Therapists in Housatonic, MA

I work with clients from 6 to 90 years old who are looking to learn to live their life in a healthy manner, who wants to improve the quality of their relationships in a personal and Laboral life. This include kids, adolescents, young adults, and adults, married or single, living alone or in a family setting.

I have several specialities that make my brand of therapy unique. I have 12 years experience helping people with low self worth, identity issues, anxiety and depression. I specialize in helping Men reclaim their identity and function more effectively in their lives and relationships. I am expert at working with couples to strengthen their relationships and gain more intimacy in their lives. I offer a direct and interactive therapeutic style that does not include sitting back and only listening. We work together to help you to take action and move beyond feeling stuck.

Accepting new clients for spring 2024. I am a licensed counselor who provides therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I have over 25 years experience with a range of issues concerning relationships, anxiety, life transitions, dating, stress, infidelity, betrayal trauma, sexuality, school admissions, LGBTQ issues, co-dependency, divorce, elder issues, work, and education. I provide a safe place to share concerns, develop coping strategies, and to discover inner resources that we may not have known were there. The "Goodness of Fit" between client and therapist, and the treatment modality is important to initiate results.

Are you a successful, gifted adult who has all the boxes checked yet still wonders, "Is there more to life?" Have you been feeling like you need to make a change but you're not quite sure where or how to start? It can be hard to trust that there's someone out there who could really "get" you and help you create the dream life you truly desire. Flourishing is the concept of living life with purpose, meaning, connection, and vibrant well-being. You may not be struggling with mental illness, per se, but you may be languishing. And that can feel particularly frustrating because it just feels like living in the "blah" zone day after day.

We are finally coming off a wait list! We have a high rate of success with a low turn over of clients. Spots will fill up fast - contact us today! We are a GROUP PRIVATE PRACTICE focused on mental health or substance use COACHING and COUNSELING support for adults and teens. Our PROVIDERS have extensive experience and are independently LICENSED to practice or in process be under full apprenticeship. Our goal is to offer education and guidance to INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, and FAMILIES dealing with a variety of issues that affect their MENTAL HEALTH, BALANCE, and WELL-BEING.

Relationship issues, work/life stress, minor substance-related disturbances, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, anger management, and career counseling are a few issues I help resolve with my clients. Emotional disturbance (anxiety, depression, confusion, etc) manifests when you fail to confidently and honestly live your life with meaningful purpose and positive action. Low esteem, lack of confidence, little motivation, and chronic worry all negatively impact your relationship to self and others creating symptoms that can spiral downward. We will arrest potential spiral and redirect its energy upward toward wellness.

The ideal client is someone willing to explore and further understand the current or historical issues creating barriers or concerns impacting current life. Goals would include short and long term goals to bring immediate and lasting relief; insight; behavioral and cognitive enhancement. There may be individuals who are eager to alter behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. There is a variety of methods to accomplish these goals that can be tailored specifically to the preferences of the client.

Welcome to my site. I hope I can answer your questions so that you can make the best decision for choosing a therapist. Do you get in your own way that keeps you from living more fully & effectively? Do you struggle with trauma; relationship difficulties; feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, insecure, angry; transitions, loss, unresolved grief? Do you find yourself reacting to or doing things that you know are not healthy or helpful for you, your relationships or work? Does your past limit or complicate your present? Do you have challenging experiences as an immigrant or person of color you want help with?

I currently work with only adults and couples. I work with clients who need to work on symptoms such as anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, academic problems, anger management, bereavement and grief issues, communication problems with family members and partners, self-esteem, separation and divorce, sleep disturbance, work stress, and much more. I use Cognitive behavioral therapy, systems approach, relaxation, and guided imagery. I also provide assertiveness training. I also use Clinical Hypnosis for weight loss, smoke cessation, nail biting, and other behavioral changes. I also do Christian counseling with focus on spirituality.

Welcome to my practice. The fact that you are here is a testament to your desire for a better future full of healing and growth. I am acutely aware of how difficult this first step can be, and I am here to support you on your journey. I firmly believe that establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is vital in helping my clients strive for the better. To that end, I always aim to provide a safe, open and non-judgemental atmosphere where my clients can comfortably explore the most intimate details of their lives.

Are you seeking support for increased self-insight and a more purposeful focus on wellbeing in your own mind and heart and relationships? I have trained in several therapeutic modalities throughout my professional life, including person-centered, gestalt, CBT, psychodynamic, narrative, collaborative and organizational and family systems approaches. In the therapy space, my clients explore clarifying their own beliefs, managing their emotional reactions in relationships, using their voices more effectively in their various roles, and balancing role demands of family, work, and social contexts which we often juggle simultaneously.
