Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 04104

Thank you for exploring my page on Psychology Today. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I provide individual, couples and family therapy with an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and family systems models. (I do not treat children or adolescents in my practice.) My role as therapist is to help stimulate change by facilitating conversations that explore and lead to new ways of thinking about your life and relationships, and ways to initiate meaningful change.

I utilize a solution focused and empirically based approach to treatment that incorporates cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices within a collaborative and non-judgmental space.

Whether your needs seem small or overwhelming, if you are thinking about counseling, congratulations! Every step requires courage, and I respect yours. We all need quality counseling at times, and I would be honored to walk with you on your healing journey. My goals are to help you identify what human flourishing means for you, to help you gain insight into what keeps you from living that fully, to help you develop the tools you need to move into that flourishing, and to do so in a safe, supportive space. Also, I offer teletherapy with a generous sliding scale fee structure to make your flourishing as accessible as possible!

Hi, I’m Shimon (he/him). I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Maine and Florida. I have a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and over 20 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and communities, as well as teaching social work students and providing training to professionals. I believe that we all have challenges in life and I am here to support you and help you navigate those challenges. I have specific expertise with depression, anxiety, substance use, pre-teens, teens, adults, parenting, sociocultural impact/challenges, and men's issues.

I'm not currently taking clients due to maternity leave. Please email if you would like to join the waiting list which will open in the spring of 2024. I look forward to working with you! My approach to therapy is supportive and direct, allowing you space to understand your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in a structured and safe environment. During therapy, we begin to understand ourselves, our symptoms, while taking steps toward our goals. Therapy is a process that will illuminate our thought patterns and change the way you live your life.

Offering help for depression, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma, stress and burnout. Working with adults, college & grad students and professionals, including people in sensitive & high-profile roles for whom discretion & privacy are paramount. Here you will get a therapist that has a deep and unique understanding of suffering, a therapist that is skillful, knowledgeable, real, transparent and compassionate. A therapist that gets it and has expertise in diagnosis and treatment based on advanced knowledge of human development, psychotherapeutic treatment and advanced knowledge of research in psychology.

Therapy is an interactive process where we explore solutions and experience ourselves in new ways. Sometimes we feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), a proven approach to treating trauma and anxiety disorders. I believe memories shape the way we feel about ourselves, others, and the world, and EMDR can help neutralize the negative energy we hold in the body. I’ve uncovered so much about the healing process and how to let go of burdens both big and small, which allows us to move through the world more freely.

Feeling constantly on edge with intrusive thoughts and a looming sense of doom? Struggling with feelings of loss, fear, or hopelessness? Is your inner critic relentless, highlighting mistakes and fueling self-doubt? You're not alone. Anxiety and depression can be overwhelming, especially amidst life changes. In therapy, we'll create a safe space to explore emotions, confront fears, and develop coping strategies, fostering resilience for healing, step by step.

Taking the first step toward feeling more empowered, at ease or centered in your life is a brave one. I am here to walk alongside you as we identify your goals and work together to achieve them. I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 28 years of clinical experience and am licensed to practice in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Vermont and Maine. My practice focus is in the provision of care to adults and couples, with particular emphasis on serving the LGBTQIA+ community, those navigating transition and poly/cnm relationships. I have an office located in Westford but use a telehealth platform for most visits.

Choosing therapy can be a way to discover and hone the skills you need to cultivate the life you deserve. A fresh, nonjudgmental perspective with a background in clinical counseling practice can help you pave a path to personal growth and fulfillment. If you are at all considering starting therapy, I would be happy to call you for a free consultation!

I work with high-functioning professionals whose stressful lives are causing relationship issues, depression, or anxiety. I have a passion for helping organizational leaders better manage their work-life balance. By talking things through with an expert you can get a better handle on your difficulties, and realize your potential.
