Therapists in Belmont, MA

From over 30 years of experience, I bring a warm and interactive approach to helping you address emotional issue/s that interfere with living the life you'd like to live. These emotional issues could be depression, trauma, anxiety, divorce, grief, abuse, low-self esteem, etc. I draw from a host of treatment models that I believe will best suit your needs including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). One model is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that's particular helpful in facilitating resolution of issues in a shorter amount of time.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

As a clinical social worker, I provide counseling to adolescents and adults seeking therapy for a number of reasons such as depression, anxiety, past history of abuse/trauma, and relationship issues. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, community and college counseling centers, in residential facilities, and in private practice.

Are you struggling to lead a bigger life? Is self-doubt, anxiety or depression getting in your way? I offer compassionate, non-judgmental treatment for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance use and other issues. Using an integrated approach, I help clients create a toolbox of skills to use in times of distress, and provide a warm and supportive environment for self-exploration, growth and transformation.

I'm not sure I believe in an Ideal client; I think all clients are Ideal, no matter their life circumstances. Life is like a rollercoaster, and when you're going down, you may need someone to be there and help talk you through it. However, If I had to choose, it would be a client having difficulty with self-esteem, self-worth, and depressive symptoms and needing additional assistance building coping skills but expressing readiness to change.

I am a psychologist in practice for over twenty-five years, working with children, adults, teens, and families. My approach is interpersonal and attachment-oriented, but I also use concepts and techniques from meditation and mindfulness disciplines. I am a general-practice psychologist and like to see a diverse cross-section of clients, though I have worked more specifically with family conflict, and children of divorce, in recent years. Currently I am primarily working with adults and couples in remote teletherapy sessions.

I believe personal growth and healing can come from a strong therapeutic alliance. Change and recovery are possible. I promise to provide a safe, trusting environment where you will feel seen, understood, and accepted as you are. My approach is genuine, creative, and curious. I strive to help you recognize beliefs that are holding you back, more effectively face struggles in your life, and learn skills to develop healthier relationships and a more meaningful life. In the end, the larger goal is to make you a better ally to yourself.

Greater ease and well-being. Less anxiety. Getting along better with your partner/spouse, your family or your other close relationships. These are key reasons that people seek counseling.

I bring a playful and curious stance to challenge the idea that you have become your problems, so that you can get some space from the issues bothering you. I work from a narrative perspective to explore with you how stories in our lives impact us in ways we may not always be aware of. I value you as the expert in your own life, and recognize that you already have access to resources and tools that will you help you move forward with confidence and resilience in spite of the current challenges you face.

In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis.
