Therapists in 02446

I have over 24 years of experience in one-on-one and couples therapy, successfully treating adults and adolescents, many of whom are going through transitions in their lives. I have extensive experience in relationship issues, divorce, blended families, military issues, parenting, job and academic stress, sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. During a comprehensive assessment, I help my clients identify areas of satisfaction as well as areas they would like to change.

Does life right now seem difficult, confusing, overwhelming? Do you feel empty, or stuck? Have you experienced a painful loss? Are you dealing with a life transition, wishing to achieve something new without knowing how to move forward? Do you long for a relationship? Or is the relationship you have contentious, troubled or unfulfilling? I will work closely and collaboratively with you-whether an individual or couple-to examine what is troubling you, to understand and unravel repetitive, unproductive behavior patterns, to help you move forward into change that promotes growth, relieves painful symptoms and limitations, and creates a new sense of expansion and choice.

I am a psychotherapist, passionate about psychotherapy and the impact it can have on our societies. Trained in and from the UK, my passion for psychotherapy stems from my own experiences with therapy and the powerful impact it made on my own life as well as those around me that I hope to bring into my work. I have a reflective style that I bring into the therapeutic environment in order to achieve deeper and more authentic connections with my clients.

Hello, and welcome! My treatment approach is grounded the understanding that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is vital for this work. Together, we will work in a spirit of curiosity and collaboration to increase awareness of underlying causes contributing to current struggles, enhance self compassion and build understanding. I will support you to develop adaptive coping resouces, learn skills to respond more effectively to old patterns, and cultivate inner strengths that will support healing, growth and transformation. Specializations include: PTSD/Complex PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, relationship/adjustment challenges.

When you improve your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, you are on the path to a happier, healthier life. I’d like to help you along that path. Together, we can explore a range of approaches: whatever works. But–so you know where I’m coming from–in the end, it’s always about relationships. I’d like to meet you.

If you are struggling with a life transition, relationship issue or feeling stuck in a cycle of worry or sadness, I am here to listen to you and help. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing, gain insight into deeply rooted patterns of behavior, and identify skills to help you live life according to your own values. My style is active and engaged, and my clients find therapy to be a safe, supportive and collaborative space. We will examine the important information that your emotions convey, understand long-held narratives that may no longer serve you, and learn to expand self-compassion in life’s harder moments.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we might feel stressed, overloaded, or struggle to make decisions. You might be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, unhealthy relationship patterns, major life decisions, professional and academic performance, or parenting issues. These challenges might be keeping you up at night or are interfering with your peace of mind. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients, to explore their thoughts and feelings.

We all seek a sense of meaning and gratification in our personal and work lives, to be seen and appreciated as we are, and to feel well, alive and whole. I have over 25 years of experience working with adults and teens seeking relief from fear, anxiety, stress, anger, sadness, trauma and isolation & wanting more joy and a sense of wellbeing in their lives. I also have expertise working with people experiencing burnout, and work-related stress. I welcome working with individuals from all backgrounds, races, cultures, and gender identities, and I love working with people from the LGBTQ+ community, activists, artists and change makers.

I am a warm and compassionate therapist with training in a range of techniques to support diverse client needs. I aim to create a safe, accepting space for growth, healing, curiosity, and problem-solving. In my work, I place a high value on helping clients build self-awareness with attention to balance and wellness. I take a strengths-based approach and encourage exploration of both the past and the present. Treatment is individualized, depending on a client's goals and priorities.

I work with people who want to improve themselves, their relationships and their self image. These are people seeking a sounding board, a safe confidential place to talk, and extensive knowledge and experience dealing with their issues. My work focuses on where the client is now, and where they want to go, with no pre-conceived notions. We look at past experiences together and how they impact the present. For parents, I offer coaching and suggestions for managing challenging behaviors, and understanding the impact of early childhood trauma of behavior. With younger children, I encourage learning about expression of feelings.

If you are looking for couples or individual therapy, you've had an exhausting journey to this point. Perhaps you are a self-sufficient person who is used to making it on your own, but there is so, so much you are asked to hold right now. You may notice that in the strain in your relationships, in your unexpected emotional reactions, and in your body. There can be an overwhelming gap between the life and relationships you hope to have and your day-to-day reality. I offer a way forward through couples therapy and individual therapy that is informed by rich training and experience while honoring your depth, complexity and uniqueness.

People tend to suffer alone in silence with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Distress, Eating Disorders and Grief over loss for far too long. I am an Associate Clinical Psychologist - Massachusetts General Hospital & Clinical Instructor - Harvard Medical School. I have over 30 years of experience doing individual, couples and group psychotherapy. More important than my extensive experience working with adults and adolescents is my approach to treatment. I am a warm, engaging, interactive therapist. In order to alleviate pain associated with depression and anxiety my patients and I go on a journey to discover the roots of problems.

I am a psychotherapist with 10+ years of experience providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. My focus is on in-depth psychoanalytic therapy informed by the theory and practice of Lacanian psychoanalysis. People come to work with me when there is a problem—a symptom, a conflict, a traumatic experience—that gets in the way of satisfaction in life. Common issues include anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and difficulty with love and sexuality. Psychoanalytic work aims at addressing the real causes of these problems, and can result in new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Navigating OCD, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions can be emotionally and physically draining. There is little more frustrating than thinking and behaving in the same ways despite knowing they contribute to these issues and other debilitating symptoms. Therapy is a place to safely explore the thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that are interfering with living a more fulfilling and rewarding life. (more info on www.smithlicsw.com)

I am currently not accepting new clients. I no longer accept insurances, but am still a Give-An-Hour provider for current clients and provide a sliding fee scale.

Therapy can re-establish your direction in life and restore your hope. What is not working for you? Do you feel stuck between thoughts and feelings that contradict one another? I have years in clinical practice supporting people to better understand their life experiences and the feelings holding them back. I make it comfortable to talk about sensitive topics, like sexuality and difficult relationship problems. As we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns, you will discover ways to overcome sadness, fear and other emotional obstacles. Problems, once confronted, lead to insights and new found strength, self- acceptance and freedom.

I offer individual & couples/relationship therapy to adolescents & adults where I provide an integrative, client-centered, relational approach to treatment. I’m influenced by psychodynamic, attachment, & social justice theories, as well as contemplative psychology, somatic, & strengths-based approaches. I draw on multiple modalities, including relational psychoanalysis, DBT, mindfulness, hypnosis, ACT, & body-based approaches in order to provide individualized treatment. I understand feelings & patterns of behavior as pieces in a complex network of motivation & influence & I treat people as the complex beings they are.
