Out of Network Therapists in Arlington, MA

You want to feel better and do better in your life, and now, perhaps more than ever, you need someone – someone REALLY helpful – “in your corner” to help you turn things around. I’m willing and able to do just that. Together, we can do this: I use a range of solution-focused approaches: treatments that work (CBT, DBT, and whatever else works). We’ll figure out exactly how you’ve “gotten here,” plan a way out, and I’ll guide you along the way…as we activate your strengths and your inner resources to live a better life. I work with adults, teens, and families and I’m available immediately to give you the help you need and deserve.

I work with adults with diverse backgrounds and identities who have experienced trauma, loss, difficulties in relationships, or difficulties with self-esteem, anxiety, and stress. I see therapy as an opportunity to enhance joy, spontaneity, meaning, and connection to yourself and others. It’s ideally an inviting, open, and safe place to explore your sense of your identity, and to learn about yourself in the context of a relationship.

I enjoy providing evidence-based psychotherapy for adults and youth with anxiety, OCD, depression, and ADHD, among other mental health conditions. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Ohio University, and I completed my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowships at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I also currently consult at The Pavilion at McLean Hospital and am a Lecturer in Psychology at Harvard Medical School.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice for 20 years. I work with individuals and couples, treating such issues as depression, anxiety, trauma, couples and family issues and relationship challenges. I offer an initial free interview that enables you to interview me and talk about why you are looking for therapy.

You thought you would have it all figured out by now but you are finding out day to day that is not the case. You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm and not exactly sure what direction to go in. I give my clients hands on tools and guidance to support them on their journey of self awareness, discovery, and mastery.

In my practice I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based model to help clients increase awareness and develop strategies to feel more successful in their lives. My therapeutic approach is overall eclectic, drawing on my training in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). As an LMHC with a Master's Degree in Art Therapy, I also incorporate expressive therapy when beneficial. In all of my work, I aim to focus my approach depending on the needs of the client I am working with.

I provide a therapeutic space where clients can begin to look at relationships, beliefs, values and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. I approach the sessions with warmth and humor and my hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease.

Ambivalence about change is a universal human experience. It is challenging to question the parts of ourselves that are no longer serving us, and invite space for something novel. In therapy with me, we will reflect upon the aspects of your life that are working for you, and places where you feel stagnant, dissatisfied, or empty. Even the parts of yourself that feel the most frustrating, hindering, or harmful have arisen in attempts to help you. We will explore all of these parts with openness, curiosity and wonder.

Hello, my name is Jen and I have a deep respect for all who seek support through counseling. It is my experience that no one lives their best life alone. Connection has the capacity to offer regulation and engender strength. In our work together I hope to create an environment that feels safe. I will strive to assist you in moving toward experiencing yourself as a trustworthy source of guidance. Many of us are wounded children walking around in adult bodies. When appropriate I place importance in discovering connections between early childhood trauma and life's current unease as as a means to heal these wounds.
