Teen Therapists in Newton, MA

As a Clinical Social Worker spanning 25 plus year, I have worked within a number of settings and populations, specifically with children, adolescents and families. I now primarily focus on adolescents and young adults who are struggling with a variety of issues. This transitional point in their lives can be fraught with stress, anxiety, decisions and emotional upheaval. I believe that everyone is doing the best they can and strive to live their best possible life. My role is to help achieve their goals and get back on track and learn to manage the obstacles that may interfere with their goals.

Helping your teen to feel comfortable and seen is my priority. I believe that true growth cannot happen outside of a warm, safe relationship. There is so much happening developmentally for teens and having a judgement-free space to slow down, unpack thoughts/feelings and gain clarity/awareness can lead to immense empowerment and growth for young people.

Weclome, so glad you found your way here. I’m a good fit to help you if you are: A mom with a new baby, not feeling the joy, feeling isolated, lonely, or anxious. You are on bedrest in a high risk pregnancy, wondering how you are going to get through this. You have a child or teen with ADHD and the systems in your kid's life and your family need revamping. You are a burnt out or ADHD mom yourself, constantly late and forgetting things, scrolling your phone for hours instead of going to sleep. You are a mom who is an adult daughter of a narcissistic mother (or wonder if you are).

In my private practice, I work with adolescents, young adults and parents seeking help with a wide range of issues. I enjoy working at the intersection of adolescent and young adult development, mental health, and school/college life. I use talk therapy as well as parent guidance and family counseling techniques to ensure that people can make the improvements and achieve the results that are most important to them.

Hi! I hope that you find this information helpful. Cultivating health, healing & change guides my work as a clinical social worker. As your therapist, I can provide you with a supportive & collaborative partnership to help with your current circumstances & propel you toward your goals. Through connection and compassion, you will be able to increase your self-awareness & make choices about how you want to respond to your experiences. Using various resources & strategies, you will be an active participant in your treatment and develop the skills you need to provide yourself with effective self-care.

Over the years as a therapist, I have found that the common theme amongst my clients is not their diagnosis or their problems but their deep desire for Calmness, Clarity & Connection. They seek therapy because something is not right in their lives and they want to find a better way. The ingredients to healing are found in these three elements. Whether it is through individual therapy, teen support/skill building, The c3 Method or even within the audience of my public speaking events, my clients engage in a process that leads them away from their struggles to a place of Calmness, Clarity and Connection. ​

I work with adolescent girls and young women (15-25) with a specialization in self esteem, anxiety and depression. Through my 18 years as a therapist, I have come to believe that every challenge or trauma we face in our life is an opportunity for healing. Whether you are wanting a safe space to reflect on day to day challenges (friendships, dating, adjusting to college) or are looking to learn coping skills for managing overwhelming feelings, I am here to help. I don't see a therapist as someone there to "fix" a person (because people are not broken) but as someone to help guide you back to your internal resiliency + intuition.

Do you struggle with being able to manage your emotions? Do you feel that your emotions are in control of your life instead of you? When are you someone who is more sensitive or more reactive, it can sometimes feel like life is happening to you. I know tools and interventions to use to help you feel back in control of your life. I am here to support you through the up and downs that naturally happen along the way. If you are a parent looking for support with you teen or a young adult trying to navigate life, I am here to help.

I am the author of, "Parenting in the Eye of the Storm: The Adoptive Parent's Guide to Navigating the Teen Years." I offer consultation and psychotherapy for individuals and families throughout the life cycle.

I have been in practice for 25 years and work in my private, comfortable home office. People find me easy to talk to and often say I have the right balance between empathy and challenging them when necessary. People come to therapy because they are having difficulties handling their emotions in their work (or school) and personal relationships. As an Adult and Child Psychoanalyst, I have considerable experience working with a wide range of people from 3 years old and up to mature adulthood. I particularly like working with preschoolers, under-achieving "gifted" children, seemingly "lost" adolescents, adults and Seniors dealing with aging and retirement.

With any and all presenting concerns, I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment. I have an integrative approach, with a particular focus on motivational enhancement, insight oriented exploration of past experiences, and when appropriate, specific tools and coping strategies. I use a number of research backed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols, which are proven to be effective in treating anxiety and depression. However, I am careful to use these methods in the context of a client centered and welcoming environment which accounts for an individual's particular needs, experiences, and readiness to change.
