Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 02116

Are you having a hard time motivating yourself, and figuring out who you are, or what you aspire to be? I am a compassionate and energetic clinician who appreciates the uniqueness of who you are and who can empower you to implement the change that you want to see in yourself. For many of us, finding that interconnectedness between who we are and who we want to be can be challenging. My work is to collaborate with you to identify ways of addressing the barriers that may be holding you back so that you can find the satisfaction that you want in your life.

Licensed in Massachusetts and Connecticut - “I couldn’t heal because I kept pretending, I wasn’t hurt”. My goal is to provide you with space to make sense of your past, organize your thoughts, gain a perspective while making difficult decisions, process life events, understand yourself better, as well as be challenged and grow in a space that is safe.

I deeply understand the impact of feeling stuck and the challenges it can present in your life. I believe our past experiences can shape who we are, but they do not have to define our future. Whether you are seeking personal growth or navigating professional challenges, I am here to support you in embodying the best version of yourself while harnessing your internal resources.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am licensed mental health counselor who utilizes mindfulness, and somatic knowledge in my sessions. I believe in a person-centered, strengths-based approach to aid my clients in identifying unhelpful recurring thoughts or behavioral patterns so they can work towards feeling confident as their authentic self. I want to help clients learn coping skills and ways of life that support their unique needs. I am passionate about establishing a safe, inviting space to lay the groundwork for healing.

There are times in our lives when we end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes, we find ourselves in unwanted patterns that lead to self-doubt, damaged relationships, failure to reach our potential and an inability to see our worth. Therapy can help people recognize these patterns and learn new ways to cope.

Please feel free to call if you are looking for support or therapy. I am available to work with anyone who resides in Massachusetts. All sessions will take place online using a telehealth devise utilizing communication on a computer, tablet or phone.

Welcome. Each of us has the potential to connect with and live from a creative, energized and compassionate center. Once established, we can perpetually draw upon this connection to understand and accept our past, to guide our present, and to embrace our future. With warmth, commitment and respect, and with attention to body, mind, and spirit, I work to help people access their unique inner resources. My therapeutic approach integrates relational, insight-oriented, and Internal Family Systems modalities with mindfulness-based practices.

I help my patients understand how our past experiences can keep us from moving forward in life and in our most important relationships: partners, children, other family, work, friends, finances, etc. I value collaboration in identifying what you would like to change in your life, and most importantly, fostering insight of how things have come to be so that you can feel empowered in using your strengths to make sustainable changes toward the life you want to live.

Hi there! You did it - you took the first step towards your journey to become a better version of you. I'm Sandy, a licensed therapist with 15+ years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, including anxiety and depression. I hold dual master's degrees from Boston University—one in Financial Economics (yeah, numbers are my thing) and the other in Social Work (because people matter most!). During the therapy session, I use a person-centered, and collaborative approach to guide our work together. I prioritize creating a warm and empathetic environment where you feel truly heard and understood.

As a South African immigrant I love working with other's who question identity and meaning in life.

Psychotherapy represents a deeply personal journey, often intertwined with intricate and conflicting emotions. Central to its effectiveness is the establishment of a safe, respectful, and supportive therapeutic environment, laying the groundwork for self-awareness and growth. My practice is dedicated to facilitating this process, guiding individuals towards enriching their interpersonal relationships and fostering personal development. With a foundation rooted in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories, supplemented by a commitment to harm reduction principles, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Our center provides humanistic, evidence-based care by experienced, judgment free, affirming, well trained therapists with lived experience.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I specialize in working with individuals and couples that have been impacted by trauma. I believe we are shaped by our experiences and that each client is unique. There is not a “one size fits all” approach to trauma treatment, which is why I utilize an eclectic approach that focuses on each client’s needs. I use an individualized approach that includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and attachment theory to inform treatment. I also offer individual case consults and work with organizations as a consultant and trainer to improve understanding around trauma response.

I view therapy as an active process on the part of the client and the therapist, set within the context of a relationship built on trust, vulnerability, and curiosity. My clients may be seeking to develop greater personal agency and authenticity in their lives. They may want to clarify their values and life direction or better understand and manage their emotional lives, resolve self-defeating behavior patterns, or foster meaningful relationships. I often work with clients who are living their lives in environments which demand consistent excellence in performance and who may, as a result, have distinct needs and challenges.

My perspective on therapy is one that fosters individual's strengths and resiliency, by honoring the individual's background and experience within a holistic approach. I support the whole person through relationships, career, spirituality, culture, health and wellness. My therapeutic process addresses your specific personal life challenges by examining your circumstances and discovering your obstacles. Together, we will develop a course of action to meet your needs. My goal is to help you learn how to make choices that create an authentic and long-lasting change.
