You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out—you only have to take the first step. I’m Sharon Corliss, MSW, LICSW, a licensed therapist serving adults in Massachusetts as an LICSW and in Connecticut and Florida as an LCSW. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate grief and loss, manage anxiety and depression, and cope with life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow at your own pace. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals that fit your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Seeking Safety, while tailoring treatment to what works best for you. Much of my career has been dedicated to supporting Veterans and others facing life’s most difficult challenges. Whether you’re working through the effects of trauma, grieving a loss, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, you don’t have to face it alone. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, resilience, and lasting positive change.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.

Hi, I'm Hayley, a Licensed Professional Counselor. You’ve already taken a huge step in prioritizing your mental health. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected. They may not know exactly how to move forward, but they know something needs to change. I specialize in working with young adults and women navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and burnout. Together, we focus on building confidence, balance, and self-compassion, using humor and perseverance to navigate challenges along the way. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as CBT and mindfulness with warmth, authenticity, and compassion. I help clients better understand their thought patterns, regulate emotions, and develop the tools needed to create real, lasting change. In our work together, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, rediscover what makes you feel alive, and remember that growth is possible — even in the toughest moments. I know reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're carrying more than you should have to, you're not alone. Many of the people I work with are holding everything together on the outside while feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or weighed down by past experiences. I'm a trauma therapist and EMDR therapist who specializes in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and perinatal mental health. Together, we'll make sense of what's keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, and help you reconnect with the version of yourself you've been missing. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. Whether you're seeking support for childhood trauma, pregnancy or postpartum challenges, relationship stress, or overwhelming anxiety, therapy is a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know that it is a problem, but cannot seem to control it? I am experienced in working with a range of substance use issues, from mild to severe, as well as process or behavioral addictions, such as addictions to sex, shopping, pornography, food, and people. Effective psychotherapy can include helping limit your use and minimize its consequences, or complete abstinence, and an assessment if medication such as Suboxone, Methadone, or Vivitrol is right for you.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
