Therapists in Providence, RI

Dr. Livia Freier is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in anxiety and depression, as well as ADHD, adjustment difficulties, eating disorders, and couples/marriage conflicts. Additionally, Dr. Freier works with clients who would like to gain a strong sense of self and build self-confidence both long-term and situational. Her practice is open to individuals, couples, and families. Dr. Freier also focuses on working with college students and their families. Her neuroscience research is affiliated with Brown University and her practice is located within close walking distance of the Brown University campus and RISD.

I focus on careful assessment and helping those in need of clinical services using a variety of evidenced based approaches. In my practice, I use a variety of treatment modalities such as individual, couple, group, and family therapy depending on individual needs. I have much experience working with psychiatric and behavioral problems such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, trauma-related disorders and so on. Teaching individuals how to manage and cope with symptoms of grief, marital problems, family conflict, divorce, parenting issues, and other relational problems are additional areas of specialty.

My clients would describe me as direct, caring, humorous, action and solution focused. I help individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, infidelity, work conflict & stress related issues. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based form of treatment. CBT targets your thoughts and perceptions that contribute to the emotions and experiences you feel. Together, we will identify your problem areas, their contributors, and focus on learning the skills and solutions necessary to overcome them.

I am a Licensed Counseling Psychologist in New York and Rhode Island. Born in San José, Costa Rica and raised in the New York City Tri-State Area, I identify as a bilingual (English & Spanish) and bicultural therapist. I provide individual therapy to teens and adults. I have focused my clinical work on providing care to disenfranchised, marginalized, and underserved groups. I believe therapy should be a place where you truly feel safe and comfortable enough to discuss everything going on in your life. I see the therapist-client relationship as unique, and a collaborative alliance.

Every individual has the right to a healthy, well-lived life. The right to feeling whole, complete, balanced and purposeful. This concept of a well-lived life needs to incorporate all aspects of an individual: their mind, body and environment. When that balance has been disrupted, emotional pain and physical maladies can occur.

How do you make a relationship work when demands seem overwhelming and conflict escalates quickly? How do you overcome resentment, infidelity, or a lack of trust? How can you transition into a new phase of life without losing connection with your significant other? Couples Counseling facilitates an understanding of critical dynamics, gives partners the tools to connect, and creates a foundation for a true partnership. At MindWell Psychology, Dr. Livia Freier offers traditional couples counseling as well as counseling intensive programs for couples who wish to experience fast progress or those unable to attend weekly sessions.

Are you looking for help finding a better work or life situation? a new career or job? or deciding what career path to take? I am a career coach and certified psychoanalyst specializing in helping people thrive through work and life transitions. As a former executive of both marketing and human resources, I have offered practical coaching and supportive counseling for over 15 years to executives, managers and students. http://www.worklifetogether.com/

I believe in a holistic, strength based individual model. I strive to provide a culturally informed, social justice and empowerment oriented approach. Using this affirming therapeutic relationship, we can build goals and strategies that fit who you are as an individual. We can together use this foundation to better understand how you experience life and transform this self discovery into change. I work from a strength focused, collaborative approach, combining insight about the self with concrete strategies that help you build skills to combat your issues.

I work with people who are in the process of awakening from old, limited ways of seeing and being in the world. Awakening can be simple, such as when you start noticing that you haven't been present to your loved ones. It can also be deep and profound, like realizing that you're not happy and you want to live life in an entirely different manner. If you've been suffering or struggling in silence, it may be time to really focus on YOU and what you want out of life.

Examining thoughts, feelings, and emotions connected to old patterns is a path that leads to self-discovery and understanding in how you are currently functioning. I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 11 years of experience in the field. My work spans across different developmental stages from adolescence to late adulthood, including group therapy work and couples therapy. Likely, the hardest part is beginning to understand why things really aren't working- I work with clients in a clear, approachable manner, so we can pinpoint the root causes and create a goal-oriented framework for progress.

I offer online and in-person individual therapy to older adolescents, college students, and adults of all ages. My areas of specialization include: anxiety disorders, body image and eating disorders, trauma-related concerns, relationship difficulties, work with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, college student mental health, couples therapy, and identity/personal values exploration. I emphasize cultural humility and sensitivity as I get to know my clients, and I am affirming of the multi-layered and uniquely intersecting identities that they hold.

Greetings! My name is Alex. At Providence Wellness, I support people of all ages who struggle with trauma, the education system, parenting, and day to day life in today’s complex society. My therapeutic approach is trauma informed, culturally aware, structured to empower clients, and shift their self-awareness.

Therapy can make an enormous difference in people's lives. I've seen it again and again. And if you're considering therapy -- alone or with your partner -- you've probably reached a point where you realize that things need to change. Getting that change started is a big step. And finding the right person makes all the difference. I'll want first and foremost to understand the situation you're in, and to get a sense of how you see things. I'll want to understand what you've been experiencing, and what sorts of changes you'd like to see.

Life can be difficult and the path may appear unclear. Have you experienced unexpected bumps or turns in the road? Feeling stressed? Or at a crossroads? Empowering Road can help you navigate the next steps of your healing journey. At Empowering Road, we honor the differences that make our individual and collective experiences unique. We believe healing can be an empowering journey. Clinically crafted, quality care that is culturally sensitive with an empowered strengths-based lens, is the heart and minimum standard of service our clients receive. Feeling anxious, sad, unmotivated, ambivalent, or tense? Let Empowering Road help.

My commitment as a therapist is to provide a warm and affirming environment where clients can receive support metabolizing trauma and restore a sense of safety, trust, and authentic re-connection to themselves. Utilizing a psychodynamic approach that is nurturing, collaborative, and informed by an anti-oppressive framework, I work with clients to navigate the heartache of grief and loss, to explore how past relationship dynamics impact them in the present, to attend to ways of adapting that no longer serve them, and to learn new and alternative ways of relating.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you can begin or continue your journey to wellness, empowerment, self-acceptance and peace of mind. You will have access to proven therapeutic approaches such as CBT, DBT and the innovative Lifebook Technique that I developed over 25 years in practice. Lifebook facilitates and enhances negotiation skills for achieving reciprocal relationships through proactive communication, self-advocacy, emotional regulation and empowerment. Experiencing positive outcomes, a safe and nurturing internal dialogue replaces self doubt while experiencing internal validation independent of external validation

**I am licensed to provide therapy in RI & MA** I don't believe that therapy has to look or feel like therapy as it is often represented. Together we can approach life's challenges in an intentional, action oriented, person centered and thoughtful way, in order to help break and change the patterns that have too often rendered you "stuck." To assist in making these changes, I provide the direct and honest guidance and feedback that is absolutely necessary to any successful therapy, while fostering an environment where you feel able to take the risks to grow, adjust, and adapt. My guiding principle is that change is always possible.

NOTE: the only insurances I accept are the student insurances for Brown University and Tufts University students. I help students, artists, athletes, and other high-level performers bring out the best in themselves and each other. I specialize in healing trauma, anxiety, creative and performance blocks, existential and relationship issues, and the impacts of social forces on mental health. I tend to fit well with patients who are smart, creative, funny, introspective, curious, and ready for change.
