Buddhist Therapists in Ware, MA

Are you feeling stuck, isolated, or just overwhelmed by life? You are here, so you have already taken the first important step. I welcome the opportunity to help you make the right adjustments to improve your quality of life. With a non-judgmental approach, I will listen and guide you toward accessing your internal strengths, to help weather your life's storm. Let's work together to create a path that will lead you to greater self-awareness and a better you.

Welcome to New Path Counseling! We are accepting new clients. We have in-office and Telehealth appointment availabilities. You can schedule your appointment by clicking on our website link. We have clinicians who are licensed in the state of MA, CT, and RI. Life is full of challenges and unpredictable, we can’t always mitigate or control these; the key is to be aware of our maladaptive behaviors and build strength by enhancing our awareness and creating a new path for ourselves, family, and/or couple. We understand that not everyone can heal and cope the same way.

Welcome to our practice! Our passion is helping others improve the quality of their lives. We have specialized training to help folks suffering from PTSD, as well as depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and grief/loss. Clients describe us as compassionate, nonjudgmental, gentle, and direct.

If you are looking for a warm, welcoming place to discuss any issue, thought, or problem you've been dealing with without judgment or closed-mindedness, then I could be a great fit for you! I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I'm licensed as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts. I have a very friendly, laid-back personality and am always eager to help and use a lot of humor in my general approach; however, I am also very comfortable working through serious and difficult subjects in a calm, supportive way. I'm a very happy, positive person and can always find a silver lining in almost any situation!

I work with adults, adolescents and children. I am especially interested in helping men improve their communication skills in intimate relationships, and, in parenting; fostering their ability to identify and articulate their feelings, and, being more empathic of the other person.

My ideal clients are interested in improving their self awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I treat any of the following issues: depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, relationship issues, sexual behaviors, trauma, domestic violence, low self-esteem, eating disorders, attention deficit difficulties, autism, schizophrenia, stress management, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, child behavior and attitude problems, school behavior, low motivation, weight loss, quitting smoking, grief and loss of a loved one, divorce, parenting issues, co-dependency, pain management, social skills development, bi-polar disorder, abusive family situations, work problems, shame/inappropriate guilt, and negative thinking but treat many more issues.

In our painful and disorienting times, it is all too easy to feel we are losing touch with who we are and what gives meaning to our lives. Powerful forces around and within us contribute to overwhelm, lostness, shame, and stuckness in repetitive patterns. I aspire to help those who consult me move beyond these patterns, as well as imagine and manifest possibilities for different ways of being in the world.

Are you feeling hesitant, worried, shut down, or withdrawn? Or perhaps a little low, not quite yourself, & trying to figure out what to do? Are old patterns you've used to manage no longer working? Perhaps I can help. Using a combination of mindful awareness, somatic (body)/nervous system regulation work & Internal Family Systems/parts work, we can explore the different aspects of ourselves & start to move towards the changes we'd like to see. I offer in person services in Brooklyn, NY or worldwide via Zoom video. I offer a free brief phone or video consult to see if we're a good fit: feel free to book yours at www.maximeclarity.com

Openings available for Individuals. Welcome. With warmth, clarity and compassion, I offer help to people suffering from "Wounds of the Heart and Mind": Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, neglect and relationship issues, in both groups and individual. With many years experience in both traditional and mind/body approaches, I integrate Relational Attachment work, Buddhist psychology, Childhood Trauma healing groups and energy medicine practices . I believe that along with real pain and suffering, everyone has a potential healthy Self; often obscured or undeveloped. We can build, hold and nurture that together.

Somatic Parts and Attachment therapy and Buddhist Contemplative Psychology: Are you struggling with feeling trust in yourself, trust in others and the world? Do you long to feel connected to your inner child; embodied, peaceful, creative, and securely attached to others and to nature? Are you seeking to address adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and the stresses of our changing world, through somatic, embodied, creative contemplation rather than talk therapy? I offer 15 years of experience in embodied contemplative counseling, as well as creative activism for personal growth and empowerment.

