Therapists in Belmont, MA

I believe nobody should grapple with crippling anxiety. Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling unwarranted fear, or losing sleep due to worry? There's hope. Anxiety affects millions, but we can navigate toward a brighter tomorrow. I offer personalized sessions for self-confidence, serenity, and joy. Let's embark on this journey together—because you deserve a life free from anxiety's constraints. My commitment to specializing in anxiety and its various forms stems from a recognition of the remarkable efficacy of modern therapeutic approaches.

When will you realize you are worthy of being a priority? You always put others first and you wear that as a badge of honor. You believe that it is your job to always be available to others, always be willing and barely having your needs met. You are the “responsible” one so everyone in your life always counts on you. You have always been the go-to person for your family and friends. You are used to being the “strong” friend or are perceived as having it all together. If we are being honest that makes you feel good about yourself. Other’s needing you have made you feel wanted and seen. But what happens when that stops,

I am a caring, compassionate, professional therapist, highly experienced in providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My greatest asset is that I am highly committed to work with you in helping you experience relief from emotional pain, find fulfillment and love in your relationships with others, as well as peace, acceptance, and joy in your relationship with yourself. I consider my work my life's work. My clients find strength within themselves and in their relationships, as they seek to live with understanding and love more effectively each day. I am honored to be part of your journey.

I enjoy working with adults, couples, and blended families with a wide range of challenges including: identity, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relational dynamics, limit-setting, loss, parenting, and transitions. I strive to provide a warm, safe, collaborative space to help clients explore their feelings and understand the origins of their pain/discomfort. As this occurs, new options become available for living a more engaged and satisfying life.

Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Guilt, remorse and past traumas can prevent us from moving forward and embracing our future. I will work with you in identifying barriers and creating goals to achieve your ultimate self.

We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

It takes courage and awareness to reach out for support, and I am glad you are here. I strive for our work together to feel immediately comforting, meaningful, real, and effective in getting to the heart of your core concerns. I work from a trauma-informed, context informed, integrative framework in a warm and interactive environment, drawing from holistic, cognitive, and psychodynamic perspectives and I am a DBT and EMDR certified practitioner. Our relationship matters the most in terms of building trust to achieve goals. On that note, I am a Jewish Therapist. If this is of concern for you, I suggest seeing alternative referrals.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been trained to become a trauma therapist by Bessel van der Kolk who authored the book "The Body Keeps The Score." My goal is to provide a space in which you feel seen, heard and understood as that is what truly creates opportunities for growth, reflection and introspection. I specialize in trauma but work with clients from all different paths of life and backgrounds who are dealing with a broad array of matters including anxiety/depression, major life transitions, body image, relationship issues and overall self-discovery.

I believe whole-heartedly in each person's capacity to heal, and I work collaboratively with my clients. My work connects people with their strengths, their creativity and with their internal healing systems so that they can make the kinds of changes they want to make.

Imagine actually enjoying therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals. Since therapy is an intense process that tackles intense issues, I believe it should also include authenticity, humor, and flexibility. I focus my teletherapy practice on adolescents, college students, and young adults in their 20s and 30s in Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut. I am energetic, creative, and hands-on and will work with you (and your child, if applicable) to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.
