Therapists in Beverly, MA

We may encounter many challenges along our path. Challenges may include loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma and mood disruption. At times, we can manage these challenges on our own. At other times, working with someone can be of benefit - perhaps even a necessity - allowing us to understand and move through the challenge; reconnect with ourselves and others and generally function better in the world. As a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I offer my knowledge, skill, curiosity and compassion in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment to support you and/or family members in this process.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and the owner of Therapy For Intentional Living, Inc.(Tili) Tili is a group practice that I started in 2009. We have locations in Salem, Marblehead and Beverly and are a team of 15 therapists and nurse practitioners. We help people with a lot of issues that may be keeping them from their preferred way of being. Please see our website at www.therapyforintentionalliving.com for more information.

I am a seasoned, licensed psychologist who specializes in the treatment of people experiencing life/career stress, chronic pain, substance abuse, anxiety and/or depression. I treat adults, couples and families. I was the Chief Psychologist for the Lahey Pain Management Center in Danvers, Mass for 5 years and led a free chronic pain support group at Lahey- Beverly Hospital for 7 year.s I have written 2 books (one second edition), have had an American Psychological Association certificate for treating people with mixed substance use/abuse-dependence and am on the allied health courtesy staff at BI-Lahey-Beverly Hospital.

Hello! I am currently offering telehealth services for clients; primarily young adults and adults. I specialize in helping clients cope with and manage anxiety, depression, mood or emotional dysregulation, and interpersonal or family conflict related issues. Techniques I explore include: CBT, motivational exercises, expressive based techniques, & humor! My goal in working with you is to establish a safe and empathic relationship, work to find a clearer understanding of your current difficulties, reduce & improve symptom management; strive for balance and acceptance in your life, and experience an overall improved quality of life.

I have 15 years experience working with individuals and families battling confusing effects of substance use. I provide an environment free of pressure or judgement for exploring how substance use impacts your life, as an individual or a family member. We will navigate through the unpredictable and difficult circumstances life can bring. This relationship provides support and self-knowledge as we learn how we can contribute to solutions and/or problems. Learning concrete education, skills and tools to handle people, places and situations will help to move forward in our lives, resulting in increased self-confidence and serenity.

If you are reading this, it is your first step toward making permanent, positive life changes. Perhaps you are questioning some of your life choices; wondering how you got where you are at this point in your life; or someone you love is struggling and you want to help. Maybe past attempts have not worked out. Professional counseling can enhance almost any life situation and circumstance by first helping you to get clear on what you want or need to change, and what you are willing and able to do to make these changes. The first step is the hardest.

Are you experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, or having conflicts in your relationships? Do you have a teen or young adult child that is struggling at home and/or school? It can be overwhelming to know where to start when wanting to make positive changes in our lives. Building the self-confidence to accomplish your goals or even knowing what they are can feel impossible. If you are ready to begin working through the challenges you are facing and improve your quality of life, you have already made the biggest step. I offer practical tools while working towards a deeper emotional healing to promote lasting change.

Life can be difficult, at times we may feel out of control, overwhelmed, saddened or haunted by our past, or nervous about our future. These feelings can cause feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. I offer clients a safe and welcoming space to explore these feelings. Therapy can assist you in healing by resolving previous emotional conflicts, finding a new self perspective, and gaining new insight to gain relief from difficult emotions. I work with young and middle aged adults to navigate memories of childhood traumas/neglect that won't budge, relationship difficulties/break-ups, life transitions, and losses.

I understand that life presents us with numerous obstacles and taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe environment to explore and manage life’s challenges. In this sense I will help you work to move forward to create lasting change in your life. I welcome the opportunity to work with you in a supportive and collaborative way. I provide brief and long-term therapy to adults; my treatment specialties include: addiction, anxiety, anger management, as well as life transitions and relationship issues.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, pragmatic, and theoretically grounded in the biopsychosocial model. When assessing clients and their treatment needs, I recognize individuals are embedded within a complex web of social relationships and are influenced by larger political, economic, and environmental forces.
