Therapists in Auburn, MA

Short waitlist, but FREE Facebook community is open! Email me to join. Hi there! I'm Jessica, a licensed mental health counselor and certified trainer with a specialization in disordered eating and body image challenges. I work with women who have been harmed by diet culture and are ready to heal their relationship with food for good. It's time to discover a path towards finally finding peace with both food and fitness. By combining therapeutic techniques with personalized coaching, I guide my clients toward a brighter future. I also work with clients struggling with ADHD and general anxiety.

Accepting new daytime clients for telehealth. Seeking out help and treatment can be an intimidating process, especially when you are already struggling. I strive to create a safe, supportive and accepting environment to help heal and grow to reach your full potential. My passion is working with people who have endured a traumatic loss of a spouse or child, as well as women and couples dealing with an infertility diagnosis and who are seeking counseling to help build their family.

~Accepting new clients for daytime hours only. Please Email.~ The most important thing to me is helping a client reach individualized goals and balance of clinical, emotional and personal goals in life. I pride myself in helping people to trust and express their mind, body and soul for positive changes and growth. The biggest changes sometimes can happen by realistically changing a few simple behaviors, thoughts, and/or habits. My goal is to help the growth process along in a way that works with one's current strengths and hopes.

I believe in therapy YOU are the Expert of YOU and I am here to provide you the tools, skills and resources to help achieve your goals. The Dictionary defines the word CRISIS as; “a time when a difficult or important decision must be made.” That is where therapy comes in. We all go though some type of crisis in our life and having support to work through and handle that crisis makes the process that much easier. My job as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor is to provide a safe space to help you explore yourself, develop new perspectives, and guide you through the crisis you may face in your life.

Are you finding yourselves falling into the same arguments over and over again? Do you attempt to avoid conflict by walking on eggshells, isolating from each other, or not talking about what needs to be addressed until another “blow-up” happens? Even when you both are in the same space, does it feel like you're miles apart? Are you both feeling lonely, frustrated, and really missing each other? I help couples just like you increase connection, intimacy, and directly communicate with each other about what truly matters.

Life often throws curveballs and learning new ways to respond to stress can be one of the most important things we can do. I enjoy building relationships and watching others develop the skills they need to successfully overcome their challenges in life. Therapeutic work can be difficult, but I've found that a good sense of humor can go a long way.

I work with adults across the lifespan who are navigating the variety of unique challenges that life presents–from depression and anxiety, to major life transitions, to serious health concerns and grief. With a background in healthcare (having worked in emergency, critical care, and hospice settings for more than 10 years), I have a particular passion for working with clients facing life challenges at the intersection of physical and mental health, whether that be coping with your own physical and/or mental illness, being a caregiver, dealing with stress and burnout, or grieving a loss.

Perhaps you are an incredibly caring person who puts other people’s needs first. You enjoy giving your time and energy towards making others feel happy, and perhaps you’ve been playing on the sidelines in your own life. But, you secretly fear you won’t get love or respect back if you did not do so. So perhaps, you keep doing and giving and playing quietly. Truth is, this depletes you and leaves you not living the life you were truly meant to live. As head of household or business, you feel tired, stressed and perhaps not as happy as you’d like to be. And, you’ve neglected your own needs in mind, body and spirit for some time now.

I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth between the hours of 8-2 M-F. I have 20+ years of experience working with children, families, and adults from all walks of life who are working on a wide variety of personal and interpersonal concerns. I borrow from a variety of therapeutic interventions to help others deal with the difficulties they are facing.

Whether you're feeling depressed, anxious, hopeless, or irritable, making that first call for help can be hard. You desperately want to feel better, but you're afraid of what it will be like to share your thoughts with a therapist. I understand. My guiding principles are respect, appreciation of differences, and a balance between acceptance and change. I listen carefully and center the therapy around your needs.

Let me work with you to make the healthy, positive changes you desire last a lifetime.
