Therapists in East Bridgewater, MA

I work with clients (individuals, couples and families) who experience relationship, self-esteem, or work related issues due to substance use such as alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs. Clients are ready to understand the underlying causes of substance use, identify triggers, coping skills and relapse prevention plans. Recovery is an ongoing process, and my role is to help others understand themselves and actualize their potential. I want clients to understanding that support is available to assist in their time of need and beyond.

Many of my patients are recovering from addictions of various sorts. Many of them, as well as other patients, have mood disorders (anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder). I also work with individuals and families struggling with problems in work and career, marriage and similar relationships, and what are often described as existential or spiritual crises--the lack of a sense of meaning and purpose in life. I involve families in therapy when possible--people don't live and learn as isolated individuals.

Over 37 years in continuous Recovery from addiction offering support , understanding, education, and facilitation of the coping skills , recovering strategies and healing path you choose.

Are you struggling with fear, sadness, loneliness and/or relational difficulties? Do you feel stuck, lost or aimless and aren't sure how to break free?

I believe you already have what you need inside you and my goal is to help you access that so that you can build a meaningful, connected and joyful life.

I welcome your courage in sharing your challenges with me and believe that we can work together using evidence-based therapy to create change. Our relationship matters to me and I will check in with you frequently about our work. I bring respect, empathy, humor, and authenticity (I'm a real person!) to the therapy room. I often work with OCD, anxiety, substance use, shame, perfectionism, body image, eating issues, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues and parenting. I am an experienced IFS and AEDP therapist. I also use mindfulness, ACT, CBT and DBT heavily in my practice. I am a certified and experienced couples' therapist.

I am a LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with 13 years of experience working with adults with depression, anxiety, codependency, relationship issues, and PTSD. I have many years of experience working with adults who come from families with substance abuse issues. I enjoy working with women who are having struggles around parenting and relationships. I also worked with children and families for years. I was the supervisor of a foster family agency. Due to this I am well versed in issues around parenting, adoption and children who have experienced foster care.

If you are looking for a warm, welcoming place to discuss any issue, thought, or problem you've been dealing with without judgment or closed-mindedness, then I could be a great fit for you! I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I'm licensed as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts. I have a very friendly, laid-back personality and am always eager to help and use a lot of humor in my general approach; however, I am also very comfortable working through serious and difficult subjects in a calm, supportive way. I'm a very happy, positive person and can always find a silver lining in almost any situation!

Currently full with a waitlist; we are running some therapy groups now for those interested. Please feel free to reach out for a consult to join the waitlist or a group! I work with clients who are feeling that they are ready to get well, even if they do not know what that looks like, or even if its possible. I aim to help those who are tired of being told they need to wait to "deal with trauma". Frequently my clients tell me they have figured out how to get through the day, but they are not living their best life.

Over the course of my career as a clinical social worker, I have focused my work on providing LGBTQI-affirming psychotherapy to individuals who have experienced trauma, in its many interpersonal and systemic forms. As a white queer nonbinary femme therapist, I continue to educate myself on the privileges and power dynamics inherent in my own social position in relation to my clients, and I openly work from an anti-oppression framework.

Change is hard. And change within ourselves is even harder. Therapy can help with finding answers. It can be a place to explore barriers and challenges to living fully into the life you want. Therapy can help with identifying patterns in our lives, both good ones and bad, with recognizing our strengths, and with where we struggle. Therapy can be a place where we can find our way back to who we really are, supporting our hopes, dreams, values and strengths in living into our lives fully.

Are you weary of traditional methods of therapy? Whereas CBT, DBT, and other methods make you do homework and change your thoughts for your happiness, my methods are more interesting, imaginative, and highly personalized... and I use humor! We wont fight our suffering, we'll work with it, and transform it. Got anxiety, communication issues, existential dread (I mean, with the world being as it is, how can we not?), or a host of other things that cause you suffering? With my support you can catch a wave and surf into your best self. What's in it for you? A healing relationship with one of the most supportive people out here!

I believe that your own creative process is the arena for greater self-awareness. I am transparent and authentic in my responses and find this to be the cornerstone of my practice. I currently provide individual and group therapy. My work is rooted in body centered psychotherapy, bridging support networks specifically between clients and families, building skills for greater coping and supporting individuals on their journey towards personal growth.

I have had the privilege of working as a therapist for over 25 years, focusing on Cognitive Therapy with a deep understanding of Insight Meditation and MBSR. My training at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia has equipped me with effective strategies utilized to maximize the benefits of CBT for my clients. I have training extensive training in Internal Family Systems. Sometimes short-term therapy may be beneficial, and Solution-Based Therapies can be helpful in solving a personal or professional crisis. I specialize in working with individuals, from young adults to older adults as well as couples therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in whole-person health and the science of behavior change. I specialize in helping individuals manage stress/anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, and addictive or otherwise problematic behaviors.

In addition, I have specialized training in couples therapy for partners interested in strengthening their relationships through improved communication, trust, and connection.

I am a radically person-centered, trauma-informed, mind-body behavioral health practitioner with 12 yrs experience in the human services field. I provide a welcoming, supportive, non-judgmental space to freely vent & process concerns, while offering practical tools & strategies to manage/alleviate symptoms. I regard my clients to be the ultimate authorities/experts of their own lives & liken my role as therapist to a “fellow traveler”, joining you wherever you’re at with compassion, acceptance & authenticity. I'll help you overcome obstacles to accessing the resources you already possess & develop those that are yet to come forth.

We all have patterns, or habits, in the way in which we relate with ourselves, others, the world. Some of these patterns serve us well, and some of them don't; some of them served us well at some point in our lives, and they no longer do. My approach seeks to balance the compassion to be with and accept where you are now, with the courage to step in a new direction, to create new ways of relating with yourself and the world. I have experience working with children, families and adults, with specific focuses on anxiety and OCD, trauma, depression, oppositional behavior and family relationships, transitions, and substance abuse.

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.
