I have advanced training in couples therapy/relationship empowerment and have trained and certified with Terry Real, author of The New Rules of Marriage and How Can I Get Through To You.
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 work with teen, young adults and adults going through life transitions such as emerging adulthood, marriage , parenthood, career, lifestyle, and other major life changes.
As a person-centered, relationship-based therapist I believe that we are all on a journey towards being our best selves. However, there are times on that journey when we need a little support. Therapy is a time for self-exploration, reflection and care. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, utilizing the philosophies and tools of the major psychological approaches.

It's gratifying when couples receive help for pre- marital counseling and to decide whether to separate.
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.

Anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, regret. Marital conflict, parent-child struggles. Alienation, isolation. These are not just words. They are real problems that don't always have easy solutions. I help clients to learn, grow, and resolve their problems -- whether big or small, simple or complicated. Those problems may include: self-defeating habits, hurtful relationship patterns, overwhelming anxiety, or debilitating depression. Want a safe place where you are appreciated and your experience is validated? I can provide it. Need interpersonal understanding and wise guidance? I can offer that, too. Want to mobilize inner resources? With my help, you can. Contact me.

UNABLE to accept new clients, EXCEPT for Supervision of Licensed Clinicians ONLY. No therapist is ever supposed to fly without a net! We must seek support for the murky work of psychotherapy; and we have the right (and are expected) to examine, in privacy and safety, our clinical stuck points, losses, insights and triumphs. If you lack appropriate supervision for your work, be sure to correct that ASAP, to get what you need. Ms MacArthur was Director of Emergency Diagnostics and Admissions for a DMH/MA hospital. With 45 years' experience in private practice, she is reflective, down-to-earth, pragmatic, and client-centered.

I optimally resonate with clients who are interested in self awareness and taking responsibility for the part that they play in life and relational challenges. They are committed to healing past traumas in order to be able to live as fully as possible in the present. The understanding that self transformation very naturally attracts qualitative experiences and relationships enables psychotherapy and connective couples work to be optimally beneficial.

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.

I am a psychologist who began my career as a dancer and then became an expressive therapist, which grounds my treatment in both psyche and soma. I love working with couples around relationship issues and sexuality. My work is both psychodynamic and cognitive, drawing on the integration of logic, philosophy, and emotion. The most crucial component of successful treatment is a good sense of humor. I work to create a safe space for exploring any emotion or pattern, no matter complex.

The premise of psychotherapy is that every crisis presents an opportunity for growth and change. Against this backdrop, psychotherapy is an adventure of insight unique for every person, whether the reason for seeking treatment is a current stressor or the wish to be free from longstanding dysfunctional patterns that interfere with fulfillment in the spheres of love, work and play.

Often, people come to therapy because they are living lives that they never planned on. It becomes clear that difficulties from the past are getting in the way of settling into relationships. I am interested in helping people overcome losses - the loss of time due to depression, the loss of previous versions of oneself due to unresolved feelings, illnesses, or injuries, the loss of relationships that might have succeeded had one been more able to give to or receive from others, and the loss of one's identity due to the demands of work, relationships, or culture. I believe creativity, spontaneity, and humor can contribute to growth.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
