Therapists in Plymouth, MA

TALKING HELPS!!! Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years experience in mental health, specializing in depression, anxiety, sexual addiction and the particular challenges men face, both young, middle age, and seniors. For many contemplating entering a therapeutic relationship can feel necessary and natural, for others difficult and frightening. I consider psychotherapy to be a positive tool that promotes growth, self awareness, connectedness and confidence to meet life's most difficult moments. I provide clients with the opportunity to feel validated, understood and strive to help them achieve their goals.

Thank you for visiting my profile. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief from loss, a recent life transition, relationship issues, family issues, or trauma from a catastrophic event, I can help you. My approach with individuals centers around helping you to review emotions, thoughts, life experiences and beliefs to gain insight into your present-day challenges. We can begin to evaluate the problematic patterns you may have developed over time and work together on ways to change those patterns. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach and will often integrate different treatment methods into our work.

Daytime bi-weekly availability! Deciding to come to therapy can be challenging and my priority is to provide a non-judgmental space where clients can be themselves and feel supported. My goal is to support you while you navigate life’s stressors and changes. I strive to create a space that is warm and inviting for all and where you can expect to be met with compassion and understanding.

I work with each individual by creating a safe space for positive and long lasting change.I believe in the power of choice and focus on strengthening the willingness to improve and succeed.

Most of us experience emotional conflict. Anxiety, depression, loss or seemingly impossible situations are among the challenges that interfere with our ability to sustain satisfactory relations at home, the workplace - and most importantly, within ourselves. Feelings of sadness or discontent can lead us unproductively towards substance dependence or persistent grief that overwhelms our lives. Obstacles such as poor self-esteem or past traumas are possible to overcome. Through sensitive inquiry, I encourage exploration of your thought process and resulting behaviors. While respecting your individual concerns, my overall goal is for you to achieve a sense of well-being.

If you are struggling with life issues or stressors and would like to talk with someone who can assist you to grow with these challenges or if you have depression or anxiety and aren’t sure if you would benefit from talk psychotherapy and/or medication I would be happy to help you. I have been a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Mental Health for over 35 years. I provide consultation and relational talk psychotherapy to individuals of 14 years and older. Also I provide medication consultation and management for patients who may need medication in addition to therapy. Its important you find someone you are comfortable working with.

Are you experiencing distress in your daily life and in your relationships? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, confused or disempowered? Are you frustrated by repetitive nonproductive disagreements with your partner? As a practicing therapist for twenty plus years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse issues. It is my belief that basic to all relationships, is the relationship with self. In our work we will look at relationship patterns to identify barriers to creating healthy, satisfying connections with ourselves and others in our lives, play, and work.

My hope for my clients is to empower them to reach their goals. That looks different for everyone. We know that anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship as well as work stressors can negatively impact us and prevent us from having the life we truly deserve and want. Oftentimes, in order to move forward, we need to look back and see why certain things have impacted us and continue to impact us. My approach starts with reviewing goals and determining how best to move forward. Sometimes that means short-term solution focused therapy. Other times, it's cognitive behavioral and narrative therapy along with MI.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling with every day life and the challenges that it may bring due to anxiety, Depression, trauma , etc. it is important to want to make a change and to work hard towards your goals.

As a therapist, I find it extremely important to build a strong alliance with each of my unique clients. Each person engages in therapy at their own pace which often requires a strong foundation of trust. I work with each client to develop the trust and sense of safety needed to be able to be open minded to all that therapy has to offer. Regardless of what is bringing you to therapy, we can explore it together. I can offer new perspectives and help you get to where you want to be. Clients often come to me for a variety of reasons but most often for anxiety disorders, interpersonal challenges, low self-esteem and depression.

Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth. With a specialty in trauma work, I provide a place of support to children, adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing challenges with relationships, anxiety/depression, boundary formation, and grief. I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

During this challenging and difficult time for all of us, simply talking to a therapist can help alleviate stress. Feeling fearful, anxious, depressed, lonely, scatter-brained, unfocused, angry, fatigued, numb are all possible reactions to the state of our current world. You may feel none of these and want to explore something completely unrelated. Our first conversation will give you a sense of whether it's a good fit. Trust your instinct. If it doesn't feel right for any reason, I encourage you to keep searching!

Welcome! I commend you for being here. I understand how looking for a therapist is a difficult process.

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.
