Therapists in Auburn, MA

My ideal client is someone who is struggling, perhaps for a long time, or perhaps in a new way they never have before. They know something needs to change but they might be unsure of exactly what or how to go about changing it. They are looking for a partner who will understand them deeply and help them see their situation and themselves with fresh eyes. They are committed to self-examination and are curious about how the past and present, the mind and body, the theoretical and practical, all interact. They like honest dialogue and have a good sense of humor even in the face of life's sometimes very serious challenges.

I believe it takes a village to raise a family, work, get a higher education; but for some of us, we don't have a village. We don't have support from the people in our lives that should be there to support us when we need it. This lack of support can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, stuck; and for those of us suffering from additional stressors such as mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, lack of work, grief, chronic illness, relationship problems, it can feel very lonely.
