Therapists in Charlestown, MA

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. I have worked with those navigating a variety of different life challenges and changes, though my specialty is in dealing with trauma and grief, particularly pre-verbal trauma in early childhood. I believe one of the most powerful statements we can hear is: "I'm with you" and this is what I try to embody for my clients and their families. I am also an ordained pastor, have a Masters of Divinity, and am happy to incorporate pastoral counseling and Christian spirituality into treatment if desired.

Welcome, my name is Crystal Patterson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve been a therapist for 10+ years doing individual, and couple's counseling; servicing those struggling with mental health, substances, and relational conflict. I also offer licensure supervision for agencies and individuals interning for a license in mental health counseling.

It takes effort to make that first step to go to therapy and I understand the hesitation to open up your personal life to a stranger. I want my clients to feel safe in my care and to feel they can be open and share the dark and unwanted realities of their lives. I am not here to judge, I am here to help. Therapy is a partnership and I am here to help on the journey to a healthier life. I hope for each and every one of you to find the therapist that is right for you. Sandra

I am a social worker that does community activism. Many times people have problems because of the injustices built into our system. In my work in therapy I can help people to identify issues in their lives and give them skills to deal with situations they find themselves in. I want to remove stigma from mental health treatment by offering it to everyone. I am committed to treating people with every day issues that may negatively impact their lives so that they can move forward to have happy and successful lives. I want to listen to people and help them develop the skills they need.
