Divorce Therapists in Cambridgeport, Cambridge, MA

I welcome people from all walks of life and with all kinds of issues into my practice. Some people come to see me for a particular problem, like anxiety or depression; others are simply looking to understand themselves better. I see many college and graduate students who are looking for support as they face academic stress, relationship issues, and the question of what to do after graduation. I also work with women at various life stages who are struggling to balance competing demands, or who may be facing specific challenges like relationship issues, divorce , or infertility.

I have worked as a clinician in mental health for over 25 years. I have dedicated myself to child welfare and have a specialty in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, adoption, attachment, Bipolar and addictions. I take a supportive approach to my client work so they are able to arrive at healthy solutions. I also have experience in family therapy taking a family systems approach to the work. My practice is located in the center of Medford and is easily accessible by public transportation. The staff in the office are all welcoming and there is a play space for children.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you feel "not good enough"? Do you think you don't even know HOW to have fulfilling relationships? I work with individuals and couples so that they can communicate more effectively, create more satisfying relationships, and feel better in their own skin. It can be especially challenging to maintain healthy relationships and self esteem if your are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting, a high pressured job, or a recent loss. I can help.

I provide individual psychotherapy and have experience working with people who struggle with a variety of life challenges and emotional concerns including relationship issues, work and academic struggles, family difficulties, codependence, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. My practice welcomes adults with all gender identities and diverse backgrounds. I specialize primarily in psychodynamic and psychoanalytically-oriented therapy and integrate different treatment approaches, when appropriate, to address the unique needs and concerns of each person.

Choosing wellness can be a daunting and overwhelming task. Asking for help can feel scary and anxiety provoking, sometimes we doubt our capacity to change. Therapy is an essential tool we will use to disentangle your life and relationships while building clarity and self-awareness. Committing to wellness and making room for subtle change will alter your life as you know it. Strengthening a relationship with yourself will naturally inspire and deepen your connections to others. I look forward to getting to know you. Congratulations on taking this first step towards relief.

I am a British Psychotherapist, passionate about psychotherapy and the impact it can have on society. My passion for psychotherapy stems from my own experiences with therapy and the powerful impact it made on my own life as well as those around me that I hope to bring into my work. I have a reflective style that I bring into the therapeutic environment in order to achieve deeper and more authentic connections with my clients.

I have 20 years experience working with eating disorders - including Binge Eating Disorder - depression, anxiety and trauma. I treat adults, adolescents and families. I started The Burlington Eating Disorders Center in Vermont in 1991 and have helped many individuals overcome their eating disorders -- I use a team approach with nutritionists, family therapists, PCP's and psychiatrists. I have been a counselor or student affairs officer at several NE colleges including Middlebury College and UVM. I have worked with many survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and harassment through my former position at the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response at Harvard University.

We may have the impression that the experience of time is too short to grasp and adjust to the continuous flow of changes and losses occurring in life. When reporting our life stories, the task of maintaining their cohesion is often far from easy, appeasing and satisfactory. It is my belief that therapy can offer us the opportunity to revisit, expand, rewrite or add new narratives that will support our journey towards more successful identities, relationships and endeavors.

As a clinical social worker, I provide counseling to adolescents and adults seeking therapy for a number of reasons such as depression, anxiety, past history of abuse/trauma, and relationship issues. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, community and college counseling centers, in residential facilities, and in private practice.

My therapy work is largely focused on people actively engaged in affecting the world around them; including those active in social change efforts; entrepreneurs; and researchers, teachers, and technical and supervisory professionals. I help those concerned about promoting social change to work on their personal issues in a climate supportive of their activism. I am also aware of the difficulties researchers and other professionals sometimes feel in psychotherapy that may feel alien. I bring this awareness to therapy, while helping those involved in administrative roles navigate the complexities of working with others who sometimes have very different personal styles.

Welcome! It's wonderful that you are considering therapy, and I am here to help. I believe we are capable of far more than we realize. I think of myself as a guide to self-discovery and self-realization. Through couples and individual therapy I have successfully helped people significantly improve their relationships, decrease conflict, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive patterns such as alcoholism and eating disorders. Working together I have also helped people enhance their self-esteem, communication, boundaries, and helped people work through loss, trauma, school and career difficulties.

Effective therapy creates meaningful, lasting, joyful change. As your therapist I can help you resolve the inner and outer conflicts that create pain and exhaustion. Life brings unchosen experiences. Sometimes we feel hurt, scared, or deeply alone. Sometimes what happens seems too big to manage. For 25+ years I have had the privilege of helping people learn to live as their "best self," able to manage their moods, thoughts and situations with compassion and skill, to make changes to reach their goals, and to find happiness. I have also had the honor of helping couples and families move from hurtful interactions to healthy loving relationships.

I enjoy working creatively with clients. Whether you suffer from anxiety, problems with a loved one or you can't make a decision, I have experience in problem-solving using your strengths. I work with families, teens, and adults who are stressed and totally 'stuck.' I've lived and raised my children in Cambridge, MA and Cuba, and love the diversity of working with inter-racial and trans-national families. I also worked in Tchad. I work with college-bound adults who are balancing social needs with a heavy workload. Is therapy work? Definitely. Is there support available? Yes. In Spanish we say- vale la peña -it is worth it.

For 39 years I've had the privilege of providing psychotherapy to a wide variety of clients. My specialties include trauma, stress reduction, grief/loss, relationships, self esteem/confidence, life transitions, women's issues, depression, anxiety. I believe people have the innate wisdom to heal themselves and can do so with compassionate guidance and tools to live more peacefully and better cope with life's stressors. I have received advanced training in EMDR, IFS and other somatic therapies, all effective in healing trauma and significantly improving confidence, anxiety, depression, relationships.
