Therapists in Sudbury, MA

I do not envision an ideal client; I accept people where they are. But if I had to, this person would be open/honest, eager to dive in, and ready to reconsider their prior notions/ideas and behaviors that have not served them. They would practice the discussed changes in their daily lives and report back on their progress during sessions. I would like to assist you in tackling challenging aspects of your life to help you find balance. I am a naturally empathetic person who truly cares for others' well-being. I actively listen to understand and will provide honest but compassionate feedback.

Life can challenge us in many ways, and sometimes we find we have gotten off track. We may lack motivation, or lose interest in things we used to enjoy. Anxiety or depression can cause us to feel that we’ve lost touch with ourselves, and our relationships or our jobs can feel like a chore. Life will always present us with challenges. These challenges can bring us down, or they can lead us to new vistas of self-discovery. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not in the branch, but in its own wings.” - Unknown

Greetings! I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I have supported children and families as a consultant for over 30 years and enjoy working with a variety of different circumstances. In my practice with children, my focus is play therapy centered, along with family therapy. I seek to align with the caregiver in the best interest of their child. In my practice with adults, I seek to listen, respect and value each person's personal story and collaborate with them to promote positive changes.

We believe that emotional stability is the hallmark of success. It is no surprise that highly successful people dedicate substantial amount of time and effort to the their emotional wellbeing. Understanding the thoughts, feelings and response triangulation helps individuals overcome most mental and emotional distress.

Fortunately, that’s also where our secrets to success are hidden too. Let’s help you break the unhealthy pattern & build new ones

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerne as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

My ideal client would present solution-focused with a desire to gain insight and understanding of presenting symptomatically and how those symptoms manifested. Their issues, regardless of being situational or organic, should be addressed directly with kindness and acceptance without judgement. The need should be to not only identify and address their current symptoms but also to work towards a more profound understanding of why such symptoms are present and how to create an opportunity for change. The goal should support a progressive change to improve quality of life.

Facing yourself takes courage, however, it can yield enormous benefits. I believe we all share an instinct towards self improvement and growth. When that instinct gets thwarted, an individual may feel "stuck" and experience a loss of confidence. As a hypnotherapist, I am passionate about working in collaboration with you in getting "unstuck". I will assist you in facing your fears, and recognizing the avoidance behaviours, self sabotaging, and negative subconscious thought patterns holding you back from the success you desire and deserve.

My ideal client suffers from anxiety and depression. These struggles create the inability to function as expected daily. This client needs mood stabilization and the ability to function easier by completing daily routines and tasks with fewer challenges. The client also wants mood stabilization to avoid suicidal ideation, plan, or intent. As we work together on improving mental health, the client's mood will stabilize with less interactive anxiety and depressive feelings of suicidal ideation within the next three months.

I am accepting, interactive, and easygoing. I believe in focusing on the current situation in peoples' lives, and explore the past as long as it has a demonstrable benefit for a client's present day functioning. I believe it is important to customize my approach to a client's style, situation, and needs. As much as possible, I draw on a person's emotional and physical "intelligence" to complement his or her cognitive understanding. It is essential that my clients feel in charge of their direction and pacing, and safe enough to take the necessary risks.

My ideal client would be a middle-aged person who is looking to change and willing to step outside the box. Their goals would be independence and small achievable ones. I enjoy working with anxiety and am open to "between sessions" work/activities.

I do not believe in the "ideal client." Regardless of circumstance, all people seeking guidance and support can be their best selves. All people in need who are open to suggestions and willing and able to engage in the therapeutic process can succeed.
