Therapists in 02067

If you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, addiction or couples issues, I can support you to access the power of your body and mind to resolve painful and persistent symptoms by finding new ways of thinking and feeling. I love helping people find solutions and skills to improve their experience of life. Sometimes it takes understanding and resolving trauma and others it seems a matter of learning new skills and making new steps toward a better life. I believe deeply in one's own inner wisdom and ability to change, no matter what the circumstances have been .

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Art Therapist with over 30 years of experience working with adults, teens and families managing emotional difficulties and challenging life circumstances. My expertise is in providing effective practices to cope with strong emotions, reframe unhelpful thinking, have better communication and learn to heal from pain. My approach is to help you recognize and overcome the obstacles that interfere with your best life. My aim is to guide you on that path, meet you where you are and move towards growth. I provide a safe space to be present and attuned to your needs and therapeutic goals.

Welcome! I feel that it is very important that you feel at home in our sessions and that you feel free to to fully express yourself. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for over thirty years. I continue to develop and learn as a therapist as I incorporate evidence-based treatment interventions. I take a collaborative and empathic approach in which we work together in developing goals of treatment and in assuring that therapy is being of most value to you. I employ a combination of Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Insight Oriented Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Treatment.

I have immediate openings: I specialize in helping kids, (but I'm also eager to work with adults). Having worked with children and families at a children's hospital, I can tell you that life does have its hills and valleys. But you don't have to "go it alone": Whether it's an adult struggling to cope...or a kid with anxiety, depression, or behavior problems...I am prepared and ready to help!

I work with couples and individuals who are going through a difficult time, and/or looking to make a positive change in their life. My areas of expertise include: Couple Counseling, Relationships, Anxiety and Panic disorders, depression and mood disorders. I want to help you create the kind of life you want, your life can be changed! I individualize my intervention to your needs, using different psychological approaches.

While we cannot change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary approaches and techniques, we will discover long standing behavior patterns or negative self perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In my gentle and collaborative style of practice, I support the well being of my clients as they navigate life’s transitions and challenges. With over a decade of clinical work in hospice and outpatient mental health settings, I understand that change and transitions are unavoidable and often uncomfortable features of life. I approach our process from a strengths perspective which will identify your unique abilities, wisdom, and inner resources. We will focus on discovering and practicing skills which will become your tool kit for living your best life.

I specialize in working with motivated young professionals who want to to improve their relationships, manage stress, and navigate life transitions. Many of my clients identify as high-achievers who are looking for ways to reduce anxiety and increase balance in their lives. Whether it is feelings of uncertainty about a future career path, struggles with self-esteem and perfectionism, or adjusting to a new medical diagnosis or chronic illness, I partner with my clients to identify goals and create a path forward.

In a warm, compassionate & friendly manner, I hope to guide my clients to identify and alleviate life challenges and empower them to achieve their potential. Symptoms include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma & dissociation, learning and behavioral difficulty, developmental issues, relationship conflicts, social anxiety, loss/grief, life transitions, parenting stress, health/medical concerns, healthy life style, physical pain, chronic illness, peer issues, Aspergers & PDD, adoption and bariatric surgery consultation. Approaches include cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, supportive, and mind/body techniques (e.g., mindfulness meditation, relaxation, visualization and Qi Gong). I am trained in EFT. I am interested in the role of spirituality and religion on well-being.

I work with adults who are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, and/or the parenting journey. I help clients orient themselves towards their needs and goals, set and maintain healthy boundaries in their relationships, and develop skills for regulating emotions and managing behaviors. I support my clients in nurturing more loving, trusting relationships with themselves.

My work both as therapist and parenting coach is based on the belief that we are all capable of change and growth. The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of my work, providing a safe and accepting environment where people feel held and deeply heard. I work closely with clients to loosen old patterns, reframe challenging attitudes and beliefs, or heal layers of traumatic experiences. We all struggle with uncertainty; these days more than ever, we need support to develop an orientation that points to possibilities, curiosity and hope. As my mentor says: “If you believe you can break, believe you can repair”.

Work with adults/adolescents to address their concerns with internal struggles interfering with relationships, productivitry and overall functioning.

Compassion is the most significant and integral component of therapy. My goal is to create a warm, respectful environment in which clients feel comfortable exploring their innermost feelings. Genuine and empathic in my approach, I believe in the strength of the individual to face life's challenges and to create new patterns of behavior and communication. I also believe clients must have compassion for themselves. Such compassion will lead to greater curiosity of the self and acceptance of one's experiences. This, in turn, enables the individual to see more clearly, gain new perspectives and find new solutions.

I would like to to let my future clients know that for over thirty years I have offered compassionate, solution focused therapy to individuals, couples and families who are changing their lives. Many experienced trauma, a painful loss or difficulty in becoming true to themselves. For some, anxiety, depression or debilitating anger create roadblocks to happiness and connection. Others may be managing health issues, having problems with communication, intimacy, gender identification or sexual behavior concerns. It continues to be a privilege and an honor to be asked to walk with them through to happier, more fulfilled lives.

Everyone struggles at various points in their lives. This does not mean that struggling has to become your normal state of being. You are right to get help. Therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool to help you, both individually and as a couple. Newly learned communication skills can increase resilience, cultivate personal strengths, and help tackle your challenges head-on. Sometimes, even a few small, practical changes can create real, meaningful change in your life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, work, or relationship issues, or in other ways, you can explore real change and begin your therapeutic journey.

I’m a clinical psychologist with years of experience treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and related issues. In my practice, I work with adults to identify and make progress toward their emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, and professional goals in a supportive, empowering manner. I collaborate with clients to create a comfortable, safe, and respectful atmosphere in which we can work together.

With adults I provide a supportive environment to work on practical strategies to improve your life. Our main focus is on your present and future, but if past feelings, behaviors and situations are still getting in your way we explore what happened and work on creating healthier patterns. In working with children and teens I teach skills and strategies, and periodically bring parents into sessions. I have expertise to share, but you are the expert on your child! We'll all work together to build on your child's strengths, increase their confidence and solve problems at home or school.

Transitions and the unexpected are an integral part of our life's journey! As a psychotherapist, I will walk with you along this path by being actively engaged in providing healing in which you experience a safe environment to feel respected, understood, and heard. Looking for a therapist is a courageous, pivotal step. Finding a harmonious match is crucial. In journeying through issues, therapy is a healing process whereby the therapist and client connect in a trusting path. My approach is collaborative with you to define goals building on your strengths to help you grow, change, and to feel empowered.

I specialize in the treatment of body image, self-worth/self -esteem, divorce, support for the spouse of an addict, and anxiety. I primarily work with women and men. At this time, I am no longer seeing adolescents under 18.
