Therapists in Wellesley, MA

Do you want to find a therapist who is attentive, respectful, empathic and effective? Are you struggling with feelings of deep sadness or anxiety? Do you find certain issues in your life overwhelming? I will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to talk comfortably about your problems, challenges, hopes and goals. I enjoy developing warm and trusting relationships with my clients, and believe that you deserve to be happier.

I thoroughly enjoy working with patients across the lifespan to address a wide range of behavioral health concerns (mental health, substance use, and physical health conditions). I have particular specialty in treating physical health conditions through psychological interventions including chronic pain and medically unexplained physical symptoms; however, I support clients with an array of other presenting concerns (Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Stress). My clients are often seeking active support in making meaningful changes in their personal, work, or social lives and relationships.

I help clients who may be experiencing a variety of challenges with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, prenatal/postpartum support, career troubles, identity issues, low self-esteem, school problems and life transitions.

Dr. Sarah E. Hines is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with emerging adults, adolescents, and adults. Her warm and collaborative approach integrates a variety of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, ACT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to meet each individual's needs. Her work involves helping clients to develop a cohesive sense of self and create a life worth living through partnership, curiosity, understanding, and perseverance.

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.

As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth and wits into sessions with my patients. My role is to help people identify patterns that are causing trouble or distress. This process involves not only trying to understand the "root" of the problem, but also looking for ways in which individuals might get stuck in problematic ways of relating to others or thinking about themselves. This can be hard work, but it has the potential to be very rewarding. In my experience, people who engage in therapy often find that old patterns can change, and new choices are able to emerge in their lives.

It takes so much courage to begin the process of change! By utilizing Dialectaical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self-psychology and a relational approach, I believe in a model of full recovery. I also believe that you can't feel good about your self if you don't know who that SELF is. This approach tends to gives you the support necessary to help break the cycles of maladaptive behaviors and live the change you want to see in your life.

Therapy can be either short-term or long-term and it can vary in its purpose for each individual. My practice is a relaxing space for you to achieve whatever it is that you are seeking, be it relief from uncomfortable feelings or a strategy to move on to something that brings more joy. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a mood disorder. In addition, I can assist you in moving through a life transition, such as a divorce or break-up, a job-loss, or becoming a new parent.

Welcome to my practice! I invite you to consider working together to address your specific goals and challenges in a supportive and collaborative way. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults with issues of anxiety, specific phobias, depression, trauma, mood dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions and building coping strategies and resilience. I believe that with challenge comes an opportunity for inner growth and strength. Mindset is a powerful tool that can help you to feel strong, calm, and confident.

Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

Some people seek therapy when a new problem arises or when a problem(s) becomes to distressing and is now interfering in life. For others, therapy is preventive and helps manage the stress of everyday life. I believe that therapy is always beneficial, regardless of the reason or timing. My approach to mental health incorporates full mind-body wellness. My style of therapy is client-focused, collaborative, and insight oriented. You are the expert in your life and we will work together to learn and problem solve, in a supportive environment that encourages positive changes to enhance your life and overall well-being.

Are you feeling completely drained - physically or emotionally? Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you felt well rested and stress-free. Living with stress, anxiety, fertility struggles, postpartum changes, cancer, or insomnia is hard enough but doing it while trying to manage all your other responsibilities can be draining. You may sometimes find yourself worrying about things you never used to even think about. The sadness you feel at times can make it hard to imagine reading a book, going out with friends, cooking a healthy meal, working out, sitting through another school play, or telling your partner about your day.

I personalize treatment to you. Everyone is different and unique, and I believe that my job is to have all the tools at my disposal to provide a treatment that will be tailored to you, who you are, your experiences, and what you're going through. I'm looking forward to working together to achieve the life that you want for yourself.

Are you feeling anxious? While you want to feel confident and have peace of mind, you feel constantly stressed. Despite the desire for contentment, anxiety can be overwhelming. It can affect your social well being, your productivity and even your health. That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of clinical experience, my extensive training as a child and adult psychologist, and my approachable warm style, I’ve guided thousands of clients to an improved quality of life. My passion lies in helping individuals of all ages conquer anxiety and create a healthier lifestyle using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I believe that a collaborative partnership between client and therapist is the foundation for healing and growth. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with anxiety and depression, life transitions, grief, and the effects of stress on their lives. While much of my experience has focused on supporting women in various stages of their lives, I seek to provide an inclusive, nonjudgmental, safe space for all clients to explore their inner lives and external stressors. I bring focus to client strengths, practicing self-compassion, and cultivating joy.

I enjoy working with people using a strength based approach helping to empower them to make the best possible choices for their future. I have many years of experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, family, relationship, parenting and women's issues. The use of cognitive behavioral therapy modified to meet individual needs combined with mindfulness and traditional talk therapy to explore patterns of behaviors, changing negative patterns and increasing coping skills has made a positive impact on my clients.

I am only accepting private pay clients at this time. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, & families of all ages. I believe that my clients can effectively change their life by being an active participant in the therapy process. I provide an empathetic and nurturing environment for all my clients as well as offer bold advice to foster personal growth. I specialize in substance abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, women's issues, grief and loss, anxiety/panic, trauma, and emotional and behavioral issues of children and adolescents.

Do you often feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed? Do you struggle to stay motivated or constantly wrestle with feelings of guilt? Are you struggling to adjust to changes in your career, relationship, your home life or your sense of identity? When you are struggling with these feelings it can be overwhelming and you may not know where to start. It is time to start thinking about finding a therapist, another overwhelming process. When we begin to look for a therapist, we acknowledge that part of ourselves that is ready for change and strong enough to ask for help.
