Therapists in Massachusetts

I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although, you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey.

My broader professional background includes crisis evaluation, correctional mental health, clinical oversight, child welfare, and work involving trauma and complex behavioral health needs. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and psychodynamic approaches, depending on what fits the person and the problem we’re working on. Therapy with me involves understanding not only what is happening now, but also the patterns, experiences, and ways of relating that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll work toward practical change while making room for the deeper work when it is useful.

I’m an identical twin, so human connection has always been a meaningful part of my life. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from UMass Amherst in 2020 and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University in 2023.

Hi! I am new to Grow and accepting new clients for afternoon and evening sessions! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed School Psychologist, and I’ve spent more than 20 years working with children, teens, young adults, and families. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and strength-based. I take the time to get to know each person as an individual, understand what they are experiencing, and help them recognize their strengths while developing practical tools to navigate challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve supported young people experiencing anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, school-related stress, learning differences, attention difficulties, social challenges, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with families and collaborating with schools and other professionals to help children and adolescents thrive.

Managing persistent anxiety, panic attacks, or depression can feel like watching a storm roll in that never quite clears. When distraction, self-medication, or simply waiting it out stop working—and the symptoms only grow more intense—it is natural to feel hopeless or stuck. Therapy offers a dedicated space to break that cycle. When working together, we will build a treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals. My practice draws from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, Meditation, and Guided Imagery. I also bring deep experience navigating the stages of change, the cycles of addiction, and how substance use intersects with mental health. I understand that while everyone's journey looks different, the distress you feel is real. Prioritizing your well-being takes courage, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Hi there, welcome. It is wonderful to see you are taking the first step to connect with a therapist. My style is casual and client centered. Clients set their own goals as I support them in feeling heard, safe and an equal part of the therapy process. Our focus would be to identify areas of difficulty, build on the strengths you already have, identify triggers and learn coping strategies to help ease symptoms that may be impacting day to day life. I believe in the importance of meeting people where they are and providing non judgmental, open connections. My clients are adult women who identify with one or more of the following: family conflict, estrangement, caregiver, grief, aging, hospice, anxiety, caring for neurodivergent children, parenting and/or chronic medical illness.

You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps going, handles what needs to be done, and looks like you have it all together. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or simply not like yourself anymore. Maybe you're facing a difficult transition or realizing that the ways you've always coped just aren't working anymore. I'm Jessica Velazquez, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families.

I'm Paul Amato, an LICSW who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationships, and communication.

Hey! I'm a Licenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing telehealth services in several states. I have worked in mental health since 2010 and have been in private practice for 3 years. My clients are working adults who are overwhelmed and I help them identify ways to improve their relationships with themselves, family, work, money, etc. My goal is to help my clients curate a life that they value.

Sharing stories can create some of the greatest bonds between people. In my practice as a therapist, stories have always been the foundation: they create a relationship of empathy and understanding, acceptance and change, which is able to withstand challenges over time. By telling stories, we can pick apart patterns and figure out how to break cycles that are not serving you. Whether that be with others, or yourself. I specialize in helping people who are struggling in relationships as well as with depression and anxiety that often accompany these challenges. I believe that the therapist-client connection is not only a place to learn skills, but lays a foundation to create and maintain healthy relationships. Using a combination of mindfulness, interpersonal skills, and cognitive therapy, we can slow things down to help you better understand what is happening, and what techniques you can use to reach your goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been practicing in the local community since 2011. I began my career working with a non-profit by helping children, teenagers, parents, and couples who struggled with various issues, ranging from learning to cope with day-to-day stressors to healing from major traumas.
