Therapists in Burlington, VT

Hi there, I'm Maggie and I am glad you're here. As a therapist, I value the whole person and work to honor your personal story, the identities you hold, and your unique experiences. My practice is an interactive collaboration that welcomes you to explore and deepen your sense of awareness and connection to your mind, body and emotions.

Psychological distress limits our ability to participate in relationships meaningfully, and to fulfill our various roles in a way that is satisfying. Therapy can help.

I am a seasoned therapist with a diverse work experience. I have had the privilege of working in many different settings in the past 20 years. I am eclectic in style, tailoring approaches uniquely to you. My background is psychodynamic and I have worked in Boston and Burlington for many years in a private practice, in community mental health and outpatient settings. I am also highly trained and skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I look forward to hearing your story and thoughtfully working with you through the issues that bring you to therapy.

UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I work with individuals who desire change in their life and want to experience a greater sense of well being and inner peace. As your therapist, I act as a guide, collaborating and helping you to access the larger sense of who you really are in the world, assisting in the process of deep internal discovery, and ensuring that our time together unfolds at a pace that brings about the change you desire. I create a safe, confidential and respectful environment and support you in your journey to overcome whatever you struggle with, or are challenged by in your life.

I am a clinical social worker with extensive experience working with pre-teens, adolescents, families and adults in a variety of settings. If you are feeling lost, empty, sad, excessively worried or afraid I will work with you to develop skills and tools that help you live your life in a more satisfactory way.

I enjoy psychotherapy with adults. I have experience in mood and anxiety disorders, significant life transitions, grief and loss, spiritual issues, trauma and the psychological impact of medical issues. Prior to licensure as a psychologist, I practiced as a marriage/family therapist for over 30 years.

I work primarily with adults and adolescents. This includes family work in support of the individual work, but I do not do ongoing family or couples therapy. I have experience working with a broad range of patients but most of my experience is with difficulties associated with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), problems with expression of anger, and teen/parent conflicts.

Aida Luce has been practicing for over 30 years, she is committed and passionate about her work. She comes from the perspective that therapy is a very private and personal relationship that is enhanced by mutual respect. Aida cares deeply about social justice, holistic health and the mind/body connection. Aida works with couples , and families as one of her specialities. I am working with couples and individuals virtually. I am accepting new clients at this time. Be in touch, and stay safe!!

Do you ever feel out of touch with yourself or others? Things not going as you had hoped? Or maybe you are grasping for air and uncertain of how to put your mask on first? This is not uncommon for anyone living in today’s world, and it can leave people uncertain of where to turn. Continuing down this path can lead to unhealthy behaviors or destructive habits.

I individualize treatment to fit each of my client's needs. My approach is gentle and caring while still being direct and honest through the healing process. My warmth and genuine caring nature as well as my enthusiasm for each individual allows me to build a trusting, deep connection in therapy. It is my goal to help individuals find their strengths through this safe alliance, to begin to heal and transform their lives.

It may be challenging to seek help with life's stressors. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, possessing numerous years of multi-discipline counseling experience, my desire is to facilitate client's healing through the development of a collaborative therapeutic relationship. In a warm and supportive environment you'll feel comfortable to share your story and move forward by reaching your personal goals and individual potential.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is empathic, collaborative, non-judgemental and non-pathologizing. I am deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. By talking together in ways which nurture curiosity, compassion and insight we will look at what troubles you, what brings you hope, and which patterns of thinking/feeling/being you are engaging in that are not serving you well now.

I believe that times of transition or crisis, though frequently painful and disorienting, offer us powerful opportunities for adaptation and healing. I believe we have a fundamental need for connection, for being truly heard and for feeling effective and valued. Whether you are 35 or 85 or somewhere in between, I offer you a place to safely explore your needs and challenges. My clients describe my style as honest, engaged, compassionate and respectful. From my work in urban and rural settings, within a variety of socio-economic communities, I have developed a profound belief in everyone's capacity for positive change.

As a Clinical Social Worker, building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients is the most important thing. Once a trusted relationship is established, this is when we can be most successful towards getting you to a place where you feel more grounded, self aware and connected to yourself.

Welcome, I'm Jade My name is Jade Melito, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Vermont and currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with young adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, identity, and relationships. We will work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, build a strong sense of identity, develop healthier communication, learn to set boundaries, and employ conflict resolution skills, and empower you to build long-lasting, fulfilling connections.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of Vermont with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including: a partial hospitalization program for ages 11-17, a therapeutic K-12 alternative school, and in a college counseling center. I have worked with a wide range of needs including the areas of trauma, complex stress, moral injury or compassion fatigue, anxiety, anger, and depression. The therapeutic relationship is a true partnership. I take a client centered approach with the belief that “you hold the map and I have a flashlight”.

I believe each of us is a unique work of art in progress. Therapy is a process of discovering how your deepest self wants to be expressed in the world and then finding the inner resources to live that out. During darker periods of life, we might question the meaning of things, feel flawed or broken, and long for what’s out of reach. These times can signify a loss of connection to our innermost selves and be a call to a new way of living. Our work together will explore pains and patterns that continue to show themselves, family and social systems that shape self-concept, and inner workings of personality that make you who you are.

I have experience with a diversity of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I am a trained depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), and am concerned with addressing symptoms at their root cause. I balance this approach by offering avenues of relief from symptoms in the present. Easing the burden of suffering in the here-and-now allows us to engage more fully with the work of addressing original causes, and thereby contributes to long-term resolution.
