Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience helping teens and adults with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, stress, safety concerns, negative thought patterns, and communication issues. I have worked with people in different settings such as inpatient hospitalization, day programs, addiction treatment, in-home therapy, community services, and outpatient therapy.

The individuals that I treat most often have varying levels of need and are at different stages in their own therapeutic process. For this reason, I am very person-centered and tailor treatment to each individual's particular needs. I work with all ages but most often with children, adolescents, and young adults. The majority of individuals that I see struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, eating disorders, self-injury, school problems, and ADHD. However, I also have advanced training in working with individuals with chronic mental health issues and personality disorders.

As a narrative therapist I strive to help my clients alter problem stories into preferred ways of living. I provide individual therapy to adolescents (14+) through older adulthood/elderly. I have special interest in weight management issues, college student mental health and adolescent mental health, specifically adolescents with behavioral or legal issues. Presenting problems I typically work with include anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, psychosis, stress and weight management, substance abuse, and trauma. I also work with practicing therapists seeking clinical supervision and support.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential to live a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

Growth toward a more comfortable and confident you: Services are provided so that clients may develop growth across a number of domains. Clients are asked to be active participants in our work together, in addition to any plans for their own personal development.

Furthermore, Schatzel Counseling Group takes a humanistic and client centered approach which incorporates several disciplines from a varying array of fields.

Castle Hill Counseling & Consulting, Inc. (CHCC) was founded in December of 2015. While drawing from my undergraduate education at Boston College, subsequent graduate program at Simmons College, and 20+ years of experience in the mental health and education field, I founded CHCC with the vision to deliver the highest quality service to children in the home, school environments, and to the larger systems supporting families through professional development, specialized trainings, and consultation. We have developed speciality areas of practice; including school refusal and avoidance, trauma, and educational program development.

I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life. I begin therapy by gaining a clear understanding of your strengths as well as areas for growth, and building a strong working alliance. Together we identify therapy goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor who services adolescents and adults at my office in Beverly, Massachusetts, or across Massachusetts via telehealth counseling. I specialize in treating issues related to trauma and anxiety.

Family and relationships are the most important things in our lives, but they can also be the place where we find most hurt and need the most healing. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and children by helping people communicate better through understanding and engagement. Therapy takes effort, honesty, and a willingness to engage in self-exploration. I will seek to meet you where you are and provide a safe environment for growth and change. I am here to listen, support, and help you in your journey forward.

I've been in private practice for 34 years. I've had extensive training in both theoretical and didactic psychotherapy. An important part of my training was my own work and research in understanding myself and my marriage and other important relationships. This is why I think I am so confident at being both a couples therapist and an individual therapist. I believe this is primarily an educational process or a re-educational process.

I am a seasoned, licensed psychologist who specializes in the treatment of people experiencing life/career stress, chronic pain, substance abuse, anxiety and/or depression.

My style is curious, collaborative and nonjudgmental. Seeing the best in people and respecting client's needs and pace, creates a safe and comfortable space where people feel heard and understood. I listen for what is needed and helpful in the moment, move clients toward stress reduction, and through conflict resolution, life transitions and other relationship issues. I offer tools and homework for healing and change. The tools are aimed at creating: respectful relationships, positive communication, collaboration, improved personal performance, enhancing personal authority and creating a more grounded sense of self in relationships.

*Certified CBT Therapist* My approach to therapy allows me to conduct solution-focused therapy; meaning that together we will work towards solving whatever questions you may have through changing thoughts and/or behaviors. I also perform Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where my work focuses on helping people change problematic behaviors. With a teaching style heavily rooted in behavior therapy, I am able to work with people to problem solve in the here and now, where we will work to turn the issues of yesterday and today into a better tomorrow.

***Currently NOT accepting clients***** I endeavor to remain as inclusive in my approach to treatment as possible. I firmly believe that the best treatment is derived from a partnership between the client and the clinician, which necessitates the willingness to use the technique, theory or practice that feels comfortable to the individual. I have experience working with clients of all ages, genders, and issues, including families, couples and individuals, as I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their own happiness.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have often had unsuccessful prior treatment experiences. They feel that my knowledge and holistic approach to treatment will provide them with a healthier pathway forward in their life. Although I have a depth of experience to share with my patients I value learning from them on a daily basis. To facilitate change I employ a range of focused DBT and CBT strategies that I also teach to younger clinicians who train with my practice. I have maintained a professional home for 30 years at Harvard Medical School where I serve as a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry.

*NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED via TELEHEALTH* Ever feel like you have a way to do something, and though it does not work the way it seems like it should, you feel it “works for you?” Do you find that you have a way of behaving and struggle to break free from yourself? I find that humans act in patterns. We think about a problem and act in a way that is the most comfortable to us and tend to repeat these patterns regardless of the result. I work with people living with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger concerns, separation/loss/grief issues, and people coping with discrimination.
