Counseling is a unique process where you can feel safe and be yourself, create goals and find ways to improve your quality of life. As your therapist, I provide a relaxed and comforting environment for you to share whatever you choose to share. My job is to listen, provide feedback and help you develop skills to create positive change in your life. I will be able to help you reduce stress and help you grow. I am creative and comforting in my treatment process and will remain objective and non-judgmental to allow to work together on the presenting problem. I specialize in relationships, couples therapy and individual counseling. I can help you improve your relationship with your spouse, partner, boss or family members. I also work with folks who have addiction issues including substance and gambling addictions. My main focus and priority when working with clients is to provide a safe and comforting space to allow clients to engage and be open in therapy, this will help to get to the root of the presenting problem. Creating positive change, increasing self-esteem and problem-solving is the goal.

Hi, my name is Patricia, When you are in a session with me you are free to be yourself and to speak your truth. There is no judgment. We work together to process your thoughts and feelings until we can get to the root of the problem so that you can build coping skills to cope with the issue or resolve the issue if possible. I am looking forward to guiding you through your journey. Some days may be harder than others and that is where I come in to offer my listening ear and guidance. I use Person-Centered therapy, Holistic, CBT Motivational Interviewing and other interventions as needed. If you are looking for someone who has empathy but is also straightforward then here I am! I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adults and youth who may have depression, anxiety, family issues, substance abuse, trauma or just everyday life issues. I always say, "Finding a good therapist is like finding a good pair of shoes." It has to be a good fit to help you on your journey. I look forward to joining you through your time of healing that you may need to continue with your journey of life.

When the burdens of our circumstances, relationships, or daily lives, in general, begin to weigh on our shoulders, finding help in a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental space can begin to ease our heavy loads. My name is Caitlin Pierce, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14+ years in the field. I have spent the bulk of my career working with families and individuals in both office and in-home settings. I have a history of training and practice in trauma-focused counseling, relationships (family, marriage, parenting), stress/anxiety management, and I also am a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist. With this specialization, I can support wellness and health-related concerns such as self-esteem, body image, and making lifestyle changes like stress-reduction or shifting priorities. My favorite part of being a counselor is watching the people I work with begin to see a new "story" emerge or a shift in thinking around their presented problems. I like to help clients unlock the parts of their minds that remain stuck in a particular way of thinking or feeling that keeps them from feeling their best. I believe that all of us are capable of change, whether we're 18 or 85, and with healthy support and guidance, there is hope to feel better. I aim to bring my clients a conversational, personal, and humanistic counseling style. I look forward to working together!

Hello and Welcome! I am a social worker who has been in the field for over 20 years. Early in my career, I was fortunate enough to work with a psychiatrist who believed there was more to treating mental health than medication. I participated in a training with him and I was transformed as a therapist. I was trained in the relaxation response and mindfulness meditation and using the body to help heal people who have had significant trauma and mental health challenges. From there, I went on to get my yoga teaching certification from Kripalu. Since then, I have been helping children, adolescents and adults learn more about themselves and help them connect with the truest part of themselves. I believe part of my purpose is to help people learn to love themselves. I lived in CA for a long time and still hold my LCSW license. I was fortunate enough to study with a number of teachers at Spirit Rock Meditation Center who have influenced my work. I blend a number of different frameworks into my practice including trauma-informed CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic psychotherapy and self-compassion. I am mindful and respectful of all differences (racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, economic, gender, sexual orientation, ability etc.) and strive to understand each person within the context of their life history. Every person who seeks treatment has unique needs and goals. I strive to work collaboratively with you to keep your goals at the center of our work together. I stand in solidarity with the BIPOC community and all those impacted by systemic racism and oppression. I will uphold my own values and ethics and support all those who are speaking out against injustice of any kind. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe space for all. Hello and welcome!

