Female Therapists in Massachusetts

Accepting clients for Tuesday or Friday early afternoon only. Please e-mail. Are you looking for a neutral person to lend an open ear? A box of tissues? A high-five? Or some sound advice? Therapy can provide you all of those things and lead to a transformation in your life. I have seen it first hand in my work with individuals and families. They initially feel very overwhelmed and hopeless. Once we establish a relationship, push through the resistance to change and the "hard stuff"; new chapters quickly start to write themselves. This is the most rewarding part of my career, helping others see their true potential.

I'm a firm believer that you don't need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. Navigating the journeys of trauma, anxiety, and depression can be challenging, but you don't have to face them alone. I offer a warm, compassionate, safe space where your process is respected, valued, and guided with expertise. Empowerment is at the core of my therapeutic philosophy, and I'm here to support you as you reclaim your narrative and embark on a journey toward healing. Collaboratively, we will develop your coping strategies, enhance your self-awareness, and nurture inner resources that will guide you through the healing process.

There are times in life when talking to a psychotherapist is the most helpful and practical way to achieve relief from worry, hopelessness, and confusion. I offer a compassionate and down to earth therapeutic approach providing a safe place for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, resolve relationship issues and alleviate symptoms that are standing in the way of a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. My focus is on helping my clients feel free, rather than trapped, and more connected with others so that they can achieve what they hope for in life, work, and relationships.

Every person needs a place where they feel safe to talk honestly and openly about their life and feel validated in their emotions. I pride myself on being very empathetic and able to meet people where they are at. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with stress, life problems/transitions, self-confidence, or relationship issues; new moms trying to navigate motherhood; as well as those struggling with or know someone struggling with addiction. I work collaboratively with the client to process feelings and emotions and explore new perspectives.

Do you find yourself worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet? Anticipating the worst? Overthinking every little thing and letting your feelings spiral out of control? Are you a people pleaser but then find yourself overwhelmed, frustrated, irritable and always putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own? Does everything feel harder than you think it should? Symptoms of anxiety and depression are often exacerbated by the way we think about and perceive a situation. Changing the way we think we can, in turn, change how we feel.

I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults in a non-judgmental and down to earth environment. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel empowered to set and reach goals, develop positive coping strategies, and build confidence. I pull from various clinical approaches, fine tuning my approach to each individual client and their situation. I have significant experience helping individuals manage and cope with attachment disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, transitional factors, social issues, emotional regulation, sensory processing disorders, PTSD, trauma and adoption/foster care.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I have been working with young adults and adults for over ten years. I have worked with veterans, first responders, those with disabilities. My specialties include but not limited to Sexual Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, Depression and Anxiety. I have been certified through the VA/Springfield Vet Center for specialized training, in Military Sexual Trauma (MST). In the past, I interned at the Springfield Vet Center offering readjustment counseling to combat vet’s and their families.

Hi there! You did it - you took the first step towards your journey to become a better version of you. I'm Sandy, a licensed therapist with 15+ years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, including anxiety and depression. I hold dual master's degrees from Boston University—one in Financial Economics (yeah, numbers are my thing) and the other in Social Work (because people matter most!). During the therapy session, I use a person-centered, and collaborative approach to guide our work together. I prioritize creating a warm and empathetic environment where you feel truly heard and understood.

I have three offerings for summer 2024: 1) For parents of babies and toddlers who aren't meeting their milestones or who you just have a gut instinct that they could use some support, I will be offering in home sessions to develop language, connection, and play skills using connected play and verbal behavior approaches and also support for parents. 2) behavioral play sessions for elementary age to work on social skills, tolerance skill, communicating needs, and coping strategies; this can be a sibling group to facilitate shared play and cooperation and negotiation skills.

Whether you are already on a path to change and transformation or if you're feeling stuck, I hope you'll find a good fit in these pages to begin an important journey. Discomfort or uncertainty brought on by depression, anxiety, grief, early trauma, career shifts or financial stress can throw one off balance and make life feel hard. Setting aside time every week to reflect on your feelings offers a rich opportunity to sort through challenging experiences. I look forward to meeting you and helping you examine aspects of your life that you wish to understand more fully.

Ambivalence about change is universal to us all. It is challenging to question the parts of ourselves that are no longer serving us, and invite space for something novel. In therapy with me, we will reflect upon the aspects of your life that are working for you, and places where you feel stagnant, dissatisfied, or empty. Even the parts of yourself that feel the most frustrating, perplexing, or harmful have arisen in attempts to help you. Together, we will explore all of these parts with openness, curiosity and wonder. I work with individuals who are interested in this exploratory approach to themselves and their relationships.

It takes courage to enter therapy and engage in the process of emotional healing. I am dedicated to respecting and honoring that courage by providing clients with a safe and nonjudgmental space within which deep self-exploration and personal growth can occur. Through this compassionate process clients rediscover their inner wisdom/strengths and reconnect with values-consistent living.
