Therapists in Peabody, MA

It's not uncommon for people to find themselves unable to get a handle on their mental and emotional worlds at certain times in their life. Whatever you are suffering from, it only takes the desire to make changes and the courage to ask for help that sets you on a path to feeling better. It is the start that stops most people, so congrats to you for making the first step. Whether you have PTSD/trauma, or needing to overcome anxiety, depression, self esteem, OCD, and more.... I use methods that can produce effective results in a short period of time.

My therapy style is practical, gentle and significantly informed by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as well as Narrative,Relational, CBT and motivational interviewing frameworks.

I understand that the decision to seek psychotherapy is usually not under the most desirable of circumstances and is a choice that not only takes willingness and courage, but requires a considerable time and resource commitment. While people engage in psychotherapy for help with various challenges, for it to be beneficial, I believe of precedence is the fit between therapist and client. This foundation allows us to explore vulnerabilities, process difficult emotions and experiences, and come up with creative solutions to problems together.

*Certified CBT Therapist* My approach to therapy allows me to conduct solution-focused therapy; meaning that together we will work towards solving whatever questions you may have through changing thoughts and/or behaviors. I also perform Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where my work focuses on helping people change problematic behaviors. With a teaching style heavily rooted in behavior therapy, I am able to work with people to problem solve in the here and now, where we will work to turn the issues of yesterday and today into a better tomorrow.

Wise ones have advised, "Know thyself." My work as a therapist is to assist you to do just that...to help you learn about yourself, but to learn with much more compassion and empathy than you've likely allowed yourself before. Whether you are seeking couple's, individual, or family therapy, I will work with you to understand the issues you name more fully. We will then identify resources, strategies, and tools you can use to address and manage those issues more effectively. I utilize psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based, and relational approaches, and attempt to offer a holistic perspective.

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from age eighteen through every adult decade. My style is interactive, collaborative, and non-hierarchical. My emphasis is on promoting psychological resilience by helping my clients expand their copings skills in the manner of resilient individuals. You do not have to be unusually healthy or come from a terrible past in order to benefit from the lessons of the resilient. I am equally comfortable and conversant with agony as much as ecstasy. If you are motivated to change through therapy, you are highly likely to be a lot happier with yourself and your life over time."

Every single one of us struggles from time to time. Perhaps you're tired of repeating the patterns that leave you feeling stuck, frustrated and disconnected. So often we tell ourselves that we are the problem- that it lies within us. That we are somehow wrong. A depressive. An anxious person. A bad person. These ideas come from stories that others (and society) tell us about ourselves; other people pinpointing what they see as significant and telling our own story to us.