My last job before doing psychotherapy full time was working in an emergency room alongside psychiatric residents doing crisis evaluations, advocating for all populations to get them the proper level of care needed. I like to think in psychotherapy session’s that, “I meet people where they are at in life”, and take it from there. I am an empath and proud of it.

Hi this is Carol. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in eight states including Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Illinois. My career started in Pennsylvania where I attended Chestnut Hill College and received my Master's in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy Option. It continued in upstate Pennsylvania and New York where I attended SUNY University of Buffalo and received my Master of Social Work Degree. I capped those off with a Psy.D. from CalSouthern University, an online doctoral format. I am also an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor in the state of South Carolina. I was fortunate to have an opportunity to attend the University of South Carolina shortly after relocating where I received a certificate in Military Matters. If you are being stalked by traumatic memories that you cannot shake, we can disburse them using best evidence practices. If your anxiety has gotten out of control, we can combine forces to put you in control of the stressors and persistent thoughts that keep you from being your best and sleeping well at night. When depression makes you want to stay inside of your home or in bed each day, I have tools we can use to empower you and help you avoid guilt. For any problem that interferes with your life or life transitions, there is a tool in my toolbox that has the power to bring about change. If we need a tool from someone else's toolbox, I know how to either borrow that tool, gain that missing knowledge, or do a warm handoff without missing a beat. I strongly believe in the unity of and interaction between the mind and body. The body keeps the score and emotional and physical assaults leave scars. I believe that a respectful level of humor enhances one's ability to grow and accept the dialectal events in life. Research tells us that a sense of humor helps people to learn and grow. Therapy is one of many ways in which we learn to navigate the roads and streams of life.

I love my profession! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (independently licensed in FL and MA) for over 25 years with experience working with adults and adolescents, both female and male, inspiring hope while working together to develop essential life skills and healthy coping tools. I take a strength-based approach as I believe everyone can grow and change. The hardest and most important step is reaching out and asking for help, so you are on your way to a better place in your life. Do you find that you tend to dwell on the past and things you can’t change? Do you worry about the future, the what if’s and things you cannot predict? Do you find that you are so busy in life, maybe taking care of others, putting their needs ahead of your own or you forget or don’t feel you have time to take care of yourself? That’s where I can help. I specialize in treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosocial stressors/major life changes, self-esteem building, social skills, trauma and grief. I am very knowledgeable about mental health diagnosis' however I concentrate less on the actual diagnosis because a mental illness does not define who you are. I am here to help guide you to a happy and healthy place in your life.

No matter how hard we try in life, inevitably we come across unpredictable waters. Sometimes riding the waves of life can be delightful and sometimes it can be soul crushing. Thus, I seek to help high functioning adults and adolescents to "embrace uncertainty and live joyfully through the process." I hope to energize and empower you to become the best version of yourself, especially during times of adversity. I work with you to evaluate your life goals and to gain insight and clarity about factors that might influence your success. I personally have experienced the power of having someone offer support in both the good and bad times of uncertainty, and it would be an absolute honor to support you as you navigate your life!

My name is Krystyna Ksiazek. I live in Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 29 years and never got sick of it. Seeing my clients succeeding, whether in therapy or their private life adds meaning to my work. My area of interest is Trauma and Complex-PTSD, Anxiety Spectrum Disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Agoraphobia, phobias, Eating disorders, Depression, and Grief. Also, I have experience in the treatment of anger management problems, self-harm behaviors, and dissociative/split personality disorders. I like working with Young Adults, Adults, the Elderly, men, and women. I like to reach out beyond the traditional scope of therapeutic interventions, to alternative medicine based on the homeostatic model of health. I want to help clients to build self-confidence and optimism and empower them to face new challenges, grow and succeed as they never imagined. I like to build up therapeutic alliances with the clients, and create an atmosphere where they know and feel that I am there for them and that I understand and support them. I do not mind spending more time with them if this is clinically necessary. Also, under exceptional circumstances, I allowed clients to contact me on the phone outside of therapy sessions, to assist them in coping with extraordinary situations, guide them when they struggle with using newly acquired skills, etc. I came to the USA from Poland in the year of 1981. I had to start "from the bottom". I have been through many ups and downs, and painful personal losses; my mother, friend boyfriend, but I never gave up. My resilience, optimism and non-conformist outlook on life, did not allow me to accept the failure. Contrary, it motivated me to try harder, because I believed that "I can". Most of the time it worked.

