Therapists in Massachusetts

I am licensed in Illinois and Massachusetts with 26 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, stress, troubleshooting dilemmas, parenting, school-related concerns, and how best to navigate their relationships. I also have experience working with individuals who struggle with anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer a compassionate space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Using DBT-informed skills, parts work, and insight-oriented reflection, we’ll work together to help you better understand yourself, manage emotions with more ease, and build the tools you need to create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. I work with many people struggling in relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. During our session we explore the root of the emotional issues, and plan for decreasing symptoms that can help you achieve things in your life you have been wanting for.

It can be hard to start the process of healing. I strive to provide you with a safe non-judgmental place to explore, heal, learn and grow. I have been a Mental Health Professional for 16 years, Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, Qualified Supervisor for LMFT/LMHC in FL and Approved Supervisor for LMFT, LPC and LPCC in MN. I am trained in EMDR. I provide therapy services for people as young as 12 years old through adulthood. I work with individuals, children and families to focus on building coping, honoring experiences, and building skills to help enhance life.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I’m dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and curiosity. My background in research psychology, counseling services, and forensic psychology has given me a deep understanding of how our experiences shape who we are. I’ve worked in both inpatient hospital settings and outpatient dual diagnosis residential programs, supporting people as they build resilience, develop coping tools, and work toward meaningful personal growth. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns openly. Together, we’ll focus on understanding your experiences and finding ways to create lasting change that aligns with your goals and values.

Hello, I'm Steve and kudos to you for embarking on this journey! For over 30 years, I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, and other issues. In addition to these kinds of issues, I will explore your strengths, wishes, goals, dreams, and your vision of your best self. As I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is important, I am committed to being a warm and authentic person when in sessions with you. To this end, I may share stories or lessons from my own life, may share observations or feelings in reaction to whatever you are doing or saying, and as appropriate, I like to infuse my sessions with humor, lightheartedness, and laughter (to balance off the frequent hardness and heaviness of therapy.) Looking forward to working with you.

One of the most important things you can do is start the journey to understanding and living your own truth. This is a guiding force in my practice.

Hi there. I'm Steve. I specialize in relationships of all kinds, especially romantic/intimate/sexual and including ethical nonmonogamy (ENM). I believe living in the world today means the demands for your attention are often relentless, sometimes making you overwhelmed, stuck, or feeling like you've lost touch. Think of therapy as a place where you and I show up for YOU—for that very blessed being you get to be, this whole life. In turn, this helps all your relationships thrive, which again, helps you thrive too! We all have a natural drive to adapt, learn, and grow, and we do so in relationships—with ourselves, with others, with ideas and values, and with the world. You and I will listen closely—from where you are right now—to help reconnect you to your innate tendency to grow and change in desired ways. This may very well mean tolerating more friction and tension at first. It’s alright. You will get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Over time, knowing how you feel, think, and act—right here and now—will help you make better choices, recharge your sense of well-being, and enliven your relationships.

Hello! I’m Aida Valerio. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who found my calling 11 years ago having discovered that I wanted to provide people with a therapeutic space to heal, grow, and ultimately transform. Are you going through a personal challenge or major life transition? Do you need a safe space to have your experiences affirmed and validated? Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and in need of support? Have you considered speaking to someone but are unsure of how to begin? Wherever you are in your journey, I want to congratulate you on exploring possibilities to receive help. Therapy, like anything new or unknown, can feel scary. When Wendy was learning how to fly in Peter Pan, her fear of “what if I fall?” was met with Peter’s response of “oh, darling, what if you fly?” Not only did she fly, but she also transformed. My therapeutic approach is gentle, warm, and trauma-informed to ensure your comfort every step of the way. I listen attentively and non-judgmentally, welcoming your authentic self. You can express yourself in English and/or Spanish as I am fluent in both languages.

