Group meets in Hopkinton, MA 01748
Life can place many demands on us and our lived experiences can make it even more difficult to manage these. Our thoughts and feelings can make it hard to breathe, find motivation to do things, or cope with situations from the past, current moments, or new situations. They can keep us up at night or prevent us from moving forward. It is not easy, but you have taken the first step in the right direction and it would be my privilege to be a part of it. In the beginning, concrete strategies are developed to help with current symptoms and then progress into understanding why these feelings and thoughts exist.

I specialize in working with children and teens, and women who have experienced anxiety and mood disorders related to pregnancy, childbirth, and coping with the postpartum experience. I have a unique expertise in treating individuals on the autism spectrum, and those with ADHD, OCD, and trichotillomania diagnoses. Many people seek treatment with me since I utilize exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP). I use play therapy, expressive arts, and sand tray therapy when working with children. With adults, I integrate art, breathwork, mindfulness and mind-body connection approaches into traditional talk therapy treatment.

I am mother-of-two, polyamorous, queer, sex-positive, Jewish/atheist psychotherapist. I specialize in working with neurodivergent and/or queer teens and emerging adults and with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, consensually non-monogamous/polyamorous, or kinky. Together, we work on issues of exploring identity; communication; vulnerability; boundary setting; jealousy; navigating relationships with friends, family, and colleagues; family dynamics; and more. I also work with many people who experience chronic pain. Many of my clients struggle with depression, general anxiety, social anxiety, ADHD, or feelings of low self-worth.
This group is for men in middle age, when all the answers that worked so far are just wearing out. What does love look like at this age, and what does it feel like at this time of life? How we make and keep friends during the period of peak demand in marriage, child-rearing and work? Where can we talk honestly about a body that is getting older? Who can we talk to about our loneliness and disappointments? We will use guided reading to use neuroscience and attachment theory for coping and self-understanding.

Group meets in Medway, MA 02053
Hello, welcome to my practice. In our time together, my goal is for you to experience yourself as a unique individual along with understanding that there is nothing uniquely wrong with you. People are often judged for having problems. if you use insurance to pay for sessions, therapists are required to give you a diagnosis, indicating what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. This is not the way I look at people. There is no one who is free from suffering, which is not even the problem. Instead our "struggles" stem from a lack of compassion towards ourselves.
Our mission is to compassionately transform the culture of mental health care by providing creative solutions that make wellness accessible in every community. And while we know that caring for your mental health and being vulnerable with someone you just met can seem scary, we do everything that we can to make each Ellie appointment as comfortable and as fun as possible. We aim to walk along this journey with you and provide you with a comfortable place to talk, decompress, do the work, and heal.

Life can be tough at times. We grapple with complex emotions, relationship challenges, financial constraints, and spiritual hurdles. We all face demands from every direction, including from ourselves. It's easy to feel stuck, like life is passing you by, and it is frustrating knowing you’re not where you want to be. Events such as losing a loved one, a job, or a betrayal can shift the ground you are standing on. We sometimes experience burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma, which harm our sleep, our eating habits, moods, relationships, & jobs. I would like to work together with you to help you reach your goals.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 01748?
Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.
How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
