Therapists in Foxboro, MA

Has life thrown you a curveball? Are you feeling stuck or in a rut? Missing a sense of purpose? That is normal! Those experiences, while difficult, can be a push towards growth and positive changes (change is hard!) & looking for a counselor to speak to is a great step forward. I believe that the best counselors have life experience that supports their specialization. I am able to support you with college prep, career, relationships, marriage, infertility and treatment journeys, pregnancy loss, NICU (happy to zoom into the hospital), dealing with a new diagnosis and chronic illness, and raising children with special needs.

My clients and I work together to facilitate the changes they would like to create in their lives. By utilizing a combination of cognitive behavioral and traditional psychotherapy, we develop a plan to promote personal growth, improve relationships and foster inner peace.

Life is sometimes overwhelming and when we run out of solutions, therapy can help create possibilities. Let's talk and develop new skills for managing your stress. You will be listened to, believed in, acknowledged, and seen. I am here to support you and teach you skills to empower you and help you cope. I specialize in working with teens and young adults. I also provide clinical supervision for other LCSW therapists. I am a LGBTQ+, queer, transgender, fat-positive therapist and a BLM advocate. I strive to create an inclusive and safe space for all clients.

Every journey begins with a single step. The counseling road is a journey and I'm glad you're here taking the first step. From here, we walk together. My counseling philosophy involves empowering you toward personal growth while helping you make positive strides toward your goals and ambitions. My role is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that can help encourage you to see things in a different light, respond to situations in a new way, and navigate life’s challenges.

I’m sorry, but I am not accepting new clients at this time. I have worked in various settings over the last 15 years including the public school system, in home, and outpatient settings. I enjoy learning about each individual client and tailoring sessions to those needs most relevant to you. I believe the client is in the driver's seat while in treatment and my role is to help create a safe path to get to the end result.

After more than 20 years of talking with people who are struggling with their lives both individually and in relationships, I am very aware of what helps people find their way. In part it is educational, helping to give an understanding of how our minds work. Knowledge is power. It is also, in part, helping to people to discover their own voice, their sense of self and the power they have to create the kind of life they wish to lead. We all have an innate desire to be fully human. I see it as my task to help people discover their humanity.

As a queer therapist, I know the value in having someone understand the unique experience of exploring your sexual identity, the joys and challenges of queer relationships, and the complexity of navigating bisexual and pansexual identity in relationships.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Kristin Spooner (she/her/hers), a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist who is dedicated to helping folx break free from the shame and stigma tied to their sexual preferences, identities, and orientations. My approach is deeply rooted in intersectional and antiracist principles. As a radical social worker, I recognize that many challenges people face stem from systemic oppression and marginalization. My goal is to foster a supportive environment where clients can navigate and address issues related to their sexual identities, working towards a healthier and fulfilled self.

“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” -Hippocrates Within the therapeutic relationship, I work closely with individuals suffering from depression, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, etc. I believe in creating a warm, supportive & empathic environment that enhances positive outcomes for the client. I utilize an interactive, collaborative, supportive, positive/strength-based methodology.

Verge has immediate day time availability for adults! Welcome! This can be an intimidating process so I am happy that you are here. My professional work has centered around working with adolescents and adults navigating through depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief, identity development, women’s issues, and mood disorders.

My current availability: I am available to work with young adults who are working their way though college or in the "real world." Additionally, I offer parenting support/consultation. Set aside some time to talk about the strengths and challenges of your child(ren).

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist, who received a masters degree from Lesley University in 2009. I spent the early part of my career as an emergency mental health clinician, providing crisis evaluations to children and adolescents in community based settings. Since that time, I have focused on providing individual outpatient therapy to adolescents and adults in both office based and home based locations.

I have been been in private practice for over 20 years and find I remain engaged and excited about my work. I strive to develop good rapport and an empathetic connection with each person, to be an ally and guide, and to develop a good working relationship where together clients and I can focus on their desired changes. My goal is to foster a safe and supportive place for clients to work to transform their challenges regarding mood, addiction, relationship, spirituality, parenting, life transitions, illness, loss, divorce, creative/performance blocks, body image and self esteem.

Transitions and the unexpected are an integral part of our life's journey! As a psychotherapist, I will walk with you along this path by being actively engaged in providing healing in which you experience a safe environment to feel respected, understood, and heard. Looking for a therapist is a courageous, pivotal step. Finding a harmonious match is crucial. In journeying through issues, therapy is a healing process whereby the therapist and client connect in a trusting path. My approach is collaborative with you to define goals building on your strengths to help you grow, change, and to feel empowered.

I'm not taking any new clients at this time. I believe that happiness is a choice that you can make every day of your life -- an active, conscious choice. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed -- not just endured. My clients tell me that I am easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. Clients come to me because they are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, career or relationship issues. I create a safe place where clients let go of the past, enjoy the present and embrace the future. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on mindfulness. Whatever you are going through, you do not have to go through it alone.

Therapy can provide an opportunity for reflection, growth, acceptance and forgiveness. I welcome the chance to meet with you and discuss your challenges and assist you with fulfilling your potential. I use a strength-based approach with a focus on setting and obtaining goals. My style is eclectic and is based on the needs of the client.

In a warm, compassionate & friendly manner, I hope to guide my clients to identify and alleviate life challenges and empower them to achieve their potential. Symptoms include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma & dissociation, learning and behavioral difficulty, developmental issues, relationship conflicts, social anxiety, loss/grief, life transitions, parenting stress, health/medical concerns, healthy life style, physical pain, chronic illness, peer issues, Aspergers & PDD, adoption and bariatric surgery consultation. Approaches include cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, supportive, and mind/body techniques (e.g., mindfulness meditation, relaxation, visualization and Qi Gong). I am trained in EFT. I am interested in the role of spirituality and religion on well-being.

Life is full of transitions, some of our own choosing, others imposed upon us. The challenges involved in life altering experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming and therefore catalysts for common symptoms of anxiety and depression. This is when therapy can be especially helpful. I offer compassionate, client centered services designed to meet the individual where they are at while incorporating a mindful approach toward treatment. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand, cope with and resolve current challenges at hand.

Problems and stress happen to all of us but stick to every person a little differently depending on our biology and life experiences. The symptoms that result from a high degree of stress, like anxiety and depression, require interventions like any other medical issue, or they will worsen, creating more health problems. Healing and change require a lot of compassion and a partnership of constructive problem solving. Therapy helps us do 2 important things: 1) Better manage disruptive symptoms and stressors. 2) Recover and discover meaning and success in life.
