In Person Therapists in Duxbury, MA

I believe that trust is the cornerstone to a successful therapy relationship and that effective treatment balances both acceptance and change. I allow my clients time to warm up to both me and the treatment process. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for clients of all ages to address whatever challenges they may be facing and I do use humor when appropriate in session. I love meeting new clients and helping them reach their full potential.

I believe strongly in forming a warm and collaborative relationship and tailoring my approach to your needs and goals. Since no two clients are the same, I am very flexible in my approach. Depending on your struggles, goals, and needs, I might be highly directive or non-directive, always providing a safe space to work through your thinking and emotions. I am eclectic in my work, meaning I draw from many techniques/orientations including cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and existential therapy. My first goal is always to develop a collaborative relationship, as I consider us partners in this process.

I have over 20 years of experience working with women, couples, and families, primarily addressing challenges at different stages of marriage and raising a family. In addition , issues women frequently face, depression, anxiety, work/life balance, and parenting are an area of special interest. My approach is systemic, viewing people in context of their family, communities, educational situations, beliefs and values that shape how their world is viewed. I support individuals and families to advocate for themselves, and, if appropriate, link people with community resources that might be helpful on their journey.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Do you have the same arguments over and over again? Do most conversations end in a stale mate? Are you not trusting your partner? Do you wonder how can I make my relationship stronger ? Are you or your partner talking about divorce but wish you had a way to change that?

Having someone you trust and who is totally dedicated to your best interest is often the exact thing you need to open yourself up to a new perspective or make an important change in your life. I try to utilize my range of life experiences and education, a fair amount of wisdom and an ability to see effective ways to handle problems and tough situations. Regardless of your circumstances, my full intention will be to create an honest and supportive environment to help you successfully deal with the challenges you face. I see people of all ages and backgrounds.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to live their best life; they may come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, confused or simply aware that they want and/or need to make a change. Together, we will sort through what change needs to be made, what's getting in the way, what supports and resources are available, and we'll formulate goals to help track progress. In the process, we'll work to develop coping skills and strategies to support the process of change, while also identifying the old patterns that are no longer productive.

I work with adolescents, young adults, older adults, couples, and families. I am experienced in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or general life struggles who want help to get back on track and live their best life. I believe each person holds the key to their path forward and I look forward to providing the necessary tools to help them get there.

Are you looking for a compassionate, respectful and confidential setting where your voice can be heard? Are you also looking for an experienced therapist who can assist you in working on areas that you are struggling with? Well, look no further! I have a wealth of experience in working with a diverse population of individuals who have a variety of mental health issues. These days there are many challenges in life, but getting help and support shouldn’t be one of them. I am an independently licensed clinician with over 20 years of combined experience working in schools, psychiatric hospitals and community mental health settings.

Finding someone you are comfortable talking to can be intimidating and stressful. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and welcoming environment filled with mutual trust and respect. I designs therapeutic treatment based on the individual persons needs, some modalities include CBT, DBT, Person Centered, Solution Focused, and EMDR.

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, I help a client find their strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. I love helping people build their confidence and becoming more assertive. I want to help you build the skills to live your life to the fullest!

Are you are constantly juggling tasks and putting out fires without addressing your own needs? Would you label yourself a caretaker, teacher, or maybe even the "responsible friend" everyone relies on? Do you find it challenging to express yourself, struggling to prioritize your own needs and feeling suffocated by responsibilities and leaving you feeling drained and overlooked? How about wondering where your own dreams and desires went amidst the chaos of daily routines? It's a struggle many of us face.

In my practice, I work with an eclectic approach to address a variety of issues from depression and anxiety, loss and grief, adjustment issues, parent coaching and substance use. I focus on the whole person's mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing because my belief is that it is all connected.

I currently have a waitlist. Having a wide range of clinical experience across the life span, I recognize the importance of finding the balance between supporting and challenging my clients through the intentional building of the therapeutic relationship. I focus on the whole person and lean into the importance of establishing safety in the therapeutic process. I support my clients to share their stories, challenge thinking patterns, build coping strategies, and process their experiences and the world around them through dialogue.
