Therapists in Providence, RI

I take an embodied and client-centered approach when working with individuals, couples, polycules, and families, I enjoy working with issues from a systemic lens, actively bridging transgenerational and historical events and situations with presenting concerns. I am dedicated to helping clients process and work through issues relating to trauma, abuse, gender identity and non-conformity, career advancement, non-monogamy, classism, racism, and sexism. I am well prepared to support clients in breaking through destructive patterns in pursuit of deeper satisfaction with life, career, and relationships.

Relationships and life transitions often involve loss, grief, and sadness. Emotional pain, moreover, often makes everyday life seem unbearable and exhausting. Outpatient counseling and psychotherapy - both marital and individual - can facilitate the relief of the sadness, confusion, and anxiety that are part of working through personal and relational stressors. The approaches and models in which I have been trained and educated - interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies - are also informed by and infused with with the essential, humane and core qualities of empathy, understanding, warmth, and genuineness.

I work with people who want to improve the quality of their life. Whether it is a mood disorder, traumatic experiences, PTSD, relationship issues, medical illness, performance enhancement, or stress management, therapy can be an opportunity to put your life in order and to learn life sustaining skills. My style is supportive and collaborative. I am trained in EMDR, Marriage and Family Therapy and as a Medical Psychotherapist.

Are you often overwhelmed by painful and unwanted thoughts, memories or emotions? Do these experiences interfere with your ability to engage in the activities you care about the most? If so, you've probably tried many different strategies to control or avoid your suffering. Perhaps you feel that your suffering is overwhelming and you cannot see a way out. The good news is that you are not alone, we all suffer and many, many people have found ways to transcend their pain and build better lives.

People tend come to my practice because they're looking for a collaborative, purposeful, and nonjudgmental space to work through social, emotional, or sexual issues they're tired of struggling with on their own. Many of my clients are LGBTQIA+ people who take comfort in the fact that I'm already knowledgable and experienced with queer issues. I also regularly work with people experiencing anxiety and depression, people recovering from abusive relationships, and people experiencing sexual difficulties including pain, dysfunction, and shame around their desires or behaviors.

There is not a singular source to our suffering. Turmoil can originate in, and travel through, our bodies, minds, communities, families, and sociopolitical systems. Often, we respond to inner turmoil in two extreme ways. We may excessively worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous or distressing, or say 'it is hopeless,' and check out. Therapy can help us gain access to our grief and pain while developing the wisdom that comes with renewed commitment to our lives.

"Life-Craft: The Art of Living Wisely and Well." That's what it says at the top of the home page of my website (www.counselorprovidence.com). If that sounds good to you, please visit the site and see specific areas in which I can be of help. You'll also find useful and encouraging information about my background, training, interests, and more. (I provide services via telephone to people outside the greater Providence area. Currently my long-distance clients include people from Florida, Illinois, and California. Phone sessions really do work!)

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.

WELCOME! Life has become extremely uncertain and more difficult in every way! However, there is hope. If you are feeling stressed, anxious and scare this is a great time to reach out and find support. My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate through challenges, validate your feelings and emotions in a non-judgmental environment as we discover ways to relief those difficult moments.

Many persons can benefit from supportive services, especially during particularly difficult times in their lives. The first steps in seeking out help can be difficult or feel intimidating, however. Therefore I make every effort to help an individual feel comfortable and respected in this process. My training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy leads me to take an educational approach, so that an individual can more clearly understand his or her own difficulties, and then begin to understand things in a new way, so that he or she can begin to feel less stressed and more in control.

You may be here because, you're looking for something deeper, sustainable, and something that works with your body, not against it. You have an inner feeling that the way you've been living is not the only way, that something can change. What if I told you, that the emotions, symptoms you experience, the challenges you face all make sense. Let's dive deeper.

With over thirty years of human services experience I have witnessed significant changes in the field as a response to critical events, issues and the way that we perceive recovery, wellness, progress and adjustment. I am well practiced in various treatment modalities such as motivational, cognitive-behavioral, dialectic and psychodynamic therapy. My treatment approach is always client focused and driven. I have been privileged to work with diverse populations, taking into account social and cultural factors with understanding and sensitivity. I specialize in family therapy, trauma, PTSD and grief counseling.

I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 32 years. I have always felt it is a privilege to work with people and help them achieve the life they desire. My approach is to help people look at past events and experiences which affect their mood and behaviors today and prevent them from getting what they want in life. I also focus on the present by teaching people skills to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. We set goals together and work towards meeting them. I will be offering mindfulness-based treatment for anxiety and depression for individuals. Accepting new referrals for a wait list.

Like Streams, healing comes in many forms. It will follow its path until it reaches its destination...an ocean of possibilities. I am Esther Veras-Ferreira, a licensed behavioral health clinician, LMHC,CAGS, with a vast experience that has enriched my understanding, sensitivity, humility and acceptance of individuals from various walk of life. I have a compassionate and caring approach that consider to be essential for building a meaningful clinical relatioship. If you're seeking an experienced therapist who has the privilege to love what they do, please call us for a consult.

Are there love, work, family, or personal circumstances that you would like to discuss? Are you having symptoms that are causing you distress or interfering with your daily life? Are there changes that you wish to make or life transitions you are trying to get through? Are you struggling in your relationship and needing to find new ways to communicate, a new perspective on your partners, or a better way to understand your partner?

A non-judgmental environment where you can explore your real feelings can make a world of difference and help you find solutions that are right for you. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed; are unhappy and don't know why; if you keep having the same pattern of problems at work or in your relationships; or if you simply want more out of life, therapy can help you achieve change in unexpected ways. Change can come through understanding how childhood shaped your experience of self and others. We collaborate to help you grow at your own pace.
