Therapists in Boston, MA

Beginning therapy can be an overwhelming and vulnerable process. If you have found yourself here, know that you have already taken courageous steps towards a healthier self. I believe that within every individual is the capacity to change and heal yourself-I am simply a facilitator of that process. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to the process and am intentional about ensuring clients feel safe and connected. My approach to therapy is personalized and emphasizes a strengths-based, client centered approach while maintaining unconditional positive regard as we set out to empower you to work towards your goals.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker specializing in mental health treatment. My hope as a therapist is to help you feel confident in your identity and find a community that loves you unconditionally. I will help you decrease your anxiety, release guilt and shame, and learn new rituals to replace the ones that no longer serve you as you begin to live a life full of meaning and purpose. Together, we will process religious, physical, or emotional trauma holding you back from the job, relationships, or life you truly desire.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 35 years providing services to children, adolescents and adults which are individualized , adaptive, and strength based . I have an integrative approach , using modalities in which I have received extensive training : EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Hypnotherapy, all of which incorporate a trauma informed dimension. In addition, I received a Post Graduate Certification in Addiction: Evaluation and Treatment from Boston University. Woven through my work is my meditation practice ( Vipassana) of 20 years.

Individuals, couples or families I counsel are motivated to reach their potential, build a healthy and meaningful life and make a positive impact. I help people who have had some success in personal or professional life but struggle with anxiety, stress, ambivalence, fear, conflict or difficult relationships is holding them back. Couples I work with want a thriving relationship but struggle with communication, deeper connection, shared reality or intimacy. Families want harmony but struggle with conflict, disconnection and/or a member with a mental/physical health problem.

In my work as a therapist I seek to create an environment that is caring and supportive while allowing us to identify opportunities for growth and healing. My approach emphasizes skill-building, increasing insight and helping you to return to a life that is balanced, healthy and productive. I believe that with the right fit therapy can be rewarding and even life-changing. I work collaboratively with clients to reduce distress and emotional pain related to issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns among others.

When our working life and/or our relationships do not give us a sense of vitality and purpose, this is a sign that we have become disconnected from parts of ourselves. I work with individuals and couples to help them get closer to themselves. This helps them get closer to others and to work they find meaningful. I encourage my clients to follow one rule and one rule only: to describe whatever comes to their mind. It is not easy to do! What helps is that there are two of us deeply involved in this dialogue, observing together, exploring more deeply, Slowly, it becomes easier, and the easier it becomes the more likely it is that feelings and thoughts are meeting on new ground. Psychotherapy can be an unforgettable journey of discovery, a way to restore meaning, vitality and purpose. I invite those who want to explore the possibilities to meet in a safe place for inner exploration-- my Brookline office--easy access to the T and parking.

I see therapy as a collaborative process in which I listen to how you want to move forward with your goals. I always take time to really hear how you, as an individual or couple, want to make changes and respect your own choices in your life. We sometimes find ourselves repeating negative patterns or stuck in challenging situations but have difficulty knowing how to make lasting changes. Therapy can help make this clearer.

I am the founder and principal therapist of Nova Psychotherapy. I provided individual psychotherapy to adults looking to stablish a long term therapeutic relationship. I draw from several psychodynamic theories to help patients develop a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships, create more positive patterns in how they relate to others, and experience personal growth. I have extensive experience working with college students and young professionals. I am passionate about working with a multicultural population. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and can provide therapy in both languages.

Have you found yourself spiraling lately in anxieties, doubts, & shame?: "I'm worried that things won't work out," "I feel overwhelmed," "Why do I sometimes avoid doing things that I know are good & healthy for me?" "I can't seem to find the motivation to do much of anything these days," "There must be something wrong with me." "Will I ever be able to change & improve my situation?" "Can talking to a professional actually help?" Feeling trapped in these loops of anxieties & doubts can often feel exhausting, discouraging, & isolating.

The clients I tend to work well with come in for a variety of reasons, but the common piece is their willingness to work toward their goals. This could mean increasing self-esteem, improving interpersonal relationships, and much more.

People start therapy for every reason imaginable, and I consider it a privilege to be able to sit alongside someone as they navigate whatever brought them through my door. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. I believe in each person’s ability to heal their relationship with food and their body. I also see clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I specialize in treating children, teenagers, and adults with OCD, anxiety, and related issues (including "Pure O" OCD,). I approach these issues using a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with an emphasis on how chronic worry drives anxiety. This approach to treatment is a time-limited, systematic, yet gentler approach to exposure. I also see people with a variety of other concerns, including mood, relationships, and parenting issues. I am currently a psychologist with OCD Associates, an entirely telehealth practice. For more information please visit ocdassociates.com

Currently accepting telehealth/online clients! I'm a LICSW that works with individuals suffering from addictions and other life challenges.

The emergence of emotional, relational, or physical distress, can signal that your organism is asking for a change. As a psychologist I will be there for you to provide a reflective support through that change. You will find in me an ally in your journey towards recovery or development.

I am a clinical health psychologist who specializes in treating people coping with anxiety, chronic pain, stress, medical issues, mood disorders, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. I believe that each person is unique, and therefore no one approach is right for everyone. I strive to integrate a variety of techniques and perspectives from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness based therapies, relaxation training, biofeedback, clinical hypnotherapy, and supportive therapy to create a treatment that is tailored to the individual I am working with.

Accepting new patients.... It is through therapy that we come to understand how our experiences make our lives meaningful. Choosing a therapist isn't an easy task; I hope sharing my perspective helps. Over the last decade I have worked at universities, elementary schools, rehabilitation centers and group homes with children and adults from 7-70. These experiences have shown me that the right environment activates our innate capacity to mature and thrive. Therapy is not about "fixing" someone, it's about creating a space that supports growth.

My focus as your therapist is to guide you in experiencing less negative emotion, gaining a better understanding of your feelings and how to navigate them, and living a more joy-filled existence. The narratives that we tell ourselves influence our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, intentions and actions in the world. Part of the work we will do together is to look at these narratives that inform your experience and dismantle the stories rooted in past experiences and fear.
