Therapists in North Providence, RI

DBT sessions now available - With more than 20 years of experience, I'm an independently licensed psychotherapist/owner of a private practice with locations in East Greenwich & North Providence, Polaris Counseling & Consulting LLC. After more than a decade working in private, community, and government settings, I made the decision to devote my time to a private practice providing unique ways to deal with everyday stress, while offering long-term (and scientifically based) solutions to better the mind and body.

Accepting new clients. I am a national board-certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my BA in Psychology at the University of Rhode Island and then went on to acquire my Master’s degree at Johnson and Wales University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I currently work at Polaris Counseling and Consulting LLC and have been in the mental health field for about 5 years now. My experience lies within the school systems and private practice settings.

I am a LICSW in both RI and MA. My ideal client would be looking for a space where they can grow and be challenged while feeling supported and heard throughout their process. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, couples, and adults with substance use disorders. I have a particular passion for working with couples, Women's/men's issues as well as anyone from the LGBTQ+ community. As a self-identified member of the Queer community, I am passionate about working with this underserved population and creating a safe space where LGBTQ+ people can receive support without having to explain their identity or experience.

Expression of Healing counselors are committed to providing our clients a safe space to collaboratively explore issues they may be dealing with. Therapy can be a process to help clients obtain clarity and support while navigating through challenges and struggles. Each client is treated with respect and collaboration will remain a vital piece in the therapeutic work to understand client goals and needs. Individualized services are provided as each client is unique and it is important for us to understand what each individual needs to provide effective services.

I offer person-centered individual sessions, my background, experience, and faith allow me a certain level of cultural awareness, which is imperative for effective therapy. My main goal is to help individuals/families work through whatever the current crisis may be, but also teach or enhance skills to help maintain stability.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing a variety of mental health and life issues. I have extensive experience treating patients who are suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, substance abuse, domestic violence, family issues and relationship difficulties. I practice a holistic approach to therapy that involves mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, spirituality, and physical health. I pride myself on my ability to provide empathy, sympathy, excellent listening skills and constructive feedback to all patients. I want all my patients to feel better about their lives and themselves and to be able to live happier more productive lives.

Why should you choose me as your therapist? I can’t promise you that everything will be ok, but I can promise to help you feel better prepared to face life’s problems. I do not enter into a therapeutic relationship with rigid structure or ideas of how our journey will unfold - you are an active participant in the creation of our plan. I believe that change is always possible with willing participants, and we can always find a way. I work with individuals, couples, and small groups when appropriate. I utilize many modalities along the way with a goal of providing you the skills and tools you need to tackle life.

As a therapist, I practice a holistic approach because I believe all aspects of a client and their experiences are important in providing effective treatment. I have experience working with a wide range of clients of all ages and diagnoses. My goal for all of my clients is to build a relationship of mutual trust, respect, and communication, as well as a safe environment that fosters vulnerability and honesty. Based on individual nuances, I strive to incorporate principles and skills from various theoretical models, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy.

My primary focus is working with individuals with OCD and any accompanying symptoms (Depression/Anxiety... etc.) My style is very laid back and down to earth. Nobody is perfect, and therapy is a team effort! I also work with adults and teens (16 and over) experiencing distress due to anxiety, depression, PTSD, school/college Issues, and substance-related issues.
