Hello! Kimina Counseling is a small group practice, serving adolescents and adults in Central Massachusetts. We understand that reaching out for support can be intimidating, and want to help make this process a comfortable one. Exploring your options for therapy is the first step of your healing journey, and we are ready and committed to going on that path with you. We believe that all individuals are doing the best they can with the skills they have in any given moment and our relational approach emphasizes genuine connection between our therapists and the clients we serve.

Hello! I have over a decade of experience treating adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, attachment disorders, PTSD and complex trauma. I believe that all people are doing the best they can in any given moment with the skills they have. Sometimes, trauma or distressing thoughts, events or memories get "stuck" and don't respond as well as you'd hope to treatment. EMDR allows people to heal from these disturbances at an accelerated rate that typically takes patients years to achieve through helping the client's mind heal itself. EMDR is not only for trauma, but treats many mental health symptoms.

Life often throws curveballs and learning new ways to respond to stress can be one of the most important things we can do. I enjoy building relationships and watching others develop the skills they need to successfully overcome their challenges in life. Therapeutic work can be difficult, but I've found that a good sense of humor can go a long way.

Stress management is a goal for many of us. Whether your stress is related to challenges in intimate relationships, parenting, or a traumatic event, together we will work to enhance your competence in identifying causes of stress in your life, recognizing how you experience stress, and practicing self-regulation strategies.

I work with children, adolescents and adults to promote learning, healing and growing. As a Client of mine, we focus on your strengths while we work towards managing your setbacks, pressures, and losses that life presents. I would support you to cope emotionally and rationally with these challenges. To build your resilience and power, I listen openly to who you are and who you want to become while gently pointing out reality .

I work with any age level, from 4 years old, with or without parents, and adults. I work from a heart-centered, client-focused approach. My background is in dance/movement therapy, focusing, and body-oriented psychotherapies. I have years of experience working with young children with emotional and behavioral issues, their families, and adult individuals.

I have been a counselor in private practice for over twenty years, and with my wife of thirty years, Marcia, have been helping individuals and couples and leading groups. I can take highly motivated individuals and couples very far in their growth and healing with the help of some highly refined tools which I teach them to use. I also possess a deeply caring relational presence that allows people to feel safe and trusting and to enter fully into their inner world. I have a great love for couples and yearn for relationships to reach their full potential.

My passion is treating individuals suffering from chronic pain, whether from trauma or illness. Chronic pain has a serious impact on emotional health and may cause psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Through a variety of treatment modalities, my goal is to help improve my clients' emotional well-being and achieve the best possible outcome given their unique life circumstances. None of us have control over the challenges which we confront, but I aim to help my clients reframe the way they deal with their struggles so that they regain a sense of mastery over their emotional health.

Life is full of seasons. Some seasons are more turbulent than others. Do you find that you’re losing sleep, or worrying more than usual? Maybe your usual hobbies have taken a backseat, or you’re spending more time alone. You may be struggling with other health issues, or have started ignoring them. Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!

Accepting new daytime clients for telehealth. Seeking out help and treatment can be an intimidating process, especially when you are already struggling. I strive to create a safe, supportive and accepting environment to help heal and grow to reach your full potential. My passion is working with people who have endured a traumatic loss of a spouse or child, as well as women and couples dealing with an infertility diagnosis and who are seeking counseling to help build their family.

I don't have an ideal client; people are who they are, with whatever issues they're dealing with. Of course, for any therapy to work, people need to want things to be different, and to be willing to change what they're doing in order to attain that.

*Accepting new clients for daytime hours only. Return clients welcome. Please Email.* The most important thing to me is helping people reach their individualized healthy balance of clinical, emotional and personal goals in life. I pride myself in helping people to trust their mind, body (gut) and soul for positive changes. The biggest changes sometimes can be as simple as changing one or a few small realistic detail(s) on a very consistent basis, regardless of the topic. Therapy is a journey as unique as each individual and will be treated as such.
