Therapists in Massachusetts

My treatment approach is integrative and personalized to my clients’ needs, focused on building a foundation of trust. I work with clients to identify underlying roots of problems and elicit existing and new strengths and resources. I prefer a holistic approach to treatment which, while based in a psychodynamic framework, draws from my specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, attachment based, trauma-informed and mindfulness modalities. I work with adults ranging from young adulthood through end of life, using a culturally-sensitive approach.

Offering Parenting Consultations ONLY (sorry, I am not taking on new, individual clients). For 15 years, I've specialized in working with kids and their families, but I rarely have openings and often have to turn away parents who need help. I know how frustrating it is for parents to find therapists with openings, and with this in mind, I now am offering a series of three consultation sessions for parents to gain further insight into the roots of what their child is experiencing, and how parents can help. While my consultations are not a replacement for therapy, parents have said our meetings are extremely helpful.

My interest is in helping individuals cope with the adversities in their lives. I have been inspired by the many individuals I worked with who have faced enormous challenges and still were able to lead satisfying lives. They have developed effective strategies for dealing with adversity, for coming to terms with setback in a mature and realistic way, for enjoying life despite difficulties. I use a number of therapies, including the traditional ones as well as mindfulness and eastern philosophy, to help individuals more skillfully deal with adversity.

I am currently accepting clients for groups. The group is for adults who have (or may have) experienced trauma during childhood and are considering any of the following questions: Even though I have difficult childhood memories, was it really that bad? Was it right how my parents treated me (what they did and/or did not do)? Was it right what they led me to believe about myself, about our family, and about how to interact in relationships? Did my childhood experience leave me with emotional and relational difficulties that have significant negative consequences in my present life?

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.

Hi! My name is Heather and I am a Licensed Social Worker from Massachusetts.

Life provides us with what we can handle. However, it never stated that we had to do it alone. I believe that during some of those trying times, having someone to talk to and work through life's stressors allows us to grow and reach our full potential. Sometimes life becomes difficult to manage and having a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and emotions authentically can be the key to gaining a deeper understanding of ways to manage stress from the minor to the significant. I have experience in various settings such as inpatient, non-profit agencies, corrections, and schools.

Is it difficult facing your day? Does stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use or family discord interfere with your well-being? Does the thought of having to make changes in your life feel overwhelming? Change is difficult to think about, however, without positive change...nothing will change. Do you want to learn ways to think, understand and cope with the situations in your life in a way that can allow you to feel productive and have a more positive outlook on life?

As a person with lived experiences from within and outside the United States, I know the joys, sorrows and pleasures of living with, and beyond, preconceived notions of who you “should” be. You will find me to be a warm, caring and highly skilled companion on your journey in expressing your human fears, concerns, and hopes.

I understand that people seek out therapy often times looking for solutions to issues impacting their daily lives. My therapeutic approach is nurturing, interactive, strength-based and solution-focused. Using empathy, compassion, humor, and an objective perspective, I collaborate with clients to develop an effective approach to their current life challenges as well as addressing long standing personal, familial, and relationship concerns. I work to assist clients in accessing their own unique strengths and resources to create an attainable, ongoing plan to reduce their stress and life struggles.

My approach uses various modalities that are both, structured, and unstructured, depending on the needs of those I'm serving. Everyone deserves to have an opportunity to feel relief, joy, grounding, and security. This looks different for all, and I'm happy to adapt as needed while supporting in reaching the ultimate goals outlined. I offer the most experience with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship issues, ADHD, and addiction.

Psychotherapy: My primary focus, as your therapist, is to make you feel comfortable, validated and listened to.
