Therapists in Concord, MA

You ever wish your brain would just SHUT UP sometimes? Finding it hard to relax because you're always worrying, thinking of worst case scenarios, or replaying the past in your mind? As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I'll help you find relief from repetitive thoughts and overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, or anger. We will work together to identify underlying causes of your distress and help you find more effective ways to cope.

Are you hoping to practice clear and effective communication with others about your wants, needs, or boundaries? Are you thinking about breaking a pattern or stopping a behavior that no longer serves you? Are you searching for a supportive, collaborative space to reflect on your past, to stay grounded in the present, or to explore what you want for your future?

I strongly believe that everyone has the potential to heal from wounds that exist due to life challenges and traumas. I have made it the mission in my career to be a facilitator in the process of healing from within through the life-changing gift of therapy. I am here to guide you through more effective ways of thinking and behaving, and to be more present in the moment. I will introduce techniques for relaxation that allow anxieties to melt away. I will listen and be nonjudgmental and accepting in the process of hearing your voice. I will hear and see the person you authentically and naturally are.

Our early experiences begin to shape our thoughts, feelings, habits, and beliefs about ourselves in the world. When experiences are positive, successful and shared, we learn how to find satisfaction, connection, and support. When early experiences are overwhelming, the content (feelings, thoughts, sensations) can get stuck and replayed alongside later life events, making us feel worse than we think we should. For example, we might feel off-balance, angry, or fearful; we might think we are powerless, alone, unwanted, incapable, or in danger; and we might feel sensations in our body like tension, weakness, pain, or numbness.

I am a warm, playful and compassionate therapist. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space, especially for transgender, non-binary, gender expansive, queer/LGBTQIA+ adolescents and young adults. I use a range of evidence-based treatments to offer new, insightful perspectives without imposing them onto you. I believe strongly in working together at a pace that feels good to you.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of anxiety, unsure of how to break free from its grip? Have you found yourself entangled in the complexities of your relationships, seeking a way to build stronger and more meaningful connections? Or, perhaps, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, have you faced unique challenges that have left you searching for understanding and support? These are the questions that have guided me on my journey as a therapist, as I have made it my mission to help individuals like you find answers and solutions to these complex and deeply personal challenges.

I am the founding executive director/owner of Aeon Counseling & Consulting, a company that empowers individuals and organizations to achieve their missions. I have nurtured my clinical practice independently with Spanish speaking populations for more than a decade and I believe in an approach that is ruthlessly compassionate.

As a service provider for over 20 years, while having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons are learned. As a service provider, more than the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served may be needed. As a QTBIPOC service recipient and clinician, I understand the importance of having access to safe and affirming service spaces. Services that actively understand the power behind intersectionality. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together we are strong.

Do you have daytime weekday availability? In your initial email, please include your insurance & availability. Are you a young adult, living in either MA or NH, who is trying to figure out which way to go as life pulls you in all sorts of directions? If you need support improving your mood, exploring your identity, setting & working towards goals, navigating relationships, and/or building healthy habits, there is a good chance that I can help.

Are you tired of feeling like the weight of depression and anxiety is holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Do you find yourself grappling with the unique challenges that come with being a part of the LGBTQ community in a world that sometimes feels less than accepting? These questions can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, rooted in a social justice framework. This means that our work together isn't just about alleviating symptoms.

**Practice currently full** I offer individual and family therapy, working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed. I believe that each person is the expert of their own experience; I work collaboratively with clients to tailor treatment to best meet their needs and to identify strategies to improve their daily lives. I strive to remain attentive to social identities, dynamics in family systems, and the larger cultural landscape that impact a person's sense of self and shape their experiences.

My approach is engaged, empathic, curious, and deeply human. I strive to create a space that is warm, collaborative, and open. In this space we can explore your challenges, strengths, goals, and lived experience. The therapeutic relationship can help us understand harmful patterns then use new found insights and skills to heal. By navigating these patterns in a supportive space you can feel capable of making positive change.

Have you tried the standard, run-of-the-mill talk therapy before and found that it didn't quite get you as far as you were hoping? Or, have you been nervous about trying therapy and having to figure out what to say and how to say it? Perhaps, then, it's time to try something a little less traditional!

Welcome! Please note: my availability is currently on Thursday mornings by telehealth. I work with a diverse age range of adults through individual therapy. Much of what I do is to help people recognize and accept their emotions, set effective boundaries, build capacity for empathy and perspective-taking, and gain insight surrounding relationship dynamics, self-worth & identity, transitions, and general embodiment of & barriers to living well. My approach often focuses on the influences of systems of power & control in our lives and relationships, which I find to be deeply intertwined with our experiences of mental health.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward.

My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.
