Therapists in Wellesley, MA

Taking New Clients! Are you questioning your gender? Or just looking for a gender affirming therapist to process feeling burnt out from the last few years (who wouldn't!)? Maybe you're noticing difficulty coping with anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD and/or anger. Feeling like it's difficult getting your daily tasks done due to feeling overwhelmed, difficulty focusing, and feeling unable to say no to others.

I am currently accepting adult clients (age 18 and up) for telehealth/virtual only. My goal is to provide clients with a warm, safe and non-judgmental space to identify old patterns, gain insight, and work towards their goals. I see individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and those facing challenging life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, OCD and other related disorders using exposure and response prevention (ERP).

I believe nobody should grapple with crippling anxiety. Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling unwarranted fear, or losing sleep due to worry? There's hope. Anxiety affects millions, but we can navigate toward a brighter tomorrow. I offer personalized sessions for self-confidence, serenity, and joy. Let's embark on this journey together—because you deserve a life free from anxiety's constraints. My commitment to specializing in anxiety and its various forms stems from a recognition of the remarkable efficacy of modern therapeutic approaches.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

Hello! If you are reading this then you have decided that a part of your life has become unmanageable and the need for professional support is important for your wellbeing. You don’t have to feel confused and alone in the whirlwind of daily life. I am here to listen and support you as you navigate these challenges in a safe and confidential space. I believe that self-growth and healing is a journey and I feel honored to be part of it. As chaotic as the world around you may seem, I am here and ready to join you as you process your thoughts, feelings, and come up with tangible goals.

There is not a singular source to our suffering. Turmoil can originate in, and travel through, our bodies, minds, communities, families, and sociopolitical systems. Often, we respond to inner turmoil in two extreme ways. We may excessively worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous or distressing, or say 'it is hopeless,' and check out. Therapy can help us gain access to our grief and pain while developing the wisdom that comes with renewed commitment to our lives.

Would you like to work toward meaningful change? Would you like to understand what's getting in the way of having fulfilling experiences? I offer a comfortable environment where you can get to know yourself better and find ways to understand how to get what you want.

You may be here because your life is feeling pretty messy right now, overwhelming, and hard. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and you don’t know how to get unstuck. Or past experiences and past trauma affect your daily life and your relationships. Or perhaps your relationship is not where you want it to be, and you long for it to be better..but you don’t know what to do next. Would you like to finally feel less overwhelmed and actually experience getting unstuck, so that you can see yourself in a different light? With a clearer perspective, that feels empowering, accepting and self-loving, with more calmness, balance and ease?

CBT really works! Especially when you are working with a trained and experienced therapist. I hold advanced certification in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and use this approach exclusively. Together we will work to improve your insight, mood and motivation. You will learn what influences your mood and decision-making, and how ways of thinking and doing can lead to feeling stuck and hopeless. In addition to CBT, I can teach you powerful skills to improve distress tolerance and emotional regulation. These are skills you will learn to use now, and can rely on in the future.

Do you find yourself wanting more our of your sex life? Perhaps greater intimacy with your partner(s)? I am a sex therapist who works with folx of all genders and sexual orientations. I can treat porn addiction, sex addiction, sexual dysfunctions, and other types of sexual intimacy difficulties. Let's face it, finding a therapist who can connect with can be a daunting process. You want someone who is easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and someone you can trust. I have worked with thousands of clients who are looking to improve their sex life and increase intimacy within their relationships.

I am now providing therapy via telehealth only. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience working with individuals/couples, I often see patients who struggle with unsatisfying family and personal relationships, health problems (e.g. infertility, cancer, chronic pain), grief and loss, and trouble with work and career. Change involves both insight and actual changes in one's behavior. My goal is to create a place where we can work safely to explore the origins of problems and rapidly create positive change in one's life. My approach is warm, supportive, and actively focused on bringing about lasting change.

When you improve your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, you are “on the path” to a happier, healthier life. I’d like to help you along that path. Together, we can explore a range of approaches: whatever works. But – so you know where I’m coming from – in the end, it’s always about relationships. I’d like to meet you.

We all get stuck and need help at times in our lives. Whether you struggle to deal with emotions in your closest relationships at home or at work, you can live a more fulfilling and balanced life. I welcome the opportunity to work with you on this journey. My style is relational. I take the time to get to know you – your strengths and challenges, personal history and present struggles—and work with you to figure out effective paths forward. Throughout my 20 years in the field of mental health, I have seen the long-lasting benefit of addressing my clients’ current emotional distress and the emotional roots.

My name is Jesse and I am a White, non-binary identified licensed social worker and therapist living in Boston, Massachusetts. Before going to graduate school for social work, I got my bachelors degree in documentary film. While I love creating art, I found that my passion lies with working alongside people and supporting them through growth and healing. I feel passionate that everyone has the capacity to change and live within their values, and sometimes, we all just need support along the way!
