Therapists in 02421

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Life Coach, and Reiki Master. I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out and I celebrate you for showing up for yourself. I offer virtual therapy, specializing in life transitions, anxiety, spirituality, self-esteem, and existential challenges. I’m also a mother and understand the demands this can place on us while also balancing and navigating relationships, work demands, as well as identity. As a Reiki Master, I'm very attuned to clients' energy during sessions and I’ll support you with connecting to your intuition and mind-body connection.

Is purity culture or religious messaging preventing you from dating, sex, and healthy relationships? Have you rejected old religious beliefs but feel "stuck" making your new beliefs a reality? I help millennials like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine CBT, IFS therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues; cultivate self compassion; create new, healthy relationships; and step into your sexual liberation era. I also offer CPT Intensives for those who want to heal NOW and don't want to spend months or even years in the traditional therapy model.

I feel very fortunate to do the job that I do and I approach therapy as a real collaboration between my clients and myself. I believe that people already have inner resources needed for exploration and healing and that therapy is a place where we can work together to discover and utilize those resources. I would describe my style as warm and interactive; I ask questions, I give and seek feedback, and I often use humor. I also focus on being present and open with you, listening with full, active attention in the moment. Overall, my hope is that when you come here, you’ll feel heard, supported, and like you can be yourself.

You've sought me out for counseling because you experience a significant discrepancy in your life between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. You're seeking to have positive mental health, that is, to know yourself, to be yourself, to expand your capacity to care for yourself and others and your world, to maintain humility, and to maintain hope. You're aware of the fluctuating nature of your functionality: at times you function well, and at other times you don't function as well as you'd like to. You're aware that, at times, you have experienced distress, that is, difficult life moments. You're ready to create a better life.

I specialize in intensive psychotherapy with more frequent sessions to enable greater depth of treatment. Therapy with me begins by reflecting on your experiences while trying not to judge them. I take a compassionate approach to understanding your problems, your desire for change, and your difficulties in making changes. Better understanding your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships could enable you to make more informed life decisions. I am flexible and collaborative in my approach, looking for ways to work well together.

Welcome! We are accepting new clients. We accept insurance and offer telehealth appointments. I takes courage and strength to reach out for help. We are here to support and guide you so that you can make the changes you need and ultimately, reach your goals. We have seasoned therapists with a variety of areas of expertise. You and your therapist will begin a journey toward the kind of life you have always wanted. We teach you practical tools whether you're struggling with anxiety or a relationship, we can help you achieve the goals you desire!

If you're feeling off balance - challenged by life's transitions, significant loss, difficult emotions, feelings of confusion, or relationship problems - therapy can help. My view towards therapy is “there is more right with you, than wrong with you." This was said by Jon Kabat Zinn, an early champion of mindfulness in the U.S., and it points to our inherent strengths. I believe we all have the capacity to live with a sense of peace and calm within ourselves and with others. I also believe it’s hard to make changes alone. We can’t think our way out of problems but most of us spend a lot of time trying.

Do you feel frustrated? Frustration tells us that we want something to be different.I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I assist in helping others improve their mood (anxiety, depression, bipolar ), process complicated grief, chronic health complexity and many other issues. During therapy sessions, you will always be treated as a unique person with your own specific needs. It takes courage and perseverance to find a therapist that fits your needs. I encourage you to schedule a 15 minute call with me.

I am a therapist with an Ecopsychology specialty offering a strengths-based, relational therapy with lots of interaction, collaboration, warmth and humor. I have been helping individuals and families in both mental health and education for over 30 years. I work with adults seeking help with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. I have a deep belief in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and offer you my years of professional, as well as life experience.

My 20 years of working with adolescents and their families has taught me to approach clients with a non-judgmental, non-authoritative attitude. This helps clients take an honest look at their lives and identify what things need to change or be accepted. Meeting a client without preconceived expectations is critical because it gives me a chance to see the client from her/his own point of view. Also, I work very hard to not act too "therapisty," which is something that often hinders therapy with adolescent clients in particular (e.g., "How does that make you feel?").

I've been in private practice since 1980 - and I love my work, probably even more than then. My clients are mostly adults, with an occasional primary school age or adolescent child. As psychotherapy has become more accepted, older adults have become more likely to come as individuals and occasionally with a partner and/or adult child. It's wonderful to see people grow and be relieved of their emotional burdens - Freud didn't believe it was possible to do psychological depth work after mid-life, but was he ever wrong!

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

Therapy can be an important aid in managing transitions, stresses, and crises. It can also provide a safe and supportive context to address longstanding struggles with depression, anxiety, or other concerns. I am a psychodynamically trained therapist who also utilizes cognitive behavioral and relational approaches. My clients describe me as attentive, supportive, and non judgemental. I view therapy as a collaboration between myself with my professional skills and training, and you with your knowledge of yourself and your desire for support and change. I am an authentic, active therapist who approaches therapy gently and directly.

I provide highly personalized services to children, adolescents and adults with complex mental health needs in a fee-for-service model. Clients who resonate with my approach are looking for someone to be thorough, flexible and results-oriented. For minors, parents looking to be involved in their child's care tend to benefit most from what I provide. I bring clarity and action to complex diagnostic questions, family dynamics and significant behavioral concerns.

I enjoy working with adolescents, teenagers and adults who have trauma histories and traumatic loss. I believe that with every trauma comes opportunity for spiritual, emotional and relational growth. As a Social Worker and family systems therapist, I work with clients to address depression, anxiety, and trauma, from a wholistic and systemic perspective.

I am a caring, compassionate, professional therapist, highly experienced in providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My greatest asset is that I am highly committed to work with you in helping you experience relief from emotional pain, find fulfillment and love in your relationships with others, as well as peace, acceptance, and joy in your relationship with yourself. I consider my work my life's work. My clients find strength within themselves and in their relationships, as they seek to live with understanding and love more effectively each day. I am honored to be part of your journey.
