Therapists in Boston, MA

Have you thought about seeing a therapist, but the idea of talking to a stranger stops you from taking the next step? Perhaps you have needed this for a long time, and you have finally decided to take the next step? My style is warm, collaborative, and down to earth. Lets face it, we live in a stressful society where we need additional support. I know reaching out can be difficult so I try to make the process as simple as possible. You can call, email and/or text me to set up an appointment. I maintain a highly responsive, accessible, and concierge-type practice so you can have as much or little support you in along the way!

I am a Portuguese speaking therapist that empowers individuals to achieve their life goals. My passion to empower individuals has been the driving force behind my practice with a focus on working with persons across the lifespan who struggle with mood and substance abuse disorders, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work with clients to manage their mental health symptoms rather than be defined by them so that they may achieve balance. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, EMDR & EFT Therapist, and Reiki Practitioner I use a trauma-informed, somatic approach to therapy.

Hi all, my name is Gianpaul Hernandez, CEO of What Now Therapy LCSW-PLLC. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I heavily focus and specialize in ADHD/ADHD Coaching as well as Depression, Anxiety, trauma, life transitions, issues concerning self-esteem and assist you in finding the road to acceptance and healing. I provide a non-judgmental, safe, direct, educational and transparent environment so that you are able to express your concerns freely and comfortably. My goal is to empower you to develop the insight and learn the coping skills you may need to manage your challenges and achieve your goals.

Currently Accepting New Clients: I am a Bilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who speaks both English and my native language of French Creole. “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Normalcy is only judged by ourselves and within ourselves.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in trauma, transitions and transformations through Self Leadership. I assist clients in finding self-compassion, connection, and inner freedom. I am motivated to help people discover new and forgotten possibilities within themselves. I help clients trust themselves, learn from themselves, and live in harmony with their values and goals. This is accomplished in a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel supported and enabled to do their important work, as I believe all people are whole, capable and resourceful.

Whether working with a family, individual, and/or couples, I believe in a relational process in which finding a therapist that is a "good fit" as the groundwork for a supportive, transformative process. I believe that every individual has the ability to examine their life's journey and own their story; all while strengthening self compassion and working to navigate who and how to be in relationships. This along with growing to know, understand and accept oneself. Stepping into the therapeutic process is the first movement towards self discovery and growth.

I approach each client from a place of deep respect for their history,struggles and victories. Together we will clarify your reasons for seeking therapy, understand the source of your issues and develop strategies for recovery and relief. My style is interactive with an emphasis on caring and supportive feedback. I trust we can develop a treatment plan that is result oriented and differentiates between short and long-term goals. This will help make the therapeutic process cooperative and transparent so you will know when you have reached your personal goals and transformed the way you see yourself and the world.

Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors create our experiences. As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I feel that therapy is a process of creating change in those repetitive and maladaptive patterns leading to a better, more satisfying life. Therapy allows a person to explore and develop skills to effectively cope with personal and growth's transitions and challenges. I work with each individual on finding the right balance of mind, body, spirit connection that gives a person the ability to better assess for personal goals and plan for a more satisfying future.
