Grief Therapists in Peabody, MA

Availability: Limited week day hours ( before 6p). My therapy style is practical, gentle and significantly informed by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as well as Narrative,Relational, CBT and motivational interviewing frameworks. As a trained reiki master and yoga teacher, I integrate mindfulness-based practices including Reiki, guided imagery and breath work into traditional talk therapy sessions. I support clients in accessing internal resources, such as curiosity, compassion and confidence, to encourage their process of growth, change and healing in a trauma-informed and client-directed way.

Thank you for taking the time today to review my profile. Beginning the process of psychotherapy can feel like a daunting one. Your ability to feel comfortable and at ease with a therapist can only help you to address difficult or painful parts of your life. My patients tell me that they often feel safe and "at home" when they are working with me. I enjoy working with folks who have been suffering from depression, trauma, loss, and substance abuse. Please feel free to call me to talk about scheduling an appointment.

I specialize in diagnoses such as depression, adjustment disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, generational trauma, grief, and ADHD among others. Additionally, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC. I enjoy working with people open to change and eager to develop patterns of thinking and behaviors that support the life they truly hope for.

As a therapist I believe that everyone encounters challenges at different points in their life and may need additional support in order to get back on track and function as their best self. My focus is on helping you to identify places where you feel stuck or are struggling and to help you tap into and build upon your internal resources to move past this and attain your goals toward success and wellness.

I specialize in helping preteens, teenagers, and adults who are experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship issues. Through our sessions together, you will find that I not only take the time to listen and understand your situation, but that together we will build up your skills to better understand and manage your feelings that are currently weighing you down.

My intention is to bring warmth, compassion, and curiosity to the therapeutic space. I see therapy as a collaborative process, bringing in relevant clinical knowledge and training, yet always centering the client as the expert on their own life. As a clinical social worker, it is my privilege to connect with individuals and couples to co-create a path toward growth.

CURRENTLY TAKING SELF PAY CLIENTS. I have had much experience helping people with their emotional pain, unresolved trauma, fear, anxiety, confusion, grief, stress, inner critic and self worth. I can assist you in identifying personal strengths, get in touch with your intuition, develop appropriate boundaries and bring the unconscious to awareness. I will help you let go of narratives that hold you back, and then assist you in connecting with your personal power and authentic self.

I have more than 20 years of experience, specializing in couples therapy, and working with individuals and families. Couples will learn more effective proven communication techniques, how to remove negativity from their relationships, and gain a better understanding of self-defeating behaviors. Couples move toward conscious connection as they come to understand each other better. They have more compassion as their defenses drop, and intimacy grows deeper, both emotionally and sexually.

When we seek therapy- we are often "on the edge" of something...usually mystifying, hugely disappointing or nerve wracking. For a while it can be confusing and sometimes debilitating. It may be a relationship breakdown, a divorce, an addiction, a loss, or even "a cliff"- in which case psychotherapy can be life saving! Some of us clearly benefit with guidance. Perhaps our collaboration will achieve this.

Hello, my name is Donna Blume and I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years. I have an open heart and an open mind and I am told by my clients that I have a great sense of humor. Although psychotherapy is a serious business there are times when a sense of humor is very useful. My approach is gentle and direct. My clients also tell me that they feel comfortable with me almost immediately. I am a down to earth person with a down to earth approach.

"Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still." As this Chinese proverb wisely reminds us, we all have the capacity for growth, positive change and self-improvement. If this is a journey you are ready to embark on, I would be honored to walk with you... I have 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families with a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, phobias, parenting, loss/grief and life transitions, including aging. My recent focus is couples work and I have completed trainings through Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance and at the Ackerman Institute.

We may encounter many challenges along our path. Challenges may include loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma and mood disruption. At times, we can manage these challenges on our own. At other times, working with someone can be of benefit - perhaps even a necessity - allowing us to understand and move through the challenge; reconnect with ourselves and others and generally function better in the world. As a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I offer my knowledge, skill, curiosity and compassion in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment to support you and/or family members in this process.
