Women's Issues Therapists in Hanover, MA

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and earned my masters degree in social work from Boston College. I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults. Development of a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation from which good clinical work begins. I believe that each individual represents a unique set of abilities and strengths; and that the essence of a person does not need to be changed but rather empowered, supported and encouraged. Understanding clients goals and using their strengths to achieve those goals is of the upmost importance in my practice.

Are concerns about unhappiness causing stress for you? Do you feel like you cannot obtain a healthy work/life balance? Has stress/change left you feeling uncertain for the future? I have over ten years experience and offer treatment/support for substance abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and mood disorders. These services are provided in individual therapy using treatment approaches including solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and CBT. Incorporation of stress management planning, holistic psychology, mindfulness, and inner child work performed in a non-judgmental, safe environment.

Navigating life can be challenging. It's natural to need help at times, and joining with another person in a therapeutic alliance can be just what you need to gain more insight, refocus, and find more balance to live life more joyfully. My intention in psychotherapy is to guide individuals to a clearer understanding of their mental and emotional terrain, how their thoughts and feelings may influence their overall sense of well-being, and to explore new perspectives that may benefit them.

I believe that the ability to heal exists within all of us. I utilize a multimodal approach in my work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a diverse array of issues. My goal of treatment is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment through which we will work collaboratively to address issues associated with life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss.

As a mental health counselor for 11 years I have had diverse opportunities to guide individuals through their own journeys towards growth, change and success. During my experience, I have helped older teens and adults who were experiencing issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder and trauma. My previous work includes adolescent day residential treatment, outpatient substance abuse group therapy and individual therapy, assisting individuals with navigating the behavioral health system and Program Director of Outpatient Services.

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.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be the first step toward achieving personal goals and creating positive change in your life. Starting the process can feel overwhelming, but I can help. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience working with clients on the South Shore. My style is interactive and collaborative, facilitating client growth through problem and goal clarification, improved self-awareness, and the development of coping and wellness skills in a safe, supportive environment. Change is not easy but is entirely possible with a willingness to take action one step at a time.

Note: email is the best way to reach me - I'm a Licensed MH Counselor looking forward to helping you (or a loved one) work through difficulties in life.

Hello; thanks for viewing my profile. Everyone has an interesting story to tell of how they got to where they are now. Therapy can help change the plot and perhaps develop new chapters. I have been a psychologist for over 25 years- initially in a medical setting and then in private practice. I have expertise working with people with medical conditions as well as with depression and anxiety. I treat couples and individuals ranging from 18 years through the lifespan.
