Therapists in South Boston, MA

If you have come to this page, chances are you want to change. You may be experiencing a major life change in your health, relationships, or work. This may be causing overwhelming anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. You may be struggling to figure out how to navigate this stressor effectively, and feeling confused or alone. Therapy can help you understand the challenges you face and help you create goals that align with your values. Working with a professional can help you learn and apply practical coping strategies to manage stress better and live according to what matters most to you. You are here to try something new.

By interweaving different types of therapy, we collaborate towards your goals in a way that's effective and respectful of your time, energy and money. Each session can be useful - I track this carefully by asking for feedback and by giving choices on how we work together. The time in-between sessions also is used - through practice 'homework' we choose individually, as a couple or as a family, or through observation/thinking. This helps us to identify what helps you to change or restrains you from change - we can then work together from an attitude of curiosity rather than "shoulds".

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been treating adolescents, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years. I am trained in a wide variety of techniques that are designed to produce measurable and meaningful results. I also work with families and couples to help improve or repair relationships. My approach is positive, empathic, and solution-focused. Therapy results should not be a mystery - it should be clear that it works as you feel better, reach goals, and set new ones.

As a social worker, I bring a strengths-based approach enveloped in a systems lens and I view my work with clients as a collaboration. I enjoy helping people work through a variety of transitions and challenges of life as well as to help facilitate a deeper connection within themselves and with others.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals. I take a strength based approach. I incorporate the following approaches into our work together: solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment based therapy, trauma-informed therapy and EMDR.

Psalms 121 "I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." I have worked with children, preteens, and families in Massachusetts and Northern California in the United States, serving populations facing developmental issues, emotional disturbance, and relational conflicts in the past two decades. My bilingual (Chinese & English) psychotherapeutic approach integrates theories and therapies, e.g., attachment-based, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal neurobiology, etc., and Christianity to enhance spiritual and emotional health.

Daytime Mon-Tue sessions available now! Welcome to Whole Family Health. I believe that the entire family needs support when something is off balance. I recognize that everyone has their own unique needs and way of operating in the world. Sometimes this doesn't fit the world around us; sometimes that means helping to change the individual and sometimes that means helping to change the world. I hope to be able to sit down and listen to your experience and your needs. We all build our families with hopes and dreams for how we imagine life will be. Sometimes this doesn't go exactly as we planned.

I've been a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) for almost twenty years. I work with individuals, couples, and families out of the basement office of my home in Arlington, MA. My most basic therapeutic approach is that everyone is born good and whole. But, life happens and it sends us difficulties that we can’t always understand or handle. These difficulties can happen as children, adolescents, adults, in school, home, work, and in our marriages. Sometimes these problematic life experiences can affect our core beliefs negatively and/or overwhelm our abilities to cope.

I am a compassionate, warm, and collaborative psychotherapist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals and families who struggle with a variety of difficulties. My areas of clinical interest include, but are not limited to: working with at-risk youth; those who have experienced trauma; adults managing difficult relationships; those who want to gain more clarity and awareness of their own challenges; and clients experiencing anxiety, depression, identity development issues, sexual orientation exploration, relationship challenges, self-esteem difficulties, and behavioral problems.

People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My passion is to help people find this light, to help heal from their past trauma and move forward. I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.

Looking to enrich relationships - with family, friends, or yourself, while not losing sight of your career? As a professional, juggling personal connections and career ambitions can be a tightrope walk. Mindlessly scrolling or over-indulging are band-aids, not cures. Imagine nurturing relationships that uplift you, being present in cherished moments, and striking a harmony between ambition and well-being. Ready to embrace a more fulfilled, balanced life? Let’s take the first step together.

My practice provides safe and supportive environment to reduce pressure, discomfort, fear of judgment creating an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and validation. This setting allows to speak openly about physical, emotional, and psychological concerns, to freely express doubts, believes, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, and concepts. I encourage, but not pressure, exploring difficult situations, traumatic events, defense mechanisms, malfunctioning schema, identifying patterns, values, beliefs, connections between past and present; building on strengths to overcome challenges, realize potential and find meaning.

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.
