I have been a psychotherapist for 48 yrs. and a therapist-at-heart for much longer. To make this an optimal experience for you we will stay close to your desire to grow and heal. In our working relationship it is essential that we have an open and honest communication about all aspects of our work together. I understand it takes time for trust to develop in order to discuss certain concerns freely. I expect and welcome your feedback about what is useful and helpful and what you think might be changed for the better. You bring powerful resources to this therapy and I will encourage you to get to know them and practice them.

It seems like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work or isn't long lasting. Young adulthood can be difficult; their personalities change and you fear that they might not overcome their challenges. Not only do I work with teens, but also adults who are experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and family issues. It can be nerve-racking to reach out to a counselor because you want to ensure you find someone who you can truly connect with.

If you need direction and support solving a disturbing problem or managing an emotional state, I know that addressing this need quickly is important. I will meet with you within two to three days of your call. My approach to therapy is to focus initially on solving the problem in partnership with you quickly and efficiently. If this does not bring sufficient relief, I invite my clients into a longer deeper process of understanding the situation and its complexities. I encourage the use of communicating via email between sessions. I have evening and Saturday hours available to insure accessibility

I work with individuals coping with stressful life situations, problematic behaviors, and difficult emotions. I am skilled and experienced in supporting those struggling with ADHD, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma.

I have a concentration of clients among college age students, and young adults. I specialize in eating disorders, and related issues. I also have a strong background in the performing arts, and see a significant number of creative clients. For twelve years I worked in a college counseling center. This has afforded me the opportunity to work with students who struggle with the concerns of people in their late teens, early twenties: depression; anxiety; ADD; OCD; substance abuse (as well as the more common issues surrounding living away from home, roommates, academic rigor, awaking sexual identity, etc.)

Together we will explore the events and patterns that have shaped your life in order to understand your current situation. As connections are made between past and present, you gain insight and perspective in a way that helps you to manage things more effectively. New skills replace old ways of coping in an approach that balances exploration with teaching practical and concrete ways to manage distress. My aim is for you to feel supported, understood and encouraged to learn more about yourself in order to experience your struggles differently.

For over 30 years I've been helping people overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. I have special expertise in the treatment of anxiety, depression, addiction, and emotional issues related to physical illness. My dual background in Public Health and Social Work enables me to help people who have both psychological and medical issues. I'm a strong advocate for family, peer and community support when acceptable to my clients.

Everyone needs support at times of transition and stress. These situations may be varied, from relationship difficulties, to illness, to the death of someone important. Or you might be in a place of wanting to have a deeper, more connected understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, I am here to gently support you while also playing an engaged role in our time together.

I invite clients to a safe, warm and supportive environment to process overwhelming emotions, hardships and life transitions. I specialize in young adults, college students and adolescents facing anxiety, stress, grief and adjustment to life changes. I believe healing comes from self-awareness, self-love, and compassion. Through counseling, we build a foundation of skills leading to insight, making space for balance and well-being. As we establish a strong therapeutic alliance, we will work together to identify strategies, coping tools and self-care routines that best support you through your emotional, social and personal growth.

I provide individual and family therapy to individuals who are looking for help to cope with life's various twists and turns. I utilize an organic approach to gain an understanding of your specific life situations and stressors that are contributing to your current feelings. I use positive affirmations, strength identification and skill building to encourage you to reach your personal goals. We will work quickly to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms while we learn to identify triggers that may cause these feelings in order to focus on making long term changes that will help you to move forward through life.

Are you feeling stressed out? Do you feel stuck or have repeated arguments with other people? You tried a couple extra drinks at night or long walks to calm down. Things just don’t seem to be working. No one expects to feel overwhelmed, but it happens to most of us. The question then becomes, “What’s next?” Psychotherapy is empirically shown to be helpful for people struggling with emotional stress. I use various evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, MI, and ACT. Now might be the time to try something new.

My Name is Deborah Aloisi, I'm an independent social worker in Massachusetts, offering individual, couples, and family counseling. Solutions can come at the speed of life starting in the moment with Rational Emotive Behavioral therapy and sometimes Gestalt theories to explore repeated patterns. Often with anxiety the creative brain is turned off leading to depression. The creative state of mind can be reactivated leading to better outcomes; with families, individuals, codependency, family systems regarding addiction, and people who are coping with adjustments to a new and stressful life-events.

Hello! Are you suffering from increased anxiety, depression or feeling more isolated than ever? Or perhaps you are grieving a loss, such as losing a loved one, a job, your “normal” routines (the loss of how your life once was.) Are you a new mom who is struggling to care for your newborn without the help of friends, family and community? With the current global pandemic now, more than ever, working through difficult emotions and having a sense of connection is so important.

Often, behaviors that limit us result from beliefs and feelings of which which we are not aware. To this end, my approach goes beyond coping strategies; I offer therapy that focuses on how we relate to ourselves and others as the key to a more fulfilled life. I believe that what creates disconnection in our relationships is not always obvious and that conventional knowledge can leave us feeling unprepared to navigate relational challenges.
