"I'm a Husband, Dad and Grandpa and employ those life's lessons, as well as my professional training and experience to help couples and single adults get what they want out of life. My approach is straight forward and solution focused to that objective. As a former police officer, I bring a keen insight to the lives, experiences and challenges that law enforcement families experience. Clients wishing to come to a deeper understanding of themselves, their spirituality and their relationships will enjoy the real life, honest and to the heart approach of my practice."

"I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist who works with individuals of all ages and various presenting concerns, but I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-35) who are experiencing mental health, substance use, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). Drawing from various theories in understanding the roots of suffering and discontentment, I take a non-judgmental, curious, compassionate approach to guiding you to a place of healing and wellness."

"I was trained in an eclectic program and like to cater our treatment to your specific needs. I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults and have a specialty in eating disorder treatment. In addition, I have training and experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, self-injury, relationship issues and life transitions."

"A wise doctor once wrote: "It is more important to know the person who has an illness than the illness a person has." I have worked with adolescents and adults for many years, with a specialty in substance abuse and addictions. But my practice is not limited to this: I see many people with both long-term and acute issues: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, among others. In all cases, my approach follows that credo: that each person is unique and must understood for who he/she/they are."

"Are you dealing with relationship/intimacy difficulties, symptoms of anxiety or depression, academic or career questions, life transitions, emotional and physical trauma/PTSD? Not easy. Life is filled with challenges, requiring work and courage. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, focusing on helping people deal with personal, familial and professional challenges, understanding past and present influences but with an eye on future directions. I have over over 15 years experience and expertise in individual and couples work. I feel fortunate to love my work."

"I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from Pepperdine University, and my BA in Psychology from Boston University. I have worked in the adult mental health community in California for over 20 years and have extensive experience in leading group therapy and individual case management. My clinical focus is: groups and individuals with bipolar disorder, major depression, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse use disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental illness and psychiatric disorders. I also offer couples and family counseling."

"Dr. Mark Geer, Licensed Psychologist, past President of New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis, past President of New England Society for Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation, member of American Psychological Association. Private practice 25 years,and extensive training in psychotherapy and hypno-therapy. My approach to helping is collaborative, empathic and offers a working alliance based on mutually identified goals. I work from the Ego State Therapy model: #1. Identify personality aspects that harbor pain, trauma, anger or conflicting emotions; promote resilience,inner strength,and confidence; and activate expression and work through emotions that block happiness and healthy relationships."

"I have worked with diverse populations and people of all ages ranging from 4-74 years old while working in community mental health. My clinical experience also includes treating children and adolescents with trauma and severe emotional and behavioral issues at two residential schools. I currently focus on children, teens/adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy working with (and working alongside) athletes, taking a sports psychology approach. I also have a strong history of working well with clients who have not responded/had difficulty engaging in traditional therapy."

"Welcome to my psychology practice. I am a clinical psychologist and relationship therapist in Wellesley Hills. Come to my office and/or we can work remotely via a confidential internet connection. Areas of expertise include relationship concerns, issues unique to men and women in our rapidly changing society, and increasing sexual satisfaction in long-term relationships. I work with individuals and couples who wish to deepen emotional or sexual intimacy, improve communication, strengthen their romantic bond, heal from affairs, and folks who feel addicted to pornography or other sexual outlets. I also address depression, irritability, low self-esteem, anxiety, etc."

"For over 20 years I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families to increase their satisfaction, pleasure and functioning in relationships, work and school. I help people address feelings like depression, anxiety, anger and insecurity along with behaviors that may include addiction, poor school/work performance, ineffective communication or infidelity. Working with couples is a major focus in my practice and a topic I teach to both graduate and post-graduate students."

"My practice is comprised of individuals and families grappling with a range of issues from addiction to high conflict divorce and college transition difficulties. Many of my clients are navigating with the strain of divorce and are seeking to learn skills to co-parent young children despite high conflict with their ex-spouse. Others are parents devastated by the ravages of addiction on their child and, ultimately, their family. These clients are motivated, competent and capable, but are experiencing discomfort in their lives that requires empathic support and guidance. "

"I have worked as a psychotherapist and and guitarist for over 30 years. It seems clear to me that there are many parallels in these activities. Both are above all else, "a listening gig". I find myself committed to becoming a better listener to my clients and musical collaborators. I have experience with a variety of traditional therapies. I am interested in the interplay of psychodynamics, creative processes, mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) and meditation practice to make life more enjoyable for my clients, musical collaborators and myself."

"I have more than 30 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of individuals, couples, and groups. I am open-minded, warm, and have a good sense of humor. As an experienced institute and workshop leader for the Northeastern Society for Group Psychotherapy, I've led many training sessions on group development and practice. I've found that people grow in groups and learn as much from each other as they do from me as leader. Also, having EAP experience, I work with employees around substance abuse and anger management concerns."

"My practice provides safe and supportive environment to reduce pressure, discomfort, fear of judgment creating an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and validation. This setting allows to speak openly about physical, emotional, and psychological concerns, to freely express doubts, believes, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, and concepts. I encourage, but not pressure, exploring difficult situations, traumatic events, defense mechanisms, malfunctioning schema, identifying patterns, values, beliefs, connections between past and present; building on strengths to overcome challenges, realize potential and find meaning."

"Practice currently full. There are certain times in our life when things get complicated. When they do, we may experience anxiety, depression and/or relationship difficulties. I will provide a safe, nonjudgemental environment, where we will collaborate by utilizing your strengths; to indentify and understand how past experiences maybe effecting your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With understanding the different parts of yourself -which we all have - will give you the tools you will need to move forward in a more positive, productive and confident manner."

"In my 7 years as a Therapist and Social Worker, I have been privileged to work in a variety of settings. These settings include a Massachusetts Department of Mental Health group home, psychiatric and local community hospitals, colleges, and the Massachusetts prison system. In these settings I served clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, family conflict, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD and more."

"I am a high energy, direct, relational therapist. I work hard to help clients articulate their goals and then take measurable steps towards achieving them. If you are looking for a therapist who is lively and a "straight shooter", I might be a good fit for you. In addition, I work well with motivated individuals, who may be struggling, but are also interested in creating change in their life."

"A DIFFERENT VIEW. Natick/Framingham. I believe therapy is a joint venture. It takes both of us to create expertise about your unique psychology and spirit, and explore how that self-knowledge calls you. I am typically very active with you, suggesting interventions, offering ideas, giving "homework" between sessions. I'm experienced with depression, anxiety, trauma, post-trauma, sexuality, loss, and the search for meaning in life. These days, I see myself not so much as a psychotherapist, but as a teacher in Eastern Philosophies, especially the Tao (see below). I may refer out if I think the clinical picture calls for a different therapy."

"In my private practice, I complete neuropsychological evaluations. I am not currently accepting therapy patients. Children and adolescents are faced with many more challenges and demands than ever before, both at school and in their community. This requires a solid understanding of what makes them who they are and how to best support them across their development. I aim to help families understand their child's unique strengths and weaknesses and to empower them to make positive change to influence their academic and social functioning."