You’re looking for relief and real change. It may appear like you have it all together, but on the inside you feel doubtful, burdened, unfulfilled, and stressed. Maybe you’re caught between different cultures, struggling with your identity and finding your place in the world. You might be carrying the trauma of your past or family history and seeing the impacts at work, home, and in your body and relationships. Maybe you're deeply worried about the state of the world and don't know how to move forward meaningfully. Even in your free time, you may find it difficult to truly relax and rest, your sense of pleasure and purpose depleted.

For many individuals a spiritual and holistic based approach can provide nurturance, wisdom, and depth as one navigates life's challenges. In my counseling and coaching practice I help you identify your essential self, and from that center to work through the questions and obstacles you face in manifesting the fullness of your life calling. With insight and kindness we work together to find greater clarity and empowerment in realizing your dreams.

I am a radically person-centered, trauma-informed, mind-body behavioral health practitioner with 12 yrs experience in the human services field. I provide a welcoming, supportive, non-judgmental space to freely vent & process concerns, while offering practical tools & strategies to manage/alleviate symptoms. I regard my clients to be the ultimate authorities/experts of their own lives & liken my role as therapist to a “fellow traveler”, joining you wherever you’re at with compassion, acceptance & authenticity. I'll help you overcome obstacles to accessing the resources you already possess & develop those that are yet to come forth.

Currently full with a waitlist; we are running some therapy groups now for those interested. Please feel free to reach out for a consult to join the waitlist or a group! I work with clients who are feeling that they are ready to get well, even if they do not know what that looks like, or even if its possible. I aim to help those who are tired of being told they need to wait to "deal with trauma". Frequently my clients tell me they have figured out how to get through the day, but they are not living their best life.

My style is very relational. I believe the strength of relationship over any modality is what is most healing in a therapeutic relationship. I am here to walk alongside you on your healing journey as a compassionate, kind and supportive witness. Offering support to those healing from experiences of trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, shame, codependency and relationship challenges. I would also be a good match for parents (soon to be parents, postpartum or parenting birth - 5 years old).

I believe every person has the potential to experience freedom and ease in their body-mind. In our work together, I will help you orient towards cultivating self-awareness and self-compassion. Through this process, we can develop your inherent inner knowing, moving you towards greater alignment in your life. I offer practical tools to clients to address a wide range of issues including clarifying spiritual direction, learning to navigate difficult emotions, and enhancing confidence to pursue goals.

As an experienced psychologist, healthcare team leader, Buddhist, life guide, husband and father, I have a broad perspective on how to live a happy, ethical life. Our lives are replete with both pleasant and unpleasant experiences. We will experience both whether we want to or not. Living our lives with compassion, gratitude, friendliness, and equanimity, we can set ourselves free from suffering. While unpleasant experiences are inevitable, suffering is optional. To live our lives gracefully—in spite of everything—is attainable. Love yourself. Spirituality is a key component on the path to happiness and joy.

I am an experienced, warm and insightful therapist. I work with adults across the life span. I am an active therapist, and I listen carefully. I am interested in supporting patients to understand themselves, their feelings, relationships, behaviors. I find that this understanding, along with the space to experience feelings, leads to the possibility of growth and change. I work with men and women, facing a broad range of personal, work, and family issues. I have often worked with people in their 20's and 30's who want to establish a successful intimate relationship.

Change is a natural part of life and can be both exciting and challenging. If you're looking to develop resources to deal with the challenge of transitions, anxiety or depression, or are seeking new ways of responding to old patterns, I'd like to work with you to actively create a fresh approach to building the life you want to be living. I am easy to talk to, and bring a warm and open presence approaching therapy as a conversation. I listen closely and aim to ask questions that help you to grow your own innate wisdom and inspire new ideas and solutions.
