Hello. I offer 25 years experience working collaboratively with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and addiction problems (please have at least 30 days clean and involved in recovery.) Therapy provided is tailored to client needs. Some clients benefit from structure, whereas others benefit more from a safe, supportive place to process problems with a therapist trained as an effective, reflective, listener. I prefer working with older teens and adults. Specialized training in trauma and PTSD.

Need help dealing with some of life's challenges? Taking that first step to call can be the hardest but the most rewarding in the end.

I am a licensed Mental Health Clinician in Massachusetts with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients in many diverse areas, including stress, depression, anxiety, coping with addictions, dual diagnosis, trauma/abuse, PTSD, personality disorders, behavioral issues, and anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to opening yourself up to support and seeking positive change and happiness takes courage. I am here to guide you in that process!

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.

We've all been there. Maybe we feel stuck in a vicious cycle. Some of us are struggling with a pattern of unstable relationships. Maybe we have lost a loved one and need support. Maybe you're feeling sad, hopeless or quick to anger. Perhaps you've tried to quit a substance that is causing you more harm than good and have been unsuccessful.

Making life changes or healing from different types of pain can be incredibly difficult, and I am here to help guide you through. My goal is to provide each and every one of my clients with a safe and supportive environment where they can explore any issues that are holding them back from living a better life. Let's get you started on the path to better living.

Each moment as you journey through life, a part of you is trying to help you move forward. Together we will work to empower that part of you to move you forward and live a healthy, mentally balanced life. For over 30 years I have specialized in treating individuals and families who are experiencing underlying anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress, addictions and difficulties with anger/rage.

I especially love helping teens/ young adults (and their parents) with developing their independence.

Starting is often the hardest part. We all want to have someone listen to us; someone to understand where we have been, where we want to go & help us find a way to get there. No judgement here, just honest conversation to help you help yourself. Sometimes life takes alternate paths & we could all use a little GPS from time to time. I'm a firm believer that people need people and that we are all in this life together. Let's explore ways to get you to, or back to, the version of yourself that you want to be. Something or someone has driven you to Psychology Today. You don't have to continue feeling this way.

I am a licensed (LMHC and LADC1) an experienced bicultural /bilingual behavioral health counselor (Spanish/English) with over 30 years of experience serving the multicultural and Latino community in the North Shore area.

I am currently working with Catholic Charities as a bicultural clinician.

Dr. Stevens completed his internship in Clinical Psychology at the University of Rochester Counseling Center in 2010, where he worked with college students using relational based models of therapy, and rotated at the Psychiatric Emergency Department. Dr. Stevens then completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 2011 at the W.G. Hefner Veterans Affairs Medical Center, in Medical Informatics. Dr. Stevens' clinical work consisted of neuropsychological evaluations, along with individual and group psychotherapy with veterans. At the Salisbury VAMC Dr. Stevens completed research involving the anterior cingulate cortex, a unique region of the brain located between the prefrontal cortex and limbic system brain areas.

I've been in private practice for 34 years. I've had extensive training in both theoretical and didactic psychotherapy. An important part of my training was my own work and research in understanding myself and my marriage and other important relationships. This is why I think I am so confident at being both a couples therapist and an individual therapist. I believe this is primarily an educational process or a re-educational process.
