Hello! I’m Tegan O’Neill, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I offer evidenced-informed therapy, with a special focus on supporting folks affected by cancer. My path to becoming a therapist in this space has been shaped by both my professional training and my own personal history with cancer. These experiences have not only deepened my understanding of what it means to heal, but also inspire a commitment to supporting others whose lives have been affected by cancer.

Hi! My name is Jesse and I am a white, queer, and non-binary LICSW and outpatient therapist. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing is an active, collaborative process—one built on creativity, evidence-based care, and authentic therapeutic connection.
I integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients processing trauma, anxiety, or experiences of feeling “stuck.”

Good psychotherapy helps you connect more deeply with what truly matters in your life. Feelings of being stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed can act as signals indicating a need for change. My role is to help you decode these signals, creating a collaborative environment apart from everyday life where we can understand them together, and to empower you to achieve the changes you desire. In addition to my private practice, I am Assistant Director for Psychotherapy Innovation at Mass General's outpatient substance use treatment facility and hold a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.

If you are a sensitive striver facing challenges related to anxiety, ADHD, or past traumatic experiences, I am here to help. Many of my clients are professionals and graduate students in service-oriented, ideal-motivated fields such as healthcare, non-profits and government, or academia. You may find yourself giving so much of yourself to others or to work, that your own well-being gets left behind. Or ADHD symptoms may be causing overwhelm and frustration, and you're ready to see if structured support could help you stick with your big dreams.

The decision to begin therapy can be challenging and can follow attempts to manage life circumstances independently. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which clients are encouraged to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive, nonjudgmental, and compassionate setting. I work with a diverse range of clients including college students, athletes, young professionals to high level executives, and parents. I have specialized expertise working with elite athletes, dancers, and other types of artists/performers on improving performance as well as treating mental health concerns.

Hope and growth. Two concepts I hold and explore when I meet with individual clients and couples. I seek to support clients with a humanistic, client-centered, strength-based approach as I help them identify and work toward achieving goals that may lead to living a more meaningful life, that are consistent with one’s value. I approach the therapy relationship with warmth, curiosity, and patience. I know it is not always easy to build trust and feel comfortable in the therapy space, and I’m committed to help clients achieve this comfort as their first step towards their own personal journey of growth.

Imagine sitting down on a cozy couch (mine just happens to be virtual) and having someone really listen, without judgment, without rushing you. Therapy can feel intimidating, but I feel it should feel more like a real conversation; where you can exhale, unpack what’s been weighing on you, and start finding your way forward.

Asking for help can feel daunting, as can finding the right provider. This can be especially true when navigating life’s challenges - personal, environmental, or socio-political.

I take a whole-health approach to treatment, recognizing that mental and physical health, identity, and environment are often inextricably intertwined.

Change is difficult. We often need someone we can trust to validate our struggles and nudge us forward. My clients feel some challenge, but are given realistic expectations, practical skills, and an open heart in return. They appreciate being held accountable while trusting they can safely make mistakes. Many find comfort in learning they have my unconditional support and that I breathe with them through distress.

Finding a therapist with the right experience and training isn't as easy. As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years of experience both doing therapy and teaching other therapists, I have worked with a variety of clients to improve their mood, relationships, and overall lives. I use a combination of evidence-supported techniques in therapy, and clients tend to find me when they are looking for a direct approach. I find that incorporating Zen philosophy into the process can help us remember that this moment is the most important time. As a Psypact therapist, I am licensed to see clients in multiple states.

Life gets hard at times with increasing demands and a finite amount of resources. As creatures of habit, we tend to get stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle. My clients come to me with a desire for REAL change. They may be managing long-standing mental health problems and/or new and chronic medical conditions. They also seek to improve their relationships and find out what makes their life worth living. In the end, my clients appreciate introspection and understanding the past, but believe that actual concrete change is needed.
