Therapists in Millis, MA

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 am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of women and teenage girls. My goal is to provide a safe, trusting, and caring environment for each of my clients. I am compassionate and encouraging and know that sometimes people need to be challenged in order to take the risks that facilitate change. I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including perinatal mental health, anxiety, mood disorders, disordered eating, trauma, relational conflict, and general life adjustment difficulties.

Why do I need therapy? Therapy is for people who are crazy or out of control! I should be able to do this by myself! Asking or getting help means I'm not capable or strong. People are in therapy "cause they have to be." Couple's therapy is a last resort. Family therapy doesn't work/is not for me. Are any of these questions going through your mind? Is it helpful to know you are not alone? Sometimes, people are apprehensive about engaging in therapy or leery about continuing with therapy. All of the above reactions are understandable considering people's experiences. Licensure supervision/professional consultations offered.

We are a Private Group Practice with 30+counselors in 4 locations: Lakeville, Raymham, Bellingham and So. Easton. We treat: all members of the family and can help with transitions from divorce, school difficulties and peer relationship problems. Several therapists specialize in couples counseling, addictions counseling, grief and loss, trauma and play therapy. Elevate was incorporated so that we could meet the needs of the family and individuals in their entirety to provide the best and most comprehensive level of care in an outpatient setting as possible. We also have medication providers in the communities that we serve.

Are you tired of anxiety drawing you away from your true priorities? Are you sick of depression stealing your enjoyment of life? Are you going through a major life event like loss of a loved one, a new career, divorce, or illness? With clinical experiences stretching across the entire life span, from infancy to end-of-life, I can offer an informed, supportive environment to individuals of all ages.

I am an LMHC, and have been in the field for 20 years & still loving every minute of it :) I opened a group practice several years ago: Inspiring Insight. We have amazing clinicians and look forward to welcoming you into our practice, were we truly work as a team! We look forward to matching you with great provider(s), and know that we can make your experience excellent! Whether you have been in therapy before or are trying it for the first time, remember- it is never too late for a new beginning or change!

At Inclusive Perspectives Counseling (formerly Kristin Bowles and Assoc.), we offer mental health services for children, adolescents, couples, families, and adults. We provide these services from trained therapists, social workers and mental health counselors with a wide array of expertise and therapeutic approaches. Our therapists provide psychotherapy, crisis counseling, maternal health and wellness counseling for those in need of social, emotional, and behavioral support. We engage in safe, culturally competent, racially sensitive, gender inclusive and evidenced based treatment to the community.

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.

The demands of school, work, family and social relationships can be overwhelming for people of all ages. Societal pressures may add to our stress. We all need support as we navigate the different stages of our lives. We can get stuck, feel very low, or become increasingly anxious along the way. Children and adolescents may express or cope with these difficult emotions with troubling behavior. Parents often feel helpless or lost trying to support their children. Individual and family psychotherapy can help us better understand and manage our emotions, increase our sense of worth and control, and live a more fulfilling life.

I provide a therapeutic space where clients can begin to look at relationships, beliefs, values and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. I approach the sessions with warmth and humor and my hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease.

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.

My ideal clients span a diverse spectrum, each with incredible strengths.

I help clients set goals around personal growth, emotional resilience, and self-discovery, driven by a deep-seated desire for a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Welcome. I delight working alongside people of all ages individually, as a family, and with groups. At different life stages, we all navigate growth spurts such as starting school/college, jobs, relationships, moving into elderhood. Figuring ourselves out - our inner wishes, styles, patterns, relationships and how to enact them - often benefits from exploration, support and guidance. I bring experience in multicultural, multisystemic and multimodal problem-solving to these turning points that can include expressive, mindfulness, CBT, etc. I've particularly worked for years alongside children and the adults who care for them(c).

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) bicultural, LICSW, clinical social worker. I obtained my MSW and PhD degrees from Smith College, School for Social Work. I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years providing individual and family therapy to adults, children, adolescents and couples. I specialize in parent-child and sibling conflict, depression, grief/loss, domestic violence, anxiety, trauma, acculturation, relocation/immigration and life transitions. I am also an Associate Professor at Westfield State University, and adjunct faculty at Columbia University, Smith College and Boston University.

My practice primarily treats children, adolescents, and adults through the modalities of individual,family therapy and parental guidance. I approach each client's issues, situations with care and compassion in order to create a non-judgemental space so they can develop their strengths and gain new insights into their symptoms and behaviors. I enjoy the process of building the therapeutic relationship as I believe that it is through relationships people can heal. Much of my experience is treating trauma; anxiety; mood disorders; and transitional issues such as divorce, adoption, loss, and relational issues.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work. I work with people of all ages, sexuality, genders, and backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with children; though I currently work with clients of all ages suffering from anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, those struggling with life transitions, and addictions. With all that's going on in the world today it's easy to become overwhelmed, and it can help to talk with someone outside of your circle.
