Therapists in Concord, MA

Currently very limited availability for in person and tele-therapy appointments for individuals (16 and older), couples, and families. Committed to honoring, exploring, and creating the promise of "what might be" for you. Offering collaborative and generative conversations that are interactive, respectful, curious, and non-judgemental. Honoring your unique experiences, values, preferences, abilities, hopes, dreams and sparkling moments. Committed to the promise of what you can be outside the world and influence of problems. Focused on changing your relationship to problems affecting and influencing you and what you care about most.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions, changing careers, going through grief or loss, experiencing anxiety, looking for support with trauma, developing coping skills, or just seeking support with the messiness of life. I want to work with clients who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and make a commitment to creating space for themselves to work through their current patterns that are no longer serving them. I meet the person where they are at and understand what ways they would like to make changes in their life.

My ideal client is someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, lack of confidence, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. If you want to learn coping strategies, identify triggers, learn about symptoms, and find your inner strength, then consider partnering up with me to improve your mental health.

My ideal client is willing to start the exciting but sometimes challenging journey to finding themselves. I love to work with folks who make the active decision to start therapy, even if they do not have a concrete goal in mind. I can certainly assist a client who does not have a specific goal in finding something they want to address. My ideal client would be willing to reflect on themselves, their lives, and their choices, and they would be willing to work collaboratively with me to either maintain or change their path.

My practice primarily treats children, adolescents, and adults through the modalities of individual,family therapy and parental guidance. I approach each client's issues, situations with care and compassion in order to create a non-judgemental space so they can develop their strengths and gain new insights into their symptoms and behaviors. I enjoy the process of building the therapeutic relationship as I believe that it is through relationships people can heal. Much of my experience is treating trauma; anxiety; mood disorders; and transitional issues such as divorce, adoption, loss, and relational issues.

Currently Accepting Clients. Are you struggling? Have you recently experienced a loss or a failure? Is that depression stubbornly refusing to lift? Are you exhausted by anxiety? Re-experiencing grief, trauma symptoms and relationship difficulties? Do you find it difficult to sleep? Mental well-being and physical health are intertwined, so it's critically important to take care of your mental health without delay.

Offering a compassionate, safe place in which you can explore current life challenges that may be difficult to face alone. Relationship conflicts, separations, loss, job changes, eating problems and other addictions, medical illness, mid-life and other transitions often require working in partnership with someone who can help you find your own inner resources to move forward in your life. I have thirty-six years of experience as a medical practitioner working with diverse populations, including college students, young, middle age and older adults. I bring that experience to my psychotherapy work, recognizing the whole person, mind, body and spirit.

If you're a woman at one of life's turning points and now struggling a bit, I invite you to get in touch. My time with you will start with the idea that everyone has strengths. We can rediscover, use and build on these to find solutions to your challenges. I will be listening without judging and exploring new possibilities, goals and next steps with you. Many people find talk therapy the key to feeling well and happy again. You can learn to replace fearfulness or feeling lost and live with more meaning & contentment. We can work briefly, as needed, or longer term - by Zoom/FaceTime or telephone.

I became a marriage counselor because I am pro-marriage & pro-family. I specialize in repairing marriages in crisis. I help people identify their relationship strengths and challenges and I give them the tools to restore their emotional connection. For couples on the brink of divorce, I offer the cutting-edge option of Discernment Counseling. This brief process helps couples develop clarity and confidence about how to move forward. I work with adults to solve personal, psychological, & relational issues including: Depression, Anxiety, Life Transition Issues, Grief Recovery, Parenting through Divorce and Divorce Recovery.

From over 30 years of experience, I bring a warm and interactive approach to helping you address emotional issue/s that interfere with living the life you'd like to live. These emotional issues could be depression, trauma, anxiety, divorce, grief, abuse, low-self esteem, etc. I draw from a host of treatment models that I believe will best suit your needs including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). One model is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that's particular helpful in facilitating resolution of issues in a shorter amount of time.

I am a clinical social worker passionate about helping people find ways to their best selves. I provide a safe and supportive environment for the client in search of self-understanding. I believe people have the capacity to feel content, grateful and joyful but a lot of the time our preconceived notions of ourselves get in the way. Everyday I am amazed at people's resilience.

My ideal client is a person who is seeking treatment and is aware of the reason why he/she/they want help. The person can be self-referred or referred by a provider, family, etc. The client is aware of their goals and objectives. The client is also okay with meeting weekly for 50 minutes and understands/agrees with the policies of the agency. The client is aware of and agrees with the limitations therapists have.

My ideal client is an adult who is facing challenges associated with depression, anxiety, life changes, and life stages. My client seeks to find joy in life and expand tools to meet the day's challenges. Another ideal client would be the neuroatypical person seeking to understand how to navigate a world they struggle to understand. This could include those on the autism spectrum or ADHD. Another ideal client would be seniors seeking to navigate the challenges of aging, including loss of jobs through retirement, changing health, or any other issue.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, or life changes? I can assist you with developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and utilizing tools to manage your mental health effectively. I aim to work with clients willing to help themselves and open to the therapeutic process. This mindset will allow us to build a positive therapeutic relationship that can bring about positive changes in their lives.

Accepting a limited number of new clients: I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker currently providing trauma-focused psychotherapy in the greater Boston area. I have experience working with children, families, and adults in individual and group settings for private practice, multi-service agencies, as well as in the home.

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.

This business of being human can be hard. We live in stressful times and its easy to get overwhelmed. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or challenges with substance abuse, I can help. I’m a licensed counselor, trained as an MBSR teacher by the UMass Center for Mindfulness with over a decade of experience practicing mindfulness meditation. I use a powerful combination of empathic listening, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based coping skills to help you make major and lasting change in your life.

A wise doctor once wrote: "It is more important to understand the person who has an illness than the illness a person has." This is even truer for emotional problems than physical ones. Likewise, without understanding the context of a person's life and family, past and present -- one cannot really begin to help the person. I have worked for many years with young men and women of all ages with addictions, family and relationship issues, and the universal challenges of depression and anxiety. Certainly there are commonalities among the problems they present, but it is the uniqueness of each of my patients that leads to change.

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I appreciate how core wounds, and the emotional distress surrounding them, can show up in adulthood and prevent us from living our happiest lives. My focus is on helping individuals to realize their power to feel safe in regulating emotions. In my work, I utilize approaches such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and enjoy the practice of destigmatizing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, thereby assisting my clients in developing self-compassion, a key ingredient for growth and change.
