Therapists in Massachusetts

I’m Lyla Schwartz, a psychotherapist and clinical researcher with over a decade of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through trauma, stress, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based therapies—including Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and DBT—with a deep commitment to compassion, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration. I’ve worked across the U.S. and internationally, helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths in a safe, supportive environment.

Have you tried therapy but just didn’t get anywhere? New to therapy and not sure what to look for? Have a great life but feeling unfulfilled, having trouble navigating important relationships, or experiencing strong feelings that seem to come out of nowhere? I’ve helped countless others explore these and similar issues in the many years I’ve provided therapy for individuals and families. I have an uncanny ability to gently and compassionately challenge what may be happening, often leading to insight and a new found ability to make real and lasting changes so you can focus on what matters most to you: your family, your education, your career, your mental well-being. Whether you are dealing with Relationship/friendship issues, parenting challenges, workplace issues or unresolved conflicts, I listen with an understanding ear. I help people address intense anxiety, ADHD, and mild depression even when most components in life seem to be going quite well. Sometimes things aren’t working because, well, they’re not working. My clients include people from various backgrounds and situations, from intact families to those estranged or low/no contact in family status. I see clients employed as teachers, nurses, research scientists, a dentist, a CEO, an HR executive, a cheese monger, both new and seasoned “stay-at-home” care-givers and many people studying in college, graduate programs, or obtaining post-graduate degrees. Whoever you are, from whatever background, I listen intently to your story and can help bring awareness into what may be obstacles to living a peaceful, serene, healthy life. As different as people are, I have discovered that some of our patterns and dynamics are very much the same. You don’t have to carry your emotional pain all on your own. I can help.

I am currently accepting new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed? You are not alone. Many people today are struggling to successfully navigate their lives while experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief/loss, family/relationship conflicts, and many other behavioral health issues. For over 25 years, my work has been dedicated to helping people develop healthy relationships and productive, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. I offer Solution Focused Therapy to help people achieve their goals. I am effective at building self-esteem, self-confidence and processing the most challenging events

I want to hear your story—I believe that healing starts with being truly seen and heard. As a licensed clinical therapist, I offer a compassionate, affirming, and honest space where your journey is honored and your voice is central. By utilizing client-centered, relational, and strengths-based approaches we can work together to explore your lived experiences and develop personalized goals. The focus is on creating a place where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to heal at your own pace; giving you the support and practical tools to manage your health, safety, and overall well-being. In our work together, I’ll listen attentively to your story and support you in building strength and resilience. I believe therapy should be where you can bring your authentic self, where healing isn’t just about “fixing” things but about understanding and reclaiming that sense of self. I am here to support you, with care, understanding, and a belief in your ability to share your story and create positive change.

Thank you for reaching out! I have been in the field for almost 20 years. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to explore whatever they need to work on to reach their goals and lead a more healthy productive life. I look forward to working with you to achieve those dreams in the most mindful way possible

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

My name is David Mancuso, and at the heart of my work is a belief that every person carries an untold story—one shaped by survival, family dynamics, unspoken pain, and the longing to feel whole. I help clients reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve had to silence in order to function. My approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy with a direct, grounded style that invites honesty, clarity, and personal evolution. I draw from years of clinical practice, trauma-informed training, attachment theory, and my own lived experiences navigating complex family systems. Because of that background, I understand what it means to rebuild a self from the inside out. Clients often come to me during moments of transition, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or relational upheaval. They stay because our work helps them find their center again. While I bring a calm and steady presence, I also show up with real engagement. I don’t sit back passively—I’m interactive, reflective, and attuned to the subtle patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate. Therapy with me is an active process of reconnecting with your original self, strengthening your internal structure, and learning to move through the world with more confidence, emotional clarity, and integrity. Above all, I care deeply about the people I work with. My intention is to offer a space where you feel understood, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways—so you can step into a more grounded, connected, and empowered version of yourself.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, relationship issues, and life transitions. My practice integrates evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their stories, heal from emotional wounds, and build meaningful lives. Through our work together, clients often experience greater emotional resilience, improved self-esteem, and more fulfilling relationships. My goal is to support clients in reclaiming their voice, strengthening their coping skills, and fostering long-term mental wellness.

I’m an experienced clinical social worker, honored to serve my clients. I believe EVERYONE has inherent worth and dignity. I beleive in pluralism, democracy, and wholesome, authentic connection among many things that give meaning and context to life. I keep love at the center of my work. We will laugh, cry, learn and grow during our time together. I provide some structure during or after our sessions to facilitate deeper exploration of what is bothering you.

Hello and welcome! I know that taking the first steps to reach out for support can be overwhelming and scary. There are so many options of therapists, how can you possibly choose the "right one"? I tell all clients I meet for the first time the same thing: 'finding a therapist is like trying on a pair of jeans or a pair of shoes, they can all be the same size, but they all may fit a bit differently. One may be too tight, too big, or one you just might not like for a reason, and you don't really know why.' The only way to truly know is to try it on and see how it feels. That may not be the pretty answer, but it's what I have found in my 10 years of experience to be true. So I invite you to simply try, and if it doesn't work the first time or second, try again, because once you find the right one, it's worth it. I hope I am the "right one" for you, and if I'm not, finding you the person who is the "right one" for you is extremely important to me, and I will do everything I can to help find that one for you.

