Therapists in Wellesley, MA

I have been a licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years, with a holistic approach to look at the individual's functioning in all aspects of their life. I will work with you to identify obstacles that are preventing you from having a happy and healthy lifestyle and develop a plan to achieve your personal goals. Some of the areas I focus on include family conflicts, relationship issues, sports psychology, self-esteem, depression and anxiety.

Life is inherently uncertain, and with that can come challenges. You're not alone in navigating those challenges and I am here to help support you along the way. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Registered Drama Therapist. Drama Therapy is an embodied modality that uses your story, the roles you play in your life, and metaphor to help process topics beyond just talking about them. I work with clients looking to receive support surrounding anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship/dating challenges, life transitions, work or school issues, illness, family issues, and other life stressors.

As humans, we often experience significant overwhelm from our sensory environment, trauma, and stress that can increase disassociation and make it difficult to process emotions. I believe that through reconnecting to the body in creative spaces we can improve our understanding and processing of emotions. As an Expressive Arts Therapist I specialize in a trauma-informed, mind-body approach and I work mainly with veterans and service members, complicated grief, family and relationship dynamics, anxiety, LQBTQIA+ community, and non-monogamy relationship structures.

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.

You've braved the first, and often most difficult step by reaching out. My name is Sam and I help clients ages 18 and up struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors/ transitions and men's mental health. I truly believe that the therapeutic process is a place for self-exploration and that you have all the knowledge within yourself to reach your goals. As a therapist, my goal is to create a collaborative and comfortable environment for you to explore your treatment needs.

We understand that our clients come to us with a variety of experiences, skills, and strengths, and we work with you to cultivate your innate resources and develop new skills to help you find sustainable solutions for the issues you are facing. We believe that therapy should be a comfortable collaboration between the therapist and client to best serve client’s wellness needs of mind, body, and spirit. Our licensed, trained, and certified clinicians have been trained at the highest levels possible to work with the specific needs you and your loved ones face.

The ideal client would finally be open to change and hope to have better interpersonal relationships. This can be a client who struggles with their anxiety, possibly has poor attachment styles, and struggles with holding meaningful relationships (romantic, platonic, familial). Their goals would be identifying healthy boundaries and healthy responses, increasing effective communication skills, and identifying past relationships/present relationships in order to identify patterns/habits.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

Are you experiencing a personal problem that feels insurmountable, has derailed you from your path, or has become so distracting that you can't ignore it any longer? Do you have ongoing health concerns, relationship conflict, recent loss, family stress or mental health issues? I can help you identify challenges, increase personal initiative, try new things, build confidence, make constructive decisions, utilize available services, manage problems proactively, and develop success strategies. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who need a higher level of support and resources to cope, change, and thrive.

I have been providing collaborative, interactive therapy services to children, adolescents, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and family for over 25 years. I am eclectic in approach, beginning with Relational and Client-Centered models, incorporating Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Collaborative Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Family Systems Therapies; addressing Anxiety, Mood Disorders, ADD/ADHD, Grief, Loss and Trauma, Adjustment Disorders, Anger/Frustration management, Self Esteem and Confidence Building, Social/Relationship Building Skills, LGBTQ, Parenting Coaching/Skills.

I provide individual, family, and group therapy for persons who are concerned about their emotional health and well-being. With over 25 years of experience in the treatment of pre- teens, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, divorce, career transitions, academic achievement, work/life balance, faith-based conflicts and other life stressors, my practice provides people with a safe, respectful, and healing environment. " Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." Leonard Cohen

With a direct, authentic, and light-hearted approach, I form genuine connections with my clients, and work collaboratively to establish and achieve their goals. Through developing increased self-awareness and enhancing coping skills, my clients are better able to manage their symptoms. This process ultimately leads to improved daily functioning and overall life satisfaction.

My goal in therapy is to use empathy, humor, and openness to create a space where you feel safe to express yourself without judgement, accepted for all that you are, and ready to process your experiences with someone who values your wellbeing! My passion lies in working with adolescents, teens, and young adults seeking to work through issues of anxiety, identity development, stress, family conflict, school issues, relationships, transitions, and self-esteem. I also have several years of experience helping athletes with common performance issues such as confidence, focus, motivation, and overcoming injury to perform at their best!

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.

As a thirty year veteran in Clinical Social Work, I worked for many years at the premier Harvard teaching hospital for Psychiatry in Boston.. I am an eclectic therapist. My clinical work is based upon a psychodynamic foundation to which I have integrated Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Training, Family Systems Models and Coaching. In my initial assessment and subsequent work with each individual, I strive to listen as closely as possible to the feeling experience of the client and help each person develop an understanding and perspective of their life experience.

After 20+ years working in the mental health field, I have seen firsthand that when you put yourself and your mental health first, all other elements of your life get better: relationships, work, family, and your overall emotional and physical wellbeing. In a chaotic world that often creates undue stress for everyone, finding a way to cope with life’s everyday issues is more important than ever. And an investment in your mental health is always worthwhile. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or anything else, I look forward to talking with you about how we can navigate the issues together.
