I help my clients set a clear vision for their future by helping them identify and develop personal, academic and/or career goals that truly inspires them, followed by a personalized, step-by-step plan for achieving their goals. I am also a licensed Special Education teacher and Educational Advocate. I help teens who are struggling in school get back on track and receive the appropriate level of school services they need in order to succeed.

I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to help individuals identify harmful patterns in their lives and learn new and healthy ways of creating and maintaining a more fulfilling life for themselves. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, I aim to assist my clients to develop greater insight, cultivate positive self-regard, and empower them to find balance within themselves and their lives.

I am a strength based therapist with over 25 years of Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment. I also am a Certified Problem Gambling Specialist. My treatment is client based and work with my clients to create their own treatment plans. Therapy includes CBT, mindfulness, gentle reprocessing , and other modalities which fit the circumstances of each individual client.

For 20 years I have worked closely and collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to help them develop skills to ease stress, manage difficult emotions, improve communication and strengthen relationships. If you are seeking to discover a deeper understanding of yourself, explore family issues, improve relationships or learn skills to manage complex and challenging emotions I am here to help.

I am a therapist with over 20 years in the field, having treated individuals, families and couples with a very broad variety of issues. I am particularly interested in trauma, and I am trained in various trauma modalities for this reason. Overall, my approach is a strength-based, solution focused, compassionate psychotherapy with my clients.

I provide individual treatment to adolescents age 12 and above as well as adults. I offer an accepting, constructive environment and aim to address my client's needs in a way that feels down to earth, maintainable and realistic for them. My therapeutic style is a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), utilizing dialectical- behavioral therapy skills (DBT), psycho-educational and supportive therapy. I specialize in working with clients dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, and motivation challenges. In addition to individual treatment, I help to facilitate DBT skills groups.

My focus is providing an opportunity to learn how to increase attention and awareness of thoughts, feelings, leading to behaviors that are not serving us; motivating shifts in thinking in order to respond rather than react. What is most satisfying to me in this work is once individuals or couples gain the awareness of how childhood experiences affect communication and reactivity, they are open to learning skills which enable them to change their communication patterns that formerly were feeding conflict and negativity, leading to empathy, compassion, deeper understanding and willingness to find resolution.

We all face difficult challenges in life that can lead to increased stress, decreased functioning, emotional pain, ineffective coping strategies, and interpersonal struggles. Engagement in therapy can provide a safe space to gain the skills and support needed to manage these difficulties and can help us grow into the best version of ourselves. I believe that therapy works to aid in the healing process because we are wired for social connection and thrive when we are able to be vulnerable and feel understood/accepted.

Having someone you trust and who is totally dedicated to your best interest is often the exact thing you need to open yourself up to a new perspective or make an important change in your life. I try to utilize my range of life experiences and education, a fair amount of wisdom and an ability to see effective ways to handle problems and tough situations. Regardless of your circumstances, my full intention will be to create an honest and supportive environment to help you successfully deal with the challenges you face. I see people of all ages and backgrounds.

In this everchanging world, life can become overwhelming at times. Whether it is regarding relationship conflicts, professional difficulties, self-esteem issues, fears or grief, transitions can be difficult to navigate. It is important to identify triggers and release negative patterns that may be preventing you from healing and moving forward toward creating healthy pathways.

Daytime Availability Only. In Office Monday Only. My name is Erica Bradley. I am a LICSW in the state of Massachusetts. I have been a social worker for about 6 years and have worked in some form of human services for 15 years. After getting a bachelor's degree in public health and going to work in a group home for developmentally disabled adults I realized the need for more social workers. During graduate school I interned in a hospice, which was both incredibly challenging and rewarding. I then interned in an primary care office providing therapy. Following graduation with my MSW I went to work in the male, State-Prison System.

Navigating life can be challenging. It's natural to need help at times, and joining with another person in a therapeutic alliance can be just what you need to gain more insight, refocus, and find more balance to live life more joyfully. My intention in psychotherapy is to guide individuals to a clearer understanding of their mental and emotional terrain, how their thoughts and feelings may influence their overall sense of well-being, and to explore new perspectives that may benefit them.
