Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Somerville, MA

I am currently accepting new clients! Do you often find yourself feeling sad or anxious? Do you worry about yourself or your child? Do you wish you could be your best self? With over fifteen years of clinical experience, my style is fluid and catered to best suit the concerns and experience of my clients. I have worked with clients of all ages in the context of individual, couples, and family therapy. I offer a goal-oriented and strength-based approach and incorporate CBT, ACT, art/narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, solution-focused therapy, and play therapy depending on needs and preferences of each client.

I have 12+ years of clinical experience working with diverse populations across various treatment settings including community mental health centers, inpatient and outpatient programs, and residential care. Across all these contexts, I've helped clients navigate challenges like life changes, relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, career changes, creative growth, substance use, anger management, emotion regulation, identity, and more.

I have over a decade of experience in the field, focusing primarily on an approach called harm reduction. Harm Reduction is a grassroots movement that started among people who were at risk for HIV and HepC (queer people, people who use drugs, sex workers). This approach impacts the work I do with all people. It is an approach to behavioral change that emphasizes meeting you where you are without judgement while moving you towards your goals. My work is also trauma informed, works with your mind and body, relational, and informed by social justice and systems of power, privilege, and oppression.

Hi, I'm Amber! I strive to provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental space for my clients to process life's challenges and openly express any feelings they are experiencing.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

*Currently accepting new clients (private pay only)* My clients are typically between the ages of 4-19yo and present with a wide variety of needs. My passion is working with children and adolescents, and my goal is to create a space where kids & teens can express themselves and work toward their goals with support. Children & adolescents have experienced a lot in the past year through the pandemic and may have a lot of feelings or needs stemming from stressors related to the last year. My clients often seek support around managing related needs.

Sometimes in life we lose our way and need support in coming back into alignment. Life can affect us in many ways causing us to have various struggles emotionally. In my practice I focus on supporting others through various emotional struggles such as better managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, self esteem as well as various other life transitions through the use of mindfulness based practices, CBT and somatic practices such as yoga and meditation. The focus is on building a kinder and more compassionate relationship with yourself that brings you into a place of emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.

I am continually amazed by the authentic human-to-human interaction that therapy embodies. I do not believe that I know more than anyone else; rather I believe therapy is a joint effort. I will help guide the process, but together we will create a therapeutic process that fits your unique needs and strengths. It is an empowering feeling to be a part of your own path of changing.

You have taken the first step in the healing journey, and that is worth celebrating! As a therapist, I will willingly walk alongside you in that journey and create a safe space where all emotions are welcome. I will listen mindfully and compassionately, and teach you skills to help you master your feelings and behaviors. Together we can help you craft your version of a good life.

People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My passion is to help people find this light, to help heal from their past trauma and move forward. I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.
