Spirituality Therapists in Wellesley, MA

Currently accepting new clients. I empower individuals to take charge of their lives and create the relationships and life they desire. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, including expressive art therapy, attachment theory, spirituality , and cognitive-behavioral therapy, I help clients identify and address patterns of behavior that may be holding them back. I prioritize the client's needs, goals, and experiences. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process.

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 believe we all have a soul that is radiant and beautiful. Our souls are currently embodied in human form for two reasons: to manifest our soul mission and to experience the fullness of life. If you are not on track with your soul mission or are not getting the desired results in some area of your life, then there must be some type of interference pattern causing a misalignment between the conscious, unconscious, body and/or soul levels. The methodology I developed, Healing from the Body Level Up, clears these interference patterns from all levels quickly, painlessly and permanently.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (-Mary Oliver) Hello! I've had the privilege of providing psychotherapy to clients in the Boston/Cambridge area for more than 17 years. In my practice I establish a caring, safe environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring their concerns. Whether you are new to therapy or have found therapy to be helpful in the past, I use a collaborative process that respects your comfort level and your goals for treatment.

Eager to understand your "true-self"? How are you managing your energy investments? Does your mind consume you? We shall walk together down this and many other paths of inquiry. Being curious is not something that is done, it is an experiential state or a way to "be". Holding the moment in a patient, kind and bonded manner we will share the responsibility to look about at what we find. This will foster the ability for you to commune with the intelligence in your body-mind-spirit. Be informed authentically. From these experiences you will have a variety of skills to be response-able. Mindfully aware of yourself in this world.

I am an experienced, warm and insightful therapist. I work with adults across the life span. I am an active therapist, and I listen carefully. I am interested in supporting patients to understand themselves, their feelings, relationships, behaviors. I find that this understanding, along with the space to experience feelings, leads to the possibility of growth and change. I work with men and women, facing a broad range of personal, work, and family issues. I have often worked with people in their 20's and 30's who want to establish a successful intimate relationship.

Are you feeling stuck, or overwhelmed by your daily life? Are you yearning for more? I believe that one of the most healing things that we can do for ourselves and for the world is to show up as our authentic selves in all aspects of our lives. I feel that it is when we are not, that we see the most challenges. I am here to support you in breaking down ineffective behavior patterns or unhelpful perceptions in order to increase your connection to yourself and your own purpose. In my experience, once we are truly connected to our inner light, we shine!

Are you feeling anxious? Are you feeling stressed from the last few years? Are you depressed? Let's talk and understand together what is going on. Practicing psychotherapy for 7 years. I accompany clients, providing professional guidance to identify and resolve emotional conflicts, distressing behavioral patterns, and seek to find meaning. I draw from a variety of counseling strategies to help client's build on their strengths and attain their goals. I am licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

You can learn about my practice at my website: www.miriamwaldheterphd.com. I offer a collaborative space to address a range of issues, with a particular interest in working with life's big transitions. For example, people in family changes: entering long-term commitments, parenthood, divorce, or grief; or professionals launching their careers and students formulating their vocational goals. Additionally, I work with the complex intersection between one’s identity and community, including but not limited to LGBTQIA, faith, and immigration/acculturation.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I earned my Masters Degree from Boston University School of Social Work in 2000. I have over 21 years of experience working with adults and have practiced in college counseling centers, health centers, and outpatient settings. My approach is flexible and strength-based. I adapt my clinical approach to each client based on their needs to help them make healthy changes in their lives. I offer brief and long-term treatment for a variety of issues including depression, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, stress management, women's issues, and substance abuse.

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.

My practice is dedicated to helping clients deepen their capacity for self awareness and personal agency. As part of our work together I help clients explore and develop insight into unconscious processes, repetitive patterns of behavior, and relational difficulties to understand what gets in the way of living meaningfully and authentically while reaching desired goals. Drawing from psychoanalytic, relational, and mindfulness approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to facilitate a safe therapeutic space conducive to increased intimacy, curiosity, and creativity while building on strengths derived from their unique life experiences.

Emotional healing, self discovery, personal growth and more fulfilling relationship with self and others are all possible through therapy, whether you are at the brink of adulthood or more advanced in years. In my practice, I provide a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to best meet the unique needs of each individual client and couple with special emphasis on insight-oriented therapeutic approach. I have received additional advanced training in psychodynamic modality that drives my insight-oriented approach. I believe that developing insight illuminates the therapeutic journey.

Psychotherapy, as I define it to my patients and students, is the collaborative inquiry between patient and therapist into the patient's patterns of interaction and patterns of expectation. This kind of study leads to greater personal and interpersonal freedom, which allows for the reduction or the elimination of symptoms. Psychotherapy can be of brief duration or an extended enterprise focusing on long term difficulties. The decision on which form of psychotherapy to undertake is usually based on an evaluation of 1 to 3 sessions, where a treatment plan is developed. I am interactive in my approach.

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.
