Therapists in West Somerville, MA

My name is Claudia Orfao-Martin, and I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. I have been treating clients for more than forty years, and I work primarily with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients. I see individuals, couples and families, and I have been working virtually for more than five years. Because of the variety of clients with whom I work, I have an eclectic approach to treatment. Most importantly I focus on the use of Evidenced Based Treatment and Behavioral Interventions. Clients are individually assessed to determine the best approach to the treatment provided.

I offer psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples and families in Massachusetts for a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, depression, and relationship difficulties. I strive to apply the science of psychology in an artful manner, co-creating a course of treatment that reflects the evolving complexities of your situation.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker specializing in the treatment of various mental health concerns. I am interested in working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have worked in various mental health settings such as residential treatment programs, inpatient hospital units, a community outpatient clinic, a rape crisis center, and a substance use treatment program. In addition to my private practice, I work as a Clinical Team Manager at McLean Hospital’s Behavioral Health Partial Hospital Program.

I specialize in working with couples using a brief, solution-focused approach. By beginning each session with a focus on hope, the trajectory of the work shifts from a problem-focus to what couples are hoping for the most. This can facilitate change without requiring clients to process past failures or re-experience problems and challenges (a big reason why people avoid therapy).

I won't know on day one what method of treatment works best for you, because people reveal themselves over time, and at their own pace. My holistic, culturally sensitive approach is rooted in respect, truth and compassion. I respect the unique way in which you show up in the world. I believe there is power in discovering your truth, and I will always show you compassion. I incorporate my knowledge of the human body that I gained through professional experience in the fitness/yoga industry to help you better understand the connection between the mind, the body and the spirit.

I bring warmth and compassion to the counseling relationship with adolescent, young adult, and adult clients. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Restoration Therapy (Hargrave), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are the most prominent influences on my eclectic approach, and because of my experience as a pastor and chaplain, I may be particularly helpful to clients looking to explore the integration of their faith and mental health. I am equally committed to coming alongside clients for whom faith is not a priority or who may come from a different background.

If you are looking for couples or individual therapy, you've had an exhausting journey to this point. Perhaps you are a self-sufficient person who is used to making it on your own, but there is so, so much you are asked to hold right now. You may notice that in the strain in your relationships, in your unexpected emotional reactions, and in your body. There can be an overwhelming gap between the life and relationships you hope to have and your day-to-day reality. I offer a way forward through couples therapy and individual therapy that is informed by rich training and experience while honoring your depth, complexity and uniqueness.

I am a therapist who specializes in increasing sexual communication, pleasure, and satisfaction for my clients. I work with both individuals and couples to achieve the sexual lives they are looking for. People struggle with sex for many reasons such as learning "sex is bad", concern about differences in desire, no desire, struggling with sex/gender identity, trauma, lack of comfort/education about sex, anxiety about having sex/talking about sex with others, pelvic pain, not orgasming, ED, premature ejaculation etc. If this sounds like you I am here to help without judgement, to collaborate on how to create a new sexual narrative.

My name is Daniel Quinn, LICSW and I have been a psychotherapist for more than 35 years. I provide both individual and couple's therapy.