Often so many live in fear of the future or are haunted by their past.  What if there was another way? What if we could start living from our core values & honor our deepest desires? Imagine what life could feel like when connected to ourselves & those around us in an authentic way. I passionately believe in the power of the mind & body to heal through an intimate rapport with each client, exploration of one’s story, environment and needs a plan of health and wellness is co-created to begin one’s healing journey.

As a licensed Psychologist, I first prioritize learning not only why a person is contacting me, but also to be able to relate to that person based on their individual needs and what are their expectations of therapy. I believe that we all need to have a sense of purpose or meaningfulness in our lives, something that our thoughts, emotions and life experiences contribute to the "heart" of our personalities. The process of healing from the challenges of life begins with a search for truth about our beliefs, habits and relationships. Physical health is affected by our mental health through the complex interactions between the brain and bodily functions. Interventions I use in my sessions include Cognitive Therapy, CBT, DBT and ACT. As a Psychologist, I have worked in private practice, long term care, and forensic and psychiatric hospitals. Even though these patient populations are diverse, the common denominator is the human "heart". My sessions work to connect a person's sense of meaning in life to help them overcome anxiety, depression and a loss of personal identity in this complex world.

*Not Accepting Children/Teenager Clients* Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.

In childhood, Anthony experienced a life change, had difficulty adjusting, and developed defenses and a persona non grata to ward off people. Anthony had angst from the very start after the adjustment. To connect with him you would have had to be unbothered by his irreverent personality, unruly Goth fashion, and intense love for Academy Award-winning actress, Anjelica Huston and her movies The Witches and the Addams Family. His preference for isolation brought him to develop an awareness of human complexity and in turn, caused him to disconnect from people. Anthony had whatever mood you would call this going for him (or not) up until his early twenties when for a small window of time, he unexpectedly fell into the role of a caregiver, and for however short of a period it was, it was rewarding nonetheless. Before Anthony knew it, he no longer was afraid to connect with people. The universe further surprised him when without clear intention he enrolled in social work school and earned his master’s degree– the shock! And, for about seven years, he has been a social worker and a therapist. Since then, he's enjoyed working with people and guiding them in their embrace and acceptance of their originality, especially their shadows, so that they can love themselves unconditionally. So, in short, he applied his kooky and quirky spirit to the greater good and alchemized his time of difficulty, and learning experiences to humanity and interconnectedness.

Hello! My name is Greg Corbett and I am a LMHC in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working as a therapist on some level for the last 7 years. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the pleasure of having two separate internships; one at a rape crisis/domestic violence hotline and one at a substance use treatment center. Through these two internships, I was able to learn what it was like to be a therapist and discover that I wanted to continue to pursue my education to become a therapist myself. During my graduate program, I completed two more internships, one that allowed me to continue my work at a substance use treatment center and one at a college counseling center. I was able to truly find myself as a therapist, gain experience working with individuals 18+, learn about the way the court system works, especially with regards to drug and alcohol offenses, and also gain experience working with various presenting concerns, from depression and anxiety to trauma. Following graduating with my Masters, I worked at two separate community outpatient counseling centers and a more private outpatient counseling clinic. I have worked with individuals ranging in age from 4 to 70 and have gained experience with various presenting concerns. During my time as a therapist, I have witnessed how difficult it has been for people to find a therapist due to long waitlists. The act of reaching out to set up therapy is hard enough; it should not take several months to get an appointment and I want to help alleviate such a wait for people. I want to be here for you. I believe anyone can do this work if they have the right supports and I hope to be a support for you.
