Therapists in Massachusetts

I’m a therapist with a social work background, and I work with young and middle-aged adults who are dealing with all kinds of stress in their lives. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with many LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals as they navigate the emotional ups and downs that can come with living in a changing social and political climate. Sometimes that stress shows up as anxiety, low mood, or intrusive thoughts that come and go. Other times, it can feel heavier or harder to manage on your own. I aim to create a space that feels warm, genuine, and welcoming—one where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what’s going on. Our work together is centered on what you need and what healing looks like for you. I’m thoughtful, curious, and supportive, and I also know when to be direct. My goal is to help you build tools to cope, make sense of your experiences, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Florida, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts , with experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore yours thoughts and emotions. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness based techniques. I am passionate about supporting clients through times of change and personal growth.

I am originally from Los Angeles and moved to Amherst Massachusetts to study photojournalism at Hampshire College. While I appreciated that pictures tell their own stories, I felt pulled to linger within the ongoing experiences of the folks I captured on film. Obtaining my graduate degree in psychodynamic therapy from Smith College confirmed the importance and complexities of witnessing people beyond just a moment in time.

Over the years I have successfully treated a wide variety of mental health concerns including stress, chronic depression, LGBTQ+, grief/loss, stress management, relationship issues, substance use, and career/life goals. If you have been struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or panic attacks, let's get to the bottom of it! Self doubt, low motivation? We got this! Every individual, couple, and family that I have had the honor to work with is unique and has their own specific needs. Because of this, you can expect custom treatment planning with measurable goals and activities. I primarily utilize a strengths-based approach, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered, and mindfulness. I ensure I meet clients where they are at to help them achieve their goals, giving them a safe space to heal.

Finding a therapist who you trust and feel heard by can be equally as challenging. But that’s where I would like to come in! I believe in building a strong, therapeutic alliance with the children and families I work with so that they feel validated, respected, and supported. My clients describe me as involved, nonjudgmental, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to. I respect all identities, I particularly enjoy working with LGBTQ+ youth, questioning individuals, and gender nonconforming folks. I place a strong emphasis on a family approach, which means I can include caregivers in treatment to maximize the benefits of a holistic and systematic approach. My areas of clinical specialty include: child/adolescent anxiety and depression, peer and family relationships, foster care/reunification/adoption, parenting/coparenting skills, gender affirming care, ADHD and neurodivergent individuals, anger management, and maximizing healthy family functioning.

I provide an open-minded, affirming, and eclectic approach that blends CBT, DBT, expressive, and narrative therapies. My goal is 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 humorous. 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'm essentially something of a generalist; and focus very much on establishing a solid connection with my patients, which I believe creates a supportive and safe sense of relationship with me - essential for change and ongoing redefinition of goals. My own personal goal for my patients is giving them a sense of what the solution might look, and feel like.

My day job is as a school adjustment counselor in a public high school.

My graduate degree is in Mental Health Counseling with a School Adjustment Counseling certification. I enjoy working with clients to help support them in their healing, whatever that may look like.

After two decades in public education, I realized my true passion was helping people navigate life’s challenges on a deeper level. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural next step—one where I could use my ability to truly listen, think creatively, and see the whole picture to make a lasting impact. My work in schools, Major League Baseball, and private practice has given me a broad perspective and deep compassion for the struggles people face. With specialized training in different therapeutic modalities, I’m committed to offering personalized, evidence-based care to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.

In therapy, you can identify and expand upon your strengths and supports to create new meaning in life. I incorporate mindfulness-based skills, including visualizations, breathing exercises, meditations and progressive muscle relaxation, to improve emotional regulation. I also utilize CBT, leading you in identifying self-talk statements that do not serve you, and reframing these statements to better serve you going forward.

Hello there, I am Desire. You might be wondering how therapy can help or how it might work for you. Therapy can be a vehicle to address any number of needs or areas of healing in one's life. I believe therapy looks like more than just talking about thoughts and emotions - though that is certainly part of it. It is about figuring out how to feel empowered, how to cope with life's worries and stressors, and how to overcome the hurts of the past. Therapy can be an effective answer in learning how to deal with any number of issues, including trauma, anxiety, work or relationship challenges, loss and depression, or just figuring out a better way to meet any goals you may have for yourself in life to live more happily and feel more fulfilled. I view a healthy therapeutic relationship as being one where you can be comfortable, heard, and seen to help create a safe space for exploration and growth. I see my role as a therapist as providing education and support that builds trust to allow us to figure out the path to get from where you are to where you would like to be.

Hi and welcome to grow therapy. I'm so glad you've considered therapy as a step toward your self-development! My name is Brittany, but I go by BB. I identify as pansexual and multi-racial.

Specifically, they help drive the pathway when the therapeutic process feels unfamiliar or overwhelming. I am a holistic therapist who focuses on including the mind and body into therapy. I am also a yoga instructor, and incorporate a lot of mindfulness if that's something you're interested in! Overall, I am a therapist that can be flexible what you're looking for: whether it's a chill and relaxed vibe, or if you're looking for homework and structure! I approach therapy as a collaborative process to make sure you feel seen and involved in your own growth. If you're ready to start your journey toward a healthier, grounded, and healed self, I'd be honored to support you!

My journey through abuse, family estrangement, foster care, and the military shaped not only my life, but my purpose.
