Therapists in Massachusetts

I provide psychological/ neuropsychological testing, psychotherapy, and hypnosis (medical and clinical).

If you need testing or assessment, I can put together a specific testing battery to meet your assessment needs. I specialize in ADHD differential diagnoses, Autism Spectrum Disorder differential diagnosis, as well as personality testing for many other differential diagnoses. I see ages 16 and up.

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.

Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. All inquiries referrals scheduling by phone: please call 508.885.3861. Repeat your calls (on the hour) to reach me quickest in person. No written messages! No computer inquiries!

Accepting new patients. Holistic Psychiatry for women and men. When clients first seek care, they are often experiencing anxiety, despair, depression, mood swings, and feel like their life is falling apart. Despite attempts to move forward, many clients feel stuck. Traditional methods have simply not worked. The clients who come to Pura Vida Psychiatry want more. They want to move their lives in a better direction and have the determination it takes to find a better way.

Are you dealing with anxiety, sadness, shame, grief, trauma or stuff you really want to let go of in your life? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, struggling with confidence and self-criticism? Pain may show up as feeling numb or angry, withdrawing from school or work, family and friends. Hiding the stress doesn't help you feel better. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on helping you deal with pain from the past and deal with present challenges with greater ease and confidence. If you'd like to feel better about yourself and your life, I can help you get there.

Do you find yourself unfulfilled in your relationships? Is it uncomfortable for you to express your own feelings? You’re not alone. When we grow up in homes where we had to be attuned to the moods of others, we end up learning to prioritize the comfort of other people over our own. Because of this caretaking skill we learned, we may find ourselves in other caretaking roles in our life- our partners, our jobs. If we are not in harmony with our own needs, this role can lead to perpetual exhaustion, low mood, irritability, anxiety and burn out.

Healing is always possible...for you, for your relationships, and ultimately for your life. With 19 years of experience and extensive training in evidence-based treatment modalities such as EMDR, attachment therapy, and somatics, my approach utilizes curiosity, creativity, a sense of humor, self-disclosure and most importantly compassion to help you discover these same resources within yourself and reveal your own unique path to healing and life's purpose.

**TELEHEALTH OFFERED!** With warmth, kindness and seriousness, we work with children, adults, couples and adolescents to manage the often profound stresses of marriage/relationships, work/school and identity.

I work extensively with mindfulness and guided meditation as a tools for greater self-knowledge and healing. Reactivity to the stressors of life is often based on limiting negative beliefs about self, others, and life itself. We unknowingly pick up such ideas in childhood and hold them as gospel truths, when actually they are lies that keep us stuck. The focus of therapy is to see beyond these false ideas, to loosen the energetic blocks that they cause, and to be free to live the truth of who you really are--beyond your anxiety, depression, compulsive thoughts, or habits. Change is much more possible than you may think!
