Therapists for Teens in Cohasset, MA

Updated 4/27/24: Office & virtual appts available at Trailhead Counseling in Cohasset. Hello! I am a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression and identity development. I am particularly interested in working with individuals facing emotional distress from life transitions (i.e. grief, coming out LGBTQ+, divorce, college transitions). I aim to help individuals grieve the loss of the life they originally envisioned and gently take steps toward developing an empowered sense of self.

Currently accepting new clients for office, virtual or walk-and-talk sessions in Wompatuck. I am passionate about working with individuals from neurodivergent communities (ASD, ADHD, OCD), those navigating the transition into/out of college and individuals hoping to cultivate a life aligned with their values and various identities. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the messy and overwhelming struggles that come up through relationship conflict and life transitions (i.e. college transitions, career change, separation/divorce).

In my practice, I work with a range of psychological and emotional issues including mood disorders and depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and identity and adjustment concerns. I also work with eating concerns (anorexia, bulimia, body image), and specialize in maternal mental health (perinatal/postpartum). I also treat couples and work with marriage and family concerns.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for over 34 years and love what I do. My approach to therapy is client centered and relational. I utilize a multimodal approach in my work with individuals, couples and families dealing with a diversity of issues.

I'm a firm believer in promoting positive change within by building upon the strengths we have inside of us and learning self acceptance as a path to happiness. I work with those who suffer from anxiety and depression, and specialize in working using a holistic approach to treatment. For the past 25 years I have been working with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression and I can tell you for certain two things: You are not alone and you do not need to suffer. My practice can accommodate adolescents and adults in individual, family and group settings.

Are you caught in a struggle? Stuck in pain? Wanting change? Putting your dreams/visions on hold? Feeling like you've lost JOY? Putting yourself last? It's time to turn your challenges into opportunities, reclaim your joy, and discover the power of reconnecting with your authentic self/your "inner child". I offer individual "one on one" sessions AND workshops. I serve individuals, groups, and organizations. I love to inspire and educate! My "Mindful Practices in Self-Compassion" techniques are transformational in creating positive emotional shifts. With daily practices in mindful self-compassion, you will live a more balanced life, relax negative emotions and invite in "JOY". Through my individual client sessions and workshops, I offer tangible tools and techniques to create the life YOU want!

I am a licensed mental health counselor who works with adolescents, adults, and families. Coming to therapy can feel daunting. I strive to help you feel comfortable and safe in the therapeutic space by creating a warm, collaborative, and respectful environment. While I have a certain set of clinical therapeutic skills, you are the expert of you. Together, we will draw upon your strengths to help alleviate your symptoms and adaptively cope with the concerns that brought you into therapy. I utilize an integrative treatment approach to best meet the needs of you, your child, and your family.

***I am able to see clients remotely via HIPAA compliant video sessions*** I help clients identify the strengths they already possess and expand upon them in an effort to bring them back to themselves. That is what I define as a strength-based approach to therapy. By filtering out all the distractions that you face everyday, we work together to get you more connected with yourself and in more control of your own destiny. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a wide variety of issues.

Are you missing the connection you once had with your partner? Would you like to inject more spontaneity into your relationship? Do you want to sharpen communication skills when dealing with teens and preteens? Learned behaviors, old patterns, and habits can pose detours on the road to communication.

I bring 35 years of experience, with many areas of expertise, to my practice. This breadth lets me match an effective approach with each need. My clinical understanding is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and other approaches.

I believe that one of the most healing things that we can do for ourselves and for the world is to show up as our authentic self in all aspects of our life. However, we are rarely given the tools and support necessary to do so. I am here to support you in breaking down ineffective patterns or unhelpful perceptions in order to increase your understanding of your own strengths and begin to recognize what you bring to this world. You deserve to feel regulated within your body and more aligned in your day to day life so that you can experience all that you are meant to.

Hello! I hope you found yourself here looking to start or continue your journey of self-care and healing, whether it's for you or someone you love. I'm a licensed mental health clinician and school adjustment counselor starting my practice on the south shore after working in the school system these past 4 years.

I offer clients a comfortable and supportive space to explore concerns, manage stress and make connections to understand why we feel and behave the way we do. Video based teletherapy provides a unique relationship through which to explore these challenges from the comfort of your own home. I am equally comfortable using humor, and sitting with challenging emotions, and believe it is important to have both throughout the therapy process.

The approach I take is a psychodynamic conversation with the individual(s) about what struggles and conflicts are present in their life. The goal of therapy is to identify the patterns of thinking and feeling, (positive and negative) that a person is using to manage the relationships in their life and to discover ways of adjusting those patterns to create a more positive experience of oneself and others. Therapist and client work together to understand and modify habits of thinking, feeling and behaving that create a stronger sense of self and happiness.

Supporting clients who need guidance with: Women in Business (Stress/Overwhelm, Empowerment, Work/Life Balance); Life Transitions (Stress, Adjustment, Grief/Loss); Relationships (Communication, Spirituality, Self-Esteem/Body Image); or Emotional Health (Anxiety, Depression, Trauma). Let us work together to engage in profound self-discovery, implement effective changes, and foster greater life satisfaction. Continue reading to learn more about how we can work together.

If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being. You are not alone —- but you can’t do this by yourself because if you could, you would have by now.
