Therapists in Oxford, MA

I am looking forward to working with clients who are self-aware or interested in learning how to be more open to building up their self-interest. I'm happy to help clients recognize their struggles and the importance of seeking support. I am seeking clients who are motivated to improve their lives and understand that therapy and a willingness to change can lead to growth and improvement in their mental health. With these foundations in place, we can develop clear goals centered around reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health issues.

There comes a time in your life when you decide that you want something different. It may be a change in behavior, your way of thinking, or how to approach situations or others. I am here to be your impetus for change. Every human being has the power for greatness if they choose to embrace it. My goal is to help you evoke a lighter heart, perhaps fix what's broken, tackle what weighs you down, gain a different perspective, and unlock the greatest version of yourself.

Hello! I have a variety of experience treating adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, panic and other mood disorders using a solution-focused, goal-oriented approach. I believe in treating people as people, and every individual brings a unique skill-set to the table that we can tap into in order to make progress and achieve set goals. I make sure that every client has access to non-judgmental space to explore underlying issues as well as tackle every day concerns and set weekly-goals. No concern is too small and no issue is beyond treatment.

Greetings. I am a general practitioner with 20 years of experience providing psychological services. My training and practice covers the human life span. Individuals, couples, and Families are welcome. I use a unique, innovative, culturally appropriate approach that is based on best practices derived from empirical and qualitative research. With all my clients, I seek to help them pursue the full unfolding of their true self, and close the gap between their present reality and their ideal. Making changes can be difficult, but I want to congratulate you on taking the first step.

My name is Sam & I’m excited you’re here! I deeply admire what it takes to make the first step in coming to therapy & the vulnerability in truly coming as you are. What's more is my belief in the importance of cultivating a strong, secure counseling partnership upheld by authenticity, rooted in empathy & remains grounded in unconditional positive regard for whoever I sit across from. In 2011, I began my devotion to a career working with children, adults & families with a wide range of strengths, needs & backgrounds in various mental health settings. My focus is in both intensive clinical psychotherapy & family systems counseling.

Immediate openings! Congratulations on taking the first step to living your best life. Change can be scary, but with the right support, it can open doors to a life you never imagined. I have been in the therapy world for about 8 years now and through this journey, I have learned that there is not a single story that is the same. Therapy should be about the individual and meeting them where they’re at. I utilize an eclectic range of therapy modalities to help you identify your starting point and also identify what life will look like at the end of your therapy journey. I will start where you are at and we can work together as a team.

**** CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS / over a month long waiting list **** Are you doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? Has your life become unmanageable? Maybe you are feeling frustrated, anxious, full of worry, angry, sad, alone, depressed and hopeless. Perhaps you have reinforced several negative coping strategies that are negatively impacting your life. It’s time to give yourself permission to succeed. Let me work with you to make the healthy, positive changes you desire last a lifetime.

Have you been feeling unmotivated, inadequate; experiencing difficulty focusing, and/or feeling self-conscious and depressed? If so, you may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD or other MH condition. As you may already know, these difficulties make it hard to function in your daily roles including work, family social and/or academic progress.

My ideal client is likely someone seeking therapy across the lifespan, dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma. I specialize in working with athletes, especially collegiate athletes, and those facing high-stress transitions in their athletic careers, given my personal and professional background in the field. My collaborative and adaptable therapeutic approach caters to individuals seeking support and growth in various life circumstances.

My ideal clients are interested in improving their self awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I treat any of the following issues: depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, relationship issues, sexual behaviors, trauma, domestic violence, low self-esteem, eating disorders, attention deficit difficulties, autism, schizophrenia, stress management, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, child behavior and attitude problems, school behavior, low motivation, weight loss, quitting smoking, grief and loss of a loved one, divorce, parenting issues, co-dependency, pain management, social skills development, bi-polar disorder, abusive family situations, work problems, shame/inappropriate guilt, and negative thinking but treat many more issues.

Experienced in relational trauma, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and anxiety in youth and young adults, I also work extensively with parents battling a loss of identity, mood changes, and increased worry. I aim to shift focus and help parents celebrate their children, creating an opportunity for connection. Parents learn to acknowledge their past traumas and patterns to address inherited dynamics and identify successes they can reflect on. I assist in identifying what is working and building on strengths. The end goal is a renewed parental sense of identity and clarity and a more united and understanding family unit.

I believe that we all exhibit the belief that life can be challenging, and navigating its twists and turns can often leave us feeling adrift in chaos and uncertainty. However, he firmly believes that within this turbulence lies a wellspring of inspiration and resilience unique to our own personal experiences. By reshaping and sharing our narratives, we can find our true path and tap into our untapped potential. My desire is to work together to cultivate resilience and strength, uncovering the best version of you.

With over 2 decades of experience, my practice falls into two main categories. The first is with children, adolescents, and adults who face challenges specifically around anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, which are negatively impacting their functioning at home, school, and/or other activities/environments. The second is in adoption and non-parental event experiences. As an adoption therapist and domestic adoption program director, I have worked with all members of the adoption constellation dealing with pre and post adoption related issues, transracial adoption, late discovery adoptees, as well as NPE/MPE individuals.

I am providing individual & family counseling and group therapy both online & in person. If you are experiencing OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, Relationship and Self Esteem difficulties, I am here to support you! I gained extensive clinical and teaching experiences while helping multicultural families and international college/grad students in the area. While motivating you to gain new tools and skill-sets you need to thrive, I create a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you are empowered and also challenged to increase self awareness to create positive changes in your lives.

Finding the right "fit" for therapy is one of the most important tasks for a client. Therapy that is grounded in a positive therapeutic relationship works. I strive to help build this type of relationship with clients.

AWC does currently have a waitlist, we are working hard to add new clinicians to be able to provide the support that's needed. Life can take us down unexpected paths, and the change that must occur can be difficult, especially to do alone. We believe that every person is unique and experiences the world in their own way and that every person has internal motivation to reach their full potential. We are here to help you navigate your journey in a safe and nurturing environment.

There is no real ‘cure’ for being a human being. But in therapy, there can be support, exploration and development of skills that let us live a more meaningful and manageable life. Perspective of another, more objective person, can help. When you are in the movie, you can't watch it.

With life becoming increasingly demanding, it can feel like we are always battling on a new frontier. We do not, however, have to power through it alone! Whether it’s with relationships, family, jobs, college, new cultural environments or even ourselves, I aim to support my clients with recognizing and managing the emotional impact that life’s torrent of changes has on us all. My therapeutic approach is to create an accepting relationship so sessions can be a comfortable and judgment free zone.

I believe strongly in the trans-formative energy of the human spirit. I believe that with self determination and a knowledgeable, non-judgmental approach one can reach a place of absolute self-fulfillment, genuine inner peace & meaningful healthy connections with others. Clients have told me that I have a natural ability to create an environment that encourages self exploration & a safe space. I work with adult ADHD/ADD; I offer organizational and time management techniques. I specialize in couples work. I also specialize in treating therapist as the client around issues of professional burn out, stress management and trauma.