I ensure that each patient feels comfortable and confident in their decision to seek care. I have dedicated my career to empowering clients through a blend of evidence-based techniques and compassionate care. With an extensive background in clinical psychology, I successfully employ multiple therapeutic modalities including EMDR, ERP therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, CBT and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy! I also provide clinical supervision to interns and newly licensed clinicians in MA and RI through my ACS certification.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to the temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a Black, queer, non-binary, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Board Certified Diplomate (BCD) in Clinical Social Work, and Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE) with over 15 years of wide-ranging interdisciplinary experience in healing-centered and trauma-informed clinical practice, research, education, and servant leadership, I look forward to tailoring my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals.

I am a Licensed Clincical Social Worker, and am passionate about supporting individuals and families in navigating life’s challenges with empathy and evidence-based care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, and related concerns, using approaches such as CBT, ERP, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness based strategies. In sessions, I focus on helping clients develop practical coping skills, build self awareness, and strengthen resilience, while fostering a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to empower clients to achieve meaningful, lasting change and improve their overall well-being.

I have been a Social Worker for 29 years. I have a bachelor's and master's in Social Work. My primary employment has been with the Department of Children and Family Services for 24 years. I have worked in the capacity of a child protection investigator, a foster care worker, an adoption worker, a child welfare supervisor of all field programs, a child welfare manager, and as a statewide child welfare trainer. As a social worker, my PRN employment includes hospitals (6yrs) mental health and substance abuse (6yrs), hospice (1yr), schools, nursing homes, and assisted living. I am a TBRI practitioner and adoption competent. As a therapist, I am well-rounded with experience and knowledge in many domains. You are the expert of your own life and no one can fix you, but you. The client-therapist relationship is a partnership in healing. My mother was a social worker and I give her homage to the social worker in me.

Counseling is a unique process where you can feel safe, be yourself, and explore ways to improve your quality of life. As your therapist, I provide a relaxed and supportive environment where you can share openly and at your own pace. My role is to listen, offer honest and compassionate feedback, and help you develop practical skills to create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we’ll work to reduce stress, build insight, and support your personal growth. I bring a creative, comforting, and nonjudgmental approach to therapy, while remaining objective so we can stay focused on what truly matters to you. I specialize in relationships, couples therapy, and individual counseling—helping clients improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate challenges with partners, family members, or in the workplace. I also work with individuals struggling with addiction, including substance use and gambling. My priority is to create a safe, empowering space where you feel comfortable being open and engaged. This foundation allows us to get to the root of the presenting issue, explore patterns, and work toward increased self-esteem, deeper connection, and positive transformation.

I am a kind, empathetic person who takes an active role in listening to others and providing guiding feedback.

I now specialize in Adult and Couples work surrounding major life stressors and transitions, and am an LBGTQ+ Ally.

I’m Osvaldo Santiago, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience supporting adults on their path toward greater clarity, healing, and self-acceptance. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and empowered, especially if you’ve felt overlooked, misunderstood, or disconnected in other parts of your life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to the therapy room, and I meet you where you are- whether you’re navigating anxiety, cultural identity stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or past trauma. In sessions, I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These approaches offer structure and flexibility, helping us identify what’s getting in the way and build tools to support your growth and well-being. That said, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, I stay adaptable and responsive to what you need most in the moment. Outside of therapy, I value the same things I support my clients in cultivating: meaningful relationships, mindfulness, resilience, and space to breathe. I believe in showing up fully, both as a clinician and as a human being, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever comes next.

Hi, I’m Brooke, a licensed therapist who helps adults find relief from anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate the transitions that life inevitably brings. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative . I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning. I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I get to know you as a person so that we can tailor therapy to what works best for you. Clients often describe me as “calming,” and I think that reflects the kind of space I try to create : one where you can let your guard down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward real change. I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to suffer and I believe that no one should have to stay stuck in pain or face it alone.

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!

Welcome, I am Feven! Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage anxiety, depression and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach; addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the different challenges they face and build coping skills to create more fulfilling and holistic life experiences. From my journey, I can personally attest to the power of support, in its many forms. This support goes beyond clients I service but also to their families and communities. I believe that mental wellness isn’t just individualistic; but includes the ecosystem surrounding the person. My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.  I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation. It is a personal privilege to center wellness and holistic care for all as ‘self-care is a radical form of resistance.’ Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, self-acceptance, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, empathy and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

Through the world of therapy, I hope to bring more education and support to pregnant and postpartum people. My style of counseling is positive, person-centered and solution-focused.

I will provide a safe and soothing environment for all of my clients to work through their identified needs. I also have training in working with college-aged students and specifically athletes. I am licensed in both MA and CT. I believe it is important to establish therapy for moms to be and received continued support through pregnancy and postpartum.
