Therapists in Needham, MA

Hello! I am a licensed pediatric neuropsychologist specializing in assessment, consultation, and treatment of children and adolescents. A primary emphasis of my clinical work is supporting young children (as young as 12 months of age) and their families, as well as consulting with providers and educators. Therapeutically, I aim to act as an advocate to ensure children receive necessary supports and services, as well as provide parenting support and individual therapy. I treat children and adolescents, as well as provide direct support to parents regarding their children's emotional, behavioral, and social needs.

I work with people who want to improve themselves, their relationships and their self image. These are people seeking a sounding board, a safe confidential place to talk, and extensive knowledge and experience dealing with their issues. My work focuses on where the client is now, and where they want to go, with no pre-conceived notions. We look at past experiences together and how they impact the present. For parents, I offer coaching and suggestions for managing challenging behaviors, and understanding the impact of early childhood trauma of behavior. With younger children, I encourage learning about expression of feelings.

I help adults and adolescents gain control over their anxiety and improve their quality of life. Are you feeling anxious or nervous? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, dissatisfied, or unhappy because you can't stop over-thinking or worrying? Would your relationships, career, or academics greatly improve if you could manage your anxiety? Does your anxiety ever cause you to feel like the walls are closing in, like your heart is beating out of your chest, or like you can’t catch your breath? If so, you’re not alone. Anxiety can be overwhelming but it doesn’t have to limit your life.

I am a therapist who deeply believes in everyone's ability to grow and change. I believe in our ability to evolve even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. In my practice we focus on breaking down these challenges into manageable pieces and accessing the solutions that are already within.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with parents to address a variety of behavioral concerns in young children, including disruptive behaviors (e.g., tantrums, noncompliance/defiance, verbal/physical aggression), sleep disturbance, normative fears, and anxiety.

I am a partner at Needham Psychotherapy Associates where I work primarily with couples. I work with couples who are stuck and feel that their relationship is slipping away. Loneliness is the most common - and most heartbreaking - complaint that I hear, and I frequently hear it from both partners even when there is a lot of anger. I work on repairing connection - not on who is right or wrong. I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) which is a focused, validated, time limited treatment strategy which helps couples heal the wounds that have hurt their connection

Hello! My name is Cailin and I am so glad you’re here. As an experienced clinical social worker, I have worked for the past decade to help adolescents and young adults ages 14-26 in various settings. This time in one’s life is filled with transition, identity development, and emerging independence, and these changes can create anxiety, worry, changing moods, and lack of self-esteem in many. In addition to the normative developmental changes, young people today face a myriad of new and ever-evolving challenges in the age of social media, societal unrest+ uncertainty, and significant pressure to experience success.

Finding the right therapist with whom to create a strong therapeutic alliance is paramount to success. I work with my clients in a framework of compassion, honesty, trust and safety. Together we will identify your goals, empower you to change what you can in your life and to learn acceptance, not passive resignation, for that which you can not change. Carl Jung put it best, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”.

"We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today." - Albert Ellis This is the basis for how I practice therapy. Although the past matters, the way we perceive our current experiences influences how we act and feel today. In my practice I work with clients on understanding the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and bringing awareness to help improve their everyday experience. This work can apply to treating a variety of difficulties including insomnia, anxiety, and depression as well as developing coping strategies for more general life complexities.
