Evernorth Therapists in Massachusetts

I’m excited to get to know you better! In the meantime, here’s a little about me, and my professional experience and training. I think one of the biggest challenges, after taking that first brave step of reaching out, is to find a good therapist that you connect with. In my twenty-plus years of experience, the therapeutic relationship is the principal reason that therapy “works” or “doesn’t work.” My therapeutic style focuses on first developing a strong therapeutic alliance in which you feel emotionally safe and heard without judgment. You’ve already come to the conclusion that something in your life is not working, and my task is to help you to identify the ways in which you’d like things to be different. From there, together we can create realistic, achievable goals that support those changes and move you toward the life that you deserve. I have a large repertoire of strategies and interventions, which include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Producing insights, strategies, and tools that you can use immediately is the goal of every interaction. I have extensive experience in trauma, anxiety, relationship issues (adult as well as parent-child), substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. I have found that many people experiencing trauma or anxiety are helped by a combination of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. This teaches them how to tolerate their intense feelings and how to reframe unhelpful thought patterns that keep them stuck. On a personal note, I have been a LMFT since 1997 and have worked with a variety of clients in many different settings. I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings. My latest appointment is 4:00PM ET When I’m not helping people, I can usually be found on the golf course. I look forward to helping you to make the changes you desire.

EVENING HOURS ! My name is Pat Sorofman. My experience in family and marriage counseling has allowed me to help countless couples and families navigate their challenges, fostering understanding and communication in even the most difficult situations. My expertise in anxiety disorders further complements my practice. I provide individuals the tools and support necessary to manage their anxiety and lead to fulfilling lives. My empathetic approach and commitment to my clients create a safe, supportive environment where healing can blossom. Whether you are seeking guidance for familial relationships or facing anxiety, I will help you on your journey to wellness, connection and happiness.

Managing persistent anxiety, panic attacks, or depression can feel like watching a storm roll in that never quite clears. When distraction, self-medication, or simply waiting it out stop working—and the symptoms only grow more intense—it is natural to feel hopeless or stuck. Therapy offers a dedicated space to break that cycle. When working together, we will build a treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals. My practice draws from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, Meditation, and Guided Imagery. I also bring deep experience navigating the stages of change, the cycles of addiction, and how substance use intersects with mental health. I understand that while everyone's journey looks different, the distress you feel is real. Prioritizing your well-being takes courage, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

I have spent almost two decades working with teens, emerging adults, families, and couples from all walks of life. I prioritize providing the highest quality of care, while allowing the client to find their own path. My education incudes Rhode Island College, Bridgewater State University, Harvard Extension School, Yale, and Oxford University. My passion is supporting those struggling in relationships, marriages, and partnerships, as well as athletes both teenage and adult.

You’re the person everyone depends on—even while you’re grieving. You’re still working, parenting, caregiving, managing the details, and showing up for everyone else while carrying a loss that has changed you. I work with women who look like they’re functioning on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected underneath it all. Therapy gives you a place where you don’t have to hold everything together. I specialize in grief therapy for women who are carrying loss while still caring for everyone around them. Using ACT, emotional regulation, and practical tools, I help you make room for grief, manage overwhelm, and adjust to what has changed without expecting you to “move on” or leave your loss behind. You don’t have to “move on,” find the silver lining, or keep being the strong one here. Grief changes things, and you deserve somewhere to put down what you’ve been carrying. If you’re tired of holding it together for everyone else while struggling underneath, reach out. We can talk about what you need and whether I might be a good fit.

“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely” is my favorite Mary Oliver quote to describe the work I do. My name is Annie Kaye and I work with adults wanting freedom from ADHD, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, life transitions, and self esteem. My practice takes a grounded, interpersonal, and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe the continued commitment of showing up for yourself is the foundation of change, and I use my background to meet you wherever you're arriving from.

I’m Christine Bile, LICSW. I work with high‑achieving professionals, creatives, and adults whose goals have started to feel heavy—musicians/artists navigating the industry, leaders and managers, and people managing chronic medical conditions. I help with performance anxiety, life transitions, boundary issues, mood and anxiety symptoms, identity exploration, and burnout using CBT, DBT‑informed skills, mindfulness, expressive arts, and solution‑focused brief therapy techniques so you can build confidence, manage symptoms, and walk through life the way you want.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed School Psychologist, and I’ve spent more than 20 years working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and accepted. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and strength-based.

