YOU are so much more than a diagnosis or category. The challenge we all share is how to make meaning as human beings in a chaotic world. I work with creative people, perfectionists, harsh self-critics and existential thinkers; with singles, couples & especially groups. I have expertise in helping people recognize problematic substance use, with Harm Reduction as a philosophical approach. . I enjoy working with young and early-career adults. I look forward to beginning a group for seniors, to discuss this meaningful chapter of life, and all its challenges. I enjoy learning from the people I see.

I offer nonjudgemental, client-centered practice and have experience working with adults struggling with a variety of complex challenges including: anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorder, co-occuring disorders, stress, legal issues, chronic illness, and interpersonal conflict. My goal is to join with you the client, in a whole-person and solutions-focused framework to address short and long term goals. I enjoy meeting people "where they are at" with a warm therapeutic style that encourages curiosity in a safe, but brave space. My style allows for client to lead, with my clinical lens to challenge, and support new ideas.

I am currently accepting clients 18+ who are struggling with ongoing substance use, or individuals who are currently in recovery and would like support navigating life stressors. Identifying the need for support to reduce or quell your substance use is a significant first step in the recovery journey. Whether this is a new venture for you or you have benefitted from addiction counseling before, I am happy to be on your team and help you achieve your recovery goals.

In a time post pandemic where everyone is trying to move forward in life, we all have had to adjust to how life has changed over the last three years. Our relationships have changed, mental health issues have been on the rise, substance use has been on the rise and these changes not only effect us but they have effected our entire family systems.

Welcome to our practice! Our passion is helping others improve the quality of their lives. We have specialized training to help folks suffering from PTSD, as well as depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and grief/loss. Clients describe us as compassionate, nonjudgmental, gentle, and direct.

Hello! My name is Greg Corbett and I am a LMHC in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working as a therapist on some level for the last 7 years. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the pleasure of having two separate internships; one at a rape crisis/domestic violence hotline and one at a substance use treatment center. Through these two internships, I was able to learn what it was like to be a therapist and discover that I wanted to continue to pursue my education to become a therapist myself.

We all have inner resources, but it can be easier to find them with the help of a compassionate listener. As we gain insight into patterns and ideas about ourselves that no longer serve us and start to release them, places of inner constriction and tension start to unwind. We come closer to the simple truth of who we are, leading to more freedom, spaciousness, and peace. Together, we can foster a sense of curiosity and openness, and help you discover new aspects of yourself and your potential.

I’ve been a mental health counselor for 20 years and I am also a Certified Grief Specialist. I have a passion for helping people experiencing grief and loss. Loss can be concrete or abstract. Many major life changes can lead to the feeling of grief, including the death of a family member, friend or pet; or the loss of relationship or a job. The journey of grief is an individual one, and can be lonely, but you don’t need to walk it alone. I am here to help you navigate the difficult journey you are on.

Life is never straightforward, and we are often left facing changes that are both surprising and difficult to navigate. Our shift into a new role, a disappointment at work, a problem in a relationship can cause us to feel anxious, angry, sad, and confused. We try our best to manage these struggles and their resulting shifts in mood and achievement, sometimes using coping strategies that turn out to be more problematic than helpful. We are left thinking, what happened? Will I ever feel like my old self? Why can't I just get over this?

A wise doctor once wrote: "It is more important to understand the person who has an illness than the illness a person has." This is even truer for emotional problems than physical ones. Likewise, without understanding the context of a person's life and family, past and present -- one cannot really begin to help the person. I have worked for many years with young men and women of all ages with addictions, family and relationship issues, and the universal challenges of depression and anxiety. Certainly there are commonalities among the problems they present, but it is the uniqueness of each of my patients that leads to change.

Are you pregnant, or in the postpartum time struggling with adjustment to an expanding family with new needs and roles? Are you grieving the loss of a pregnancy or struggling with becoming pregnant? I am a trained and experienced perinatal psychotherapist to walk with you on this journey of family planning, transition, adjustment, mood and anxiety changes. Support during this time can be critical for individuals in the reproductive years, and for the family as a whole.

I am dedicated to improving quality of life for my clients.

Is your life starting to become unmanageable? Do you feel like you need to make a change, but don't know where to even start? Are you struggling with substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, or relationship issues. If you or a loved one can relate to any of these issues and could benefit from additional support and assistance in setting personal goals then please reach out to me to schedule an appointment. ***If you are a family member seeking help for a loved one, please contact me so we can discuss how I might be helpful.

It's inevitable that one's emotional life will get tangled at times. It's a sign of maturity and resilience to be willing to look inside with curiosity and do some self-development work. My interest and joy is empowering my clients to learn practical, applicable skills to mindfully manage unwanted patterns and cultivate new ones. My approach often uses mindfulness to create a more spacious, patient, and compassionate response to moods, emotions and thoughts. Cognitive therapy is wonderful way to actively re-program our thinking, and we might use yoga skills to tune the body, mind and nervous system to work for you, not against you.

Do you ever find yourself facing the same challenges, repeating patterns, or feeling stuck in your life? It’s like there’s a hidden script influencing your actions and emotions, and you can’t quite put your finger on it. This could feel like lack of self confidence, feeling sad or fearful, relationship challenges, or physical pain. I work with couples and individuals to understand how past relationships and events influence the challenges of today. By understanding the “how”, we cultivate a profound self-awareness that empowers you to find new ways of being and feeling that better serve you.

For some, one of the hardest things to do in life is ask for help. Often times, we are conditioned from a young age to believe that asking for help, especially with our mental health, is a sign of weakness in strength or character. That message, along with several other factors, lays the foundation for days, weeks, months, or years spent struggling with trauma and/or various emotional, behavioral, social, or relational issues. I will empower and encourage you at every step to make the changes you want and need.

It takes courage and awareness to reach out for support, and I am glad you are here. I strive for our work together to feel immediately comforting, meaningful, real, and effective in getting to the heart of your core concerns. I work from a trauma-informed, context informed, integrative framework in a warm and interactive environment, drawing from holistic, cognitive, and psychodynamic perspectives and I am a DBT and EMDR certified practitioner. Our relationship matters the most in terms of building trust to achieve goals. On that note, I am a Jewish Therapist. If this is of concern for you, I suggest seeing alternative referrals.

We live in a traumatic world and the effects of this trauma are a heavy burden on our backs. We carry many things with us in our lives. This stuff clutters our closets, makes it hard to walk around our basements and gets in the way of our progress. I help my clients use images, objects, and memories to call forth their stories. Then I support them in learning the skills to retell these stories in a healthier way and to let go of the burden of trauma.
