Lesbian Therapists in 02115

I'm Elizabeth (she/her), a therapist passionate about supporting clients of all ages. In our sessions, laughter and humor play a vital role. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, believing it is the cornerstone of effective therapy. Genuine connections promote trust, authenticity, and mutual respect, enabling you to be your true self. I work with adults, couples, kids, and families. I draw from modalities like CBT, DBT, and IFS. I reject the one-size-fits-all approach and understand that every individual is unique. We can work together towards personal growth, healing, and empowerment.

Currently accepting new clients for telehealth. I’m here to offer space for a collaborative environment that we create together based around shifts you want to feel in your life. I have focused my work supporting queer and trans folks in various areas of life. Using a trauma-sensitive framework, I hope to support folks in bringing awareness to how emotions, trauma, conflict (and more) are showing up in the body. I hope to encourage curiosity, compassion, and groundedness towards an individual’s system- however that may look and feel right for you.

Starting therapy can be the first step in making meaningful change in your life. You may be seeking therapy to explore a problem, change a pattern, recover from depression or anxiety, or improve relationships with others. Perhaps you are struggling with food or body image. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, coming out, and/or navigating gender identity, therapy should be a space where you feel seen and understood. Whatever your situation, it is possible to gain insight, solve problems, feel better, and be the best version of you.

You have been trying to get to a place where you can be authentically you. But currently, trauma is getting in the way. Whether that’s trauma from hurtful relationships or trauma from dealing with the daily impact of oppression. In order to be authentically you, you realize you’ll have to heal - heal from the past, heal from the present, and heal within the systems that harm you every day.

I am a master's level clinician who works primarily with young adults and adults, as well as adolescents. My specialties are with LGBTQIA+, trauma, and athletes/performers.

I am also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) specializing in mental skills training for athletes, teams, and other performers across high school, college, and professional levels.

Accepting new clients for in office and telehealth appointments. ——————————————————————— Have you tried everything, but still worry constantly? You don't have to live like this. There is hope. Sometimes anxiety or depression manifests in body aches, sleepless nights, numbness, feeling on edge or sensitivity to loud sounds, irritability, nightmares, feeling lonely or sad. I can support you to break free from your anxiety and find calm and joy in your days again. We could start by tapping into your own resources that might be hard to access.

Do you "overthink"? Are you constantly criticizing yourself? Are you often fearing the worst-case scenario? Do you find it difficult to get through the day without worry, stress, or even panic? Do you feel like you're not good enough? Do you struggle with your emotions? Do you often feel overwhelmed? Do you feel sad, down, or numb? Are you having trouble with a life transition, such as a new job, or stress in your relationship? Do you sometimes feel like giving up? It’s often difficult to imagine things changing. However, change IS possible!

Therapy offers a chance to change things up. Each is its own little safe haven designed to release difficult emotions and gain different perspectives from the one that keeps us stuck. Let me help you clear out the cobwebs of your life! My goal is to create a warm environment that fosters real human connection that leaves you feeling like you are part of something bigger than yourself.

Accepting new clients ...Beginning to build a strong rapport begins w/ our initial conversation, allowing for open dialogue. I aim to be as authentic, supportive, and direct as possible; helping you, you and your partner, children, and/or parents, to work on the obstacles standing in the way of reaching your goals.

My approach depends on your goals for our work together and what degree of challenge you feel ready for. Conflict or connection, I am here to support you.

A lot has happened for you, and you’ve been doing a lot just to get by. You’ve had to hide what’s really going on from others, and even from yourself. The trauma, toxic relationships, and negative life experiences have been making it hard for you to have fulfilling relationships, work, and even just to be you. You live with a lot of anxiety, stress, and depression. You don’t feel like yourself, or even know who you are, and you’re not where you want to be in life.

Do you often feel down, lost, or confused about why you feel the way you do? At night, do you replay the events of the day over and over? Maybe you feel confused about who you really are. Facing trauma and PTSD or oppressive systems can leave us feeling stuck, trapped in depression or isolated, unsure of how to live the life we want. You want more. You want to understand yourself and your life better, taking positive steps forward. You want to get a better grasp of your true identity. You want to get to a place where you can embrace your authentic self, feel connected to yourself and to and to the world around you.

I am licensed to practice in MA, NY, RI, and ME, and am available for virtual sessions. I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, combining insight and skills-based frameworks. I help clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shaped and influence who they are now and how they experience the world (insight), and I help them develop tools for addressing current life situations and for putting that insight to work in moving their lives in the direction they want (skills-based). This approach helps clients link the past which formed them, the present they are living in, and the future they wish to experience.

Now Accepting New Clients! I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker and Psychotherapist for And Still We Rise, LLC. I believe that we heal in relationships and am passionate about co-creating healing spaces that go beyond traditional talk-only, skills-based, and/or medical models of care. My approach includes highlighting clients’ existing resources and helping build new ones; unpacking how privilege and oppression impact clients’ lives and the therapeutic relationship; exploring internal conflicts; and offering a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed therapeutic space.
