Therapists in Lincoln, MA

Welcome! With over 25 years of experience working with people of all ages as a trauma and grief therapist, I have helped individuals and families learn to cope with a wide range of issues including partner loss, anxiety, depression, family conflict, complex trauma and sexual assault. I provide parent guidance and coaching for caregivers who have children with challenging behaviors and special needs. I have expertise with foster, kinship and adoptive families. I offer therapy to tweens, teens and young adults who may need support with life transitions and relationships. My work with clients is always collaborative and strength-based.

I have worked in the field of mental health for 12 years, specifically in schools, hospital, & outpatient settings. I have always been grounded in supporting those that otherwise cannot advocate for themselves, particularly in navigating emotional health and the systems that support individuals. I find that building rapport and relational connection is essential in creating pathways of growth & healing. I understand that individuals are part of a much larger picture and because of that, my support considers both the individual & their environments.

Please note: I currently have limited openings , daytime only( before 2 pm). I am a licensed independent social worker , licensed in MA and ME, with 20+ years of experience providing therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. Clients describe me as warm, empathic, flexible, genuine, humorous and direct. I view the therapy process as a collaborative one in which you and I work together to address your challenges and allow you to move forward in a healthy way.

Now Accepting Clients: I am Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who specializes in mental health treatment for adults, college students, and youth of all ages. For over ten years I have worked in the mental health field throughout New England. Since obtaining my masters from Boston College, I have worked in various settings such as residential treatment facilities, community based work, inpatient hospital settings, schools and colleges. I have experience running groups, individual therapy, family therapy, training and supervising. I aim to break mental health stigma and challenge societal norms.

I hold a space of safety, confidentiality & upmost respect for my clients, the stories they have lived & their hopes for personal transformation. With my youngest clients, counseling is a collaborative process of shifting challenging habits & behaviors, or removing roadblocks impacting school adjustment and family harmony. I work in partnership with caregivers to take actionable steps, teaching skills & strategies to help children and adolescents thrive. With adult clients, we uncover patterns & behaviors causing pain, address trauma, shame, identity, or relationship issues; anything impacting optimal wellbeing.

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.

***CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE EMAIL FIRST BEFORE CALLING*** My work with clients focuses on collaborative, strength-focused, narrative work that is client centered and driven. I believe that we are the expert of our own life story and experience, and have the ability and strength to grow and change. In my work, I utilize my training and knowledge to help my clients capture that strength and use it to address the issues that they are facing in a manner that is reflective, thoughtful and promotes long term change. This is all within an unconditionally supportive, safe, non-judgmental and empowering environment.

A lot of thought can go into choosing a therapist for you or your family member. Therapy starts with a unique personal relationship that has appropriate professional boundaries and allows you to explore your present dilemma and its relationship to your inner life. With children I use play and talk. With older adolescents and adults therapy is primarily verbal but it is always important to keep a sense of playful exploration even when facing difficult or painful issues. If this approach sounds right for you contact me to set up an initial visit. I am only working virtually via Zoom and no longer working with children under 12.

Offering Parenting Consultations ONLY (sorry, I am not taking on new, individual clients). For 15 years, I've specialized in working with kids and their families, but I rarely have openings and often have to turn away parents who need help. I know how frustrating it is for parents to find therapists with openings, and with this in mind, I now am offering a series of three consultation sessions for parents to gain further insight into the roots of what their child is experiencing, and how parents can help. While my consultations are not a replacement for therapy, parents have said our meetings are extremely helpful.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and stressed? Want to find out what your body has to tell you? Sometimes our past experiences might get in the way to develop our full potential. Together we will focus on the whole person using mind and body interventions to relieve tension and stress. I am inviting you to relate to your mind/body in more beneficial ways.

I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to clarify goals, work more effectively with challenging emotions, and, using Mary Oliver's eloquent words, help them answer the question "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." I use strength-based approaches to help clients set and achieve goals and boost happiness. Having experience as a school-based therapist and as a parent, I am helpful as a parent coach/mentor/therapist and enjoy working with teens regarding school-related challenges.

Are you a parent of a high-achieving adolescent or college student who seems to be withdrawing from school and from their friends? COVID created treacherous hurdles that high school and college students had to navigate including lack of socializing with peers and not having adequate support from teachers and inadequate learning opportunities for them to develop into confident students. Competition is now relentless due to 24 hour access to social media and kids just don't have enough down time to unplug. Are you a veteran of any of the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq?

I have experience as a special needs educator and mental health counselor. I enjoy supporting clients in achieving goals and finding new ways to seek fulfilment.

Hello, I'm Brian (preferred pronouns: he/him/his) and I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker working as a therapist in the Boston area for over seven years. I've worked with clients across the lifespan, and am especially passionate working with millennial's (ages 18-40) who struggle with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and ADHD. I also focus on clients dealing with eco anxiety, climate anxiety, and solastalgia. My experience includes working in outpatient mental health settings such as community mental health centers, Boston Public Schools, a therapeutic day school, and as a Clinical Supervisor.

I worked as a therapist & supervisor for a local community mental health agency for over 9 years, where I developed a specialty in working with adolescents & adults, particularly around anxiety, depression, relationships & boundary setting. My ability to form trusting & genuine relationships with my clients is one of my strengths, and my hope is that we can develop a relationship that feels comfortable & grounding. It is my belief that you are the expert on you, and that by working together we can explore the skills & knowledge within you.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.
