Therapists in Plymouth, MA

What often compels people to seek therapy is some form of felt loss. It could be as transparent as an unsatisfying relationship or as subtle as lowered self-esteem. It could be a sense that something is missing and an uncertainty as to what that may be. One of the most important relationships in life is the one we foster with ourselves. And frequently, it is the one most ignored. I strive to help people see and understand themselves more clearly as I believe self awareness is an indispensable bridge to healthy change.

Feeling stuck? Therapy can be beneficial to anyone, regardless of what their particular stressors are in life. Every one of us has our own unique challenges and struggles, and seeking professional mental health care can help by detangling complex or chaotic thoughts while boosting your confidence to power through. Each session will be catered to your specific needs and goals. Whether you simply need someone to talk things through with, or you are concerned about severe mental health symptoms, seeking help is the first step!

Everyone will eventually come upon an issue that they are struggling to process. Whether it is addiction, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma or recently being diagnosed with a serious illness, we all sometimes need the help of a professional to navigate personal challenges in life. Often we are hoping to facilitate change in our journey and are unsure on where to begin. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and a certified alcohol and drug counselor. I specialize in helping those whose primary goal is to overcome life obstacles, recover from mental health issues, dual diagnosis and have the willingness to do so.

My specialty is in teaching healthy communication skills to couples, and to help anyone to communicate more effectively. This comes from educating clients about how their past programming and particularly family systems affects them and can create defenses that cause obstacles in their lives. Through understanding one learns to accept all parts of themselves and set themselves free from unwanted emotions and behaviors. Communication improves and personal growth (higher emotional EQ) develops.

I specialize in using mindfulness, meditation, movement, nutrition, supplementation, and holistic modalities. I enjoy working with people seeking to make a change in their health and discover their inner-potential. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, elderly, couples and families.

*Immediate openings for Addictions Counseling* Counseling Services of Greater Boston proudly offers the members of our community a variety of therapeutic modalities so our clients receive the most individualized treatment possible. Our primary clinician is Amanda Bruce, LMHC. Her professional background is diverse, and she is experienced in treating the following issues and populations: family conflict, children and adolescents, eating disorders, trauma recovery, grief, parenting difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, low self-esteem, and self-harm behaviors.

Clients see me for existential fatigue from unresolved trauma, loss, grief, relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, addictions/compulsions. Every part of our lives has an opportunity for growth. I support people who want to engage the opportunities and move beyond simple relief of symptoms to understand symptoms are telling us something greater is trying to emerge. I believe relationship between therapist and client(s) is a primary factor in determining success in therapy. Clients who see me are usually seeking deeper relationships with themselves, others, and their world, i am here to facilitate that process.

I think it is extremely courageous to admit we need help. I believe one of the most important criteria for successful treatment is to have a trusting, open, "therapeutic rapport" with a client. Without trust and a good connection, the therapeutic process cannot begin. With that in mind, I believe the first step is creating an environment safe from judgement and rich in support. My focus is to enable clients to acquire insight, skills, and motivation for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transitions.I specialize in older adolescent and adult individual therapy as well as family and couples counseling.

you are presumably looking to make some sort of change. You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, lingering events from your past, or dealing with current stressors from family, relationships, work, or life events. All too often people resort to unhealthy means or patterns to alleviate their pain, stress, or mood but the relief is often fleeting and our best attempts can often backfire leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted. Therapy can serve as a collaborative process in which you can work through the obstacles that stand in the way of a happy and fulfilling life.

We have immediate availability at our practice, Verge Therapy, for telehealth or appointments before 2pm. Please reach out to get connected with a provider today. I am a Master’s-level clinician committed to helping adolescents and young adults foster greater awareness of the self and the mind. I have worked with young people of all ages as a school counselor and as a community based clinician. I have experience working with individuals who are living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, experiencing life transitions or relationship and family concerns, and those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I see individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to provide clients a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship to talk, feel, heal, and change. Life challenges present us with opportunities for new chapters, new growth. Helping you reach your therapy goals is of utmost importance to me. You do not need to be controlled by the past, yet do you often use old behaviors in situations wanting a new response? Are you suffering from depression, anxieties, relationship problems, fears, self-doubts, or "irrational" worries? Together we will explore ways to help you live with more awareness, more freely, and with more energy for your present.

I am passionate about helping people. I spent over 14 years working in prevention as a high school and middle school health educator and most recently have 9 years helping people who struggle with alcoholism, substance misuse, and addiction. I truly believe recovery is possible for everyone. I am familiar with various screening and assessments and will work with my clients to develop treatment plan goals that are appropiate. I have knowledge of multiple pathways of recovery, CBT, DBT and use a Humanistic approach while meeting people where they are at and using motivational interviewing to helping clients with ambivalence.

As a Boston-area psychologist for over 15 years, I focus on mindfulness-based work with teens, parents, families with whom I facilitate healthy change and growth. I have clinical experience from various settings (hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential facilities & therapeutic schools). For over a decade, I served as the Clinical Director of the Manville School at Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston - a Harvard-affiliated therapeutic school program for kids with emotional, behavioral and learning difficulties. I also recently served as the Executive Director of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy (IMP) in Boston.

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.

Individual clients welcome. In my professional journey, I've had the privilege of guiding thousands of clients from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique stories and challenges. I help individuals cultivate a deep understanding of their emotions, fostering emotional intelligence that is crucial for personal growth. I strive to create a space where feelings are acknowledged and processed, to clear a path for success. Embracing wellbeing as a fundamental aspect of strength is at the heart of my approach. The goal is for you to become an insightful expert of your own life - past, present and future.
