Experiential Therapy in 02130

I’m Sam, and I’m a relationship therapist. I believe healthy relationships are an essential pathway to individual and collective healing. In our work together, we will identify some of your core relationship patterns and find their origins, often stemming from your childhood. I’ll help you become more aware of your individual thoughts, feelings, and underlying motives in your relationship so that you can learn to understand and take responsibility for the impacts of your behaviors on each other. Ultimately, I hope to help you find ways to care for each other that feel nourishing, consensual, and interdependent.

Beginning the search for a therapist can feel daunting, intimidating or overwhelming. I work with clients who are seeking to deeply embody their questions, reflections and emotions through dance-movement therapy (primarily authentic movement) and arts-based exploration (visual arts and writing). The clients I work with define themselves as deep feelers and imaginative thinkers.

Welcome, you made it. Take a breath. My name is Liz and I offer a variety of therapeutic services for humans of all kinds. Many people I see, from adolescents to those in late adulthood, move through the world with queer and/or neurodivergent identities. They are seeking support managing the impact of chronic trauma, anxiety, stress, and depression, or looking for help navigating life transitions, peer relationships, and family interactions. They're looking for a reprieve from the inner critic and racing thoughts, they want to regain control, and feel peace. Most of all they want to be seen and heard for who they are.

Currently only accepting clients of Ketamine Assisted Therapy. Are you struggling with fear, sadness, loneliness and/or relational difficulties? Do you feel stuck, lost or aimless and aren't sure how to break free? If you're at a point where you are ready to heal and develop the capacity and skills to build the life you want you've found the right therapist. I believe you already have what you need inside you and my goal is to help you access that so that you can build a meaningful, connected and joyful life.

I am Accepting New Clients! Are you seeking support to deal with a challenging relationship, feel good about yourself, or manage work stress? Life can be complex, demanding, and unpredictable. And relationships can feel conflicting and overwhelming. There's a way to live in harmony with your true self, find relief and answers, gain a sense of order, and heal. That's what I can help you access.

I specialize in couples therapy because I think it has the potential to be uniquely transformative. Unlike many other forms of therapy in which we talk about relationships, in couples therapy, the relationship is happening in the room. The desire for change is strong when we risk losing what we treasure most. In this high-stakes, dynamic space, we often feel inspired to take risks that lead to lasting change.

I am passionate about working with couples to achieve a more intimate and satisfying relationship. In therapy, I work with each individual to identify issues that are interfering in achieving these and use a strengths-based approach to support clients to develop better ways of relating. I believe that the best way to get to the root of the issue is through being open and direct with clients.

You want more pleasure, especially sexual pleasure, and a little part of you knows that you deserve it, but something is in the way. Concerned about your sexual performance, feeling uncertain if you're navigating intimacy correctly? Feeling like the flame of passion has died in your relationship, leaving you yearning to reignite it? You might be encountering physical discomfort during sexual activity, experiencing orgasm difficulties, or feeling nothing at all.

Psychotherapy is a good, honest, and interesting conversation amongst equals. It is a guided journey of self-awareness to reclaim our authenticity. We activate inner resources through storytelling, so to gain new perspectives about ourselves, and others. We are not mechanically determined by our past. Imagination opens creative alternatives reinforcing a sense of realistic hope. The goal is to achieve meaning, and purpose in all the spheres of our existence.

Making a connection and being understood are essential to a positive and productive therapeutic alliance. My clients say they feel relief and gain insight which helps them enjoy a better quality of life and better relationships. I have 2 locations- the Wellness Seed Collective in Amherst and Stepping Stones Farm in Temple. We can meet in the office to explore struggles, develop strategies and resolve issues. We can also go outside to partner with horses for the powerful experiential method of Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.
