Therapists in Arlington, MA

I am a certified clinical Imago relationship therapist and have 18 years of experience practicing psychotherapy in a variety of settings in the US, UK and Poland. Using a range of evidence-based and experiential therapeutic techniques, I work with individuals and couples facing relationship issues, loneliness, difficult adjustments, loss, grief, depression and anxiety. My clients often go through crises and difficult life transitions. I am here to listen, give support, and guide you through yours.

Thank you for visiting my page! I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, or posttraumatic symptoms. Guided by a client’s individual circumstances, I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques, though I am particularly drawn to exposure therapy. Exposure therapy gives people struggling with anxiety the opportunity to learn that they can cope with distress by gradually facing uncomfortable situations in a planned, deliberate way. I enjoy the collaboration between therapist and client while planning and conducting exposure activities.

If you are looking for support with self-exploration & self-esteem; experiencing relationship stress or anxiety; adjusting to parenthood or big changes; or if you just feel like you need somewhere to unpack what you've been carrying for too long -- let's talk. I welcome your journey with radical acceptance - the grit, the shame, the parts we try to hide and bury away. I love therapy because it gives all of that stuff some room to breathe - which gives YOU room to breathe. And reboot. And make plans for what comes next.

I take pride in my ability to establish a genuine and authentic connection with my clients, by creating an environment that fosters feeling safe and validated. Through sessions we will be able to establish individual goals towards wellness and feeling empowered. I am invested in clients becoming more seen and heard.

I am a clinical psychologist and the director of the Intensive CBT Program at Cambridge Psychology Group. I have more than 13 years of experience working with adults and older adults with anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, phobias, sleep problems, perfectionism, depression, and other conditions. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP); I routinely incorporate aspects of mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. I ensure that these strategies are personalized to your unique attributes, preferences, and values.

My therapeutic approach may look different depending on what is going on with the person and what his or her needs are, but I generally use an insight-oriented and cognitive approach. I help people figure things out, understand themselves better, sort out their thoughts and feelings, and gain perspective on themselves so that they are able to make effective choices in their lives and work towards greater emotional well-being. People generally describe me as having a calming presence and creating a safe environment for them.

Welcome! Everyone has resources and strengths that can enhance one's life and relationships. People who contact me often feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, ashamed, or burdened in some way. I will help you to identify and use your unique resources to address particular challenges and to create the life you choose to live.

I am a psychologist experienced in working in outpatient and partial hospitalization settings who specializes in both couples therapy and individual therapy for adults to address a broad range of difficulties. I have specific expertise in couples therapy for relationship distress and communication problems as well as in individual therapy to treat mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, and life transitions/stressors. I also often work with individuals who have eating disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, and substance use problems. My approach is client-centered and founded in evidence-based treatment techniques

As your collaborator, my focus is on your strengths, your challenges, and your goals. You may feel stuck and not sure how you'll navigate a transition such as the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an alarming diagnosis, or a career disruption. Together, we will work to move away from negative patterns that limit your growth and move towards greater self-compassion. My job is to create a place where you can express your full range of emotions in every session. While tears in therapy may be expected, do not discount the healing power of laughter.

Welcome! I am a forensic mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of forensic and clinical settings, including the Massachusetts Department of Correction, Suffolk County jail, and other institutions. I have assessed, evaluated, and treated individuals for a range of mental health and forensic issues. Currently, I provide forensic and mental health counseling at Sapphire Counseling Services. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I have the privilege of offering services in both Spanish and English to individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Good therapy happens when clients feel respected and understood. I listen, talk, interpret, untangle - always drawing on my experience with intergenerational and relational issues - to address your individual needs. Together we can identify goals, overcome obstacles, and help you make positive change.

At Boston Center for Couples and Sexuality, we recognize that while all humans struggle with one issue or another, at one time or another, it can be difficult to seek help and support. Expectations that you might have of yourself or expectations that you think or KNOW others have of you can really weigh you down when life gets busy. Sometimes you know exactly what you need help with, and other times, things just don't feel right and you just aren't sure what kind of help you need. Our clinicians will listen, ask good questions, and look at problems with you to figure out how to get you back on the path where you want to be. We work with individuals and committed couples, as well as those practicing consensual non-monagamy. While communication skills and sexuality issues are a significant part of our clientele, we also work with many patients with depression, anxiety, or grief as their presenting complaint.

I provide a therapeutic space where clients can begin to look at relationships, beliefs, values and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. I approach the sessions with warmth and humor and my hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease.

I've been a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) for almost twenty years. I work with individuals, couples, and families out of the basement office of my home in Arlington, MA. My most basic therapeutic approach is that everyone is born good and whole. But, life happens and it sends us difficulties that we can’t always understand or handle. These difficulties can happen as children, adolescents, adults, in school, home, work, and in our marriages. Sometimes these problematic life experiences can affect our core beliefs negatively and/or overwhelm our abilities to cope.

I am not taking new clients at this time. Often times people face challenges that prevent them from having fulfilled lives. Old coping skills appear failing and emotional distress disrupts balance. Entering therapy at a time of vulnerability can be difficult, but it can also bring healing and growth. I think that progress and change happen when collaboration, safety, trust, and empathy are present in therapy; these principles guide my work and support any treatment approaches that may be appropriate to take.

I help folks ages 12+ with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), social anxiety, panic attacks, and other anxiety related challenges. Additionally, I have experience helping those struggling with depression, eating disorders, trauma, and stress in adjusting to difficult life circumstances. I also work with individuals struggling with body focused repetitive behaviors including skin picking or hair pulling through Habit Reversal Training. I am licensed to treat clients in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. I only offer tele-health at this time.

I provide support and guidance to those who struggle with emotional distress leading to difficulties identifying and managing emotions. This can be the result of untreated anxieties, low self-esteem resulting in body image issues and challenges around food. If you have experienced a significant decline in your quality of life and want to set goals, process and heal from your traumas, I have found that providing a stable and consistent therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of that healing.

I have worked for almost 40 years with married and unmarried couples who face challenges with intimacy, communication, power, trust, physical connection, collaboration, parenting, and life changes. Many of my clients face some current or unresolved past challenges that have robbed some of the joy, comfort, and closeness in the relationship. My clients often want to create or re-ignite satisfying interactions and greater closeness. Working through these challenges and re-building energetic, and loving connection within a very safe and non-judgmental environment is what I love to do.
