Teletherapy for 02332

We all have times in our lives that we struggle, feel stuck, or face challenges. I believe that seeking therapy is a strength and that Therapy is a powerful tool that can result in healing, growth, and positive change. Sometimes taking the first step can be the hardest, but well worth it. If you're ready to take that step, then let me help you reach your goals by working collaboratively together. I have worked with many clients around issues that include anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, women’s issues, parenting, chronic illness, substance use and dual diagnosis.

Creating change in your life and within your family relationships is possible! I support clients through the process of clarifying their goals and addressing the things that have been getting in the way of reaching them. I believe that every individual and family is unique and will provide clients with a balance of warmth and structure as I work with them to target and address the "why" behind their identified problem(s). I'm a family systems thinker and use elements of solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and The Gottman Method approach to therapy.

Currently Accepting New Clients For Both In Person And Telehealth Sessions for After School/Work Hours! - Working with clients, I ensure a safe, private, and therapeutic environment to help prioritize comfort when working through therapeutic needs. A primary focus of mine is to connect with those whom I support in order to promote a humanistic perspective combined with cognitive behavioral therapies. By reinforcing a non-judgemental, unbias, thought facilitation approach, I foster a clinical setting so that we may collaborate to through any presenting concerns.

Are you interested in disentangling from longstanding patterns or opening up to what's next in your life? In my therapy practice, I use a supportive yet challenging stance to help people gain new perspective and learn strategies to allow them to have their temperament and strengths work for them, rather than against them. I aim to work with clients to create an engaged, dynamic therapy experience that can allow people to comfortably explore and deepen their understanding of thoughts, behaviors and feelings and disentangle from habits and thoughts that get in the way of experiencing life and relationships fully.

I am a Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts, specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents and young adults. I aim to provide a culturally responsive, non-judgmental, yet direct approach to therapy, with the goal of helping my clients find confidence and purpose in not only their strengths, but their weaknesses. I work with clients and families to address life’s challenges by helping them to examine interpersonal relationships, process difficult thoughts and emotions, explore healthy coping strategies and find tangible solutions.

Navigating OCD, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions can be emotionally and physically draining. There is little more frustrating than thinking and behaving in the same ways despite knowing they contribute to these issues and other debilitating symptoms. Therapy is a place to safely explore the thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that are interfering with living a more fulfilling and rewarding life. (more info on www.smithlicsw.com)

For me, psychotherapy must address the needs of the person. Sometimes this can mean exploring how you got to the point you are at, and how you want to change; and sometimes you may want specific tools to address a very specific issue. Finding the right therapist is perhaps one of the most important choices you will make and also one of the most difficult. Although a therapist may have an armory of techniques to use, what I have found to be at the heart of any type of psychotherapy is whether the relationship works between you and your therapist.

My approach to working with individuals and families is varied, depending on the specific needs and goals of each client. With a focus on client-centered and strength-based therapeutic models, I have found it most beneficial and effective to incorporate a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Supportive Therapy based on the needs of the individual or family I am working with. Recognizing where my clients are in their growth and development is a key factor in the approach taken when working with them.

How do you decide it's time to seek help through psychotherapy? For many people, the decision is clear; a significant event occurs or disruptive symptoms arise. For others, the decision is less obvious-maybe you haven't been feeling like yourself lately, you worry more than others or just sense that things could be better. As a client-centered therapist, I work with clients on their goals and to join them on their journey to wellness. I offer clinical expertise to provide guidance, new perspectives, and to raise awareness of underlying issues that may be behind current problems.

We all want to feel comfortable and safe. More specifically, most people want to feel effective and confident, especially when it comes to relationships. We want to feel included, appreciated, and loved. Sometimes these things may seem out of reach, or you may be struggling with other challenges that leave you feeling stuck, discouraged, or hopeless. Seeking support from someone with expertise relating to the human experience may be what you need to feel more empowered and in control of your life.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and to enhance their quality of life. My approach to therapy is to support individuals in the process of healing, self-improvement, reconnecting to ones authentic self, and to be a guide in deriving meaning from all of life’s experiences.

You smile and say “I’m fine” but it's not true. You don’t necessarily know what’s wrong so sometimes you even convince yourself you're OK. You feel overwhelmed trying to balance your responsibilities and meet the expectations of everyone around you. You feel depressed and anxious. You’ve learned to cope by scrolling on your phone and self-medicating. You want to learn healthier coping skills. You want to talk to someone who only has YOU in mind. You hear people talk about going to therapy and you think it‘s a good idea but you don’t know where to start. Seeking help, whether for yourself or your teen, can be an exhausting task.
