Our in person group focuses on helping children ages 7-12 gain coping strategies by building their own "Coping Toolbox." Each week your child will create a new "tool" to add to their Toolbox. At the end of the 6 weeks, your child will have their very own "Toolbox" they can take home and new tools they can utilize when feeling overwhelmed. The last ten minutes of each group session will include check-ins with supporting adults to review the tools created that week and how to utilize it to support your child.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety - whether it’s from external demands or internal struggles. Maybe it's social anxiety, "a life transition," or healing from trauma. Or maybe it's something more general, like you want to feel more "in control" of your emotions…and your life. I can help. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your challenges, empowering you to move forward - with skill and confidence. I use “treatments that work” (CBT, DBT, mindfulness, etc). But we’ll find what works for YOU. Lastly, I don’t just want you to just “feel better.” I want you to live your best life. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Music plays a vital role in most teenagers’ lives. It mirrors their feelings, helps them feel heard and understood, and connects them with their peers. Through music listening, art, and creative writing, participants will learn mindfulness practices for relaxation, nurturance, and self-care. Music will be used as a tool to slow down, go inside, and focus on the here and now. Participants will choose music that helps them connect with their vitality and calmness within. The group experience will foster the recognition of their own experience together with others. In this way loneliness and isolation can move towards a sense of belonging.

Greenleaf Therapy is offering a weekly Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group for teens. This group will run in 8-week rotations and will focus on building skills in the following areas: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.
Greenleaf Therapy specializes in anxiety, OCD and depression in children, adolescents and adults using a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also incorporating elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). We offer individual therapy and group therapy, as well as an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for anxiety/OCD in children/adolescents.
In this 40-week group program for clients with trauma-related dissociation, we identify how dissociation affects adult life, learn inner communication and emotion regulation skills, and develop coping skills for trauma triggers. Each session has four phases, information, skill-building, debriefing, & at-home practice. We use Coping with Trauma-Related Dissociation (Boon, Steele, & Van der Hart, 2011) as a learning tool. This is a closed groups, i.e. participants start together in early September and complete together. Please note that you need to be in individual therapy to participate. Next group starts 09/25, 12-week group 01/25.
Please note that I currently only have openings for upcoming groups, not individual therapy. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant who specializes in the treatment of trauma and dissociation. I believe that healing from trauma is possible (as opposed to just learning how to cope with post-traumatic symptoms). I consider therapy a collaborative, creative process. Clinically, I am warm, active, innovative and data-driven. I incorporate clinical hypnosis, inner child work, ketamine assisted psychotherapy, TF-CBT, EFT, mindfulness, the FLASH technique and polyvagal exercises into EMDR therapy as needed.
Teens will learn DBT skills to better regulate emotions and behavior, improve relationships, increase self-awareness, and build a life that feels more worth living. This is a traditional adherent DBT Skills Group led by a board-certified DBT clinician. $1800 for the full session, per teen. This group will be a mixture of in-person and virtual meetings (in-person meetings held in Amesbury, MA). **Starts July 2, 2024**
All of our actions serve a purpose at some point. However, our goals/priorities change and sometimes our once-useful behaviors become ineffective or even harmful. I often describe dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as “common sense therapy.” Using familiar concepts, DBT helps people recognize when their behaviors are no longer serving them and teaches skills to more effectively meet their needs/goals.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression and/or trauma? I believe we all have the innate ability to heal. Our bodies and minds are drawn towards wholeness and health. However, painful experiences can constrict us, blocking these natural processes and obscuring our view of our true nature, like clouds obscuring a clear, spacious sky. Together, we will clear the blockages that have kept you stuck and gotten in the way of realizing your full potential. Let's begin the process of you coming home to yourself.

Often times, life's waves produce times of emotional hardship marked by deep seated feelings of grief, sadness, confusion, depression, worry, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to have the space, support, and safety to address the waves inherent in everyday life without judgment. If you are experiencing a life transition, a break-up, day-to-day parenting and relationship stress, or you are simply being haunted by past events or thoughts that don't seem to budge, therapy can provide an outlet to gain the insight, awareness, and relief you may be seeking.
