"Good therapy happens when clients feel respected and understood. I listen, talk, interpret, untangle - always drawing on my experience with intergenerational and relational issues - to address your individual needs. Together we can identify goals, overcome obstacles, and help you make positive change."

"A safe, empathic therapeutic space for clients to make meaningful changes in their lives," "I help clients make meaningful and necessary changes for overall increased life satisfaction. I do this by providing a safe, non threatening and supportive setting for clients to "do their work" and create a therapeutic space where humor is allowed. If appropriate, a client's sense of their own spirituality is acknowledged and integrated as a resource of empowerment, to sort through feelings, thoughts and behaviors that either help or hinder them in achieving identified goals."

"You might be an individual going through a life transition and you would like an experienced, compassionate and collaborative therapist to help you bring yourself into full expression, through appreciating your strengths, and working with you to create goals and connections to a better future. Or, perhaps you are partnered, having difficulty with patterns of communication and want a safe place to re connect."

"The way you cope seems unhealthy and/or ineffective. You put others before yourself, fear change and hold yourself to a high standard, maybe perfection; this leads to significant anxiety/stress, irritability and/or sadness. You always feel you can do better and never feel like enough. My passion is work with women in their 20s and early 30s who feel stuck and uncertain and want to understand ways to move towards a more confident and accepting place and a path that would best serve you in moving forward with peace and clarity in your life. The way you handle life stress is not working for you and leaving you burnt out and hopeless. "

"I specialize working with adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-worth, and struggles in their relationships. My goal is to help you in compassionate, warm, and empathetic ways understand what you are experiencing in your mind and body. I will help you understand your thoughts and feelings, why they are there, and organize them so you can make choices in your life that feel right to you. I want to help you build a strong sense of self, feel valued, and connect to others in healthy ways."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Do you have "self-defeating" patterns that need to be addressed? My work is to guide you in transforming harmful personal thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors to create whole-self integration and alignment. I help individuals bring awareness to emotional blocks and patterns, allow space for them, and support in treating and transmuting those aspects for optimal living. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, addiction, grief, school, career or relational challenges, I am ready to support you in creating a cohesive relationship of mind, body, and spirit. "

"I am an MGH-affiliated psychologist with a private practice in Arlington for adults and young adults. Specialties include managing stress; depression; anxiety (social anxiety, panic, generalized anxiety); relationship concerns; and coping with infertility, cancer, and other medical illnesses. I have also worked extensively with clients whose lives have been impacted by family members, partners, or others close to them who have personality disorders, depression, or other illnesses. My training and experience is in cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and most recently, mindfulness-based approaches. "

"I feel very fortunate to do the job that I do. I approach therapy as a real collaboration between my clients and myself. I believe that people already have inner resources needed for inner exploration and healing, and that therapy is a place where we can work together to discover and utilize those resources. I would describe my style as warm and interactive; I ask questions, I give and seek feedback, and I often use humor. I also focus on being present and open with you, listening with full, active attention in the moment. Overall, my hope is that when you come here, you’ll feel heard, supported, and like you can be yourself."

"Hi! I AM taking new clients but DO NOT take insurance. I'm a group and individual psychotherapist specializing in childhood dysfunctional family trauma. If you are seeking a general light talk therapist, I am not right for you. I work from a very specific and effective model regarding my client's childhood that promotes deep and lastly change and healing. It calls for emotionally motivated deeper work. My clients experience shifts in negative core beliefs, are able to reclaim intimacy, profoundly change their relationship with themselves, and others. Most importantly, they are able to reclaim some joy and well being. "

" Welcome! Everyone has resources and strengths that can enhance one's life and relationships. People who contact me often feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, ashamed, or burdened in some way. I will help you to identify and use your unique resources to address particular challenges and to create the life you choose to live."

"I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) whose individual practice is dedicated to Pet Loss Grief Counseling & Caregiver Support. Grieving the loss of an animal companion can be especially lonely in our culture. Our grief may not be recognized by those around us; our relationship not understood. I provide a safe place for you to grieve: to share uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and difficult care-giving decisions, to share photos & stories. If you are feeling the harshness of a world seeming not to notice your profound loss, together we can explore ways for you to honor your beloved & find meaningful connections. "

"Please note I am not accepting clients at this time. It takes a lot of courage to enter into therapy as it means acknowledging that something isn't working in your life. Everyone who comes into therapy is a unique individual whose problems are different eventhough they may fall under the same category,e.g."depressed." Sometimes people enter into therapy with specific problems while for others there is a need to understand old, negative patterns of behaviors."

"I am available for video sessions during this uniquely challenging time. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, my goal is to increase connection. Connection to ourselves by deepening self-awareness, insight, and options for change. Connection to our family members by overcoming the obstacles that cause pain and distress. Connection to our partners by learning how to reach for each other and maintain secure attachment. "

"My name is Carita Anderson. I am a clinical psychologist. I help my patients to increase the emotional and physical connections in their lives, whether it is with a partner, children, parents, or themselves. My patients find that I can facilitate their ability to look at tough issues, communicate with others, accept themselves, and reach mutually agreed upon goals. You can learn how to regulate your body, be less reactive, and have empathy and compassion for yourself and others. The only thing you have control over is how you respond in a situation."

"Using the latest research about the importance of human connections, we offer expertise to join you in better understanding and resolving the relationship challenges in your life. We help our clients learn new ways of interacting within their most important relationships, to create more fulfillment and meaning in their lives. Utilizing the short-term, results-oriented model of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we can help you learn a better way to connect with your loved ones. By teaching you how to use new relational tools, we enable you to change old patterns that have led to frustration and disconnection."

"I am a "generalist" and clinically serve individuals, couples and families across all phases of development (from pre-teens and adolescents through to older adults). Psychotherapy is a process designed to increase general mental health and well-being by clarifying goals and values, strengthening psychological weaknesses, and learning more effective and sophisticated strategies to better manage emotional, social and internal (e.g. thoughts) life. Through a gentle but focused conversational style, I utilize the latest clinical research and theory to construct a collaborative and personally-tailored treatment plan that aims for symptom relief and performance enhancement."

"I enjoy helping individuals and couples overcome whatever is preventing them from experiencing greater health, emotional well-being and fulfillment in their lives. For nearly 24 years, as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I have provided counseling to clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions and loss, recovery issues, career change, as well as creative blocks. In addition to my expertise, I bring warmth, compassion and humor to each session, along with a deep respect for clients' strengths and experiences. "

"I provide a therapeutic space where clients can begin to look at relationships, beliefs, values and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. I approach the sessions with warmth and humor and my hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease."
