Hi! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Massachusetts. I received my Master's from Westfield State University and have been practicing for 6 years. I have worked with many people experiencing crisis situations in their life. I also work with an array of ages groups.

Hello and Welcome! I am Colleen Barbosa. I have been working in the behavioral health field for over 10 years. Working in this field has always been my passion and I received my masters about 8 years ago. Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.

I am a therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, and the impact of past experiences. I use approaches like CBT and EMDR to help you better understand your patterns, process what’s been holding you back, and build practical tools for lasting change. My style is supportive, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel more grounded and in control.

Hi there! I have been a licensed therapist for 9 years, working in outpatient hospital system; I also worked for 10 years on a psychiatric crisis team. I have worked with just about every type of condition but have concentrated on people with anxiety, ADHD, career decisions and interpersonal relationship struggles. My niche age groups are females/males aged 20-35, whom I see in a very transitional and challenging period in life. Women ages 40-65 are my second demographic. My own lived experiences give me insight and help me to guide my clients through challenging times.

I'm self aware, having chosen a pathway of self exploration to become my best self. I am a survivor of my story, who has always known the importance of never surrendering to any situation life hands me. My resilience and positivity have guided my decisions to choose fighting like hell to be the greatest version of myself. I love laughter, and always make sure to not take myself to seriously. I live passionately with growing self esteem as a result of having the highest priority on SELF LOVE. I am a natural empath having helped many clients to navigate through their hurdles, with much success. My treatment approach will always require my clients to be prepared for the action phase of their journey. Many clients that I have mentored with eating compulsions have had favorable outcomes as a result of our therapeutic relationship. I am a survivor of acting out with food, including a period of 17 years of battling bulimia, and a lifetime of searching for PEACE from the addiction of food. Since October 2004 I have lived in recovery, with no episodes of bulimic behaviors, and a healthy relationship with food beyond my wildest dreams. I have found the PEACE I have been searching for which motivates me to help others to live in a healthy body. I have shared this struggle to allow you a deeper understanding of my personal story. I believe everything I have survived have taught me life lessons that have allowed me to see the humanity within all those that I cross paths with, keeping me non-judgemental, and filled with humility. I have the skills to help you too, I believe that is why I'm here.

When the burdens of our circumstances, relationships, or daily lives, in general, begin to weigh on our shoulders, finding help in a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental space can begin to ease our heavy loads. My name is Caitlin Pierce, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years in the field. I have spent the bulk of my career working with families and individuals in both office and in-home settings. I have a history of training and practice in trauma-focused counseling, relationships (family, marriage, parenting), stress/anxiety management, and I also am a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist. With this specialization, I can support wellness and health-related concerns such as self-esteem, body image, and making lifestyle changes like stress-reduction or shifting priorities. My favorite part of being a counselor is watching the people I work with begin to see a new "story" emerge or a shift in thinking around their presented problems. I like to help clients unlock the parts of their minds that remain stuck in a particular way of thinking or feeling that keeps them from feeling their best. I believe that all of us are capable of change, whether we're 18 or 85, and with healthy support and guidance, there is hope to feel better. I aim to bring my clients a conversational, personal, and humanistic counseling style. I look forward to working together!

Of the many types of relationships that I specialize in, the one dearest to my heart is the relationship between dog and human. With our beloved animals, there exists a special bond that many people are fortunate enough to experience in their lives. Out of this special attachment comes pure joy, but it can also lead to wrenching heartache. Having both personal and professional experience with pet loss grief, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I have personally navigated and worked through the difficult emotions associated with losing my beloved companion. As a licensed mental health counselor, based in Massachusetts, I am passionate about serving others, young and older, who might need support after losing their furry friend. Through telehealth sessions, I provide unconditional warmth, compassion, and empathy, creating a safe space for you to share your story and gain support as you navigate the next steps in your healing journey.

I am licensed in these three states and am certified in Trauma-Focused CBT, Grief and Trauma Intervention, and basic trained in EMDR, as well as crisis intervention training. My experience spans clinical social work, school social work, teaching, clinical management, and program development, giving me a broad perspective on supporting clients of all ages and family systems.

Hi, I’m Jamilex (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional based in Massachusetts. I offer online therapy for adolescents and adults navigating trauma, identity, and life transitions—especially those from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities who are carrying complex stories that haven’t always felt safe to tell. My path to becoming a therapist began long before I earned my degree. Before I became a therapist, I was a young person surviving systems, silences, and scars; searching for safety, words, and meaning. My journey through abuse, family estrangement, foster care, and the military shaped not only my life, but my purpose. I know what it’s like to carry pain that feels too heavy, or too complicated, to name. That journey shaped my belief that even in silence, our stories matter. Even in pain, growth is possible.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through unexpected and challenging life transitions. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, anxiety, grief, or the emotional impact of ongoing stress. My background includes working with individuals and families impacted by serious health conditions, including cancer and other chronic or life-altering illnesses, in both hospital and outpatient settings. I also support caregivers and professionals who are balancing high levels of responsibility while trying to care for themselves and others. Whether you are navigating a health diagnosis, supporting a loved one, managing workplace stress, or facing uncertainty about the future, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.

I’m Philip A. Bower, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Philip A Bower, LICSW, a gay veteran-owned psychotherapy practice. I provide telehealth therapy for adults from early adulthood through later life in Massachusetts, Maine, and Washington. I specialize in anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, men’s mental health, trauma, depression, identity exploration, and life transitions. I also work with clients navigating sexual identity, polyamory, kink, geek culture, spiritual exploration, stress, shame, relationship challenges, and the pressure of living in roles that no longer fit. My approach is evidence-based, holistic, affirming, and human. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (M-CBT), mindfulness, self-compassion mindfulness, and polyvagal-informed techniques. I tailor therapy to each person’s needs, goals, and lived experience rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe therapy can help with both symptom relief and deeper change. That may mean reducing anxiety, improving coping skills, processing trauma, building self-understanding, strengthening relationships, or moving toward a life that feels more authentic, self-defined, and whole. I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and real. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. If you are looking for affirming, trauma-informed therapy that makes room for complexity and helps you move toward the person you want to become, I may be a good fit.

With over 15 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families in schools, homes, and clinical settings, I help clients uncover their strengths, build supportive relationships, and create a foundation for lasting well-being. My approach blends evidence-based modalities—including CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing—with mindfulness and gratitude practices. I create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their emotions, set meaningful goals, and find purpose in their experiences. Together, we work toward building resilience, embracing change, and cultivating a life aligned with your values and vision for the future.
