Attachment-based Therapists in Townsend, MA

Co-Founder of Maxant & Curtis Mental Health. Finding a therapist is about the "match" as much as about the skill and experience of the clinician. I find that clients who feel the "match" with my work are looking for a practical dialogue about active problem solving, as well as feelings of trust and connection. The journey to find a matching therapist can be frustrating, and I work with clients to identify that early in the process. In therapy, some of our most difficult thoughts and feelings need a safe and supportive place to be heard, and ensuring that our work will be safe and respectful to your needs is goal number one.

Currently offering couples counseling sessions. Please inquire if interested. Welcome! My name is Tanya Farrar Brooks and I am a licensed mental health counselor who began her own therapeutic journey while very much entrenched in an unhealthy relationship.
