Therapists in West Concord, MA

As a clinical psychologist in the Boston area, I work with adults and older adolescents going through transitions, who would like to understand how their past affects them now, and who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. If you are struggling with relationships, marital/family or work difficulties, depression, pandemic-related stress, anxiety, acculturation, career choices, college adjustment, grief, or other life problems, we can work together to reduce distress and work on patterns that interfere with your life to make lasting change. I also offer short-term therapy for college students located in MA during the summer.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing online individual psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents. I work with clients to address a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and identity issues, life transitions, anger, pandemic-related stress, and trauma. Psychotherapy facilitates growth and change: emotional wounds heal, a stronger sense of self emerges, and possibilities for the future expand.

I believe the first step to helping people with their unique challenges is to build a connection founded on compassion, collaboration, and respect. To me, the therapeutic relationship acts as the foundation of a successful treatment plan. My goal is to act as support and encouragement as you face challenges, heal, seek out positive change, or search for a deeper understanding of yourself. I'm a bilingual therapist and provide services in English or Spanish while utilizing a dynamic style of treatment that combines aspects of CBT, talk therapy, person-centered therapy, art, writing, goal setting, meditation, and more.

Currently not accepting new clients for the next 3 to 4 months. Do you feel like something is off or missing from your life? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck? Have you been feeling tired, frustrated, anxious, worried, and/or sad? If you are searching on here you are seeking help and in the right place. If you are looking for a therapist you are most likely seeking change and relief. Life is short and you should enjoy it but stress can interfere with this, so let me help you. I can help.

Welcome! I have experience working with people of all ages who have found themselves faced with anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, life transition and stress, parenting challenges, social and relationship issues, and feeling stuck in general. My approach is highly relational, warm, supportive and sprinkled with humor when appropriate. Our initial sessions will focus on building trust and using collaboration and curiosity as we develop a plan to address your concerns. I firmly believe that we all have inherent resources and strengths within us that can be tapped into to support the process of healing and growth.

As psychotherapist, coach, and career counselor, I'm committed to helping you find wholeness through cognitive, insight-oriented, behavioral, mind-body and mindfulness approaches. I have worked for over three decades assisting clients with both the practical and emotional issues change often requires. During Covid-19 you may decide to focus on: contingency planning if your organization should fold; work on your resume; ramping up virtual networking; learning additional stress management techniques; support with emotional challenges; creative ways to deal with isolation and loneliness.

Is your anxiety or stress feeling out of control? Is weight loss seeming impossible? Is insomnia contributing to daytime sleepiness and nighttime anxiety? Is your mood and/or lifestyle stopping you from taking good care of your medical condition? Are key relationships causing stress? Together, we can address the problem, using scientifically-validated treatments within a supportive and respectful environment. The mind-body connection provides an important framework for treatment. My background and training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I use other research-validated treatment approaches as they fit your situation.

My ideal client is someone who is experiencing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. Ideal clients experiencing these challenges will want to grow, utilize self-reflection, and find ways to cope with personal challenges. Goals could include establishing and maintaining relationships, practicing coping skills, changing behaviors, healing from trauma, and building positive habits. By incorporating CBT and DBT techniques, I will help you develop healthier thought patterns, establish and maintain healthy relationships with yourself and others, and develop skills to manage and tolerate stress.

Currently Accepting Clients. Are you struggling? Have you recently experienced a loss or a failure? Is that depression stubbornly refusing to lift? Are you exhausted by anxiety? Re-experiencing grief, trauma symptoms and relationship difficulties? Do you find it difficult to sleep? Mental well-being and physical health are intertwined, so it's critically important to take care of your mental health without delay.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and positive change. It can be scary to ask for help, but with a therapist who is the right fit, real improvements can be achieved. I work from a trauma-informed approach, and believe that looking at both our past and our present circumstances can provide a lot of insight into times we're feeling stuck. Utilizing warmth, empathy, humor, and tangible practices to affect change, I look forward to each session with each client to assist them on their journey to self-discovery.

I like to provide clients with practical solutions they can utilize in their day to day lives to help them better manage their emotions in order to achieve more balance and harmony within themselves, and with others. I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients feel both supported and respected. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which we work together towards goals that feel both realistic and manageable. I work collaboratively with clients helping them understand patterns of behavior and thinking, through a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

When you're ready, seeking a good therapist should be straightforward. I work hard to be available, efficient and responsive to your concerns. When you contact me your care begins with a review of your situation and needs. My style is both supportive and collaborative and I take care to ensure that your treatment is individualized. I use only evidence based approaches with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My training and professional experience allow me to address a broad range of issues that include: depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic medical issues, relationship/work conflict, and major life transitions.

My ideal client may have a difficult time identifying their emotions and feeling like they are not “allowed” to feel emotions. My ideal client may tend to intellectualize or overthink their experiences. This person may work hard to maintain a high standard that is often unrealistic. My ideal client may have a history of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and chronic illness. The client’s goal is to learn to understand how they feel and give themselves permission to feel the way they do. This client recognizes that they are feeling overwhelmed, resentful, anxious, frustrated, sad, angry and they are looking for a change.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a space in which clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences while feeling safe, heard, and understood. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based. I weave in aspects of a variety of other styles including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and social thinking components based on the unique and individual needs of each client. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults on topics including; anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, school related concerns, trauma, and low self-esteem.

I believe people sometimes underestimate the power of talking. Having someone listen with an attentive and empathetic ear can be a cathartic experience. I practice with the philosophy of working to fully understand and appreciate each and every client I work with. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where you can say anything.

I have expertise in working with children and adolescents, as well as, adults. I focus my clinical work on supporting clients with addressing their needs around anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, as well as addiction, and substance use. I have worked for years on supporting students around developing executive functioning skills. I also have extensive experience working with families addressing the interpersonal dynamics within a family system to support the family as a whole. I enjoy working with parents to do therapy and coaching for working with their children when they are presenting with challenging behavior.

Are you struggling with knowing how to support your child's or your own mental health? Is your child's anxiety stopping them from trying new things? Has your teenager lost interest in things they once enjoyed and is increasingly isolating themselves from friends and family? As a parent/guardian are you struggling with figuring out ways to help manage your child’s behaviors successfully without losing your patience? We try to teach and model ways our children could work through life's challenges, but we don't always have the tools. If you can relate to any of the above, I would love the opportunity to help.

Everyone can benefit from better self-understanding. Sometimes our anxiety, depression, and internal conflicts can affect our relationships with others and the world in which we live. By creating a safe environment for expressing thoughts and feelings, I am able to help those who enter into a therapeutic alliance with me improve general satisfaction in interpersonal relationships and life.
