"I am a compassionate professional with over fifteen years of combined social service and counseling experience. I value the unique way we all walk in the world and how this impacts our relationships and connections.

It is of utmost importance to me that everyone I meet with feels seen, heard, and validated."

"I work with individuals and couples who find themselves trapped in patterns of emotion and behavior that keep them from moving forward in their lives and relationships. I don't think of probems as illnesses, but as learned ways of navigating the world that no longer work-every problem started out as a solution. Problems are not solved by counteracting them with skills or willpower, but by deeply confronting and changing the emotional learnings that make them seem inevitable. I use Coherence Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to guide people into a deeper awareness of their emotional truths, and to mindfully transform them."

"My clients are high functioning individuals who want help getting unstuck in some area of their lives, are seeking direction, and want help in alleviating pain, whether it is physical, emotional, psychological, relational, or spiritual. It's not unusual for them to have tried different therapies before coming to me, and most find that the combination of approaches that I use creates a healing synergy that they have not found elsewhere. In fact, my business card says "Deep Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit." See my website at kweymouth.com for details."

"My goal is to provide a warm, safe, accepting environment for individuals and families to grow and rebuild hope for the future. I believe that each individual has their own unique strengths and I tailor therapeutic services to build upon these gifts and differences. I find several factors contribute to life challenges and stress including family history, social situations and internal thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, my goal is to help you identify these factors and find the tools that work for you."

"I believe that people do the best they can with what they have. No one wants to be unhappy, in a bad relationship or depressed. I view therapy as a team effort between client and counselor. We work on learning new communication skills, changing negative thought patterns and establishing healthier habits."

"At In Context, I strive to create safer space for my patients to explore those issues and challenges that most affect their quality of life and their relationship to themselves and others. I practice from an existential and gestalt framework and help patients raise a critical awareness of themselves that is socially located and honors their varied intersectionalities. My client's healing and growth in therapy will be evidenced by their lived experience of freedom from restriction, new desire and capacity for authenticity, and a sustained willingness to explore new and affirming experiences and ways of being in the world."

"We all deserve to feel aligned, safe and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we feel healthy and fulfilled we are more likely to live with presence. I utilize a creative, eclectic, evidence based lens, centered in mindfulness, to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, needs, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. I addresses problems from a compassionate lens meeting clients where they are. Our work together involves expanding awareness of our inner minds, and our felt sense to move towards a more integrated self."

"I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families. I believe in being compassionate but direct. I help my clients uncover their internal resources for healthier coping and the possibility of change. I believe each person has the potential resilience needed to make adjustments in his or her life. As a therapist it is my job to help my clients access those resources in a constructive way."

"Do you struggle with issues related to sex, sexuality, and gender identity? I have worked to specialize in these issues which are frequently considered taboo. I strive to provide a safe and accepting environment for my clients to discover more about their sexuality/gender identity, transform it into what they want, and affirm who they are. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is hard, so I hope to make it a little easier by offering a free consultation to make sure we are a good fit."

"Often emotional pain, stress, and excessive worries prompt people to seek outside help. Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in your life that have left you feeling overwhelmed. Do you feel your emotions are controlling you instead of the other way around? Do you long to have a deeper connection to others? Do you feel like you have tried everything and yet nothing has changed? Counseling can be a helpful tool in sorting through emotions, identifying relational patterns and negative thinking that can create barriers to reaching goals of happiness and connection."

"I work with children (6-12)and teens (13-18) who are experiencing family conflict, behavior issues at home or school, and other challenges stemming from experiences of trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, depending on your needs."

"I've been a professional therapist for 25 years and a student of Buddhist mindfulness practices for over 30 years. I love working with people who are not just trying to fix problems but are wanting to understanding better who they are, why they're here, and how do they do that well. I also help couples learn to communicate about their stuck places and to improve their practice of intimacy with each other. I enjoy helping people who have a spiritual practice bring it into the gritty work of partnering, raising children and sharing their wisdom with the world."

"As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with individuals who have been through trauma and abuse and are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety or depression, as well as substance abuse that are affecting their well-being and causing relationship issues.

"My work is primarily with LGBTQ communities with a specialty in transgender identities. This includes letter writing, supporting individuals, families, and relationships through social, spiritual, medical, and/or the multiple ways one can transition. I also work with LGBTQ individuals and families surrounding day-to-day concerns that may have little to do with their gender and/or sexual orientation. This may include relationship conflict, grief/loss, life transitions, and/or mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. I currently work with children/teens and adults 10 and up in a private practice setting."
