Family Therapy in 01060
I work with adolescents and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy.
Psychotherapy is incredibly helpful not just in managing mental health diagnoses such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, etc., but it is also a powerful support in navigating the ways in which we can all get stuck in undesired and unhealthy patterns in our lives and relationships. My goal is that your experience of therapy is one in which you feel deeply heard and understood, challenged in healthy ways, and safe and comfortable to explore a wide range of thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a neutral and non-judgmental setting.

Life is constantly changing. Navigating these changes can be incredibly difficult. Chances are at some point most us will experience difficulties in our careers, intimate relationships, family relationships, and in relation to ourselves.

It is normal to feel overwhelmed, stuck, and helpless at times to deal with the mosaic of challenges life presents us. These challenges get in the way of living the life we want. If you're ready to take your life back you've come to the right place. Longmeadow-Counseling.com

Although my training in psychoanalysis, family systems, and child therapy informs the work, each individual patient determines how I proceed.
My approach to therapy is not limited to any one direction or technique. I work to stay open to and curious about each person's unfolding story. I listen closely to nuance and I look for underlying patterns, towards understanding what keeps people stuck. I am comfortable working with great adversity and extreme pain.

A few strategies I draw on frequently include Internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness, acceptance based and self compassion therapies.
In sessions, I work to create a space for clients that allows for exploration and discovery of themselves and their internal/external worlds. By approaching the journey of healing and transformation through deep listening and curiosity, I help bring about clarity without shame or judgment where there are blocks or stuckness. When invited, I work within archetypal and mythic frames, holding the collective context of suffering and healing. I work with adults, college students and teens and children. When working with children, I lean into play and art/expressive therapies that help the child access their emotional worlds.

My specialty is family work, but have extensive experience in treating issues of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
My approach with clients recognizes that most people are looking for tangible help, don't have a lot of time between work and family, and want to feel like they are moving toward a better understanding of solutions to address their difficulties. My work with clients acknowledges these issues. I take a very active role in counseling to explore the options with my clients, provide new knowlege of issues where relevant, and help an individual to reach their potential. Issues related to marital/partner, parenting/child, family,work,school,stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are all areas I work with.

To begin, I would like to share a reading that resonates with me personally and professionally. In "Decolonizing Therapy," Dr. Jennifer Mullan offers, "We are demanding trauma-responsive, culturally full, transparent, anti-carceral, non-ableist care. We all deserve this. Our children deserve this. Our elders deserve this. Future generations deserve this. This book is my offering for more cross-movement, intergenerational, neurodivergent, gender-queer, ancestral, abolition-centered, embodied therapeutic work that actually works, and does not devour." <3

Are you struggling with anxiety about a stressful world and uncertain future? Is there a voice in your head screaming at you to do it all perfectly, stay four steps ahead, not make any mistakes? Or perhaps you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family. It’s exhausting when your mind races with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone. Sure it’s good to think ahead and be alert, but not when it stops you from sleeping, prevents you from getting work done, or makes it impossible to enjoy the good times when they happen.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems and utilize this approach often.
It can be difficult to strip away the influences imposed upon us from an early age. We may struggle to find our true course, or feel stuck living according to external pressures; recognizing every so often, a discord between the head and the heart. I believe that every person is entitled to live an authentic and fulfilling life. The first step is to access a deeper presence where we can feel and begin to sort out the various forces moving through us. What clarity might present itself under such conditions?

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
