Motivational Interviewing Therapists in 03820

No one person is immune to the trials and tribulations of life ; sometimes a quiet space to explore the ups and downs presented throughout our lifespan can prove helpful in decreasing stress and any unsettled feelings as a result of being overwhelmed - by utilizing therapeutic intervention to address concerns associated with maladaptive coping & overall mental health - the goal is to guide you in living your best life possible!

I have an integrative approach to treating individuals and I focus on compassionate self-acceptance, somatic education and mindfulness in the process of healing. I find worth in learning the language of our nervous system in order to identify our needs in the process of self regulation. We have the tendency to create poor habits to protect ourselves from pain which inevitably exacerbate unwanted mental health symptoms. Clients have mentioned that they appreciate my humor as part of the therapeutic process. It is important that the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for you in your journey to maintain balance and health.

Are you in a difficult place, struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues? Are you confused about what to do next, or how to get out of the pattern? I am here to walk with you on this journey of discovery. I believe in people's ability to change. Even asking for help is a brave place to be. Through counseling we learn to live a full human experience - joy and sorrow, triumph and failure, grief and connection.

Helping people feel whole again! This is a puzzling time for most! We all have parts of us from depressed, critical, worried to parts that are kind, happy and loving. All of these parts together make us the person we are. Although it is usually in an effort to help, sometimes different parts of us take over at the wrong time or do something that doesn’t seem to be helpful. Get support to uncover and be aware of what part is being activated so that you can begin to see things as yourself instead of as a part of you that is broken. Develop skills and awareness as you take a journey to towards feeling more like yourself again.

Life can often be challenging. I am here to help those who are at a point in their life where something has to change and the willingness to make that change, whatever that might look like is now present. Whether the problem is life status, relationship or family conflict, oppositional behaviors or substance abuse/addiction, change is possible. Please email me for fastest response.

Feeling unbalanced, like you’ve lost motivation, or overwhelmed by relationship stress? Therapy can offer a space to calm the emotional storm and reconnect with yourself. I help individuals find inner stability to live their lives with confidence and meaning. I support couples in finding connection and intimacy. Through compassion and connection, we can help you reach your potential.

Reclaiming our lives by working to ground in today and ride out challenges is the thread of emotional work. Loving connections, grounded self-esteem, and mindful self-care can be hard to achieve. Yet when we find success in these areas, the way we experience and navigate our world changes. I create a safe, supportive environment which provides the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of yourself, experience growth, and bring about lasting change. You are the expert of your life experience. Together, we walk through the therapeutic process and hopefully return you fully to the life that's waiting for you.

Are you navigating a difficult life transition? Experiencing anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges? Feeling disconnected from your family?

If you are ready to begin, I will support you in building a healthier you. No matter what your circumstances are, I will work with you on the path to meeting your overall health and wellness goals. Reach out today!

I enjoy working with adult individuals and building a safe therapeutic environment for them to explore their strengths, barriers, and potential. I assist individuals to enhance their self-esteem, self-worth, and also validate their experiences. A common practice that I utilize is guiding individuals to identify, restructure, and replace unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors with healthy empowering ones. In addition, I work with individuals on building and positively engaging with a support network, which is crucial in the recovery process.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 20 years experience in the mental health field, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

I am honored to be able to provide clinical services to those suffering from Substance Use Disorders. My ideal in practice is to form a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients. My style is empathetic, compassionate, and direct. I believe that by exploring thoughts, emotions, and maladaptive behavior patterns, we can become more insightful and understanding of ourselves. Through this vulnerable process we are able to create life-long change that will increase self esteem and the ability to form close interpersonal relationships with those we care about.

I have worked in community mental health centers, school counseling and private practice in California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I provide a safe space to treat various issues for adults 18 and over and couples via videoconferencing. I often utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, yet I often incorporate other approaches depending on my clients needs. I view therapy as a collaborative experience with my clients whom I walk beside and support during our process together. I assist my clients to focus on their personal therapy goals and provide the tools and encouragement to facilitate positive change and personal empowerment.

I focus on working with couples and individual adults who are dealing with trauma, identity/cultural issues, depression, anxiety, or past trauma (such as abuse, neglect, or separation from, or loss of, loved ones). I can help you excavate your past trauma in a way that helps you understand it, and how it may be impacting what is going on with you in the present moment so you can feel more in control of your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your relationships. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please go to www.alliancementalhealth.org and get in touch to set up an appointment.

Perhaps you’re down or anxious. Maybe you’re unsure about the future of a relationship or you feel as though you aren’t living the life you were meant to lead. Perhaps you’re thinking that something is getting in the way of your ability to function at work or other environments that are important to you. Life can be challenging – whether the challenges are sudden and unexpected or build up over the course of years. In sessions I promote behavioral transformation through collaborative efforts and solution-focused interventions to help you get back on track, identify and achieve your goals, and reach your greatest potential.

**Unfortunately I am not currently taking family cases due to COVID. Are you or someone you know struggling with managing emotions-anxiety or depression, are there sexual concerns for yourself or in your relationship, or are you struggling with adjustments in your life, maybe starting a family or parenting children who struggle with behaviors? If so I would love to hear from you in order to see if I am a good fit to help. I love working with all types of family systems, currently with couples or individuals. I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.

I have fifteen years of experience as a psychotherapist, partnering with men and women to address a wide range of concerns. I collaborate with clients to explore patterns, often contributing to emotional pain, while helping to make meaning of their feelings and experiences, resulting in self-awareness and healing. The counseling process allows one to identify core issues and develop more effective coping skills to ultimately result in meaningful and lasting change.

Wellness is more than an absence of problems; it is an experience of living life to the fullest. Recognizing that the resources for healing and negotiating interpersonal conflicts already exist within us, I rely on a sensitive understanding of each individual and the unique abilities they can further develop to achieve their goals.

Do you long for greater fulfillment at work? Are you considering a career change? Do you want to apply your professional skills and strengths in more rewarding and competitive ways? Drawing on more than 20 years experience in business consulting and career development, the focus of my counseling is on the transitions - planned and unplanned, that we encounter in life. These may involve life changes, education, career, or health matters, among other things. I can help you identify and build on your strengths and resilience for greater success and happiness as you move forward.

Life can be busy, hectic and non-stop. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some space and time set aside just for you? To breathe, slow down and reconnect with yourself and your own needs. In these moments of pause, a wellspring becomes available to support you in regaining balance between your mind, body and soul and to help you become the best version of yourself - one that can experience peace and stillness, even in the middle of a storm. This is why I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you can be your authentic self, and feel safe in order to heal and grow.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I consider myself a "person centered" therapist who believes that the key to having a successful professional relationship is building a strong rapport with my clients. Since obtaining my Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College in 1996, my career work settings has included community mental health centers, hospital based gero-psychiatric units, emergency services, private practice and residential treatment centers.
