Therapists in Roslindale, MA

I am a psychotherapist with over 30 years experience. The majority of my work has been in the field of addiction recovery, educating and working with individuals and families at all stages of treatment. I have special interest and expertise helping people process trauma and move toward an integrated recovery. I also work with individuals and families effected by ADD/ADHD and coach them to use new strategies to deal with symptoms and conflicts. I love the creative process of helping people find new ways of understanding their stories and themselves so they can develop more useful ways of responding to life's challenges.

I believe clients come to therapy looking for for someone who they can feel comfortable exploring their feelings with in a safe, caring, non judgmental space.It is very important to me that I create a place where my clients feel heard, understood and respected during our work together. I believe helping people live a life of greater authenticity is an important part of the therapeutic process. Using a strength based approach, our initial sessions would include creating goals for our work together.I work with both teens and adults who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions ,adoption issues and trauma.

Perhaps you feel discouraged and are seeking therapy because you have tried to make changes but haven’t noticed a difference. Maybe you continue to be impacted by overwhelming events from the past. You could be reaching out because you’re experiencing anxiety, sadness, disconnection from others, or difficulty with navigating life transitions and managing stress. Maybe you’ve noticed your child is having a hard time and are reaching out on their behalf. You may want to build up your self esteem and have more fulfilling relationships, or to feel more connected to yourself, to grow, and to enjoy life.

I'm NOT taking new clients right now....Creating emotional intelligence involves many things: understanding mood changes and why certain circumstances create anxiety; communicating better in relationships and expressing feelings more positively; building skills as a parent or understanding what it means to go from couple to family. If we are in transition, in gender or in life purpose, we want to create a firmer sense of identity and direction. We want insight and the ability to create a future unbound to a traumatic past. We want to create new patterns of behavior and thinking that enhance our connection to others.

I provide individual therapy for children, teens, and adults. I provide a safe, private, space to unpack what is going on for you; to help you find tools to improve your life, find compassion for yourself, and develop deeper connections with those around you. My strength lies in my ability to listen well, and to give equal weight to the heart breaking truths you harbor and to your ability to find joy, strength, fun, and connection. I am seeking motivated, goal oriented clients who appreciate a mix of reflection and accountability. I accept BCBS insurance and private pay.

I understand that adolescents and young adults require a variety of approaches to therapy. My experience with adolescents, young adults, and families offer diverse ways to meet clients where they are at. I have worked at public schools for the past eight years, and understand the stressful demands of academic work, as well as the highs and lows of emotions, peer issues, and navigating healthy relationships (among other issues). Most young people are looking to be heard and validated; as well as learning new tools and strategies to handle the challenges of growing up in a complex world.

We all go through times in life where we struggle to cope. It takes courage to ask for help. Perhaps you are dealing with a loss, an issue in your relationship, family stressors or a life transition. Whether you are seeking to gain new insights and skills or just need a place to talk through the things on your mind, I offer a safe, compassionate space. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I frequently work with clients identifying as LGBTQ and have specialized training in this area.

Welcome, I'm Evelyn Dougherty and I've been a practicing therapist for over 30 years. I currently have openings in my practice - individual, couples, family and group work (which includes a couples group) Whether your in emotional pain from a loss, a break up, relationship stress, raising children, caring for older parents, health issues or challenges at work - I will work with you to create new responses that build your relationships and bring you closer and more intimate with the people in your life.

No matter what stage in life we are in, it is the day to day stressors in our lives that may activate us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, unsettled, unfulfilled, confused, and lonely. My goal is to work with you on identifying and using your strengths to help you gain awareness and self understanding as a means to make meaningful and sustainable growth to enhance your day to day living.

It is easy to get overwhelmed with life and it's day to day challenges.Sometimes all it takes to make things easier, is someone to listen and help us see things from a different perspective. Asking for help at a difficult time is not easy. I value the opportunity to work with my clients to provide support and direction during challenging times.

When you are struggling with depression, anxiety and/or other stressful or painful life circumstances, I know the decision to look for a therapist can be a difficult and challenging one. I am an experienced, trauma informed and compassionate therapist who has worked collaboratively and successfully with people for more than 25 years. My goal is to provide a safe, accepting and empowering environment that will best meet your individual needs so that you can meet your goals and take care of the concerns that brought you into therapy.

I am available for new clients. Clients may speak in Spanish or English. Clients may also be bicultural. Clients may be in need of support to address the following: decrease stress and anxiety, increase access to self-expression, learn self-regulation skills, improve sleep, learn boundary-setting skills, or address difficulties with functioning in any life domain.

By interweaving different types of therapy, we collaborate towards your goals in a way that's effective and respectful of your time, energy and money. Each session can be useful - I track this carefully by asking for feedback and by giving choices on how we work together. The time in-between sessions also is used - through practice 'homework' we choose individually, as a couple or as a family, or through observation/thinking. This helps us to identify what helps you to change or restrains you from change - we can then work together from an attitude of curiosity rather than "shoulds".

I believe that good Supervision is a conduit for mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Having worked with individuals, couples and families I have seen my clients grow and change in the most positive and rewarding ways. In my practice I work closely with people to identify the changes they want to make in their lives. We then focus on the strengths that have helped them thus far and the challenges that have held them back. Effective supervision brings deep understanding of oneself, builds strong self-esteem, and provides an emotional, mental, and spiritual foundation for a gratifying and prosperous Psychotherapy Practice.

Offering Walk Therapy: outdoors, in-person, year round, dogs invited. I’m licensed in MA & RI & will consider well-aligned virtual clients as well. My current practice is very queer/trans, multi-racial, poly, neurodivergent, spiritual, artistic, working in helping professions, embodied, & politically-engaged. Folks who thrive with me appreciate direct feedback, authenticity, & strengths-based ways of building safety & courage to go after the lives they want, relationally & professionally. I find that the walking modality, in combination with EMDR & somatic practices, are a trustworthy resource for addressing complex trauma.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Nourished Minds Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in treating adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and OCD. I am a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and often infuse this background into my clinical work to help clients befriend their body and regulate their nervous system.

Mental health is how we think, feel and act as we cope with life. It helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Everyone feels worried, anxious, sad or stressed sometimes. But with a mental illness, these feelings do not go away and are severe enough to interfere with your daily life. It can make it hard meeting and keeping friends, hold a job or enjoy life. "Get plugged In". You cannot wish your problems away. Therapy can help.

Picking a therapist is a very personal choice. You need to feel that your therapist understands your experience, your challenges and moves you a new way of seeing yourself and your strengths. I provide psychotherapy for adults and couples. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and relationship challenges. For couples, I use the Gottman Method to assess couple relational strengths and to target learning new ways to communicate and build connection and intimacy.
