My job is to help individuals and families navigate complex living situations. I do so by creating a safe place for individuals to explore their inner thoughts and actions, and guide them to better understand their roles and opportunities in the world. I specialize in working with the adolescent, college-aged and adult populations, and the challenges that come from it, particularly anxiety, academic stress, adjustment issues, relationship issues, depression and ADHD. *I have limited availability, please call and inquire about any openings*

Dr. Mark Geer, Licensed Psychologist, past President of New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Private practice 25 years and extensive training in psychotherapy and hypno-therapy. My approach to helping is collaborative, empathic and offers a working alliance based on mutually identified goals. I work from the Ego State Therapy model: #1. Identify personality aspects that harbor pain, trauma, anger or conflicting emotions; promote resilience,inner strength,and confidence; and activate expression and work through emotions that block happiness and healthy relationships.

As a certified Sex Addiction & Partner Trauma Specialist, my role is to help you navigate the traumatic effects of relationship betrayal on your road to recovery, growth, healing & discovery. My approach is empathetic, action oriented, strength & trauma based. I'm committed to working with partners, couples & families impacted by sex addiction & betrayal trauma. As a therapist with over 35 years of experience, I work with a range of emotional & behavioral issues. My clients struggle with anxiety, depression, loss, grief, relationship & intimacy issues, marital & family problems. I offer a personalized approach tailored to your needs

As a therapist, I will create a safe and nurturing space where we can freely explore your hopes and aspirations, as well as whatever difficulties you are experiencing in life. You will be met without judgment and provided guidance as you make the changes you seek. As I help guide you toward long-lasting change and acceptance, you will further develop many of the strengths and qualities you bring with you. I tailor my therapy to you, and I promise to work as hard as you to get you to a place of happiness and healthfulness.

I am currently accepting new clients and conducting telehealth therapy (please email if interested at virginio.lmhc@gmail.com). I am glad to support those struggling in today's strange climate, or those looking to explore themselves and increase health and wellness while quarantined. My approach to treatment is strength based and multimodal. I use a holistic approach that can incorporate discussion, art, movement and humor to explore issues. I work well with those who have had trouble connecting with therapists in the past and those who may be resistant to entering treatment.

My practice provides safe and supportive environment to reduce pressure, discomfort, fear of judgment creating an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and validation. This setting allows to speak openly about physical, emotional, and psychological concerns, to freely express doubts, believes, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, and concepts. I encourage, but not pressure, exploring difficult situations, traumatic events, defense mechanisms, malfunctioning schema, identifying patterns, values, beliefs, connections between past and present; building on strengths to overcome challenges, realize potential and find meaning.

My greatest joy and expertise is helping others; individuals and couples, with a wide range of relationship issues, such as communication, fighting, unmet needs, emotional/verbal abuse, relationship/love addiction, affairs, issues of intimacy, etc. I'm also skilled and enjoy helping women with issues of co-dependency, power inequalities, guilt, self-loathing, loss of self, or low self-esteem supporting them to become empowered in their lives and relationships to get their needs met. In addition, I see adults struggling with issues, such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, loss and grief.

Are you dating, engaged, or married & experiencing conflict within your relationship? Breakups, seperation & even divorces are all a direct result of couples whom struggle with problematic communication issues. Since love is a fleeting emotion, developing practical approaches to conflict will help heal relational wounds. It's not if but, when to reach out that makes the difference. I specialize in reconnecting broken relationships, distant couples, & loveless marriages. I provide simple, yet effective strategies which will enhance communication, increase healthier interactions & promote genuine expressions of care and love.

I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

I have worked with diverse populations and people of all ages ranging from 4-74 years old while working in community mental health. My clinical experience also includes treating children and adolescents with trauma and severe emotional and behavioral issues at two residential schools. I currently focus on children, teens/adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy working with (and working alongside) athletes, taking a sports psychology approach. I also have a strong history of working well with clients who have not responded/had difficulty engaging in traditional therapy.

In these difficult times I offer phone/Face Time sessions to individuals and couples and a free 30 session session. I specialize in marital, pre-marital, and individual therapy. Let me guide you to find better self-awareness and clarity as you understand and change your negative cycles and old patterns. My twenty-five years of experience using insight oriented therapy will help you improve your interpersonal communication with your mate, family and co-workers. I will help you find strategies that will make your life happier and your relationships more fulfilling as you resolve conflicts in your life through short term support.

As a Boston-area psychologist for over 15 years, my services focus on work with children, teens, parents, families and adults with whom I create solutions for a range of concerns. I have clinical experience from various settings (hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential facilities and therapeutic schools). For over a decade, I served as the Clinical Director of the Manville School at Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston - a Harvard-affiliated therapeutic school program for children/teens with emotional, behavioral and learning difficulties. I also recently served as the Executive Director of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy (IMP) in Boston.

I strive to provide thoughtful, creative and effective solutions. My clients seek help with a range of issues, including relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety, family conflict and major life transitions. I offer individual and couples therapy, as well as parent guidance. For my couples clients, I work with them to improve communication, build trust, enhance understanding, and improve sexual intimacy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist practicing in Wellesley, MA. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a meaningful and fulfilling life. My approach is eclectic and I draw on many different techniques to meet the needs of the individual or family I am working with.

As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will: 1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change, 2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

Please call me directly for a free 15 minute phone consultation in order to find out more about how I work. One of my offices is located on the Newton/Wellesley border with plenty of parking available. My other office is conveniently located near the Copley T stop in the Back Bay on a street with easy parking and lot of metered parking spaces.

I'm a Husband, Dad and Grandpa and employ those life's lessons, as well as my professional training and experience to help couples and single adults get what they want out of life. My approach is straight forward and solution focused to that objective. As a former police officer, I bring a keen insight to the lives, experiences and challenges that law enforcement families experience. Clients wishing to come to a deeper understanding of themselves, their spirituality and their relationships will enjoy the real life, honest and to the heart approach of my practice.

As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, I help clients understand how thoughts directly impact feelings and behaviors. Clients and I will work together to identify the automatic thoughts that accompany feelings such as anxiety, sadness, frustration, and anger. When we're anxious or upset our thoughts are often inaccurate and overly negative. When we start listening to these thoughts we can learn to replace them with more accurate and constructive ones, ultimately resulting in more positive feelings and behaviors.

Are you dealing emotional, physical, medical or sexual trauma? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, with lingering feelings of self-doubt, negativity as you struggle with confidence but want to reach your potential? The stress is taking a toll on work and relationships; you deserve to feel better. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and focused on helping people deal with past and present challenges, as well as developing and enhancing future directions. I have over 15 years experience and expertise in helping clients with overcoming distress/trauma and performance coaching for athletes.