Throughout my career, I’ve supported young people experiencing anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, school-related stress, learning differences, attention difficulties, social challenges, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with families and collaborating with schools and other professionals to help children and adolescents thrive.

My name is Betsy and I am a licensed mental health clinician with over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. Through my training and experience, I have developed a philosophy that simply listening, validating and being non-judgmental is “help.” However, to guide a patient’s growth in mental health treatment, it is important to challenge them in a non-threatening manner but to promote thought is necessary. Additionally, It is sometimes important to be the mirror that clients do not want to look in. Lastly, treatment should be collaborative and educate which means providing psycho-education information, written treatment work, and provide well rounded mental health guidance and support to help patient identify and achieve treatment goals.

I'm self aware, having chosen a pathway of self exploration to become my best self. I am a survivor of my story, who has always known the importance of never surrendering to any situation life hands me. My resilience and positivity have guided my decisions to choose fighting like hell to be the greatest version of myself. I live passionately with growing self esteem as a result of having the highest priority on SELF LOVE. My treatment approach will always be action focused. Many clients that I have mentored with eating compulsions have had favorable outcomes as a result of our therapeutic relationship. I am a survivor of acting out with food, including a period of 17 years of battling bulimia, and a lifetime of searching for PEACE from food addiction. Since October 2004 I have lived in recovery, with no episodes of bulimic behaviors, and have a healthy relationship with food beyond my wildest dreams. I have found the PEACE I have been searching for which motivates me to help others to live in a healthy body. I have shared this struggle to allow you a deeper understanding of my personal story. I believe everything I have survived has provided life lessons that have humbled me and allowed me to see the humanity in everyone. We all possess so much untapped power that , if accessed, can help us achieve our goals and become the best version of ourselves! I have the skills to help you too, I believe that is why I'm here.

You may know exactly what you want to change, but still find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or repeating the same patterns despite your best efforts. I often help with anxiety, depression, grief, emotional intensity, low self-worth, and relationship stress, especially when someone knows what they want to do but struggles to follow through. My style is direct, supportive, and down-to-earth, and I use CBT, DBT, REBT, and motivational interviewing to make therapy feel practical, collaborative, and genuinely helpful. I also bring warmth and humor into the work so it feels more like a real conversation with someone in your corner rather than being analyzed by some human computer

I have experience working with family conflict, parenting, depression, difficult adoptions, relationship issues, school issues and intergenerational trauma.

I'm Jody, an LICSW with 12 years of experience working in hospitals, crisis care, substance use treatment, and community outreach across Western Massachusetts. I draw on trauma-focused CBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and CPT — not as a formula, but as a toolbox to pull from these interventions based on what you actually need in the here and now. I will work with you in direct, warm, and compassionate manner, grounded in the real world of your own life.

I am an older adult who has spent my life in service to others, and have now gained the education, licensing, and experience to continue my life of caring as a therapist. I am a mother and grandmother and share my living space with my cat, Chai. I have worked in Family & Children services, Emergency services, and in Addiction Treatment centers. I have extensive training and experience in helping people recover from trauma, both one-time events and complex events over time. I am familiar with and knowledgeable about cults and manipulative relationships that use undue influence and gas-lighting. My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, and I see myself as an advocate to help you navigate your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from University of Connecticut and my Master’s degree in Social Work from Springfield College.

These settings have allowed me to develop my clinical skills and approach in helping others.

I work best with clients who want a therapist who is direct and actively engaged in the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a place you're talked at or judged. I feel strongly about the alliance feeling comfortable and natural. I'll always meet you where you're at and help you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

Everyone deserves a safe and nurturing space to heal, grow, and be fully seen. I am honored to hold that space for you.

*Action-oriented Therapist* Most anxiety and depression evolve from procrastination, which leads to inaction. I have the ability to help people who are looking to take action on their goals which require behavioral change. Change becomes natural once a person understands their unintentional programming from childhood and decides to work on their discipline. Discipline is simply your ability to prioritize the needs of your "future" self ahead of your "present" self. I do not prescribe medication; however, I can refer you to a Grow Provider if need be. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts and I love helping people reach their maximum potential!

