Therapists in Boston, MA

Therapy is a way to approach suffering through communication and a relationship. It is a sacred co-collaborated space that can facilitate a process of reflection and healing. As a graduate of Smith School of Social Work, I had the opportunity to thoroughly explore psychodynamic psychotherapy. Through certificate programs I enhanced my knowledge in palliative care, trauma assessment and treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, clinical hypnosis and sensorimotor psychotherapy.

My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.

The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. And to build one’s self. It can be challenging to reflect on patterns, thoughts and emotions, relationships, past events and/or change, but it can also be transformative and rewarding. My role as your therapist is to witness your process and to reflect back with you along the way. The therapeutic relationship is an essential piece of my practice and is built on honesty, trust, empathy, and compassion.

I'm a firm believer that you don't need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. If you're a college/graduate student, young adult, or professional dealing with anxiety, achievement, interpersonal relationships, identity development, ADHD, ASD, or confidence, you're not alone! I take a warm, collaborative approach to identify and resolve patterns that keep you feeling stuck. The foundation of my work is an identity-affirming approach that positions you as the expert of your own experience.

I provide CBT and solution-focused therapeutic services to individuals, and I specialize in life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, mood disorders, and insomnia.

I often utilize mindfulness principles and stress management in order to meet goals related to improved mental and physical health.

Are you seeking a path towards greater self-awareness and well-being? If so, you are not alone. Many individuals today are looking for ways to connect with their inner selves, and find balance in a world, that often feels chaotic and stressful. At its core, therapy is about fostering connection, and creating a safe and supportive space, for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. As a licensed therapist, I'm dedicated to collaborating with you through holistic, transpersonal, and other evidence-based techniques; and as a Reiki (energy healing) practitioner, I offer an eclectic approach.

Looking for a therapist who understands? I am a seasoned clinician with over 30 years of experience working with a wide variety of people across a broad spectrum of life circumstances, including individuals with chronic medical concerns and/or physical disabilities.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow.

Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

Frustrated? Feeling confused or overwhelmed? Often, life speeds away from us before we realize how quickly things have changed. Life is a process of personal growth and evolution, as well as a process of building and maintaining relationships with people in a world that's constantly in flux.

Sometimes life can seem difficult, sometimes you feel as though your words are not coming out right, sometimes you feel as though your voice is not being heard, sometimes we feel overwhelmed or misunderstood and sometimes we just don’t feel happy. During those moments, it is important to have a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss your stressors and find support in identifying tools to utilize to find balance to lead you to your road of living a happy and healthy life.

Depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, behavioral problems, insomnia, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, and flashbacks are just a few symptoms that can be caused by underlying trauma. Most of us have dealt with trauma in our lives. A traumatic event could be one isolated incident, such as a car accident or death in the family. Some individuals have experienced pervasive trauma, such as an ongoing medical procedure or family discord. At Robinson Counseling and Wellness, LLC we have clinicians who been trained to effectively resolve the symptoms of trauma and provide a safe environment for healing.
