Hello! I'm Jodie. Although I have specialized in working with children and adolescents, I also work with adults who have experienced trauma or struggle with other stressors. Past roles include senior leadership positions for nonprofits in the state of Massachusetts. This included working closely with DCF, DMH, and DJJ in order to support children and families. One single approach is not suitable for everyone, so I take an integrative approach to therapy. I am trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, ACT, Forensic Social Work, and Brief Therapy. I am also a master's Level Expert for CPCS. Public defenders can hire me as a consultant on cases.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety - whether it’s from external demands or internal struggles. Maybe it's social anxiety, "a life transition," or healing from trauma. Or maybe it's something more general, like you want to feel more "in control" of your emotions…and your life. I can help. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your challenges, empowering you to move forward - with skill and confidence. I use “treatments that work” (CBT, DBT, mindfulness, etc). But we’ll find what works for YOU. Lastly, I don’t just want you to just “feel better.” I want you to live your best life. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Hi, I'm Miriam! I have been a therapist for over a decade and am Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), one of my primary modalities. IFS offers a non-judgmental approach to understanding the many parts of ourselves, each striving to help us navigate life. When these parts become imbalanced, they can contribute to challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or addictive behaviors. Through IFS, we work to free these parts from extreme patterns, fostering greater calm, confidence, and connection within the whole self.

We all go through transitions. Sometimes it can be painful, overwhelming, and lonely. Whether you’re exploring sexual and/or gender identities, deconstructing or restructuring your belief system or changing jobs, it can make life feel unstable and dangerous (kind of like deciding to explore an eternal abyss). That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you cross whatever proverbial bridge you have in front you. For the past decade, I've worked with folks from 12 to 60 going through changes, such as gender transition, coming out, establishing beliefs, exploring ethical non-monogamy, couples identifying the next step and staying sober.

My passion for understanding people stems from my undergraduate degree in anthropology, and I enjoy connecting with individuals from all backgrounds, ages, and walks of life. I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD (I’m Exposure and Response Prevention Certified), but I also love supporting clients navigating depression, major life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychological Science with a minor in Professional Writing at Fitchburg State University. While earning my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Capella University, I was also navigating life as a mom to two incredible neurodivergent boys—an experience that gave me unique, firsthand insight into the world of neurodiversity. Over the course of eight years, I worked in residential settings with at-risk youth and neurodivergent individuals, which truly ignited my passion for this work.

Change is an integral part of life. At some point or other, we all face changes. Changes can be very difficult. I strive to help my clients to identify and understand their needs and steps they can take to begin to promote positive change in their lives. I work with people who are facing challenges in their relationships, with their jobs, with managing their weight and coping with anxiety. I enjoy working with all ages, and in particular focus on adolescents and adults. I have access to medication providers who may also be able to assist you with your coping skills and change process.

I have been in full-time private practice in Methuen and now North Andover since 2000. I have acquired an extensive amount of experience in a wide variety of settings including medical, legal, geriatric, substance abuse, inpatient and community mental health. Knowledge gained from this experience helps me a great deal in understanding and evaluating each client's individual situation. Early in my career I developed an interest in cognitive psychology and the connection between how people think and their behavior, emotions and relationships. This approach has subsequently evolved into what is now called cognitive-behavior therapy or CBT.

I have immediate openings between 11am and 3pm.
I have over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. When you make the first step in finding a therapist for the first time, or have tried therapy in the past, it can be overwhelming and stressful. Therapy is a place to bring all the mental stressors and worries, to begin to work through them and find ways to help you be the version of yourself you want to be. If you want to stop feelings down, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed therapy is a good place to start. I have worked with many people to help achieve an inner calm and peace they desire to have.
