Hello and Welcome! I have been practicing clinical social work for almost fifteen years and take great pride in helping others. I have worked with clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma response symptoms, mania and so much more. My approach is always about meeting you where you are at. My skill set includes years of practicing CBT, trauma processing, solution focused work, motivational interviewing, relational and psychodynamic techniques. My previous work experience includes a variety of settings with most of those years being in outpatient behavioral health. What I have always been most impressed with is the amount of strength and resiliency each person I meet already possesses. If you decide to join me in therapy, I eagerly await helping you to identify and build upon your own strengths and resiliency.

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 master's about 9 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 an enthusiastic and caring counselor and I feel honored to work with the clients in front of me. I care greatly about making sure my client's feel heard and providing them with the focus and attention they deserve. I work within an eclectic style of therapeutic modality and try to model my services around the specific needs of the client.

My name is Joshua Barbour, I am a board Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Massachusetts. I earned my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work both from Bridgewater State University. I work with individuals, families and couples. Having been a social worker for the last decade, I have a true appreciation for the vulnerability and strength it takes for someone to seek support and engage in services.

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!

Do you ever feel misunderstood, no one ever listens or cares about your life? Do you sometimes feel that you are trapped in a room without an exit? I will never exactly understand what it is like to be you, however I believe that significant progress can be made in even the toughest of life situations. Having someone that will listen and cares about your circumstances and strives to find a solution is imperative. I love to collaborate with my clients and develop a blueprint which can help them achieve their goals. Whatever your struggles, there's always a way out.

I work best with clients who want a therapist who is direct and actively engaged in the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a place you're talked at or judged. I feel strongly about the alliance feeling comfortable and natural. I'll always meet you where you're at and help you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

Hello, I’m Carolyn, a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker (LICSW) at Grow Therapy. I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support—whether starting therapy for the first time or finding a new therapist—can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore what brings you to therapy and to identify meaningful goals we can work toward together. I strive to meet you where you are and support you at your own pace throughout the process. One of the most meaningful compliments I’ve received was from a client who shared that I made them feel “so special.” That reflects the heart of my approach—I lead with compassion and aim to help each person feel valued, supported, and understood, especially during difficult times. You may also occasionally see my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chloe, who sometimes joins sessions to provide a little extra comfort. You are not alone. I’m here to support you, and I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your journey toward healing.

Hi, I’m Gretchen Raring-Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW: NJ, FL, AZ & ND; LICSW: MA) with 20+ years of experience helping people face life’s hardest challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with individuals and couples who are ready for more than just talking-I offer a direct, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can be real about what’s going on and start moving forward. My background includes mental health, addiction, trauma, veterans’ issues, homelessness, and the criminal justice system. I’ve worked with people in some of the most difficult situations, and I believe real change is possible for anyone willing to take that first step. Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s holding you back-connecting patterns, emotions, and experiences so things start to make sense. From there, we’ll build practical tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. This is a space for honest conversations, real insight, and meaningful change-at a pace that works for you.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m glad you’re here! Over the course of my career, I have held clinical roles across the continuum of care, including crisis clinician, inpatient social worker, outpatient clinical supervisor, assistant program director of an eating disorder program, and Clinical Director of an outpatient practice. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My clinical training includes but isn't limited to CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy to name a few. I draw from these modalities flexibly, always prioritizing the therapeutic relationship and what will be most helpful for you, in my integrative approach to therapy.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a PhD, I bring both advanced clinical training and a deep commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. My work integrates evidence-based approaches with thoughtful insight, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions with clarity and confidence. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting change.

Welcome! My name is Shannon and I am an individual therapist working with adults who are hoping to live a more fulfilled and balanced life. This includes addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, phobias and OCD, as well as navigating identity exploration, relational challenges and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling to navigate change, working to find a clearer sense of self and purpose, or working to better manage your overall mental health and well-being, I look forward to supporting you on your path of healing and growth.

