Attachment-based Therapists in Sudbury, MA

I work with clients facing a variety of situations and challenges including anxiety, depression, strained family relationships, infertility, pre/postpartum, adjusting to college, empty nesting, aging parents, retirement, grief, and loss. Whether you are looking to improve relationships, find balance in your life, decrease anxiety, or address other concerns, therapy is a place to gain skills to navigate these life challenges.

Beginning therapy can be a daunting process and I hope that I can help getting you started as simple as possible. I utilize an empathetic, strength-based approach, with foundations in DBT and CBT. I believe that each person’s journey is unique and successful treatment happens by meeting the client where they are at and taking a collaborative approach to help them reach their goals. I specialize in working with youth, LGBTQI+, and peri and postpartum individuals.

Larry specializes in counseling children of all ages, teens, young adults, adults, and families. Larry effectively helps even the very young child and clients of all ages with their emotional and/or behavioral challenges. His passion, expertise, and genuine interest is so needed, when many of our youth are longing for someone they can talk to, connect with, and feel their voice is understood. Working with the entire family providing family counseling takes a very special ability, as does helping parents navigate challenges, this is Larry's expertise.

I have experience working with Individuals, Couples, and Families of First responders and marginalized communities struggling with the challenges of complex trauma impacting mental health, including Anxiety, Depressive disorders, PTSD, and substance use disorders.

Successful navigation of life's challenges is easier with support. Perhaps you are facing new developmental stages or life transitions, struggling with anxiety or depressed mood, worried about your child or other family member, dealing with trauma or loss, or managing challenging relationships. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults as well as parenting support and family therapy. I create a safe environment for clients to identify goals, take emotional risks and set out on individualized paths toward reaching goals and maximizing full potential. I bring warmth and compassion to each therapeutic encounter and relationship.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, or life changes? I can assist you with developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and utilizing tools to manage your mental health effectively. I aim to work with clients willing to help themselves and open to the therapeutic process. This mindset will allow us to build a positive therapeutic relationship that can bring about positive changes in their lives.

I'm a Psychotherapist in Private Practice for 40+ years, with an enduring capacity to blend psychological/spiritual principles and practices, women's health rights & power, and often help cultivate the willingness to break through thought/behavior patterns to experience real change. We often live our lives as though we're trying to measure up to other's expectations, failing to make choices that are our own. My passion is to help people to break that spell, choosing for themselves how to live the life they are meant to live, not the lives others want them to live. This is a serious intentional and joint process to join.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.

I am interested in working with clients who want to show up to make gradual improvements in their personal and interpersonal relationships and lives. Ideally, my clients come from a variety of backgrounds and carry vastly different experiences; however, all possess a desire for exploring and healing wounds.

The journey to becoming a mother is often described as a time of uncertainty. Many mothers find themselves feeling emotionally unprepared and anxious. My practice supports women through pregnancy, postpartum and the years beyond. While my practice specializes in supporting pregnant and postpartum women, I also offer individual counseling to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and many other areas of need.

With over twenty five years of clinical experience, I help people who struggle with their relationships. Weather you are involved with a complicated parter, struggling in your marriage, dealing with infidelity, co-dependency, or addiction; considering uncoupling, starting over, or grieving the loss of the one you love, I will help you get to the heart of the matter. Then you can heal what you need to heal and make loving and authentic choices for yourself. It IS possible to have happy, healthy, fun, playful and passionate relationships in your life. If that is what your heart desires.I very much look forward to working with you.

Life can be difficult, and we all get stuck at times. I have helped many individuals and couples to face these moments in their lives and open up to the growth and healing that is possible for all of us. I believe that healing happens when we find words where before there were none, when we find hope in places within ourselves we had long ago forsaken, when we allow compassion and connection to touch us when we are feeling most alone and unseen.

My ideal client is an individual facing challenges such as life transitions, stress, anxiety, or depression, who seeks guidance and support in navigating their emotions and relationships. They may be grappling with self-esteem or identity issues and are motivated to better understand their needs and feelings. Their goals include building resilience, enhancing mental well-being, fostering healthy connections with others, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. They are open to have their believes be challenged, self-help, self-reflection, and are committed to personal growth in order to develop.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address common challenges relating to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I approach treatment collaboratively and will work with you to develop a plan to help you and/or your child meet your goals. My approach is integrative, and draws on effective evidence-based treatments - including insight oriented approaches (psychodynamic), skill building approaches (cognitive-behavioral), and other collaborative and developmental interventions. Calm attention, compassion, energy, and creativity are important components of my approach; I recognize that therapy is a considerable commitment, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for our work.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and their families in their homes and in the community. In addition to working with adolescents and their family's I see young adults ages 18-35 virtually. I do my best work with adolescents who “don’t like therapy” or who have struggled to connect or engage with other therapists in the past. This happens for lots of reasons–but one major one is that sometimes sitting in an office staring at one another just feels too threatening.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have a passion for helping individuals reach their maximum potential and healthiest state, taking into account their current as well as past experiences. I feel passionate about working with children and adults with chronic illness as well as with those individuals dealing with loss and bereavement. I also believe strongly in the work that can be accomplished with individuals who have experienced a recent or past trauma and believe strongly in the individual's ability to achieve a healthy state with proper holistic healthcare.

Sometimes we're not our "best selves." We change in ways we're not happy about, or, don't change in ways we'd like to. We feel too sad, disoriented, mad, anxious, numb, ashamed; we have one too many, too often. Job performance can suffer, relationships can wobble, getting to sleep (or out of bed) can become a chore. Life can fade in color, or, become too colorful. Together you and I can find a flashlight for your dark corners, and a negotiated, generative space from which to address painful, sometimes scary and/or frustrating situations and feelings.

For nearly four decades, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from hundreds of individuals, couples and families as they have wrestled with the challenges of their lives. Every person's story and circumstances are unique but if someone is helped by the work we do together, it is generally because we form a relationship of trust and connection. My decades of work with top tier professionals at Harvard Business School, has given me a deep appreciation of the interplay between professional and personal lives. My own commitment to lifelong learning enables me to bring state of the art care to my clients.
