Adults Therapists in Boston, MA

One of the most important things you can do is start the journey to understanding and living your own truth. This is a guiding force in my practice. My name is Kelly Broderick and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts and a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina. I have over ten years of experience working with individuals and groups in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. I have significant experience from my forensic background, working in specialized prisons and outpatient work with vulnerable populations.

Starting a therapeutic journey can be hard, so I strive to understand my clients first and foremost to ensure their process is as smooth, comfortable, and rewarding as possible. My approach as a therapist is to put my clients back in charge of their lives. I have experience working with people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic classes, and religions. I enter each counseling session with an open mindset and provide a safe space for all. I help clients work through difficulties related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, ASD and ADHD, executive functioning, anger, grief, and many other challenges faced.

**Note--Currently I am providing only video telehealth therapy, no in person sessions.** As a licensed, clinical psychologist, I provide individual, group and couples psychotherapy to adolescents and adults to provide support to them in overcoming life obstacles and achieving their goals.

Kimberly Wabik is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Trauma Specialist who has 10 years of experience partnering with youth, young adults , retired persons, and all ages in between.

You’re constantly procrastinating and feel dread about even the little things because it’s all too much. You spend your time doing everything for everyone else, while neglecting yourself and never feeling like you have done enough. You worry that the plates in the air will fall, and everyone will realize you are incapable and incompetent. You feel like you are failing at everything, when, in fact, you’re killing it. It feels like a hard life is your destiny because of the trauma in your past. You want to break the cycle of that generational trauma, but you don’t know where to start. Sound familiar?

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults , couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides individual therapy for adults and adolescents. I use various approaches in counseling to meet a client’s goals and aspirations.

I have been a Boston clinician since 1975. My training is pyscho dynamic. I work with individuals and couples in short and long term therapy. I have worked in several area hospitals running structured addiction outpatient programs. I see adults with poly drug use. Many of my short and long term adult patients come in with relationship issues that may have a physiological, drug, clinical depression or anxiety component.

Feel that traditional therapy is not for you? Jonathan started YouTime Coaching 12 years ago with an ambitious core belief: if you provide compassionate support, positive modeling, and skillful accountability, personal growth and change are very possible. We've had major success working with many young people, adults , and families when it comes to academic/work struggles, transitional challenges, focus/attention issues, communication, motivation, performance enhancement, and self-confidence.

I believe that it takes strength and courage to seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore attitudes and beliefs /patterns which get in the way of accomplishing your full potential and engaging fully in of life. I utilize a more holistic, mind-body approach to treatment, weaving together techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IFS, mindfulness/acceptance and yoga therapy to connect you with your "true, inner self", something which we often lose touch with as we go about our lives in this often fast-paced, unpredictable and stressful world. I am also certified in EMDR (www.emdria.org)

At times, we can become stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving, and feel held back by our doubts and fears. In therapy, I provide a welcoming and collaborative space to examine these experiences and build upon your strengths and skills to help you live the life you want. Together, we will identify your goals and values, expand your understanding of yourself and others, and work toward meaningful change. I specialize in working with young adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity development, academic and career challenges, and adjustment to life transitions.

There’s no one therapeutic approach to help us live happier lives. Recovery from painful experiences, emotional or physical abuse, a complicated hurt-filled relationship, impasses at work, coping mechanisms that no longer help—these different challenges deserve flexible approaches. Childhood skills no longer fit the problems we face as adults . Grief that couldn’t be dealt with then is more complicated now. Relief from depression and anxiety cannot work if confidence, strength, and intimacy are blocked. Understanding the whole person—creating new approaches and thoughtful solutions to problems—is the way I think and work.

Do anxious or depressed feelings interfere with your plans for that new job, new living situation or getting and keeping healthy supportive relationships? Do you find yourself distracted and know there are things you just keep putting off? I work with adults who are motivated to make internal changes that lead to external results in their lives. My clients are no longer willing to remain stuck with old thought patterns and behaviors that limit them. Clients report that our work together is insightful, exciting and important.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychotherapy for adults with problems coping with trauma, perinatal and reproductive mental health, anxiety, relationship issues, and general life stressors. My therapeutic approach is personalized to address each individual's strengths, needs, and goals but grounded in gold standard, empirically-based treatment approaches. Finding the right therapist can be a difficult process - and it's important to find the right "match," both in terms of style and specialization. I offer free initial phone sessions so that we can discuss your needs and assess this fit.
