Therapists in 02446

Therapy begins where you are. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Whether you are dealing with a particular crisis or simply want to know more about yourself, therapy can lead to a better understanding of who we are and what has shaped us. Through these discoveries, therapy can allow you to identify old patterns that have been standing in your way of living the life you want.

My approach is active, supportive and collaborative. I enjoy working with people dealing with life transitions, relationship issues, career/academic, parenting, grief, chronic illness, disabilities, divorce, remarriage, and GLBT populations. I also like working with people who are creative and/or who have a sense of humor. I usually have only day time appointments and I do not usually see clients on weekends.

I am a practice owner and clinical psychologist at Brookline Adult and Child Counseling (BACC). BACC is a collective of diverse clinicians, who bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our collaborative practice. BACC offers individual, dyadic, group, couples and family sessions for people of all ages. We provide an affirming, personalized treatment approach, grounded in psychodynamic principles and above all the meaningful connections we make with our clients.

I offer individual, couples & group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, taking an integrative holistic approach to treatment. If you are navigating challenges with anxiety, OCD, depression, family/relationship conflicts, trauma, women's issues, low self-esteem, impulsivity, or a life transition, we may be a good fit! My expertise is in integrative psychotherapy, where I draw from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, relational & strengths-based approaches to provide individualized treatment. If you have a spiritual practice or faith, I also incorporate your faith and spiritual practices into our work.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression, using multiple approaches (see below). Many of my clients are graduate students, and young professionals. But I also work with older adults, who are juggling work, relationships, and family commitments. Life in Boston can be exciting, but also demanding and stressful. I work with clients on reducing the stress and creating more of a work/life balance. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and in the healing process, but I also believe in the importance of using various tools and techniques to help clients achieve their goals.

I believe that most of us can greatly benefit from a safe, trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Seeking help can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. I am a warm, engaged and directive therapist who believes that people can make positive changes to feel better and live more fulfilling and connected lives. My approach to therapy is integrative; combining psychodynamic, behavioral, and relational models. I work with teens, college students, adults and couples on a variety of presenting concerns. Additionally, I offer consultation and supervision services to other clinicians.

I am now providing therapy via telehealth only. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience working with individuals/couples, I often see patients who struggle with unsatisfying family and personal relationships, health problems (e.g. infertility, cancer, chronic pain), grief and loss, and trouble with work and career. Change involves both insight and actual changes in one's behavior. My goal is to create a place where we can work safely to explore the origins of problems and rapidly create positive change in one's life. My approach is warm, supportive, and actively focused on bringing about lasting change.

I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility, depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding.

Relationship issues, transitions, losses, and other life challenges can be overwhelming to face alone. During such times, it could be reassuring to meet a person who can support you and help you see hope. The goal is to gradually move away from old patterns and towards a happier, harmonious, and more fulfilling life.

At Nourished Minds, we offer compassionate, holistic, and evidence-based counseling to adolescents, adults, and families. We provide a safe, affirming, and inclusive therapeutic space for clients struggling with a wide range of mental health disorders which include anxiety disorders, eating disorders, trauma, OCD, and depression. Our licensed and experienced therapists specialize in treatment modalities which include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and internal family systems (IFS).

I am a licensed therapist practicing in Brookline, MA. I treat individuals and couples presenting with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and relationship challenges. I use an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavioral techniques (DBT).

Clients come to therapy for a number of reasons, such as identity shifts, grief and loss, low self-esteem, immigration/acculturative stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship & family struggles, and spiritual crises. Whatever your pull to come to therapy, I acknowledge the courage it takes to participate in your healing. Through person-centered and feminist approaches, I collaborate with clients in the process of re-defining who they are that feels the most authentic to themselves. My clinical "toolbox" includes mindfulness, a trauma-informed lens, existentialism, diversity practices, and a nonjudgmental stance.

Is your child, adolescent, or young adult struggling to learn, make friends, or stay focused? Has s/he lost interest in activities or become irritable and sad? Are you worried about how s/he is sleeping, engaging with family, or eating? Are you concerned s/he might have a disability, special learning style, mental health or social emotional challenge? Are you wondering if s/he needs an IEP, 504, ICAP, or therapy? If so, I can help determine what your child needs? I provide comprehensive evaluations that answer these questions and more. There is a solution and I can assist you in the journey to learning how to empower your family!

I work with people who may be struggling with their relationships – with themselves, within partnerships, and within families. During our initial sessions, we'll turn over all facets of the issues you've been facing. Then, we'll create an individualized plan to identify solutions, improve your relationships, and supply you with tools and perspectives you can use long after you leave therapy.

I have extensive experience and skills working with adults who are dealing with many different challenges and life circumstances. My approach is active, collaborative, and sensitive to each individual or couple's needs and goals, provided within a caring and supportive environment. I enjoy helping clients develop and use their strengths, coping skills, and understanding in order to make meaningful changes. My areas of expertise include relationship challenges, mood disorders, occupational and life stage issues, and addictions. I integrate different approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, family systems and mindfulness based therapies.

I believe psychotherapy is most effective when individuals feel genuinely connected to their therapist. I offer a safe, trusting, and supportive environment that enables individuals to develop the understanding and skills needed to make positive changes in their lives. Whether seeking therapy for symptom alleviation, a desire for greater self-understanding, or to cope with a particular crisis, good psychotherapy facilitates personal growth and learning in order to help individuals lead more fulfilling and enjoyable lives.

As a Clinician with over two decades of experience working in Psychiatry at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, I have also been in Private Practice as a Therapist specializing in the assessment and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Stress/Loss of Chronic Illness. Because I found there were few if any professionally led groups for OCD Sufferers, I developed an active Group Program for Adults with OCD. My style is warm and direct with a desire to work together to build on your strengths using Cognitive Behavioral Treatment/Exposure & Response Prevention and Psychotherapy. OCD Family Guidance also.

We all encounter moments in our lives that test our capacity to cope, and may cause us to feel ungrounded or overwhelmed. Whether you are struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, intimacy/relationship concerns, family struggles, life transitions, or simply feel like you need a space to talk through the things weighing heavily on your mind and heart, I intend to create a safe and supportive environment to explore the issues impacting you. I offer a calm, authentic, compassionate style and use an eclectic, active, relational approach grounded in psychodynamic training.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who trained at George Washington University and at Harvard University. I provide individual therapy for adults as well as couples therapy. I utilize psychodynamic/psychoanalytic perspectives in order to best understand my clients. I have worked with clients struggling with various issues such as depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, college/graduate school stress and relationship/family difficulties. I provide an empathetic, supportive, and interactive environment whereby together, the client and I can explore conflicts with the ultimate goal of reducing unpleasant thoughts and/or painful feelings.
