Therapists in Boston, MA

I am a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider with over 40 years of experience working with all age groups, both male and female. I treat a variety of problems including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief/loss, work-related issues, low self esteem, relationship issues, women's issues, parenting, eating disorders, substance abuse, anger management, stress, and trauma. Services are provided via a secure Telehealth video platform. This is a wonderful option allowing you to be seen from the privacy of your home, at your convenience, while still receiving the benefits of working with a skilled therapist.

Life’s challenges can often trigger complex emotions. Despite our best coping mechanisms, it can be overwhelming to understand what we are feeling and why. In therapy, I have a collaborative approach where I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences. Acting as a mirror, I provide a safe space where you can reflect upon your thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Through this process, my goal is to increase your self-compassion, resilience, and self-awareness so you can tap into your innate strengths and wisdom.

I invite my clients to engage in a therapeutic relationship centered in non-judgment, authenticity, and collaboration. It takes courage to seek support for one’s personal growth and healing. It is my honor to work with you in cultivating together a safe(r) space to explore, grow, heal, express and transform. I consider this work sacred and my role as one of acceptance, creativity, empathy, and reflection, inviting your active participation in forming goals and intentions for the work we do together.

I believe that healthy, thriving relationships are not only possible but essential to your well-being. And most important is the relationship you have with your self. Together we will discover new ways of navigating life and engaging with yourself and others that support deep and lively connection. We will focus on building bridges, not walls, restoring trust and inviting curiosity. Particular areas of specialization include mindfulness-based stress reduction for depression, panic, and anxiety; interventions to help navigate grief, loss, and life transitions; and innovative couples counseling for all stages of relationship.

Practicing since 1999, I have extensive experience treating PTSD/trauma (sexual abuse/assault, partner violence, etc.) and anxiety with EMDR. I'm an EMDRIA approved consultant (for clinicians), preferring short-term EMDR clients. I have a sexual health certification and am comfortable working with consenting non-monogamy, TGNC, and am kink-aware. We use your strengths to overcome current and historical obstacles, including burnout and life stress. Also, now offering private pay intensive EMDR sessions as my ongoing practice is full. Go to stephaniebairdlmhc.wordpress.com for info. I have a small 2-day a week practice.

I provide identity-affirming therapy to adults with intersecting marginalized identities, including (but not limited to!) folks who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, disabled, kinky, non-monogamous, as well as other marginalized identities. I also enjoy working with those who previously had poor experiences with therapy, first time therapy clients, and those who feel “different.” Cultivating deep appreciation of the ways you have survived, tending to the nervous system for ongoing healing, and with humor as needed, we will construct a narrative that feels affirming and true to you.

Life is one wild ride, isn’t it? I would like you to remember: you are more than enough—just as you are. I’m here to help you get where you want to be. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, negative thoughts, low self-esteem, stress, or life transitions, I’m here to listen and assist. I prioritize a holistic approach to mental health. In our sessions, we will be looking at everything that influences your well-being. This includes your mind, along with your lifestyle, moods, and emotions, as each aspect of our lives is deeply interconnected.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I work to create an environment where you can explore and relate to yourself and your experiences in new ways, process your past and present, build new tools, and enable a reimagined and empowered life. I am an LGBTQIA-affirming, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and social justice-oriented therapist who recognizes the diversity and uniqueness of all people. I am clinically licensed in both NY and MA! In MA, I am currently accepting self-pay and sliding-scale clients.

I am not accept new clients at this time. I work to create a space without judgment where clients can learn, heal and grow. I work with people living with life transitions, trauma, grief/life losses and chronic illness/burns with compassion, while acknowledging the unique experience of each person. Every client I meet comes with their own set of gifts, challenges, supports and dreams. No one tells the same story as another...and I welcome the distinctiveness of each client. Entering therapy can be a scary process. I take great pride in my ability to create a safe space to partner and explored with each client uniquely.

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.

Throughout life, we experience many transitions and challenges that are difficult to navigate. Sometimes, we need support in identifying and removing the barriers that can hold us back. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and client and that we work together as a team to meet your goals. I utilize a strength-based, multicultural-informed and feminist lens to empower my clients to develop insight and bring out their inner resiliencies.

I am a firm believer that everyone has their own unique story, and that we are the experts in our own lives. Anxiety, depression, and maladaptive thinking processes are common manifestations and responses to past trauma. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we explore the impact of this trauma and a range of other issues that may be impeding your ability to live your best life. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe space for curiosity and exploration, and offer tools that highlight and build upon your innate strengths and resources, ultimately allowing you to take actions to better your life.

Seeking therapy is a brave and meaningful step forward! I have been a practicing mental health clinician for the past decade. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and mood disorders.

I believe the therapist's role is to be authentic and compassionate, as well as an active participant in helping you to overcome whatever concern brings you to therapy. In addition to listening to what you are struggling with in the moment, I try to help you find ways to manage the distress and more fully engage in your life. I use a combination of traditional talk therapy and skill-building, primarily drawing from CBT, DBT, and ACT.