You can read my reviews on healthgrades.com that have been posted by former clients. If you are ready to put in the effort, you will make progress!

My name is Colleen McKay, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the field since 2011. I have primarily worked with children and families (parents) through providing both behavioral training, individual and family therapy, as well as the foster care system. I enjoy working with women, parents, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and difficulty through various life transitions. I believe myself to be an active listener who offers empathy and non-judgmental support to all my clients. I believe that life has many challenges and we deserve to have support and guidance as we try to do our best to navigate.

I am a bilingual Hispanic-Latina psychologist who provides therapy in both English and Spanish. For over six years, I have supported individuals as they navigate life's challenges, transitions, and opportunities for growth. I specialize in trauma, emotional healing, and grief in all its forms. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or burdened by experiences they have carried for a long time. Whether you are coping with loss, relationship difficulties, anxiety, life transitions, cultural or immigration-related stressors, or the lasting impact of trauma, you do not have to navigate it alone. My approach is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and deep listening. I believe healing happens within the context of a genuine therapeutic relationship—one where you feel seen, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and move toward healing at your own pace. As a strengths-based therapist, I support clients recognize and build upon their resilience, wisdom, and existing capacities for growth. I also believe it is important to understand our experiences within the larger social and cultural contexts that shape our lives. Together, we explore how factors such as family dynamics, cultural expectations, discrimination, immigration experiences, and systemic inequities may influence emotional well-being. My work focuses on support clients reconnect with themselves, identify what matters most, and create lives that feel meaningful and aligned with their values. Whether you are seeking healing, greater self-understanding, or support through a difficult season of life, I am committed to meeting you with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe healing is possible, and that you deserve a space where your story is honored and your experiences are valued. It would be a privilege to accompany you on your journey toward growth and emotional well-being.

As a clinician I am calm, kind, and reliable. I am passionate about supporting people in their journey towards self improvement in many areas including mentally, socially and emotionally. I strive to be consistent and communicative in my role to be a constant positive force in the lives of my clients, providing guidance for their growth. I believe in a holistic approach incorporating aspects of counseling, fitness and nutrition to support client goals.

Over the years I have successfully treated a wide variety of mental health concerns including stress, chronic depression, LGBTQ+, grief/loss, stress management, relationship issues, substance use, and career/life goals. If you have been struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or panic attacks, let's get to the bottom of it! Self doubt, low motivation? We got this! Every individual, couple, and family that I have had the honor to work with is unique and has their own specific needs. Because of this, you can expect custom treatment planning with measurable goals and activities. I primarily utilize a strengths-based approach, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered, and mindfulness. I ensure I meet clients where they are at to help them achieve their goals, giving them a safe space to heal.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and I hold a license in Massachusetts and Texas. I received my Master's degree at Wheelock College and have almost 10 years experience working with individuals and families. I have also worked with government agencies (DCF, DMH, VA) as well as local agencies who are focused on treating individuals with mental health symptoms.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness. (Today also marks the beginning of a new partnership with Teach America! I have loved Teach America since they began. Grow Therapy and I are offering 20 counseling sessions to Teach America members free of charge!)

I’m a down-to-earth person who enjoys connecting with people and hearing their stories. I’m curious by nature, enjoy learning, and believe there is always room to grow. I value honesty, family, faith, community, and treating people with respect. I also enjoy music, creativity, and working with my hands. My own journey has taught me that life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect it to. There can be seasons when we have to start over, make difficult decisions, adapt to change, or simply figure out how to keep going when things feel overwhelming.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a PhD, I bring both advanced clinical training and a deep commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. My work integrates evidence-based approaches with thoughtful insight, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions with clarity and confidence. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting change.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Music Therapist (MT-BC), with over 20 years of formal music experience and 6 years of counseling experience, serving clients all over MA. I have worked with clients of all ages and diagnoses and specialize in treating adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse through a client-centered and trauma-informed lens. I combine music therapy and counseling approaches, individually tailored, to help build resilience and make clients feel more in control of their own lives. If you have ever held onto a secret out of fear, felt isolated in your pain, or put your own needs aside for the comfortability of others...please know you are not alone. Together, we can build on the strength within to create a life that doesn't need escape.
