Therapists in Wakefield, MA

It takes strength to admit that life has become unmanageable, that your previous ways of coping are less effective than they use to be. The first step to healing is acknowledging that those negative thoughts and feelings have been impacting your ability to lead the life you want. The next step is to ask for help. While asking for help can be overwhelming, I provide clients a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which to explore their path to healing. I offer a strength based and person centered approached to treatment. I will work with you to meet you where you’re at and help you reach your wellness goals.

In order to maintain your safety, we are currently providing counseling services via telephone and face to face video sessions. If we are unable to answer your phone inquiry, please email and we will get back to you within 48 hours. I help my clients challenge the inhibiting beliefs that fuel self-defeating feelings and behaviors. My focus is on guiding people to develop greater emotional intelligence. My approach is humanistic and emphasizes the good in all of us. My goal is to impart powerful decision making and communication tools that you'll find yourself using constantly in all areas of your life.

Outcome studies regularly attribute success in psychotherapy to the quality of the relationship between therapist and client, and I agree. So when it comes to what "issues" or "goals" or "needs" I work best with, I'm comfortable with whatever you bring. More important to your success is our relationship and whether or not we can "relate." So I offer a courtesy appointment to see if we can establish a trusting relationship in which you can make meaningful progress towards your goals.

I enjoy working with all ages, and bring a calming presence to the issues brought by children and their parents, as well as to the problems and concerns of adults. I specialize in working with people in their relationships. I an eager to work with couples, and also work with individuals on relationship issues. With adults, particularly men, I facilitate addressing the many barriers that undermine healthy relationships such as unmanaged anger, domestic violence and controlling behavior, substance abuse, and codependency. I encourage and help all my clients to utilize effective stress management strategies, including mindfulness meditation.

Regardless of the times, the circumstance or the individual, building a relationship with trust, value and efficacy matters. I also believe that this can look different for everyone. Given that, it is important that prior to finding the right therapeutic approach that meets your specific needs, we must first develop a mutual understanding and rapport with one another that feels supportive in moving forward. Next, it will become my responsibility to listen and understand what it is you would like to address and what your goals are. Your voice, experiences, and perceptions will lead us through this process.

Have you been searching for your path in life? Held back by inner turmoil, social/emotional barriers within the relationships you surround yourself with, or addictive patterns that feel safer to maintain rather than break and reset? Perhaps you've become slightly more aware of feelings within your body telling you to slow down or an inner calling within your heart and mind to recenter and ground. Holistic approaches can provide a path to a healthier mind/body and a greater awakening of the soul.

Most people seek therapy when they are struggling with an issue that they are unable to resolve. I look forward to helping you recognize your strengths and validate your feelings in a safe therapeutic environment. I have a great deal of experience with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I love to see my clients grow and blossom as they learn to challenge themselves to be the best that they can be. My past background includes working in a clinical hospital setting for ten years. I provide support to individuals to resolve challenging and difficult situations.

We all would like to believe that we can manage our individual hardships on our own. Many times, we are quite capable of doing so but some issues can be more challenging. Having the assistance of trained clinician can help you gain more insight; more peace and the ability to better problem solve. My name is Maurice Maher Cheffro, I recently began Bridge Forward Counseling with the sole purpose of helping others to begin their personal journey towards positive change and healing. I believe one of my best assets is the ability to meet people where they’re at and help them to feel more at ease in order to take steps forward.
