Harvard Pilgrim Therapists in Boston, MA

Hello! My name is Christina Perez. My passion has always been to help improve the lives of others. After completing my undergraduate in Psychology, I decided to pursue my Master's in Social Work. I have experience with substance use disorders, mental health, PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma.

Life is forever changing; the only constant is change. Managing change can be overwhelming, and it can be challenging to be the best you possible within that change. Sometimes, you need support around those challenges you are going through. In our work together, we will explore these changes and everything that comes with them to make you more confident in your ever-evolving world. In safe, warm, and work a judgment free pace. I earned my master in mental health counseling and art therapy in 2015 from Lesley University. Since graduation, I have worked in multiple different types of settings with very diverse populations. I believe

Are you tired of living life in autopilot? Are you sick of the mundane routine that has become your day to day? Do you find yourself feeling alone or unable to connect with others? Group therapy offers a chance to change things up. Each group is its own little safe haven designed to release difficult emotions and gain different perspectives from the one that keeps us stuck. Let me help you clear out the cobwebs of your life! As a group leader, my goal is to create a warm environment that fosters real human connection that leaves you feeling like you are part of something bigger than yourself.

I am currently accepting new referrals for evening telehealth appointments through Sondermind. If you are interested in becoming a client, please email me with your name, preferred email address and what you are hoping to accomplish through therapy.

Are you or someone you know feeling "stuck" and/or struggling with life, work, family, or your identity? I specialize in supporting youth, college, professionals, and mature adults living and working in the Greater Boston area. I will help you identify your triggers and/ or barriers and support you with creating an action plan to problem-solve solutions to help you move forward to live happier and more successfully. I accept BlueCross Blue Shield, Aetna, and most MassHealth plans.

Welcoming NEW patients for individual psychotherapy! Please call 617-600-4249 for appointments. As a therapist, I have made it a priority to create a therapeutic environment where patients feel like they are part of a collaborative effort during their treatment. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I utilize DBT, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health challenges, including substance use, and addictions. I believe in meeting people where they are in order to guide them towards self-awareness.

Therapy works best as a partnership between the client and the therapist. Research shows a good therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of success in therapeutic work. I use this in my approach to make therapy safe, validating, and collaborative. Therapy should be a space not only to work on challenges but a place to celebrate success and joy.

Dedicating time and attention to our own needs can feel overwhelming for so many of us. My goal is to support and challenge you as you jump into the journey of self-advocacy and compassion. I work alongside you as you come through the moments that feel endless, the emotions that feel confusing, and the thoughts that feel overpowering. Together, we can identify strategies to find clarity within your emotions.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, combining elements of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness-based techniques and motivational interviewing. My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, respectful, and adaptable. I always strive to create a therapeutic experience that feels relevant and custom-tailored to my clients. I also hold certifications as a Financial Wellness Facilitator and am a Certified Wellness Practitioner with the National Wellness Institute.

You deserve to feel better. You are capable of learning to create the life you have always envisioned. If you have found yourself struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, using substances more than before, relationship or work issues, coping with loss or a family member with addiction issues, and other life stressors I would like to help you express yourself, learn new coping strategies, and ultimately improve your life.

The decision to engage in therapy is the first step in making a commitment to yourself towards healing. Congratulations. My work offers clients the opportunity to discuss life issues that are challenging to them and working towards a solution based focus of resolution that will bring them to inner peace and strength. This process is interactive and collaborative.

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.

I provide individual psychotherapy, cognitive remediation/executive functioning therapy, and neuropsychological assessment services for adults and adolescents (16+). My clinical specialties include attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety- and mood disorders, academic/learning-related challenges, sleep disorders, and career dissatisfaction. I work best with goal-oriented clients who are looking to develop insight into their emotions, adopt healthy coping strategies, and process complex experiences through deliberative, rational contemplation.
