Therapists in Massachusetts

When life feels overwhelming, guidance and support can make all the difference! Together, we’ll work through the challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression, (aka living) with evidence-based strategies — not just to manage symptoms, but to create lasting changes. I have worked with a wide variety of populations; including college students/emerging adults, those in transition from separation/divorce, children, adolescents and their parents including children who have experienced trauma.

I provide an open-minded, affirming, and eclectic approach that blends components of CBT, DBT, and narrative therapies to help you reconnect with your values, heal from the past, and create more joy in everyday life. Clients often describe my style as both grounded and nurturing. I bring strong clinical assessment skills, a bit of awkward humor, and a healthy balance of optimism and realism into each session. I’m especially passionate about supporting clients who are exploring possible neurodivergence, navigating gender identity, healing from trauma, or facing challenges in relationships. I see therapy as a partnership where we create space for both reflection and action. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, develop practical tools for change, and work toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. My career began in mental health research before transitioning to clinical practice, where I've spent over a decade supporting U.S. military Veterans from diverse backgrounds as they navigate complex work, social, and health goals. This experience has given me deep insight into helping individuals successfully manage major life transitions, overcome barriers to achievement, and build meaningful, fulfilling lives aligned with their values and aspirations.

If you've made it this far, I know it wasn't easy. To make the decision to seek out help, no matter the reason, takes time and thought. I have been in the behavioral health/mental health field for 15 years now specializing in healthcare management and behavioral health optimization. I know first hand that in order to get the most out of your long term therapeutic relationship you first have to take care of the other medical and psychosocial factors in your life. This may mean getting connected to a primary care physician best suited for you or finding a home care agency that can help out around the house. We all have things that take up space in our mind and schedules that make it hard to fully focus on the work it takes to fully feel better. Connect with me before long term therapy to help in these care management areas. We will work shorter term to manage some of these more pressing matters so your mind is clearer and better positioned to do some of the deeper work.

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.

As a therapist, I understand the importance of providing individualized care to those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns.
