It can be lonely and scary to navigate the darkness we feel after experiencing adversity, trauma, and issues with mental health. People who have experienced grief, loss, abuse, etc. often feel a sense of confusion and disconnection from their own identity. My intention as a therapist specializing in trauma is to meet you where you are and guide you safely through your unique healing journey. My office is a judgement free zone where you can unpack anything. Everybody deserves to find their way back to themselves, their light, their voice, and their wellness. It is an honor and a privilege to sit with you for this process.

I work within a psychotherapy model that is called AEDP. AEDP is an approach to healing that starts with the premise that all symptoms are creative adaptations to painful or traumatic circumstances. We recognize the resilience underlying symptoms, as opposed to viewing symptoms as a pathological. AEDP is grounded in affective neuroscience and in psychotherapy research.

Relationships and life transitions often involve loss, grief, and sadness. Emotional pain, moreover, often makes everyday life seem unbearable and exhausting. Outpatient counseling and psychotherapy - both marital and individual - can facilitate the relief of the sadness, confusion, and anxiety that are part of working through personal and relational stressors. The approaches and models in which I have been trained and educated - interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies - are also informed by and infused with with the essential, humane and core qualities of empathy, understanding, warmth, and genuineness.

Therapy can make an enormous difference in people's lives. I've seen it again and again. And if you're considering therapy -- alone or with your partner -- you've probably reached a point where you realize that things need to change. Getting that change started is a big step. And finding the right person makes all the difference. I'll want first and foremost to understand the situation you're in, and to get a sense of how you see things. I'll want to understand what you've been experiencing, and what sorts of changes you'd like to see.

Greetings! My name is Dr. Christine McAuliffe. Since "McAuliffe" can be a mouthful & takes way too much time to type (and not just for kiddos!), I also go by "Dr. M."

I have dedicated myself to helping my clients deal with a wide range of issues, including adjustment difficulties, divorce, developmental challenges, parenting skills, behavior issues, learning problems, anxiety, ADHD, depression, foster care placements, child abuse, and trauma.

I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients: I practice with the core belief that every client possesses answers within themselves to address and resolve their issues or difficulties. Many times those answers or truths are not clearly visible to the person due to factors such as unhealthy/familiar patterns, addictions/compulsions, mood/anxiety disorders just to name a few. It is therefore my job as the therapist to help clients not only overcome these factors to discover their truths but also to put these new patterns and truths into action. Once achieved the client can access a more balanced and satisfying life.

I am committed the belief that individuals and families generate positive change when given an effective set of knowledge and tools.

Therapy is a place to explore how you feel, think, and live in the present, all of which is influenced by your past. The core beliefs and feelings we hold about ourselves are the key to how we live our lives. When these beliefs are negative they lead to unhappiness and a feeling of being stuck in life. This may come from past and present day experiences, dysfunctional habitual patterns or a distressing event(s). We are extremely loyal to what is familiar, even when it is not working.

Welcome. My clients are looking for an experienced therapist who helps them develop goals and suggests "homework" assignments--giving them feedback and practice outside of session. They might feel "stuck" and want relief fast, but are willing to examine how they got here. We focus on strengths, what they've done that is working, and self-care (whole person) as a priority. Relationships are important to them as is learning how to communicate and set boundaries effectively. The family we grew up in can shape us in different ways, which is why I do a family tree with every client I see. Licensed in RI and Massachusetts Telehealth.
