Alcohol Use Therapists in Wellesley, MA

My life experience has given me compassion for a population of individuals with mental health disorders who flourish in life, given the opportunity.

Yes I'm accepting new clients and referrals. I'm a Husband, Dad and Grandpa and employ those life's lessons, as well as my professional training and experience to help couples and single adults get what they want out of life. My approach is straight forward and solution focused to that objective. As a former police officer, I bring a keen insight to the lives, experiences and challenges that law enforcement families experience. Clients wishing to come to a deeper understanding of themselves, their spirituality and their relationships will enjoy the real life, honest and to the heart approach of my practice.e

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.

Everyone, at least once in their life, finds themselves struggling with life events that feel insurmountable or with emotions that feel outside of their control. I believe that therapy can help with that and bring out your own resilience and capacity to learn. My guiding principle is to provide an open and accepting environment where people can explore their personal experiences and reinforce their well-being.

When human beings are exposed to emotional and/or physical distress, they often suffer long term negative effects over the course of their lifespan. Anxiety and/or depression are often the result of these deeper-rooted difficulties. Coping skills can often be maladaptive leading to behaviors such as substance use disorder and other forms of self-harm. The primary purpose of treatment is to address the negative impact of these experiences and work together in a safe environment to establish both short and long term recovery goals in an effort to reinforce positive behavior change.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents from diverse backgrounds and take a client-centered, solutions-focused approach to therapy. I have experience treating clients with a range of diagnoses including Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, PTSD/trauma-related disorders, among many others. If you are struggling in life, know you are not alone, and choosing to begin therapy can be an excellent way to kickstart your mental health journey and work towards the life you've always envisioned for yourself. My goal is to help you along every step of this journey, no matter what barriers lie in your way.

Dr. Harnsberger's Group Practice, Wellesley Counseling and Wellness, is accepting new referrals at wellesleycw.com. My job is to help individuals and families navigate complex living situations. I do so by creating a safe place for individuals to explore their inner thoughts and actions, and guide them to better understand their roles and opportunities in the world. I specialize in working with the adolescent, college-aged and adult populations, and the challenges that come from it, particularly anxiety, academic stress, adjustment issues, relationship issues, depression and ADHD.

Glad you made it here…I would like to acknowledge that effort from the start. Are emotions driving your behaviors more often than you would like? Is the internal conversation you have with yourself becoming more hostile and critical? Are you finding time slip away onto a phone, bottle, or other mindlessness? Are you looking for ways to find calmness, self-compassion, and connection? I am hopeful I can help you to ease your suffering.

Change is hard. People often seek psychotherapy around change. They want to change. People in their life want them to change. Or some life change is affecting them in a meaningful way. Often, it's a combination. By working together I can help you in this challenge. I frequently work with adolescents and adults struggling with addiction in themselves or in their families. Many of my patients are addressing anxiety, depression, questions or challenges regarding their sexual orientation, infertility, life transitions, traumatic experiences or eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. A lot of my patients are college or graduate students.

I offer psychotherapy for individual adults 18 and older, with a focus on college and post-college adults embarking on life transitions related to professional careers, marriage, and family growth. In my practice I take a collaborative, empowering, and in-depth approach. I facilitate a warm, accepting environment that offers understanding and care, coupled with supportive challenges to help you grow. Whether you are seeking therapy to better manage current life stressors, address long-term issues, or improve your life experience, together we can develop an approach to fit your needs.

The decision to begin therapy, with all of it’s exciting possibilities for growth, is often made during a complicated or difficult time. I approach therapy from a solution focused lens. We will work together to help you take control of your life, by understanding the patterns that have been developed to manage uncomfortable feelings that have been firmly rooted from the past. We will work together to recognize your strengths, develop self-esteem, and strengthen relationships. Through a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies we will create change.

Are you dealing with anxiety, sadness, shame, grief, trauma or stuff you really want to let go of in your life? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, struggling with confidence and self-criticism? Pain may show up as feeling numb or angry, withdrawing from school or work, family and friends. Hiding the stress doesn't help you feel better. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on helping you deal with pain from the past and deal with present challenges with greater ease and confidence. If you'd like to feel better about yourself and your life, I can help you get there.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who values individualized, person-centered psychotherapy where the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change, growth, and healing. I have worked with varying age groups across residential, in-home, and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with OCD, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and difficult life circumstances.

I try to welcome my clients in to my practice by providing a safe, supportive warm, quiet and non-judgmental space. I enjoy working with Individuals, Couples, and Families aged 10 and older. I have treated people with mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, Substance and Alcohol Abuse, Grief, Divorce and other major life stressors. I believe that it is important to look at both the difficulties in life and what works in your life.

I offer a warm, compassionate and approachable environment with hope that each client has chance to be exactly who they are in the moment. I give each client my fullest, as I believe the power of being truly heard and seen without judgement. I believe that therapy is not necessarily about trying to fix oneself or fix one’s life, but an act of self-care. And, that increased self-awareness and self-compassion, both greatly contribute to healthier life and inner peace.
