Therapists in Boston, MA

It's an unfortunate reality, but many people never reach their full potential in life; there always seems to be one or more things holding them back. This can be due to past traumatic experiences, a difficult childhood, their own thoughts, etc... the list is endless! As a result, anxiety and depression can set in.

This fire will not burn you; it will only burn what you are not. - Mooji I love this quote as applied to the therapeutic process. Many of us feel instinctively that we have a core self inside who is wise and who knows what is best for us, yet things seem to keep going sideways in the course of our everyday lives. I work with clients to manage mood disorders, recover from trauma, or cut down or stop substance use (or to stay in recovery). I also work with clients who are exploring alternative approaches to their healing such as the medicinal use of psychedelics, in order to support integration of their experiences.

If you have been struggling with past trauma that finds its way into day to day life, you are not alone. Perhaps you are a mom or a women who has experienced PTSD in the past and would like to heal from those disturbing memories and gain back confidence and joy.

When we go through hard experiences it is normal to experience a variety of symptoms that can feel overwhelming and even out of our control. The hopeful news is that you can find fulfillment & gain back your strength, your worth it!

Practicing since 1999, I have extensive experience treating PTSD/trauma (sexual abuse/assault, partner violence, etc.) and anxiety with EMDR. I'm an EMDRIA approved consultant (for clinicians), preferring short-term EMDR clients. I have a sexual health certification and am comfortable working with consenting non-monogamy, TGNC, and am kink-aware. We use your strengths to overcome current and historical obstacles, including burnout and life stress. Also, now offering private pay intensive EMDR sessions as my ongoing practice is full. Go to stephaniebairdlmhc.wordpress.com for info. I have a small 2-day a week practice.

I will work with you to improve your relationships, learn how to advocate for yourself and build self-confidence, and work through trauma. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ identified folks and empowering them to live authentically and confidently in a world that may not always understand or support their experiences. I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, learn new skills, and work towards living your best life.

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.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Massachusetts. I am seeking clients to support through transitional times in their lives or processing trauma, through EMDR modality. Please email me to join waitlist for summer openings!

Hi! I'm Carisa. I provide telehealth-based psychotherapy for adults, children, and families in Massachusetts and Florida. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and acute, chronic and/or complex trauma. My practice emphasizes a blend of evidence-based care, kindness and unconditional positive regard, which I have found to be the 'recipe' for success. I am a good fit for those seeking a collaborative therapeutic approach in which the wisdom you have gained from your lived experience is a welcomed and honored part of our work together. I prioritize autonomy, choice and informed consent throughout the therapy process.

I believe that problems develop relationally and therefore it makes sense to solve them relationally: to seek resolution through genuine understanding is the work of therapy. In my experience, the relief that clients seek is contingent upon being seen as they are, and as they want to be seen, and feeling understood.

My ideal client would be someone who is ready and willing to participate in treatment. I am comfortable with an array of different diagnoses and struggles. Their needs would include working towards tangible goals that we are able to breakdown in the treatment setting. They may want to work on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms etc. They would want to minimize their symptoms and improve everyday functioning. The goal would ultimately be to no longer need treatment as they have reached their goals.

Do you ever find it difficult to stand on solid ground while the world is in constant motion around you? And no matter what you do, it never feels like enough? We know life’s obstacles are unlikely to go away all together, but what if you were able to navigate them from a place of curiosity and self-compassion? I offer a relaxed, trauma-informed and non-judgmental space to collaboratively expand on the strengths you already possess and shift the patterns that no longer serve you. Together we can unlock your natural potential for restoration and growth- where you can root into your authentic self with confidence and ease.

Lisa is a proud Boricua, born and raised in the diaspora. Her identity as the daughter of parents who emigrated from Borikén (presently known as Puerto Rico) has significantly shaped her world-view and continues to fuel her passion for social justice, activism, and the healing of those of the global majority. Lisa utilizes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in her clinical practice. Lisa’s therapeutic approach is anchored in the understanding that emotional distress manifests both mentally and within our bodies (somatically), therefore healing needs to include the body.

Are you struggling with processing past traumatic events? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR provides a proven approach to address the symptoms of trauma that can interfere with thriving in your everyday life. EMDR allows individuals to process incredible amounts of material in a shockingly short time.
