Elders (65+) Therapists in Newton, MA

CALL Office: Adults & Seniors : Individual & Couple: The imprint of trauma is psychological & somatic: long after the events are over, the body continues to respond as if danger were ever present. My professional mission is to bring this understanding of trauma to Adult and Seniors , as a psychotherapist, looking for answers to healing traumatic events. The key to healing is not just knowing what happened but transforming how mind, body, & soul still remember it. Trauma can reveal itself via depression, anxiety, despair, conflict ,lack of resolve, patterns of repetition ,worn out "survival mode defenses" from earlier times.

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.

***CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE EMAIL FIRST BEFORE CALLING*** My work with clients focuses on collaborative, strength-focused, narrative work that is client centered and driven. I believe that we are the expert of our own life story and experience, and have the ability and strength to grow and change. In my work, I utilize my training and knowledge to help my clients capture that strength and use it to address the issues that they are facing in a manner that is reflective, thoughtful and promotes long term change. This is all within an unconditionally supportive, safe, non-judgmental and empowering environment.

It's been a privilege to be trusted with people's confidences and genuine concerns, and to help them understand themselves and their options. My Areas of Specialized Experience are: -->(a) People with Drinking/Drug Problems and their Family Members (i.e., Spouses, Parents, and Adult Children); -->(b) People with Depression or disturbing memories, including situations where those issues contribute to problematic alcohol or drug use; -->(c) Lawyers and the stresses they face (having spent half my professional time at the Massachusetts Lawyer Assistance Program for 20+ years, and co-author of the book “The Full Weight of the Law").

Worries, relationship difficulties, sadness or angst are all welcome here. You are tired of feeling irritable. Your feelings about your relationship, your job or yourself have begun to dominate your thoughts. Your ability to focus at work may be suffering. When your phone rings, you don't want to answer. You are feeling like you don't know how to get out of your own way. You know you mean well and are capable, but things are not coming together. You promise yourself things will change, you will get a handle on things this time. However, change remains elusive.

I believe strongly in that true happiness comes from inner strength within ourselves and my goal is to help my clients reach the goals they want to be committed to. An ideal client for me would be someone who has anxiety and could not get over the past or someone who is suffering from depression. I have helped many clients of mine overcome severe anxiety/depression and improve life quality.

As a former cult member, I help people and their families who have been "unduly influenced." I am committed to helping people reclaim their personal power. I wrote Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs (2013), a 30th-anniversary edition of Combating Cult Mind Control (2018) and The Cult of Trump (2019). I help people from all over the world who have found that mental health professionals unless they are specialized in treating cult members, are at best a waste of time and resources, and worse, do further harm. A large part of my practice is short term work with former members.

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. ​
