About You Are you in a situation where friends and family are not enough help right now? There are times when almost everyone needs to talk to an objective person. If this is your first time in counseling finding out a little about about your counselor is just one of the steps you have to take. Another is understanding what counseling/therapy is. It's a confidential meeting with an objective professional trained to sort things out and identify if you are at risk of harming yourself because life is too painful to bear. Suppose you are dealing with an unbearable situation such as being threatened of losing a job, a death in the family, a serious illness of your own, ongoing disability or addiction, a relationship going sour or breakup, loss of any kind, depression, and anxiety, I can help you get back on track. The truth is, I have lived a bit. I know what life is like. I was a New Yorker. I settled down in Massachusetts. Then I had a family later than most. Although I did work in human services with my bachelor's degree, I went back to school as an adult with a young child. I am so grateful to be this educated to help my clients. I ran an outpatient early recovery program, an inpatient program for long-term alcoholics, individual sessions at an outpatient community mental health clinic, and of course my private practice. This is who I am. I will be pleased to be your guide on your journey to a happier healthier life. ,

As adults, we are responsible for resolving the traumas that have happened to us, to pick up the pieces and put ourselves back together, not because we are to blame for our experiences, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is, there is no doubt about that. On the flipside it can also be empowering- you are the catalyst for personal change, you can always take a turn or step in a different direction, you can always act differently, feel differently, and (with the right tools and assistance) start the healing process. I am here to help you with this noble, and sometimes difficult work. As a mental health professional, I am passionate about helping others feel more whole, hopeful and effective by developing deeper self-knowledge, self-respect, compassion, resilience and further developing our coping skills to take on the challenged life throws your way. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief to assist clients in reducing distressing thoughts and emotions. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I collaborate with my clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to their symptoms. Through a combination of cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation techniques, and mindfulness practices, I help my clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and increase resilience in the face of life's challenges.

My first focus as a therapist is to foster a space where you can be yourself. Where you can say or feel anything. I try to do this by listening, affirming, being curious, and collaborating with you to find a better way forward. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. Currently, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship problems, meaninglessness, and the residual impacts of past traumas. I do my best to acknowledge the many ways in which social, cultural, and economic inequities shape how we understand ourselves and interact with the world.

As a licensed mental health clinician and certified integrative nutritional counselor in Massachusetts, I understand the challenges people face in navigating everyday life, especially when unexpected circumstances add further complexity. The coping strategies we once relied on often prove ineffective in such situations. True healing isn't about pushing harder—it's about finding balance. Often, the more we strive, the more chaos we create. I believe in the power of acceptance and shifting your mindset to remove obstacles. By honoring the four pillars of wellness—mind, body, spirit, and environment—we can work together to achieve your health goals.

I love my profession! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (independently licensed in FL and MA) for over 25 years with experience working with adults and adolescents, both female and male, inspiring hope while working together to develop essential life skills and healthy coping tools. I take a strength-based approach as I believe everyone can grow and change. The hardest and most important step is reaching out and asking for help, so you are on your way to a better place in your life. Do you find that you tend to dwell on the past and things you can’t change? Do you worry about the future, the what if’s and things you cannot predict? Do you find that you are so busy in life, maybe taking care of others, putting their needs ahead of your own or you forget or don’t feel you have time to take care of yourself? That’s where I can help. I specialize in treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosocial stressors/major life changes, self-esteem building, social skills, trauma and grief. I am very knowledgeable about mental health diagnosis' however I concentrate less on the actual diagnosis because a mental illness does not define who you are. I am here to help guide you to a happy and healthy place in your life.

Are you a parent of a high-achieving adolescent or college student who seems to be withdrawing from school and from their friends? COVID created treacherous hurdles that high school and college students had to navigate including lack of socializing with peers and not having adequate support from teachers and inadequate learning opportunities for them to develop into confident students. Competition is now relentless due to 24 hour access to social media and kids just don't have enough down time to unplug. Are you a veteran of any of the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq? Are you having trouble integrating into civilian life or are traumatic memories of combat preventing you from having healthy relationships? I get it. I served in the U.S. Army from March of 2009 to September 2014 and deployed to Mosul, Iraq as part of Operation New Dawn. I am passionate about helping my brothers and sisters in arms move their lives forward and to find their new normal.

Therapy is a collaborative process and I look forward to helping you on your journey.

My approach is geared toward an individual's personal motivation, whether they are beginning to contemplate change, they are open to learning new coping strategies, or they are ready to understand and shift patterns of behavior that are no longer serving them in a positive way. We will work together to explore what approach(es) are effective for you and your personality. I try to use humor at times to bring some levity to the process of uncovering feelings and self discovery in a way that feels comfortable and approachable to you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. I have a Masters degree from Lesley University in Expressive Therapies, Art Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, and have been providing outpatient mental health services for the past six years. I provide sessions in which individuals can feel seen and heard, developing safety and trust. I encourage clients to identify and expand upon their strengths and supports to create new meaning in their lives. I utilize a person centered approach while incorporating CBT skills, grounding skills, and motivational interviewing, providing room for creativity and imagining new possibilities.

I am a licensed clinical therapist, licensed in Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Utah. Some of the most prominent issues couples face are growing resentment in one or both parties followed by an inability to effectively communicate the challenges that led to the resentment. I truly enjoy working with couples to gain a better mutual understanding of the challenges they are facing, what led to some areas of resentment, and how to communicate these things in a healthy and productive way.

Hi, and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. My undergraduate degree is from Clark University and I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Framingham State. I have experience working in both inpatient hospital settings as well as in outpatient clinics. I also have experience on the non-clinical side of therapy and have seen the struggles with the shortage of therapists. My hope is to change that, by offering meaningful help and support to people seeking care.

Manny is a Mental Health Therapist. He is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. Manny is bilingual and is fluent in Spanish. He received his Master's of Social Work from Springfield College in 2019 as well as a post Master's certification in Adolescent Trauma from Simmons University. Manny's experience as a therapist has allowed him to gain insight into different systems including schools, courts, outpatient and inpatient facilities. Manny has provided individual therapeutic services to children, adults and the elderly. Manny also has significant experience conducting psychiatric emergency mental health evaluations. My passion for the behavioral health field stems from personal and professional experience. As an immigrant, I grew up in an underserved community where there was a stigma associated with behavioral health. As a professional, I understand that across many different cultures, stigma can prevent underlying childhood trauma from being treated, which may result in behavioral challenges throughout adulthood. Furthermore, the lack of culturally sensitive therapeutic services highly impacts marginalized communities, i.e., uninsured, housing insecure, immigrants, etc. This inspired me to give back to my community in a meaningful way: bridging this gap and providing culturally sensitive therapeutic services to individuals by addressing barriers to their behavioral health care.

My name is Richard Alan Mendoza and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. Though I specialize in treating couples and families, I also work with clients that present a wide array of personal issues that include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, stress, substance-use, PTSD, and grief. As a therapist who has been on the other side as a client, I know how difficult it can be to open up to a stranger. My hope is to cultivate a safe therapeutic space to allow the client to breathe and sit in the present moment with themselves and in time, assist the client to discover insights as well as solutions to pertinent issues.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I have my BA in psychology and MA in forensic mental health counseling. I have worked with several mental health organizations including emergency services, inpatient psychiatric hospital, and treatment based prison. I have worked with a variety of individuals experiencing acute mental health episodes, addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, etc. Since I have worked with a diverse client population, I have been exposed to how mental health conditions can present and how those mental health conditions can be stabilized. My main approaches to working with clients are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy because they are goal oriented. I believe it’s important for each client to set goals for themselves and be able to discuss these goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
