Blue Cross Therapists in Cambridge, MA
My clinical orientation primarily emphasizes psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy approaches and is rooted in relational and person-centric models. I have advanced training in psychodynamic approaches as a Fellow at the Boston Psychoanalysis Society and Institute. My style is eclectic and I derive techniques from a comprehensive range of approaches, including solution-focused, narrative, multicultural and expressive models of psychotherapy. I recognize that there are cultural limitations inherent to each of these approaches and endeavor to tailor the therapeutic experience to respect clients’ diverse backgrounds.

When you’re struggling, it can be difficult to feel comfortable around others, show compassion for yourself, or let your guard down. Healing can feel impossible and it can be hard to see your own gifts. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to recover those gifts. I use a relational psychodynamic lens to help explore the connection between how you currently move through the world and how you learned how to make sense of the world. I also use somatic therapies like EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help bring attention to the way the body stores emotions and experiences and release patterns that no longer serve you.

It can be challenging and scary to seek counseling and to take the first steps toward desired change. Being aware of that, Latrese is grateful and eager about the opportunity to meet people where they are and to help them get to where they want to be.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me and engage with me effectively. This includes open lines of communication and utilizing therapy times efficiently. I don't believe that progress can be rushed and have no interest in "fixing" anyone. However, I am always honest in my assessments, thoughts, and opinions with clients, and my hope is that my client will do the same. My ideal client is a client who is eager to talk and is open to feedback. My ideal client is also someone who is willing to work through set backs or challenges, together as a team.

As an Advanced Fellow at Clinical Alliance Services, I use psychodynamic, developmental, systems, and relational approaches in my work. By being open to learning about the past and how we evolved, I believe we can find different ways of being in the present that alleviate suffering and support creativity and openness. I try to help clients see and appreciate their own emotions and strengths and to be curious about how they might be stuck or blocked. I strive to help each person seek and support their unique place in the world.

I believe there are many ways to bring about change, and work collaboratively with clients to identify the ways that will work best for them. My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating relational, psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions. I am committed to understanding clients within their cultural contexts, and pay close attention to the impact of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and, when relevant, religion on development and identity.

I believe it's crucial to acknowledge that feelings associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions are inherent to the human experience. My aim is to provide compassionate guidance in navigating these emotions, empowering individuals to effectively manage them and lead more fulfilling lives. Central to my approach is the concept of reducing the overwhelming intensity of these feelings, enabling individuals to gain clarity and perspective. By helping clients "turn down the volume" on their emotional turmoil, I strive to create space for them to explore and understand themselves more deeply.

I love working with people who have come to therapy because they really want to change something about their lives that isn't working. Being in therapy takes a certain amount of courage, and those who show up openly to the experience and bravely start working are satisfying to work with. I'm also interested in those who can commit to having a real relationship in therapy. Based on my own personal and clinical experience, the development of a warm, empathic, safe relationship is key to therapeutic success.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.