My name is Krystyna Ksiazek. I live in Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 30 years (last 1.5 years at Grow therapy ). Seeing my clients succeed in therapy or their private lives adds meaning to my work. My area of interest is trauma, 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 build self-confidence and optimism and empower them to face new challenges, grow, and succeed as they never imagined. I like to build 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, guiding them when they struggle with using newly acquired skills. I came to the USA from Poland. I had to start "from the bottom". I have been through many ups and downs and painful personal losses, including my mother, friend, and boyfriend, but I never gave up. My resilience, optimism, and positive outlook did not allow me to accept failure. Contrary, it motivated me to try harder. Most of the time it worked.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. My work has been in community health centers, medical and psychiatric hospitals, community mental health programs, substance abuse treatment programs, and in private practice. I pride myself in being easy to talk to, a great listener, and an excellent "asker" of the right questions to help people move out of limited or stuck patterns of thinking and being. I have learned so much from doing this work and have also benefitted greatly from being a client of psychotherapy myself, so I am a firm believer in our innate ability to make positive changes where needed as well as to come to a greater level of acceptance and comfort with where and who we already are.

I believe that we all can empower ourselves to gain control over our lives. My focus is to educate and encourage individuals to take an integrative lifestyle (whole body system) approach to achieving and maintaining overall good health, wellness, and disease prevention. I also believe that without self-love, it is impossible to love others. I look forward to working with you and will be waiting for your scheduled appointment. Be well!

*Action-oriented Therapist* Most anxiety and depression evolve from procrastination, which leads to inaction. I have the ability to help people who are looking to take action on their goals which require behavioral change.

After having a career in the medical and academic fields, I went back to college to earn my MSW and LCSW. My focus was to develop the skills necessary to help people in my community. My mission is to give back to the community and to help those who need to overcome the paralyzing effects of depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional thinking rather caused by academic stress/change, a medical condition, relationship issues or life stresses. People suffering from depression, anxiety, panic, and OCD are often not only battling the disease but also its impact on their families. The impacts are great. The impact can be job loss or change, financial issues, marriage difficulties, or family dynamic shifts. Most patients have one or more of these impacts to deal with at the same time they are dealing with their condition. The combination can be very overwhelming and difficult to understand. My focus is to help my clients learn to cope with the new challenges of their condition. Together, we will explore the tools that can be used to learn to cope.

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing virtually within the state of Massachusetts. I received doctoral degree in psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing for 7+ years. I have experience working in hospital settings, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric settings treating primarily adults. I am devoted to helping others at any stage on their mental health journey gain back control of their symptoms and be the best version of themselves that aligns with their values. I use an integrative approach based on clients needs and preferences that incorporates goal setting, active listening, and compassion.

I’m excited to get to know you better! In the meantime, here’s a little about me, and my professional experience and training. I think one of the biggest challenges, after taking that first brave step of reaching out, is to find a good therapist that you connect with. In my twenty-plus years of experience, the therapeutic relationship is the principal reason that therapy “works” or “doesn’t work.” My therapeutic style focuses on first developing a strong therapeutic alliance in which you feel emotionally safe and heard without judgment. You’ve already come to the conclusion that something in your life is not working, and my task is to help you to identify the ways in which you’d like things to be different. From there, together we can create realistic, achievable goals that support those changes and move you toward the life that you deserve. I have a large repertoire of strategies and interventions, which include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Producing insights, strategies, and tools that you can use immediately is the goal of every interaction I have with you. I have extensive experience in trauma, anxiety, relationship issues (adult as well as parent-child), substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. I have found that many people experiencing trauma or anxiety are helped by a combination of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. This teaches them how to tolerate their intense feelings and how to reframe unhelpful thought patterns that keep them stuck. On a personal note, I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1997 and have worked with a variety of clients in many different settings. When I’m not helping people, I can usually be found on the golf course or outdoors. I look forward to helping you to make the changes you desire.

I am a licensed social worker who's worked in the field for 20+ years in healthcare, mental health, and community settings with varied populations from infants to seniors.
