Therapists in Massachusetts

Hi, I am Donna Bequette. In a warm and connected relationship the potential for healing begins. My skills-based approach to counseling promotes growth and well-being through collaboration, active listening, and effective interventions. My experience includes working with survivors of trauma along with many other issues...including but not limited to stress, depression, anxiety and loss. I also work with couples to resolve communication issues and loss of connection. In a holistic approach; we process on all levels; cognitive, emotional, somatic, social and if desired, a spiritual focus...combined, this can create lasting change.

Nancy is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who has a strong conviction in human resiliency. Her philosophy is that personal challenges provide opportunities to reclaim Power, Identity, & Healing. Her work has included experience in an array of clinical settings & training with experience with Adoption, Couples, Trauma & complex Family issues.

My therapeutic orientation is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which means we’ll explore the connections between the ways you currently move through the world and the ways you learned how to make sense of the world. I also draw from somatic therapies, helping you bring attention to the way the body stores emotions and experiences and releasing those that no longer serve you. I use an anti-oppressive lens and, following Liberation Health, pay close attention to the way cultural and institutional factors contribute to your health. I believe that therapy is one part of a process toward connection and a sense of belonging with others.

The choice to prioritize your wellbeing is not always easy. We're glad you’re here. We provide a collaborative, honest and authentic approach. We hold space in a supportive, fluid and comfortable place where we can laugh, cry, swear or whatever you need. You’re the expert of your life and are the driver of your sessions-we help you navigate on your journey to healing and self-discovery. We, as humans, are ever-evolving, and so is our growth. When you’re ready, we can build an authentic, honest and supportive relationship with one another to explore, navigate and identify to create and empower you to lead the life you want to live!

Have you been to therapy in the past? Perhaps you worked with a traditional talk therapist, gained considerable awareness, yet at the root things have not changed. Maybe therapy has been helpful in some ways, but you have not felt truly seen or met. Does your current struggle feel bigger than you at times? Perhaps it feels connected to trauma of previous generations but you can't explain why. Trauma is an energy that remains stuck in the body and gets passed down genetically- until acknowledged and felt. To heal from trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, we need to understand how the body holds trauma as well as the wisdom and route towards healing.

From self criticism to self compassion. An open calm curious genuine exploration No shaming, no judgment only a question: What happened? What curve balls did life sent your way? My approach is holistic integrative and relational. If it works for you I will introduce you to a tool box of resources: somatic, energetic, EMDR, Flash etc as together we make sense of where you are now, what you are feeling, how to help you shift to a place of renewed empowerment and control, to be who you want to be and feel how you want to feel? A system/soul update to a renewed place of joy peace and harmony.

As a queer Caribbean-Indigenous woman, I specialize in supporting individuals who are seeking to reclaim, integrate, and heal from traumatic and challenging life experiences. My work focuses on helping clients cultivate healthy relationships and navigate through intersectional identities and social structures. I am passionate about guiding individuals towards embracing multidimensional experiences that foster personal wellness.

Adeline Dettor is dedicated to empowering couples, young adults in their twenties, and working professionals to break free from the grip of painful emotions and unproductive relationship patterns. Her expertise with grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma are accompanied by an approach to therapy that creates space for curiosity and for seemingly small and inconsequential observations to grow into life-altering insights.

<- New sessions available on nights & weekends - New couples welcome -> Are you living with destructive habits or persistent traumas? Our present lives can be weighed down by patterns that were established a long time ago. That can include the over-and-over fights in relationships or the lingering pain from childhood. My goal is to support you to explore how your histories and patterns influence your life today and then to continue the ones that serve you and to change the ones that don’t. I support you to build new boundaries, to quiet shame and to invent new narratives of possibility to achieve the growth you're looking for.

I started my career after graduate school running group homes for adolescents. I also spent time working in a residential treatment program for adults with eating disorders, and maintained a small caseload for individual psychotherapy.For the past 13 years, I have been in private practice full time providing psychotherapy to individuals and some couples. In the past few years, my interest has turned to experiential therapies such as Internal Family Systems, Psychodrama, and Gestalt. Other strong interests include Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing and Attachment Theory. My work is trauma-informed and holistic.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious and motivated for change. I focus on building relationships with people so they may deepen their awareness and understanding of themselves and their experiences. My work connects clients with their strength, intelligence and embodied experience to expand their inner resources and feel empowered to make lasting change. I specializes in working with complex trauma, sexual trauma, attachment issues, relationship challenges, sexual health, gender and identity issues.

You appear to have it together all the time, but deep down you feel a chronic sense that you are falling short, imperfect or not good enough. You may be exhausted from the voice of imposter syndrome. Holding boundaries is so hard. You feel so much pressure to get it perfect or get it right. You question your capabilities. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to let go of questioning yourself. You’re ready to move past the fears that keep you stuck. Most of all, you’re ready to trust deeply in your worth and capabilities

When we experience trauma, lose a loved one, have chronic pain or illness, or navigate difficult relationships, grief is present. If you are facing these or other challenges— such as depression, anxiety, infertility, or major life transitions – it can be helpful to have support. I partner with people to process grief, find healing, and move towards increased connection with self and others. My somatic therapy lens can support you in better understanding your body’s response to experiences, bolster self-compassion, and effectively navigate your life with more ease.

Does life feel overwhelming right now? Does just getting through the day feel like a challenge? Maybe you are feeling anxious or are struggling with past or present difficult experiences. Maybe you “have it all together” on the outside but feel lost, hopeless, disconnected, lonely, overwhelmed, or afraid on the inside. Has parenting become difficult and stressful? Or are you or your teen struggling struggling with adolescent issues? It is incredibly brave to reach out for support after trying to manage it all on your own. I would be honored to share in your journey toward healing, supporting you with empathy and acceptance.

I believe that we all get stuck sometimes. We find ourselves in difficult situations and we don’t know what to do. Other times we feel trapped by our painful pasts. At times, we aren’t sure what the problem is, but we sense there must be more to life. Whatever the reason that brings you to therapy, we can work together to uncover and resolve what’s happening, clarify what matters most and help you to feel stronger and freer to live more fully.

Welcome, you made it. Take a breath. My name is Liz and I offer a variety of therapeutic services for humans of all kinds. Many people I see, from adolescents to those in late adulthood, move through the world with queer and/or neurodivergent identities. They are seeking support managing the impact of chronic trauma, anxiety, stress, and depression, or looking for help navigating life transitions, peer relationships, and family interactions. They're looking for a reprieve from the inner critic and racing thoughts, they want to regain control, and feel peace. Most of all they want to be seen and heard for who they are.

An integral part of healing from stress and trauma is connecting with and befriending the body. I support clients in finding a sense of safety, embodiment, and connection within themselves as a basis for healing, growth and self-discovery. When we have support to feel, express, and release emotion, space for new possibilities opens up. I'm honored to hold space for that to happen. Recently, I've been deeply inspired by Hakomi Therapy, a mindfulness-based method — I will complete the two-year post-graduate program in March 2025. I am a clinical social worker, as well as certified in both Kripalu Yoga and Somatic Expressive Therapy.

(NOTE: I have little to no availability. ) Do you struggle with the effects of a difficult childhood, have an addiction, had a life-changing accident, or experienced an abusive or controlling relationship? If so, you probably don't enjoy life as much as you'd like. Our work will be both a partnership and an exploration, working at your pace. I'm trained as a psychotherapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I value working collaboratively, at your pace, towards building greater resilience, feeling safer, and resolving areas of difficulty so that you can enjoy yourself, your relationships and your life more.
