"I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse. I recognize the sensitive nature of these issues and the challenges these individual experience. I aim to provide an environment supportive for recovery and use empirically validated techniques to address trauma symptoms. I also work with individuals who need general mental health treatment, including difficulties with depression and anxiety. All services are available in English or Spanish. Additionally, I provide forensic services, including assessment and expert witness testimony. I specialize in the areas of interpersonal violence and abuse, trauma and Posttraumatic Stress d/o, and sexual abuse."

"Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first steps on your therapeutic journey! I am committed to helping my clients navigate the complexities of life. I strive to create a collaborative, warm, open environment in which clients can explore difficult issues with empathy, compassion, and, perhaps, a bit of humor. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to learn more about oneself, be heard and understood, and share sorrows, joys, and everything in between. It is a privilege to participate in my clients' journeys, and I take care to do so in a supportive, thoughtful manner tailored to each person's needs."

"I am trained in cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic treatment modalities and consider psychotherapy as both an opportunity to address and reduce suffering, and to engage in a process of personal education. My practice focuses on patients who are seeking an alliance in addressing their concerns and suffering as well as patients who are seeking and willing to re-learn and engage in self-exploration toward the ends of better adjustment, understanding and awareness."

"I offer support and guidance to empower the individual to overcome obstacles to success and improve quality of life by becoming more actively involved in pursuing life goals setting and making best choices even in the face of adversity."

"I am a Licensed Psychologist in private practice for 20+ years. I have an office in Boston and Acton where I see adolescent and adults for individual psychotherapy. I practice short- and longer-term therapy, with a focus on self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions and personal growth. I also work with people who want to increase their ability to manage anxiety and depression, loss, grief and loneliness, postpartum issues, gender and/or sexuality issues, career dilemmas, parenting and to generally improve their quality of life."

"Choosing to go to therapy is both a courageous and meaningful step in someone's life. In my experience, some clients enter treatment having a sense of what is troubling them and have made great efforts to resolve these difficulties, and yet these painful feelings persist. And other times, clients are only aware of the hurt they are feeling and are looking for ways to identify it's source and alleviate their discomfort. I have found that the therapeutic relationship can be helpful in both circumstances and seek to provide an approach that is best characterized by warmth, flexibility, openness, active engagement, and sensitivity."

"Please note that I am not currently accepting new patients. I provide psychotherapy for individual adults and have experience treating multiple issues, including anxiety, depression, eating/body image concerns, life transitions, and the effects of traumatic experiences. I also have a particular interest in working with those who have suffered from racism, homophobia, disability discrimination and other forms of oppression. My practice is sex-positive and kink- and poly-friendly."

"By the time people start therapy, they've often tried nearly everything to solve their problems on their own. I respect the hard work you may have already done -- and your courage in seeking more support. Therapy can help you free up the "stuck" places in your life. My approach is warm, open-minded, active, and empathic. My goals are to help you find more satisfaction in your work and relationships, feel more self-confidence and vitality, and live a happy, meaningful life. My priority is always to respect the pace and direction that is right for you."

"Clients that I work with are often in a place in life where they feel unseen, unheard, and disconnected. Therapy with me is a deeply connected and collaborative process. My goals are to establish trust and create a non-judgmental space in which my patients can feel truly seen and heard. I work to understand my clients from many contexts - there are so many layers to you and I value getting to know you from all perspectives - social, economic, racial, generational, and cultural."

"My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, and is influenced by the specific needs of each individual. My style is relational and incorporates elements of both psychodynamic (insight oriented) and cognitive behavioral therapy (skill building), as well as mindfulness. In my experience, I have found that long lasting effects come from working with and addressing both the current symptoms of distress as well as the underlying factors that have caused these feelings. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central, and value establishing a strong connection and working together in order to achieve personal changes."

"Do you wish you could feel more intimate with your partner? Has your sexual relationship lost it's passion & playfulness If so, call Suki Hanfling for a free 20min. phone consultation to explore whether couples/sex/tx. might be helpful. ISI staff treat sexual dissatisfaction and "dysfunction". Our approach emphasizes the individual growth of each partner and the enhancement of the relationship. Although there are multiple factors contributing to most difficulties, we begin by addressing the immediate causes: communication difficulties, being "time starved" and performance anxiety. When indicated, therapy can then focus on complex causes, such as trust, control, and intimacy."

"Are you feeling stuck and repeating patterns that you want to change? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, addictive habits or relationship difficulties, we will work together to help you create greater ease, health and joy in your life. The key to change is greater awareness of what you are doing, why you keep doing it, and learning how to meet your needs through more beneficial behaviors. My lively therapeutic style is interactive, compassionate, practical, and sometimes even fun."

"I provide consultation and psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults. My expertise includes helping individuals with mood issues, anxiety in response to life stressors, relationship difficulties, and developmental concerns. I also work with parents and families toward more meaningful and sustaining interactions. "Goodness of fit" is important in psychotherapy, and I integrate insight-oriented approaches, collaborative and developmental interventions, and skills-based approaches to meet your specific needs."

"You are good at your job so more and more is expected of you; or there is an invisible ceiling capping your success. Complex decisions and pressure for results leave little room for error. Interpersonal dynamics need improvement, whether with your boss, your team, or other stakeholders.Your personal life is suffering from the sacrifices you make at work. Stress is taking a toll. The perils of succeeding in a complex, fast-moving and ever-changing environment brings forth both the [considerable] talent and resources of a given individual (or team), and their fault-lines."

"There is no way to adequately describe the experience of living with depression and anxiety. For the roughly 13% of Americans who suffer from these conditions, everyday activities, such as going to work, speaking in class - even meeting friends for dinner - can become agonizing challenges accompanied by a host of negative physical and emotional symptoms. Perhaps you've noticed your face burning when you speak in public; have felt like an impostor at work and wait to be "found out;" or maybe you've experienced a surge of panic (racing-heart, trouble breathing, dizziness, nausea) when you least expected it?"

"I provide short and long-term client-centered therapy that emphasizes support, resilience, and meaningful change. Using a variety of theoretical frameworks including psychodynamic therapy (insight-oriented), cognitive-behavioral therapy (skill-building), and other evidence-based treatments, we will collaboratively develop a therapy plan tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe that therapy is not just about treating the immediate challenges and stresses of life, but finding and addressing the root causes of these problems in order to make a long-lasting, positive change."

"I believe people have the innate capacity for tremendous psychological growth and the ability to solve their life problems, but I also know that our problems are complex and difficult to solve alone. I work collaboratively with my patients to develop the trust and safety necessary to find the root of their problems and make meaningful changes. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, stress-related problems, grief, relationship issues, identity development, and family of origin problems."
