Compassion Focused Therapists in Millis, MA

As a psychologist, I value warmth, compassion, and collaboration in my work. Understanding that pain is a part of what it means to be a person navigating life, I turn my focus to guiding individuals towards living their life in a manner they would like,despite the difficulties that arise.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who values individualized, person-centered psychotherapy where the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change, growth, and healing. I have worked with varying age groups across residential, in-home, and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with OCD, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and difficult life circumstances.

Life is inherently uncertain, and with that can come challenges. You're not alone in navigating those challenges and I am here to help support you along the way. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Registered Drama Therapist. Drama Therapy is an embodied modality that uses your story, the roles you play in your life, and metaphor to help process topics beyond just talking about them. I work with clients looking to receive support surrounding anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship/dating challenges, life transitions, work or school issues, illness, family issues, and other life stressors.

The ideal client would finally be open to change and hope to have better interpersonal relationships. This can be a client who struggles with their anxiety, possibly has poor attachment styles, and struggles with holding meaningful relationships (romantic, platonic, familial). Their goals would be identifying healthy boundaries and healthy responses, increasing effective communication skills, and identifying past relationships/present relationships in order to identify patterns/habits.

Accepting new clients for in-person and telehealth. I primarily treat individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am certified in perinatal mental health and treat postpartum anxiety/depression and pregnancy loss. I pride myself on connecting with clients using a compassion focused, relational approach and working together to help you take charge of your current challenges. The client's I work best with are typically looking for a blended approach: space to process their stressors, to feel heard and validated; while learning effective skills to manage symptoms using DBT and CBT techniques.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive, safe and collaborative working environment. We will work to understand how past events may correlate with your current perceptions, and how present experiences may shape your thoughts, feelings and behavior. I have experience working with adults and young adults to improve varying degrees of anxiety, depression, and mood presentations. I have helped clients enhance their self-esteem, communication, boundary-making, interpersonal skills and coping strategies. I am an active listener who challenges unhelpful self narratives to make way for productive ones.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

We are a group practice owned and operated by licensed mental health professionals. We offer individual/group/couple and SUD therapy. We believe that everyone is the hero in their story.

Entering into therapy can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. My initial goals are always to understand what brings you into therapy, give you a sense of how I practice, and talk together about whether I am a good fit for you. I encourage an ongoing and open conversation about our treatment relationship and progress towards your goals. I practice from the fundamental belief that healing can occur in an attuned, compassionate relationship marked by curiosity. Clients describe me as interactive, collaborative, warm, and nonjudgemental.

I work with clients with a wide variety of behavioral health conditions. I provide treatment for adults and adolescents as well as families and couples. Whether you are looking to strengthen your relationships, for parenting guidance, career / personal coaching, or psychotherapy, I am here to support and guide you on your journey. Together we will develop a sustainable and rewarding road map for personal growth, professional success or raising happy, healthy and balanced children. I am licensed in Massachusetts and Arkansas. Please reach out for a FREE initial consultation.

Anyone and everyone can benefit from therapy! Life has its challenges and we do not need to face them alone. It is human to feel overwhelmed and therapy can serve as an outlet and help navigate through life's challenges effectively. Therapy is a process that allows growth and change to occur when therapists and clients work collaboratively. I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and support you in maneuvering toward positive change.
