Self Esteem Therapists in Swansea, MA

As an eclectic therapist, I employ many tools when working with you. With adults, I primarily rely on cognitive behavioral techniques. This is an approach that aims to influence dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and thoughts through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. It is proven to be quite effective with mood, anxiety, personality, eating, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. With children, I rely on a variety of play therapy and behavioral therapy techniques. Your treatment will be influenced by your own needs and symptoms to help you meet to your goals. You deserve to love the life you live!

Welcome! I believe our problems are related to both environmental and/or internal factors, however we don't need to be the victim of our current or life's circumstances. Our healing resides within each one of us, and all we may need is guidance to help us reach clarity to claim our true power within. The author and M.D., Scott Peck states at the start of his book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” When we experience those difficulties, therapy gives us an outlet to sift through those painful emotions of confusion, fear, sadness, and even hopelessness, but most importantly therapy can help give us a new outlook on life.

Realizing you are going through a difficult time and seeking support from a therapist can be nerve-wracking and a little scary... "Am I going to 'click' with my therapist? Will they be able to understand and meet me where I'm at?" My main priority with my clients is to make them truly feel at ease and understood. I prefer to set small achievable goals- ensuring they can be met and remain hopeful about reaching a larger, perhaps intimidating goal. I am rather laid back in style and believe my clients to be experts of their own lives, needing some support in finding answers to solutions and reaching their goals.
