Therapists in Rhode Island

Hello I'm Angela Rudner, LICSW, and I'd like to welcome you to my psychotherapy practice. I have been practicing social work for 16 years. Do you have stress, depression, or anxiety related problems? Are you a senior looking to enhance your life? Did you, as a child, experience neglect either from narcissistic, emotionally immature or alcoholic parents? You are a unique individual and you can change destructive thought patterns and discover your problem solving abilities. Through a direct, and compassionate approach, we will address the obstacles that are preventing you from living your best life.

Currently accepting individuals only for daytime teletherapy appointments. Connection is everything, isn’t it? For better or for worse, we shape and are shaped by the people in our lives. Oftentimes our problems are more than just “in our heads” - they arise from our relationships to ourselves and others. Whether you have challenges in a current relationship – a parent, kid, partner, friend, or yourself – or if you’re struggling to make sense of hurtful relationships from your past, let’s help you get to the bottom of what is holding you back.

Individual, Child & Family Therapy Services ranging from depression, anxiety to trauma treatment.

I work with teenagers, emerging adults, and adults and particularly enjoy working with high school, college, and graduate students. I care deeply about offering queer and gender affirming therapy and welcome queer and gender expansive folks of all ages. I draw on relational, intersectional feminist, narrative, internal family systems, attachment, and somatic approaches to therapy. I strive to make each client feel understood, valued, and empowered because I believe healing and growth emerges from a strong therapeutic alliance.

As a clinical social worker I take a highly personal approach to each client. I know that accessing help can be difficult , but you have the ability to find the support needed. By building a relationship we can identify what may be preventing you from feeling your best. With a plan in place , I provide resources and support to assist you. My training includes traditional psychotherapy methods gained as a social worker as well as: solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systemic and integrative therapy to name a few . My style is relaxed and hollistic offering support to you in a safe and confidential environment .

I am compassionate, understanding, & pro-active. Together, we will help you learn how to better empower yourself, while finding strategies to cope and manage with life, work, family, relationships, school, food,or medical stress and challenges. I have expertise in treating complex conditions that may involve depression, anxiety, trauma, pain, health, fatigue, stress, life transitions, relationships, college,and work issues. I have 20 years expertise with Mindfulness-based Mind-Body Therapies, and Mindfulness Meditation, which are well researched methods in treating stress, pain, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.

We can together use this foundation to better understand how you experience life and transform this self discovery into change.

*My personal schedule is full, but other clinicians in my group practice are accepting new clients! Our therapists all take an integrative approach* Are you looking to make positive life changes, heal past traumas, and improve relationships? Are you going through major life changes such as becoming a parent, changing careers, or dealing with chronic health issues? Therapy can be a safe place to explore your concerns and learn new skills for living a balanced life! My group focuses on holistic counseling practices, including yoga, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, nature, energy healing and art.

Why do I need therapy? Therapy is for people who are crazy or out of control! I should be able to do this by myself! Asking or getting help means I'm not capable or strong. People are in therapy "cause they have to be." Couple's therapy is a last resort. Family therapy doesn't work/is not for me. Are any of these questions going through your mind? Is it helpful to know you are not alone? Sometimes, people are apprehensive about engaging in therapy or leery about continuing with therapy. All of the above reactions are understandable considering people's experiences. Licensure supervision/professional consultations offered.

Actively Taking New Clients! Online Only. I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in RI & Mass with nearly a decade of experience working with individuals in various mental health care settings. I work primarily with teens and adults (ages 13-65). My practice is devoted to helping individuals overcome whatever challenges they might be facing in order to improve their personal wellbeing and quality of life. I focus on utilizing the therapeutic relationship as well as clinical insight and a variety of interventions to help my clients regain a positive sense of self, and start to foster joy and fulfillment from their life.

Have you recently experienced an event that you can't seem to 'get out of your head?' Are you having trouble navigating family dynamics or romantic relationships? Are you unsure which direction you'd like your life to go in? Are you having trouble with sleeping, eating, or motivating yourself? These are just some of the many reasons that people tend to reach out for therapy. However, my clients tend to have one thing in common: they want to feel better. Together, we can work as a team to make this happen. Whether, you'd like help with accomplishing your goals, alleviating stress, or anything in between, my practice is a safe space.

I'm currently only accepting self-pay clients (not using insurance). How uncomfortable do you have to be to make a change? Sometimes we know we need to make changes, but aren't sure how to, when, or even what needs to change. Sometimes we need an empathetic ear to hear our stories to help us make sense of what we have going on in our lives. Whether it is career challenges, family or relationship issues, coming out a bit later in life, or the existential questions that have your mind racing, therapy can help dial down the noise so that you can hear yourself.

Openings available for in-person (mid-day Fridays) and telehealth (mid-day Saturdays). I enjoy working with people who want to learn more about themselves and explore their identity, children and adolescents experiencing emotional and life adjustment concerns, and people experiencing major life transitions (grief and loss, college and career issues, stress, and finding meaning and purpose). I have worked with individuals from all paths of life, race and ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, belief systems, abilities, education levels, family and relationship structures, and economic backgrounds.

Hello! My name is Emma Spann and my pronouns are she/her. I am an Outpatient Therapist at Northeast Family Services. All clients are welcome, but my experience has been more in serving individuals managing anxiety and depression, processing grief, and working with those in the LGBTQIA + community, as well as supporting couples in building effective communication strategies. My goal as a counselor is to be able to create the environment and support to reshape and rewrite your story as you see fit, to become the version of the self you feel most authentic in.

With twenty-five plus years of experience, I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which my clients can understand the causes of the problems they are experiencing and explore options for dealing with them. I believe each person has the right to determine their own journey in life and that people can make the decisions that are best for them when they are conscious of all the dynamics involved. Together, we will work to understand and consider the influences of family, social, and cultural contexts.

I have experience working with both adolescent and adult clients on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, substance abuse, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. My style is warm and nonjudgmental and pulls from techniques from various therapeutic models to meet clients where they are and address their concerns in the most effective ways. I am available Tuesday-Thursday exclusively via telehealth on Alma. It would be an honor to work with you! I am currently licensed in both RI and CT.

"Be kind to yourself as you proceed along this journey." Tsoknyi Rinpoche. I want to meet you where you are at to assist you with your anxiety, depression, substance use issues, adolescent emotional and behavioral needs, trauma, and family and couples therapy needs. I utilize elements of behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to motivate and assist you and your family. I obtained my Master's degree in counseling and behavioral therapy where I trained in substance use issues and in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy- a therapy which uses mindfulness-based strategies.

I love working with youth and their families. I am deeply passionate about assisting those I work with to find their voice again. I am skilled at helping others learn how to advocate, love, and believe in themselves. I believe that true growth only occurs when a person is allowed to shine. I enjoy working with college students, those who are navigating adjustments and change, LGBT+ and Black and other PoC populations. Anti-Racist and Feminist ideology inform my practice. I enjoy supporting those who have been historically excluded and do so with deep conviction and dedication.
