Therapists in 02155

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and enjoy working with couples and individuals on relationship and other issues such as communication, conflict resolution, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and depression. I have years of experience at various clinical settings. Other than my outpatient therapy work, I have an extensive experience providing wraparound service for families with children who have severe emotional and behavioral needs. I have worked for Elder Protective Services with elders who are neglected and abused. I have also provided psychiatric evaluation at emergency services and home-based family stabilization work for families with children who are in psychiatric crisis.

I believe emotional pain is a signal we need to make changes. Symptoms of depression and anxiety, overfunctioning in relationships, over work, heavy reliance on substances or alcohol are all telling us something needs to shift. Familiar patterns of behavior may have served you in the past, but aren't working now. It can be hard to identify what's getting in the way of moving forward and to believe you can make necessary changes. I'd like to be a guide in helping you get 'unstuck' so that you can move more freely towards what is important to you.

I see therapy as an opportunity to discover your own resilience and inner ability to heal and grow. Each person has unique strengths that make self-growth and recovery possible. It is my goal to give you therapeutic tools and coping skills, allowing you to empower yourself in your life journey. With over ten years of experience in the mental health field, I enjoy working with adults, older adults, LGBTQIA+, and individuals with disabilities. I embrace clients of all races, cultures, and ethnicities, and I welcome the opportunity to learn from clients from different backgrounds.

*CURRENTLY FULL* I am a licensed psychologist providing adult psychotherapy, couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I approach therapy from a relational perspective, and enjoy working collaboratively with clients and their strengths to create change. I am particularly interested in working with clients around family of origin issues, relationship issues, trauma, sexual relationships and sexuality. I work with couples on communication, strengthening relational dynamics and sexual or intimacy concerns. I also work as a sex therapist and am open to working whether you come as a couple or as an individual.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. My belief is that it is critical to examine the structures and dynamics that we both exist within and from which we often experience marginalization. I both have experience in and am greatly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients, clients from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds, and clients on the autism spectrum. I believe that an understanding of the way we navigate the world is integral to better understanding ourselves.

One of the most difficult conversations people can have is talking about themselves, but that is why therapy is so important: to give people the opportunity to practice how to talk and care for themselves. I would like to work with someone who wants to learn more about themselves, brainstorm on how to carry themselves, and find more ways to love themselves. Therapy is a wonderful place to rediscover what makes us who we are. Therapy is also a great place to take stalk on what we have in our life both the good and the needs improvement.

I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative exploration of past obstacles, fears and losses while developing strategies, hopes and ideas to create the life and relationships you desire.

These past few years have shown just how unpredictable and stressful life can be. Many individuals are reaching out for support for the first time in their lives, given all that we've been through. It is important to me as a therapist to ensure that the client is heard, supported, and made to feel understood. I believe that everyone has unique strengths with which they are able to overcome challenges. I enjoy partnering with individuals in an effort to tap into their strengths to reach their personal goals. BLM, Asian, LGBTQ ally. Follow me on Facebook at Edith Block.

I help people who are exploring questions of sexuality, gender expression, and relationship styles to accept themselves in their beauty and strength, so they can experience loving connection in their lives.

I also work with trauma and grief, and provide a space for the boundaried expression and relief of old wounds.

I help my clients to transform their relationships with money and work from co-dependency to interdependency. Clients who work with me learn to find their voice, express it at work and/or business, build a healthy relationship with money, drop emotional spending and overwork, increase their intentional spending, gain emotional and spiritual intelligence, creativity, intuition, and purpose. By bringing health and well-being into their workspace, they are able to improve their relationships with themselves, their family, children, and others. They find meaning, self-value, and purpose.

Therapy can be a space to gain insight and to learn new ways of coping with challenges and interacting in the world. My goal is to help you improve your overall quality of life and get out of old patterns that aren't serving you any more.

I practice with a Narrative Therapy approach. I believe that the problem is the problem and you are not the problem. I will work to open up space between you and the problem you are experiencing. Externalizing the problem creates new possibilities for interacting with the problem in a way that empowers you to have more agency in your life. I will work to help you develop a preferred storyline that is more in line with the hopes, beliefs and values that you hold dear, and work toward living life within that storyline instead of the problem-saturated story.

I come to clinical work with a first-hand knowledge of just how hard it is to be a person sometimes, complete with my own vulnerabilities, insecurities, and history. I'm a relational cultural therapist first and foremost: change and growth occurs through vulnerability and authenticity - from both client AND clinician. Who I am is part of the work that I do. I believe the impact of identity on our lived experiences is paramount - I am particularly interested in the role that social and racial oppression plays in mental health. Most of all, I'm grateful and honored to sit with my clients and hold space for the challenges they face.
