BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Andover, MA

Do you sometimes wish you could rewind the clock to a simpler time when life felt more care-free? Let's face it, life can be complicated! And individually tailored CBT offers tools to manage stress quickly. You can learn techniques to change negative thoughts, get needs met in relationships, improve sleep, make more time for yourself, and increase your sense of wellbeing. Whether you are coping with the anxiety of everyday stressors that have accumulated over time, or are facing a bigger issue such as managing a chronic illness or life transition, CBT can offer a chance for greater sense of ease as you navigate life's challenges.

Why be imperfectly tuned? Because we need to learn to let go of the idea of being perfect and become truly grounded in ourselves. Many of us are carrying hurts that hinder us emotionally and/or physically. The hurt can manifest in many forms such as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, grief or loss.

I am Yourdeline Sertyl, a certified mental health counselor with more than seven years of expertise.

Emotional distress comes in many forms. We may feel a nagging unhappiness, a sense that our lives have become inauthentic, or have gotten off-track. We may feel held back or overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or perhaps we’re struggling to re-start our lives in the aftermath of trauma. Sometimes it’s relationships in our lives that leave us conflicted or confused. At times pain can be a catalyst for growth. But when it goes on too long, it can end up preventing us from living fulfilling lives. That’s where I come in.

Life can place many demands on us and our lived experiences can make it even more difficult to manage these. Our thoughts and feelings can make it hard to breathe, find motivation to do things, or cope with situations from the past, current moments, or new situations. They can keep us up at night or prevent us from moving forward. It is not easy, but you have taken the first step in the right direction and it would be my privilege to be a part of it. In the beginning, concrete strategies are developed to help with current symptoms and then progress into understanding why these feelings and thoughts exist.
