Therapists in Sunderland, MA

The quest to live authentically is challenging but ultimately transformative. With hard work and supportive professional guidance, clients have the opportunity to examine persistent, troubling patterns without judgment or shame, and in doing so create space for growth and possibility. I work with clients age 6 to end of life -- individuals, partners, and families -- to explore individual and relational challenges that may lead to feeling depressed, anxious, or "stuck." I offer support with life transitions, including separation and divorce. My work is LGBTQ+ affirmative, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, confidential.

I work with individuals across the adult life span, couples/folks in relationships, and families who are looking to feel more connected to themselves and others, navigate distress and conflict, and build more meaningful relationships and lives. My clients encompass the spectrum of gender and sexuality identities and live within a variety of relationship structures - monogamous, polyamorous, and non-monogamous. I collaborate with my clients to explore your strengths, needs, goals, history, and where you want to be in your life and relationships.

Psychodynamic therapy/depth work with adults.

I live and come to psychology with a consciousness of interpersonal, structural and institutional oppression that many of us experience throughout our lives. You will find compassion and understanding at the cross-sections of your suffering and your identities. Whether it is anxiety, depression, social/community difficulties, I can help explore these elements so that you can harness hope, presence, and restoration.

Therapy produces its own unique ecosystem. In the right collaboration, essential growth-oriented risks can be taken, which often results in sustainable transformation. Various tools we develop to emotionally survive our experiences in formative years can become automatic interpersonal response systems we operate from long after they serve us. This can impact the relationship we have with self and others. I strive to bring the utmost compassion and insight into the room while we work together to figure out how one's way of being in the world can become more aligned with concerns of the present circumstance.

Hi! I am passionate about working from a strengths based perspective with adults who are inspired to create a life filled with meaning, clarity, confidence, groundedness and joy.

I specialize in helping parents heal any wound that is impacting their own ability to be the best parents they can be. These wounds could be due to your own childhood experiences, postpartum depression, birth trauma, relationship difficulties with partners or co-parents, pregnancy and infant loss, and health issues for yourself or your child. Maybe you are not able to identify a wound that requires healing; instead you recognize that you are constantly feeling overwhelmed by parenting and other responsibilities and you would like help sorting through mental and emotional clutter to improve your parenting ability.

My clients are typically “high achievers,” parentified children or people pleasers who seek to know themselves more deeply. I specialize in working with disordered eating, life transitions, anxiety and depression. Our work together offers a space to bring into more conscious awareness, unacknowledged pain, longings and barriers to substantive nourishment of self. When the remnants of our past emerge in our present, it can feel disorienting and painful. I offer curiosity, warmth and empathy towards these emergent experiences and accompany you in deepening your self-understanding.

Humans are wacky, beautiful, awesome, creative, remarkable beings. When we have anchors within and outside of ourselves for safety, we can explore possibilities, feel organized and competent, and speak our minds and hearts. There are many forces that can inhibit our vitality. Sometimes, it can be hard to access feelings of curiosity, interest, motivation, connection, or being ourselves. But under the layers of what gets in our way, each of us is already here, already whole.

I ‘ve worked with people trying to reignite their creativity, those seeking relief from panic attacks, depression or the impact of past trauma on present experience. those working with challenges in relationships & families, dealing with racial trauma or identity or navigating institutions & workplaces.

I believe that every person makes sense in context. You might wonder why you often feel anxious, unfulfilled, or discontent. You might be curious about the patterns in your relationships or your reactions to others or events. You may wish to explore the ways you feel simultaneously connected and disconnected from yourself or the world. I'd love to work with you to help cultivate a curious stance to better understand yourself in the fuller context of your life. We will work together to expand your feelings of aliveness and acceptance while also helping you to more flexibly express needs, manage emotions, and deepen relationships.

Psychological suffering exists on different levels and manifests in different ways, in psyche, body, interpersonally, socially, both consciously and unconsciously. Thankfully, there are many ways to address psychological struggle, ranging from the exploration of non-conscious intra-psychic and interpersonal dynamics underlying "symptoms" to the exploration of ways that we are alienated from community and meaningful action in community. My work is social justice-informed and incorporates an understanding of how larger socio-political systems impact our lives. Facilitating empowerment is key in my work.

Hi, I’m Emma. I'm a queer, gender-affirming, poly-inclusive therapist. I’ve been the trusted guide for many people looking to make meaningful change in their life, and I’d love to help you too.

You can look to me for help discovering what motivates you, what will help you grow, what invisible scripts and stories have been holding you back and what identity feels most true. We will work together on the hard questions, the uncomfortable feelings, the painful narratives.

Under the pressures of today’s world, achieving life satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing can feel more difficult than ever. My goal is to help clients flourish in the face of life’s challenges. I am skilled in helping clients work through stress, anxiety, life adjustment issues, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

Working with LGBTQ+ clients, college students, and young professionals is especially rewarding to me.

I support couples in understanding negative patterns of relating and developing more adaptive coping strategies to manage life's stressors.
