Therapists in Massachusetts

Currently Accepting New Clients ..... “Do you feel like no one understands the difficulties you are experiencing? Do you feel like you are falling into a deep confusion? Are you in need of clarity and support? You don’t have to be alone in your struggles”. I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist, practicing in Boston, MA since 1998. I treat individuals, couples, and families with a range of mental health concerns and personal problems, such as addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and personality disorders.

Update 4/15/24: I have an every other week virtual opening. I am a clinical psychologist, staff psychologist the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, with a small private practice in Brookline. I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy(CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic therapy. I use skills training where it can be helpful. I work on tailoring my approach to patients' specific needs, and take on a pragmatic, engaged role in the therapy process. Please note- I am not in network with insurance but can provide claim forms.

I like to work relationally, which means that we, together, work on whatever challenges present themselves for you at this time in your life. It is my belief that each of us holds the answers to our own life challenges within ourselves. Therapy can create a supportive framework that can help clear debris from life's path so that one can see one's path more clearly. Adult life is often connected to our history, and the culture/environments we grew up in. Therapy can be a place to understand the threads between past and present. I often work with folks who are becoming parents. This phase is complex and can stir the silt of our story.

During this challenging and difficult time for all of us, simply talking to a therapist can help alleviate stress. Feeling fearful, anxious, depressed, lonely, scatter-brained, unfocused, angry, fatigued, numb are all possible reactions to the state of our current world. You may feel none of these and want to explore something completely unrelated. Our first conversation will give you a sense of whether it's a good fit. Trust your instinct. If it doesn't feel right for any reason, I encourage you to keep searching!

Relational Life Therapist. Cross cultural therapist. I help couples (and other dyads) get to the source of their issues and learn how to create the relationship they long for. Some dyads that see me may be on the brink of relationship rupture and dissolution. Some may be stuck having the same arguments with the same lack of progress and feel like Sisyphus with his boulder. Some may be ahead of the game and seek therapy before they ruin a good thing. All of them want to learn healthy relationship habits that stick. The individual clients I see often struggle with spiritual questions, self acceptance, and/or relationships.

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Northampton, Massachusetts. I have worked with adults and college students for over 25 years. My areas of specialization include depression, bereavement, loss, anxiety/stress and sleep difficulties. I also provide treatment to people with relationship, self-esteem, life transition and academic issues.

I am a psychologist who began my career as a dancer and then became an expressive therapist, which grounds my treatment in both psyche and soma. I love working with couples around relationship issues and sexuality. My work is both psychodynamic and cognitive, drawing on the integration of logic, philosophy, and emotion. The most crucial component of successful treatment is a good sense of humor. I work to create a safe space for exploring any emotion or pattern, no matter complex.

Now Accepting New Clients! I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker and Psychotherapist for And Still We Rise, LLC. I believe that we heal in relationships and am passionate about co-creating healing spaces that go beyond traditional talk-only, skills-based, and/or medical models of care. My approach includes highlighting clients’ existing resources and helping build new ones; unpacking how privilege and oppression impact clients’ lives and the therapeutic relationship; exploring internal conflicts; and offering a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed therapeutic space.

We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

My extensive journey as a counselor has taught me that, wherever one finds oneself in life, lasting change is not only possible, but within reach. Embracing an integrative approach to psychotherapy, I draw upon a rich tapestry of modalities in order to tailor a treatment plan to each individual's unique circumstances. I encourage clients to build upon their own strengths and to tap into their innate desire to flourish. I create a therapeutic space free of judgment or prejudice. I believe that treatment is fundamentally an interactive process in which the client will develop and foster the skills to live fully and with meaning.

May I begin by writing that I recognize your courage for seeking help. You or a family member must be struggling right now. If life looks bleak, please know that there can be hope.

What stands between you and your Happiness? I welcome you as we develop trust and explore what is getting in the way of you experiencing a more satisfying life. I have been privileged to work with children, teens, and adults with a wide variety of family histories. Often our childhood experiences play a big part in how we develop as adults. Post COVID 19, some have a new set of fears and real issues regarding work, health, and relationships. I have specialized and trained with ADD, Depression, Trauma, and, Anxiety, and there are many tools (Mindfulness, CBT, Compassionate Inquiry) that we can explore to see which is most supportive.

You may be struggling with a life transition, a recent loss, or long standing depression. Perhaps, intimacy and positive, productive communication with others is a challenge. A comfortable relationship with a skilled, non-judgmental therapist is invaluable. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and certified psychoanalyst. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Together, we can gain insight into your inner conflicts and the external events that overwhelm you. This understanding opens the path to making better choices that lead to personal growth and satisfaction, and enhanced inner comfort.

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.

You've sought me out for counseling because you experience a significant discrepancy in your life between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. You're seeking to have positive mental health, that is, to know yourself, to be yourself, to expand your capacity to care for yourself and others and your world, to maintain humility, and to maintain hope. You're aware of the fluctuating nature of your functionality: at times you function well, and at other times you don't function as well as you'd like to. You're aware that, at times, you have experienced distress, that is, difficult life moments. You're ready to create a better life.
