Women's Issues Therapists in 01003

I am an LGBTQAI sex educator and a psychotherapist, and I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I was clinically trained at the Smith School for Social Work and the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society in New York City. I lived in New York City for over a decade and during that time founded the advocacy and education organization, Translate Gender, Inc. I utilize a transfeminist therapeutic approach in working with LGBTQ adolescents, individuals, and families. My interests include working with couples, polyamorous relationships, BDSM relationships, as well as working with those in alternative family structures.

Psychotherapy can lead to profound changes in feeling more connected to yourself and others and to creating a greater sense of well being. Therapy is a collaborative process built around the foundation of a trusting therapeutic relationship and it is in this context that healing and growth can emerge. Through thoughtful exploration and collaborative insight, I can help you find relief from your symptoms and facilitate resolutions to conflicts and challenges, leading to a greater ability to make the adjustments you want for yourself and your relationships.

Do you want to make change but are feeling unmotivated, stuck, anxious, unfilled, or depressed? Change is both challenging and rewarding. My role is to help you identify these feelings and to help provide additional perspective, support, and help you to live a more fulfilling, authentic existence. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, I can help you to clarify and connect with your core values (what matters most), and take action to move in the direction of fulfillment.

I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore and process what you need. Life is full of events that bring about intense and unpleasant feelings. Therapy can provide you with the skills and tools you need to continue to function despite these unpleasant feelings.

I want to commend you for taking the first step to getting help. My name is Jasmine Elrod and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, grief, compassion fatigue, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and marginalization.

It is strange and often hard to be a human being. I walk alongside my clients amidst life's chaos to demystify each client's unique inner world. I encourage clients to get curious about their symptoms rather than to judge or condemn them. I am passionate about couples work in particular, as this is my current specialty/focus. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, where I studied dream/imaginal work & unconscious processes. My work is primarily psychodynamic & depth-oriented - striving to uncover what has been forgotten, digging deep, & viewing all parts of self as valuable

I specialize in building skills for those with anxiety and depression based issues, primarily with young adults. Through understanding the mind-body connection and incorporating holistic interventions, I works with you to create goals that align with your vision for yourself by incorporating your past, present, and future selves. I seek to help you build resilience, resolve negative core beliefs, and live a fulfilling life. I will listen from a non-judgmental standpoint and utilize a trauma-informed lens. I combine my insight to help you understand your emotions, identities, and continue your personal growth.

Are you searching for a therapist who can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and overcome your mental health challenges? As a licensed (LICSW) psychotherapist providing telehealth services to adults aged 18 and older, my warm and pragmatic approach to therapy involves breaking down problems to help you gain clarity and insight into your situation.

I come to private practice with a background in trauma, attachment, development, and identity, including an ongoing affiliation with the Cutchins Children’s Clinic. As a therapist, I partner with you to make sense of your story. Through this work, we often discover together that what’s happening for you in the present makes perfect sense given what you’ve lived through so far and the forces that have shaped you. With this understanding, you can more easily access softness toward yourself and others, and even find other ways of being.

I am a warm and present psychologist who will help you balance acceptance and change. I create a welcoming and collaborative space to explore your challenging emotions and work to accomplish your goals. I believe that meaningful change comes from increased awareness, and I will help you build your awareness toolkit to understand how your emotions, relationships, and past experiences shape your life today. I will invite you to strengthen your mindfulness practice, explore your values, set healthy boundaries, and catch unhelpful thinking patterns. I will tailor therapy to your needs, leading you to a more present and fulfilling life.

We all deserve to live a life that brings us happiness and joy. There are bumps in the road and sometimes we need help navigating the terrain. I have dedicated my life to supporting people and their journeys. Our lives are made up of “right nows”, we cannot change our past, nor predict our future, what we can do is stay in the moment and embrace what comes next.

Experiencing emotional pain, worry about the future, and feeling stuck are common human conditions. Through therapy you can find new ways to change and relate differently to your feelings, thoughts, and actions. It is possible to live the life you’d like to live, and our work together can bring you closer to that. I provide a warm, supportive, collaborative and non-judgmental space where it is possible not only to reduce mental health symptomatology, but also to enhance the quality of your life through engagement in valued living. I offer both structured, time-limited treatment, and more exploratory, supportive work.

Morning Availability Only - I believe people possess intrinsic strength and inner wisdom, leading them to identify solutions for their lives. However, trauma, stress, and other problems sometimes get in the way of coping with the day-to-day of life's demands. As challenges arise, so does the need for support. As a therapist, I aim to help individuals and couples improve their relationship with themselves and each other. I enjoy helping clients through dilemmas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, sexual identity, and relational ruptures.

I view therapy as a process of deepening awareness of your experience and patterns in order to access greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I serve as a guide in examining your inner world with curiosity and compassion. This exploration—and the intimacy with yourself that emerges—brings with it the capacity to open more fully to life with its ever-changing realities.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private practice in Amherst. My style is warm, genuine and collaborative. I work with clients to identify goals for therapy and pathways for reaching those goals. I use an integrative mind-body approach which may include: talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, self compassion, mindfulness, EMDR, sandplay therapy, art therapy, journaling, and play therapy.
