Accepting new clients for the group practice: Rooted Counseling Services! I am a Clinical Social Worker and the Founder of 'Rooted.' My specialty is within the family context, working with children, families, and parents. My focus when working with children and teens is to help them through the transitions they face with a relational approach and an empathetic ear, all while exploring helpful strategies. I have advanced training in pre and post-natal mental health and I enjoy working with parents while they explore their new journey in parenthood. -Within my group practice, there are several specialized child/family clinicians-

Some concerns that bring people to me are their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety; feelings of worry, emptiness, and sadness; a search for connection and meaning in relationships and work; life transitions; perfectionism; self-doubt; relationship difficulties; divorce; searching for life direction and a sense of purpose; loss and grief; and exploration of identity. I work with people through collaborative, interactive conversation to help them gain insight, to develop strategies to approach their life challenges, and to feel known and understood. People describe me as empathic, genuine, and with a sense of humor.

The pace and fullness of our lives as women can be overwhelming. The weight of what we carry, coupled with the many challenges that come into our lives can be difficult to manage. Are you looking for skills to improve your coping, self-care, and engagement with your life? I offer therapeutic services to assist women in managing emotions and behaviors to optimize their mental health and well-being. I am dedicated to helping you make space for yourself in your relationships, workplace, at your home, and in your life through improved communication, self-awareness, self-care, and self-love.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who has worked in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use disorders for twenty+ years. I am especially concerned for, not only the person who uses, but the people who have been affected by a loved one's behaviors, be it substance use or something else. Often dealing with a loved one's issues can cause significant impairment in your own life and mental health. Self-care is essential if you are going to live a sane and happy life. To help someone else, it is of upmost importance to have support and help for yourself.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, focused on assisting individuals and families to navigate the unexpected challenges of life. At one time or another, we all find ourselves trying to cope with unforeseen problems or circumstances that feel too hard or complex to manage alone. “This is not what I planned!” Today you are making an important decision to reach out for assistance to cope with the life stressors you are currently experiencing. Areas of particular interest: coping with life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, substance use or recovery for individuals / families, and challenges of military families.

Hello, my name is Shari Bennett, I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience as a therapist . In 1988 I opened Interactions Counseling and Intervention Center, a group private practice in Westford, MA. At Interactions we believe in treating the child and adolescent within the context of the family, school and larger community. For adults, we offer individual, family, and couples counseling, separately or in combination, so that the person can achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time. We collaborate with you to design a treatment plan that is unique to your specific needs.

I have expertise in working with children and adolescents, as well as, adults. I focus my clinical work on supporting clients with addressing their needs around anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, as well as addiction, and substance use. I have worked for years on supporting students around developing executive functioning skills. I also have extensive experience working with families addressing the interpersonal dynamics within a family system to support the family as a whole. I enjoy working with parents to do therapy and coaching for working with their children when they are presenting with challenging behavior.

Most of the way show up and experience the world comes from our early life and family dynamics. It impacts our choices, our relationships, and most importantly the way we view ourselves. Understanding how your family dynamics have impacted your life and then determining who the real, special and unique you really is allows you to show up and respond to life and relationships with honestly, integrity and meaning. This is an important and very healthy journey that can lead to profound recovery. I am honored to assist my clients through this powerful journey of self discovery and recovery.

It is as though a “What if…” reel is running in your mind. You are so exhausted by the second (third and fourth!) guessing of your choices and your interactions with others. Dealing with your anxiety is taking up so much energy. Sometimes you try to avoid the things or situations that are causing your anxiety. Other times you might check in with a friend, partner or parent asking, “Do you think what I did was okay?” Still other times you imagine worse-case scenarios playing out and strategize how you can prevent them. But the worry comes back.

Are you having a hard time figuring it all out? What you want, how to get there, or who you are? If you have big ideas that you’re having a hard time translating into daily life, you’ve come to the right place. I love working with adolescents and young adults who want to create a path towards their goals. I often work with people whose anxiety, depression, trauma, or behavioral struggles have held them back from being able to find the version of themself that they seek. If you know where you want to be but can’t get there or if you don’t even know who you want to be, let’s talk. Find out more here: www.ampersandcounselingma.com.
