Therapists in Needham, MA

I believe all individuals are capable of healing and growth. Having a safe, trusting relationship with a therapist can be an important part of that process. In my practice, I aim to create an open space for us to work towards your goals while allowing you to feel heard, cared for, and accepted.

I am a Clinical Social Worker and provide psychotherapy in Metrowest Massachusetts. I have been working in the mental health field since 1999. I offer a safe, inclusive and non-judgmental environment for adults. I take an active role in the therapeutic relationship to challenge clients to change and gain clarity. I have a special interest and experience with mens' health, young adults, college students, LGBTQ and adults with learning differences or neuro-atypical / neurodivergent (ADHD, NVLD, Asperger's, high functioning Autism (ASD). I also offer Clinical Supervision to Social Workers.

Welcome to my practice! I invite you to consider working together to address your specific goals and challenges in a supportive and collaborative way. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults with issues of anxiety, specific phobias, depression, trauma, mood dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions and building coping strategies and resilience. I believe that with challenge comes an opportunity for inner growth and strength. Mindset is a powerful tool that can help you to feel strong, calm, and confident.

(I AM accepting new patients at this time. Private Pay or BCBS only) I value and respect diversity. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and believe we have much to learn from each other. Through Telehealth and in person services, I have been working with clients with a diverse range of needs. My immediate focus is on establishing a trusting relationship with clients and working together to address whatever clients are struggling with in their lives. I value collaboration, focusing on strengths, and utilizing those strengths to overcome difficulties.

Learn strategies for living with less stress, and a greater sense of well-being. Excessive worry, managing work/life balance, dealing with difficult relationships, getting "unstuck" from unhealthy habits, and other challenges can be managed using effective and easy to learn principles and practices. I offer the MINDFUL LIVING WORKSHOP to bring the benefits of Mindfulness Meditation to the rest of the day.

As your therapist I want to build a safe and connected relationship where we can work as a team to determine how to handle challenging thoughts, feelings, or situations more effectively. What changes to you want to make in your life and what's getting in the way? We will identify key values and behavior to grow into. My goal is to foster a sense of compassion, curiosity, kindness, and openness to the therapeutic process and teach the skills to transfer these qualities of being to your life wherever you go. We will learn skills and techniques to accept the challenges of being human while still living in line with your ideal values.

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.

I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with a range of people who have complicated backgrounds and experiences, including trauma. I counsel adults, couples, parents, families, pre-teens, adolescents and veterans. At its core, my style is warm and empathic. I will also take an active and engaged stance in order to challenge my clients' limiting beliefs. Ultimately, I focus on helping clients alleviate their pain and suffering so they can find their potential and live life fully.

For over 25 years I have helped adults, couples, teens and children find ways to manage anxiety, depression and trauma in order to achieve an increased capacity for enjoyment in relationships and life. I strive to create a safe environment, where taking risks to connect with emotions leads to increased insight and motivation to change. I take an active approach to help clients achieve their goals and resolve their problems. When treating children, I work closely with parents, providing careful guidance about how to help their child develop and thrive.

A lot of thought can go into choosing a therapist for you or your family member. Therapy starts with a unique personal relationship that has appropriate professional boundaries and allows you to explore your present dilemma and its relationship to your inner life. With children I use play and talk. With older adolescents and adults therapy is primarily verbal but it is always important to keep a sense of playful exploration even when facing difficult or painful issues. If this approach sounds right for you contact me to set up an initial visit. I am only working virtually via Zoom and no longer working with children under 12.

A client recently told me,"You have this amazing ability to listen and give me support in such a caring way that I always leave with a positive attitude. I have learned so much about myself." Finding a good therapist on the Internet can be challenging. The process may feel overwhelming or arbitrary. The most important indicator of success in therapy is the connection you will build with your therapist. My objective is to help you find answers, make decisions, and unload burdens in a way that feels comfortable for you. My clients routinely report improved mood and greater insight.

I have twenty years of experience providing psychotherapy for couples, adolescents, adults and families. My style is interactive, warm and compassionate. I offer coaching and easily usable strategies along with deeper dives to help improve how a client is feeling. I believe in using clients' strengths to help inform the work we do together. I believe in understanding what is going well as well as understanding where people are struggling. I have a strong respect for all of my clients and believe in providing a safe, trusting environment so clients have space to discuss what feels challenging at this time.

Personal life transitions, relationship challenges, and school or career junctures present ideal opportunities to engage a therapist. By developing self-awareness and committing to improving outcomes in one's work and personal life, individuals often achieve far more than they'd previously imagined. As a psychologist and coach, I integrate the use of inquiry, insight, creative problem-solving, thoughtful self-reflection, hands-on "homework" assignments, and honest conversation. I will fully engage with you as a thought partner, a sounding board, and a confidential resource to help you alleviate stress and reach your potential.

I understand how difficult seeking help can be for many teens. With over 25 years of experience, I'm able to engage the most challenging young people, so they can get the help they need. I specialize in working with teens who are struggling across multiple domains in their lives (school, peers and family). My approach is both trauma-informed and strength based. I have extensive training in ARC (Attachment Regulation and Competency) interventions, DBT, and CBT. My experience running mental health programs affords me a unique understanding of educational, justice and mental health systems.

I am an experienced Social Worker who has worked in a variety of settings over the last 13 years. I offer supportive psychotherapy to adolescent and adult clients. Most of my practice has been focused on working with adolescents, young adults, adults and families. I am a strengths based clinician who meets clients where they are in life and provides tools on how to continue moving forward. I offer a calm and engaging presence where I listen to my clients. Clients in my practice are looking to gain perspective with regards to their challenge, improve relationships, reflect and make decisions.

I offer treatment to children, teens, and adults with a collaborative and honest approach. Dependability, curiosity, and kind humor help me to form the therapeutic alliance needed to reach important goals.
