Hello there my name is William. I have been in the field for nearly 10 years now. I have worked in a variety of positions from Hospital settings to inpatient, to group/couples work, and the standard individual sessions. I am a sex-positive therapist who works with a wide range of issues for both individuals and relationships of all kinds.
I work well with either couples or individuals using a combination of short and long-term goals. Communication and understanding are the goals. However, I only work with 18+ clients.
I'm not sure what exactly brought you here but I can guess it has something to do with seeking a positive change. Perhaps this is your first time trying therapy or you well versed in the process. No matter the reason or experience level I would like to offer you a safe space to let those feelings out and share them in a nonjudgmental space.

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.

Are you going through a transition in life? Maybe you are seeking further education in a career or trying to seek insight into the age old question "What do I want to be when I grow up?" If you feel stuck, depressed or anxious at the thought of the previous question, I am your person.
I am most often described as "passionate". I put my whole being into every decision I make. I believe that steady hard work always has a positive pay out in the end. Sometimes the big picture can be overwhelming and daunting, I break life down into manageable and realistic steps. The most important aspect of the process is understanding that you have choices in life. Nothing ever needs to be set in stone. If you don't like something, you can change it. And you can change it until it is right for you.

As a therapist, I understand the importance of providing individualized care to those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to empower my clients to overcome these challenges and improve their overall well-being. To achieve this, I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and an eclectic approach that takes into account each clients unique circumstances and needs.
By working together, we can identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop new, healthier coping mechanisms. In addition to CBT, I may also incorporate other therapeutic approaches, such as mindfulness, narrative therapy, and religious and spiritual exploration. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

My ideal clients are those who recognize that we all need help and understand that asking for support is a reflection, not of any weakness, but of their own self-regard and strength.
I started off as a nurse and decided to return to school and get a masters in counseling psychology. I spent more than 25 years in addiction, including the years I spent as a nurse (11 years).
I also have been a clinical supervisor and director of substance abuse programs, which made me realize I love working with clients individually and went into private practice.
I have been in practice for 7 years, although I'm just returning to this level of care January 2023
I have worked all those years with clients suffering from trauma, anxiety and relationship issues.

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.

I am licensed in the state of Massachusetts and Florida. I attended a Christian college for my undergraduate degree at Eastern Nazarene a college affiliated through the church of the Nazarene.

Hello!
Thank you for beginning this journey.
If this is your first time in therapy, welcome. Getting started can be tough, especially talking to someone you don't know about things that make you uncomfortable, sad, angry, or embarrassed. I maintain a nonjudgmental space and a process that is introspective.
Therapy is difficult sometimes and at other times it can be an enjoyable part of your week. I encourage you to express your thoughts freely and without apology.
Whether you had a not-so-great counseling experience in the past, or you’re returning because prior experiences helped you trust therapy and its benefits, you are welcome here.
I look forward to working together.

Peace and Love!, I'm Regina Hubbard, a licensed, experienced, dedicated and compassionate therapist on a mission to guide you through your journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. I believe that every individual has the innate capacity to overcome challenges and create a fulfilling life. I have a deep passion for helping individuals overcome obstacles, navigate life's complexities, and find their authentic selves. My professional and personal background gives me a unique perspective in understanding the intricate dynamics of the human mind and behavior.
I support individuals, who seeking to heal, by sorting out areas of their past and current lives that impact their current functioning. Collectively, we identify strengths that will support with reaching desired goals. While you will have your own goals, my ultimate goal is for you to leave therapy one step closer to knowing who you are beyond and underneath the layers. We will utilize strategies to acknowledge how thought and behavioral patterns have impacted your daily living. We will use a holistic approach to increase awareness of how the mind, body, and spirit work together through the healing process.
Let's face it, life throws us many curve balls. Some of these curve balls are Anxiety and Depression provoking. Other more serious life events, contribute to Post Trauma Stress Disorder and Major Depressive episodes. You deserve a space to therapeutically unfold and unravel how these curve balls and life events have impacted your life. You deserve to overcome and live a meaningful life. Let's take anxiety and depression and any other barrier out of the driver's seat and place you as the rightful navigator of life. I'm here to support you through the healing and growing process. In our sessions together, I ensure you encounter a judgment-free space.
My only ask is that you commit to unfolding the intricates and beautiful parts of what makes you who you are.

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.
