I am a social worker at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety helping clients of all ages. I have experience helping people struggling with OCD, anxiety, and related disorders, and particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent, queer, and gender nonconforming clients. My goals are your goals. I am a firm believer that I, as your therapist, should not be someone that is telling you what kind of person you should be. I am the resource and guide on your journey to transform into the version of yourself you would most like to be. Your life is your story, and you deserve the tools to write it.

As a service provider for over 20 years, while having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons are learned. As a service provider, more than the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served may be needed. As a QTBIPOC service recipient and clinician, I understand the importance of having access to safe and affirming service spaces. Services that actively understand the power behind intersectionality. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together we are strong.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, loss, oppression, life transitions, capitalism, difficult relationships, or existential thoughts. I can help you explore your inner world, navigate the challenges in your life, and learn skills and tools to help you move through your life with more grounded ease and joy. Let’s make positive changes together that enable you to feel more nourished and alive each day.

All people at some point will find themselves stuck, unsure of the path they are on or the choices they are making, or hoping to improve the relationships they are having with themselves and others. Therapy can be a useful space to help people unlock the solutions within themselves and foster positive changes, personal agency, and sense of self-worth. I offer therapy that is rooted in principles of flexibility, responsivity, collaboration, and creativity. We will clarify and work towards goals of your choosing, such as concrete behavioral changes, accessing resources, deepening emotional understanding, or improving relationships.

I see clients virtually in California and Florida and in person in western Ma. People enter my therapy practice for all sorts of reasons. You may be at an impasse or a crossroads due to the loss of a relationship, a big life decision or general anxiety that you can no longer bear on your own. You may be suffering from the wounds of homophobia, transphobia, racism, white supremacy and patriarchy, on top of other traumas and early childhood wounds. Regardless, I seek to offer a safe space for you to access a deeper understanding of yourself and your underlying needs and motives, as well as a personal sense of freedom and empowerment.

Note: I am only accepting full-fee pts at this time. I apologize my sliding scale is full! (04/2023). It is my belief that healing happens in relationships, and therapy is no different. We will orient our work toward what matters to you most, and through somatic tools, relationship building, and exploration of different parts of self, you can practice having choice over your patterns of being, relating, and feeling. I acknowledge the role of systems of oppression on mental health and wellness, and have particular training supporting an increased sense of safety, dignity, and belonging for those who have experienced trauma.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of anxiety, unsure of how to break free from its grip? Have you found yourself entangled in the complexities of your relationships, seeking a way to build stronger and more meaningful connections? Or, perhaps, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, have you faced unique challenges that have left you searching for understanding and support? These are the questions that have guided me on my journey as a therapist, as I have made it my mission to help individuals like you find answers and solutions to these complex and deeply personal challenges.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, or struggling with issues related to your LGBTQ identity? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions that seem impossible to break free from? If these questions resonate with you, I want you to know that you are not alone, and there is hope for a brighter tomorrow. My name is Andie and I am a therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ-related issues. I am here to help you navigate your unique journey towards emotional well-being and self-acceptance.

What is it like to be you? My approach lies in creating a meaningful and authentic relationship with my client where there is security and openness to fully explore areas of difficulty, pain, joy, and growth. Together, we can address concerns surrounding anxiety and mood, coping strategies, identity and self-worth, disconnection, and transition/loss that may be impacting wellbeing. I aim to help others cultivate a greater understanding of and compassion for themselves, increase the ability to make choices and try new ways of being, and make changes that reflect core values and aspirations.

Let's find the real you. Trauma impacts everyone differently, but with the right support, anyone can heal... including you. I believe that inside all of us is an authentic self that has been buried by painful learning experiences, and I want to help you rediscover who you truly are. Your journey will not be easy, but at least you'll have our support while you're on it. I specialize in working with individuals ages 18+ who are struggling with trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity, adjustment problems, grief, self injury/suicidality, and anxiety. Gender affirming care and therapy related to gender affirming medical treatments available!

My name is Jesse and I am a White, non-binary identified licensed social worker and therapist living in Boston, Massachusetts. Before going to graduate school for social work, I got my bachelors degree in documentary film. While I love creating art, I found that my passion lies with working alongside people and supporting them through growth and healing. I feel passionate that everyone has the capacity to change and live within their values, and sometimes, we all just need support along the way!

It’s essential clients are seen for who they are and given tools that resonate with them to do the work that therapy requires. This means merging our body and mind, our values and actions, and our personhood with our community. I support clients with these meaningful tools and empower them through life's transitions by increasing insight and skill building. One such tool is using Tarot, which can provide perspective or be used as a powerful projective tool regardless of spiritual affiliation. My ultimate goal is to integrate Eastern and Western ideologies into my practice to provide effective personalized mental health care for all.
