UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Acton, MA

Many of us experience moments that challenge our thoughts, emotions and spirit. These experiences may cause us to bury emotions which often present in unhealthy behaviors, most times outside of our awareness. I aim to hold a compassionate space with you, to nurture vulnerable parts and to foster healing.

***Please note I am currently at capacity and cannot accommodate new referrals*** 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.

*Email is the best form of contact* I believe that effective therapy starts with a good working relationship, so I strive to provide an environment that is safe, empathetic and free of judgement. I have over a decade of experience working with people who experience a wide range of mental health issues and life stressors, including mental health professionals who experience fatigue. I enjoy helping people tap into their ability to alleviate distress and manage negative emotions in a healthy way.

I am a very seasoned therapist taking an eclectic approach to helping my clients live happier lives. I have spent almost 40 years studying various techniques to help clients accept all aspects of themselves and live freely. Anxiety, OCD, depression and past programming can be challenging to overcome and I am here to be a listening ear and teacher. I have studied mindfullness, meditation, and am a certified yoga teacher. I teach my clients hands on techniques for self acceptance and personal growth and developement. See sacksandassociatescounseling to purchase my book and seminars. These are helpful tools combined with your therapy.

I am an experienced, caring and active therapist committed to helping people move towards change. Creating a trusting and safe relationship is a crucial first step and I aim to develop a comfortable and positive rapport. I have a lot of skills and effective approaches and will create an individualized treatment plan to best address your issues. I work with adults and teenagers with a variety of problems. Some of my work is short-term, targeting specific symptoms such as headaches or anxiety. Other clients benefit from more on-going exploration to address such problems as relationship difficulties or self-esteem issues.

I’ve helped many adults and children seeking support during times of transition, emotional confusion or family stress. People in my practice are looking to improve relationships, enjoy school or be the best parents they can be. Some of my clients struggle to understand their reactions to life and explain themselves clearly and effectively to others. I bring a focus on neurodiversity throughout the life span and offer supportive psychotherapy to both children and adults.

Impediments to happiness are worth exploring. Whether the goal is to better your life, improve your relationship, or become a better parent, change is always possible. Relying predominantly on cognitive behavioral strategies, I'll work with you to alter unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior, and so change the way you feel. Where appropriate, a psychodynamic approach can uncover patterns influenced by unconscious thought. Many personal troubles are the result of mental processes that are hidden from us - developing insight can allow you to process vulnerable or painful feelings and begin changing those patterns.

I am skilled at treating clients with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety problems, couples issues, sexual issues, substance abuse and relationship issues. My clients tend to find it very easy to open up to me and build rapport. I see therapy as a collaboration between myself and the client. It is important we both work together to help resolve your issues.

Hi there, and good for you for reaching toward self-care. We are effectively the CEOs of the business of living and the farmers of the plot of being that is the self. Effectively managing our resources and learning to honor the natural rhythms and cycles of life is a cultivated skill. My goal as a practitioner is to support you to utilize your strengths and address your challenges. The most dynamic step we can take toward well-being is to ask for help and be open to collaboration.

Sometimes we face complex situations that affect our functioning. Day-to-day conflicts affect us all, forcing us to act, sometimes in a rash manner. It doesn't matter how different we are; how different our past and upbringings are. Everyone, at some point in our lives, needs help and support to stabilize our emotions and make the best decisions that allow us to live fulfilling lives. I enjoy helping/guiding people to find and define their path to emotional well-being by providing a safe, nurturing, and positive therapeutic space.

Hello and welcome. It is never easy making the choice to begin therapy. Confiding in someone you don't know takes a lot of courage. With so many professionals out there, it can feel daunting and overwhelming to try and find the right person. A person you feel comfortable with, a place where you feel respected, a space of trust and safety. When I meet with a new client, my priority is to make sure you feel safe, respected, and heard. By working together, you will realize you are not alone.

My first priority as your therapist is to provide an environment in which you can speak freely about your concerns while I listen and reflect back to you in a non-judgemental and compassionate way. You may need new coping skills, new perspectives or a way to heal beyond old difficulties that remain unresolved. I will help you clarify what your intentions are and help you to be more compassionate with yourself during the process. One of the goals is to be more content and more at peace with yourself and in your relationships with others.

There are times that we need to connect with someone, to feel heard and to be respected. I will encourage you to grow to trust yourself and the decisions that you are about to make. My experience in working with people is focused on empowerment. I want to help you create a sense of certainty in your progress forward. Most who come through my door are seeking a place to be themselves, as flawed and misunderstood as they may feel. Outsiders find themselves worthy and cared for here.