After many years working in science, I got training in psychotherapy: first in psychoanalysis, then in powerful, evidence-based emotion-focused approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT/EFIT), AEDP and EMDR. This blend lets me speak to both your heart and your mind. Together we’ll figure out what approach works best for you—whether it’s deep exploration, emotional processing, or a more targeted skills based approach. My goal in our sessions is to create a safe space between us—where you can feel truly secure enough to explore your own way of connecting to the world, to others, and to yourself. I want this to be a place where being vulnerable doesn't feel risky, where emotions can come up without judgment, and where you get to practice being seen and heard exactly as you are. From there, we build the confidence and skills to carry that sense of safety into your everyday relationships and life. If that sounds like something you'd like to try, I'm ready whenever you are. Reach out—let's start

Hi, my name is Bradley Levy LICSW and have 20 years of experience in the field. Are there changes that either you want to or need to act upon? If things feel too difficult to change and you need guidance, support, direction, and empathic listening you might be a great candidate for individual therapy from me. What separates me from other clinicians is my versatility. Throughout my career, I have worked at every level of care and every population. From individual therapy/group therapy to intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs to being the clinical director at a locked psychiatric hospital, I have seen pretty much everything. My main objective in all cases is to try and build a trusting rapport/relationship in which no judgment is made and an atmosphere where one can feel safe talking about difficult issues, their current level or desire to change through motivational interviewing and CBT. Over the years I have come to develop areas of extreme expertise such as addiction (either oneself or a loved one), co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis, dealing with any diagnosis from adjustment disorders to more complex or serious mental illness which includes major depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and the conditions that fall within these categories. In addition, I can offer case management services, assist with paperwork, or find the right treatment if need a higher level of care.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Charuta Pednekar, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW). My professional journey spans over 17 years, during which I have worked extensively as a medical social worker in various hospitals, and community mental health centers. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face at different stages of life and in various circumstances. My Professional Background Education: Master’s in Social Work (MSW) Licensure: Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) Experience: Over 17 years in hospital settings, non profit organizations and community mental health center. I have had the privilege of working with adults and seniors facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, adjustment to medical diagnoses, grief, family conflict, and more.

As a therapist, I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as people navigating trauma and chronic PTSD. I work with adults and teenagers, and I recently expanded my practice to include couples. This work is particularly meaningful to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult woman myself. Receiving a late diagnosis can bring tremendous relief and understanding, while also opening the door to grief for the years spent without the support, language, or understanding you deserved. There can be an inherent trauma in being neurodivergent in a world that often asks us to adapt ourselves rather than adapting to us. Many neurodivergent people have histories of masking, shame, rejection, chronic misunderstanding, and feeling like something is fundamentally wrong with them. Therapy can be a space to unpack those experiences and develop a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself.

Hey there, I'm Aisha Atis, LCSW, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to a journey of growth and discovery. Life can throw some pretty tough stuff our way, right? But here's the thing , you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to be your partner as we navigate through those overwhelming moments together. Let's keep it real, Life can be messy.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness.

I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel deeply heard, understood, and supported — while also being gently challenged to grow. I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, identity struggles, life transitions, and recurring emotional or relational patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level conversations. Together, we explore the deeper emotional dynamics behind behaviors, relationship patterns, fears, and internal conflicts while also building practical tools for lasting change. Clients often describe my style as warm, emotionally attuned, insightful, and direct in a compassionate way. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest with themselves while also developing the clarity and confidence needed to move forward differently. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations in both English and Spanish, and I strive to create a culturally sensitive environment where clients feel genuinely understood. In addition to therapy services, I also offer immigration-related psychological evaluations and clinically appropriate Emotional Support Animal (ESA) assessments and letters as separate private-pay services outside of insurance coverage. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or trapped in repeating cycles — and leave with stronger self-awareness, healthier boundaries, and a renewed sense of direction.

I have been a LCSW for 38 years, providing psychotherapy. I still enjoy seeing people better understanding themselves, and getting to the point where they see more of what they want in their life. Many clients have spoken of my authenticity, which allows them to be comfortable in themselves. I work to empower people so they can feel more capable in accomplishing their needs and goals.

Hi there! Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone.

As someone who has been to therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to take that next step. Finding the right therapist can be hard.

I hope we can work together to help you reach your goals. While the first step is acknowledging the change you need, it takes courage to recognize you need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps towards improving your life.
