"I provide psychotherapy as well as personalized meditation facilitation to adults & older adolescents (18+). My approach is influenced by Buddhist psychology & a mind/body perspective. It is also shaped by the three elements of self-compassion: common humanity, mindful awareness & kindness (working with the inner critic). I believe that well-being is a skill & my approach is holistic, emphasizing value-oriented action & resource building. More information: www.engineeringawareness.com"

"I work with clients across the lifespan, providing comprehensive evaluations and therapy services. I conduct neuropsychological and psychological testing with children, adolescents and adults with a variety of cognitive, developmental and psychological difficulties. Through the evaluation process, I will provide you with answers about your or your child's diagnosis, suggest the best treatments and provide access to accommodations in school or on standardized tests. I am confident that you will walk away with not only a new understanding of your or your child's struggles but also increased confidence to address those struggles effectively."

"I provide individual and family therapy to clients across the lifespan, and I have specialized training and experience working with children, adolescents and families. I use a collaborative strengths-based approach to treatment; allowing clients to utilize existing resources to make lasting changes that impact multiple aspects of their lives. I utilize cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal approaches to help clients achieve therapeutic goals. Additionally, I use play therapy, as well as family systems interventions in my work with younger clients. My hope is to empower clients and offer tools that will help them live their best and most fulfilling lives."

"I welcome children, teen-agers and their parents, couples and adults to my practice. In individual, couple or play therapy, I focus on relationships: to other people, to our pasts, to our bodies, and to our thoughts and feelings. My goal is to establish a safe setting where together we can identify and work on challenging issues in your life with curiosity, understanding and compassion, while helping you to appreciate and make use of the unique resources and strengths that you bring to our work."

"My approach to psychotherapy is based on attachment theory which states that our first important relationships (namely, with our parents) influence how we relate to those closest to us now. As infants, we learn to do whatever is necessary, including distorting our thoughts and feelings, in order to maintain that connection. This early experience even affects brain development setting the stage for depression, anxiety and dysregulation. Fortunately, current relationships (including with a therapist) can provide a corrective experience. That is the beauty of psychotherapy - by understanding how our past affects our present we are better able to negotiate our future."

"Hopeful yet overwhelmed and anxious in life? Looking for a sense of meaning and ways to feel more connected, balanced, or be of service? Ready to address what blocks you, let go of limiting beliefs, and weave the dreams you want to live? Through holistic therapy, structured dream coaching, or psycho spiritual work, together we identify your goals, build better coping strategies, and turn blocks into resources. Clients say they appreciate the space, humor, structure and clear permission to re-discover their essence, transform wounds and move forward."

"A comprehensive evaluation is often the first step in helping to understand an individual's difficulties, cognitive profile and learning differences. Working for years in ADHD clinics and neurodevelopmental centers has fostered my expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment recommendations for various cognitive, behavioral and emotional disorders in children and adults, including attention disorders, learning disabilities and pervasive developmental disorders. I also have expertise in assessing the neurocognitive effects of Lyme disease."

"Congratulations on taking a step toward creating change in your life. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor. I have extensive experience and offer support for people struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, family conflict, trauma, and addictions/substance abuse."

"Academy MetroWest provides weekly group therapy sessions that meet in a gymnasium setting. Groups use cooperative, non-competitive physical activity as a means of helping children enhance social skills and self-image. Owing to the social skills focus of the program, our most commonly encountered presenting problems are ADHD, Asperger's Disorder, NvLD, and other issues in which social skills delays figure prominently. We work with children aged 6 - 15."

"Sometimes we get caught up in who we think we should be or how we think we should act. This makes it hard to tune in to which parts of ourselves we want to nourish. I invite clients both young and old to take an active role in learning ways to increase meaning and enjoyment in their lives. I work with adolescents, adults and parents struggling with issues of depression and anxiety, ADHD, sexuality, gender identity, and family conflict. Through art, storytelling and play, I help kids put their feelings into words and learn effective ways to connect with others."

"I have worked as a psychotherapist and and guitarist for over 30 years. It seems clear to me that there are many parallels in these activities. Both are above all else, "a listening gig". I find myself committed to becoming a better listener to my clients and musical collaborators. I have experience with a variety of traditional therapies. I am interested in the interplay of psychodynamics, creative processes, mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) and meditation practice to make life more enjoyable for my clients, musical collaborators and myself."

"As a licensed clinical psychologist, I build therapeutic relationships with my clients to facilitate positive growth. I have over 20 years of extensive experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health centers and local schools. I work with individuals of all ages to improve well-being and resolve personal challenges using evidenced based and client centered treatments. I provide therapy to adults who are interested in improving their lives and or struggling with specific concerns. For example, some clients want to improve relationships with family members, reduce stress and anxiety, and learn coping strategies for managing difficult situations. Other's may want support with creating and achieving life goals. ​ I work with parents to help them develop the skills to manage their child's worries, fears, and social emotional and behavioral challenges. "

"I am a private practitioner and I am accepting new clients. I maintain a general clinical practice and have extensive experience treating clients in various settings such as community mental health, school-based and private practice. In addition to my private practice, I am currently the district-wide adjustment counselor for Northbridge Public Schools. I bring an in-depth understanding of mood and anxiety disorders, relational/family issues as well as emotional dysregulation and impulse control issues to name a few."

"I work with adults who want to tackle the issues of anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, transitions, and parenting. I find that a sense of humor helps in the therapeutic process and firmly believe that the client is the expert in their own life. My job, as I see it, is to listen to your story with an objective perspective, help you to examine and question existing behaviors and thought patterns, and assist you in developing new strategies to move your life in the direction you desire."

"For over 20 years I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families to increase their satisfaction, pleasure and functioning in relationships, work and school. I help people address feelings like depression, anxiety, anger and insecurity along with behaviors that may include addiction, poor school/work performance, ineffective communication or infidelity. Working with couples is a major focus in my practice and a topic I teach to both graduate and post-graduate students."

"**Daytime sessions available** I provide individual and family therapy to children, teens, young adults and families who are struggling with family conflict, behavioral issues, school issues, etc.. I use varied modalities depending on the family, from solution-focused therapy to more humanistic approaches, and am comfortable working with complex families. I believe that our best chance at achieving success starts with creating a therapeutic space that is safe, comfortable and allows you to speak freely about your identity and goals as an individual or family."

"I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be; and love who that person is!"

"With transition comes stress, worry and doubt. With timely and proper consultation, well guided suggestions are often the simplest way to make quick and easy progress towards personal or professional change. Recovery from the occurrences of life is a process of study and practice. Learning and strategizing for health requires teamwork and vision. Supporting you to develop skills, understand clinical interventions and build personalized strategies for wellness is my expertise and passion. Let's sit to explore, learn, laugh or cry, and let me coach your recovery."

"Psychotherapy often leads to a stronger, healthier and more fulfilling perspective on life's challenges."
