Therapists in Back Bay-Beacon Hill, Boston, MA

***Now Accepting New Clients*** I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Notre Dame and am under the supervision of Dr. Natasha Holmes.

Hello, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I graduated with my MSW from University of New Hampshire in 2018. I have extensive social work experience in hospitals, government and non profit settings, and transitioned into private practice work three years ago.

I specialize in supporting women navigating menopause, midlife transitions, addressing challenges such and associated emotional shifts. Additionally, I enjoy working with young adults as they navigate the complexities of adulthood and its evolving demands. My approach emphasizes helping clients discover purpose and fulfillment through alignment with their values, cultivating a stronger sense of self, and navigating the intersections of family, career, and personal aspirations.

Are you going through a transition in life? Maybe you are seeking further education in a career or trying to seek insight into the age-old question "What do I want to be when I grow up?" If you feel stuck, depressed, or anxious at the thought of the previous question, I am your person.

I founded Azimuth Psychological, where we focus on the unique challenges of those in high-pressure careers and their families. My specialty is in entrepreneur mental health — especially around co-founder struggles, imposter syndrome, communication skills, burnout, difficulty making decisions under stress, and effective leadership. With my years of clinical training as a psychologist filtered through the lens of my own entrepreneurial journey, I am able to engage with entrepreneurs on a deeper level while providing the nuance, rigor, and evidence-based practice required to address big challenges.

I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. If you're a college/graduate student, young adult, or professional dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, life transitions, relationship issues, academic and career issues, or burnout, you're not alone! I take a warm, collaborative, and tailored approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of my work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience.

Hello there! My name is Parker (he/him) and I am a recent Master of Social Work graduate from West Chester University’s Philadelphia Campus. I have also received my Bachelors of Social Work as well as a certificate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from Temple University. Most of my experience and where my specialties lie is working with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, from a wide variety of ages.

My clients often come to therapy grappling with uncertainty, high stress, or loneliness in their lives. Sometimes they are feeling intense emotions, or behaving in ways that are confusing and frustrating for them. They may be feeling disconnected from other people, or feeling overly worried about how others perceive them. They are seeking more connection, peace and balance in their day-to-day.

The pandemic, political division, racial injustice, and unstable world can lead us to feel off balance, stuck, or afraid. Sometimes we can cope with this on our own, and other times friends and/or family support us. Sometimes that just isn't enough; and we need an objective, nonjudgemental person who has training in counseling to help. I have many years of experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is active, genuine, and strengths-based. It is important to note that I do not take insurance at this time.

What has brought you to seek therapeutic services today? Perhaps you feel misunderstood when you try to connect with others, leaving you lonely and yearning for healthy relationships. Perhaps you are living with grief, causing you to feel both overwhelmed and numb. Perhaps you realize you are lacking in coping skills, resulting in intense feelings of sadness or anxiety. Perhaps you are unhappy with your decision-making and envision brighter future for yourself. You have achieved the first step towards that brighter future by inquiring on mental health services. I offer support towards the wellbeing goals you have set.

I am the Co-Owner of Triad Psychotherapy P.C. (www.triad-psych.com). I am a Black, queer, non-binary, neurodivergent therapist who specializes in helping adults who had difficult upbringings work through trauma, perfectionism and/or co-dependency. Our work will empower you to set healthy boundaries and unlearn thinking patterns that keep you stuck. I pay attention to how your identities shift and change to shape who you are and how you want to grow. I want to help you embrace your emotional sensitivity and accept your authentic self.

I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working for them is no longer working. Maybe you feel stuck, unseen, unheard, anxious, angry, or "enmeshed" in your interpersonal relationships. Maybe there's estrangement or you are contemplating cutoff. Maybe your values are being tested by your workplace. You have been here for a long time, but believed you needed permission to feel this way: "Just another year," "just a little more." In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

I think it's important to connect with clients; understand their beliefs, goals, coping strategies, current issues, and history; and work collaboratively toward what they want in life. I use an empathetic, encouraging, egalitarian, and holistic approach, along with humor, to connect with, understand, and encourage clients.

I started off as a nurse and decided to return to school and get a masters in counseling psychology. I spent more than 25 years in addiction, including the years I spent as a nurse (11 years). I also have been a clinical supervisor and director of substance abuse programs, which made me realize I love working with clients individually and went into private practice.

My perspective on therapy is one that fosters individual's strengths and resiliency, by honoring the individual's background and experience within a holistic approach. I support the whole person through relationships, career, spirituality, culture, health and wellness. My therapeutic process addresses your specific personal life challenges by examining your circumstances and discovering your obstacles. Together, we will develop a course of action to meet your needs. My goal is to help you learn how to make choices that create an authentic and long-lasting change.

Congratulations on taking the first (and sometimes difficult) step of reaching out for help and meeting your personal goals. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a M.S.W from University of California, Berkeley School of Social Work, and a BA from Connecticut College. I have a background working in various settings with children, young adults, and families in the child welfare system in CA, in various hospital social work settings here in Boston, and in college mental health.

I help you clarify your values and goals, and then encourage you to live life based on those values and goals. I teach you how to best connect with self and others, and believe such connection increases your capacity and possibility for living a life of ease, contentment and passion. Connection leads to better health and well-being. Once you feel safe in connection the possibilities are endless.

Effective psychotherapy is a collaborative process and begins with a motivated client and a well-trained clinician. Whether you're dealing with a challenging relationship, a frustrating career, or symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy can be a highly effective resource. In the first couple of sessions, I conduct an evaluation to familiarize myself with your presenting issues and history. We then take steps to hone skills you already have and to develop new strategies to help you navigate your life more successfully. Depending on your needs and preferences, we can work in a short-term model or on an open-ended basis.
