Therapists in Cambridge, MA

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I use primarily relational and psycho-dynamic approaches to help people understand and make meaning of current conflicts and difficulties and to develop a compassionate narrative in relation to these difficulties. My focus is on supporting desired changes and the capacity to live a more fulfilling, self-determined life. Mindfulness and acceptance practices are an integral part of my work.

My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands the challenges of navigating several cultures? I work with multicultural individuals, couples, and families. In relationships, cultural differences often come up in the ways we disagree or express anger, in our expectations around dating, and in what we find normal or not when raising kids. Navigating these challenges alone can feel discouraging and like no one really understands, but a culturally competent psychologist can help.

I enjoy working with others struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, confidence, spirituality, relationship issues, and self-worth. I often find myself working with those who are learning how to honor their intuition and develop their true and higher selves. I also enjoy working with clients who are open to alternative therapies. I am a heart-centered and strengths-based therapist who meets clients where they are in life and strives to provide a nurturing environment to allow my clients to grow into the best versions of themselves.

In life's ever-changing currents, we can easily find ourselves swept up by stresses from work, relationships, transitions, and family dynamics. Whether these experiences are positive or negative, our minds and bodies often react in similar ways, leading to feelings of worry, anxiety, loneliness, and confusion. These emotions can help us adapt to change, but they can also make us focus too much on problems and doubt ourselves. This can really affect our self-esteem, especially when we're working in highly competitive fields like finance, tech, healthcare, or academia.

Accepting new clients! Many clients I work with are looking for a space to process symptoms related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and body image/eating concerns. I work to help my clients identify what may have happened in their past that has impacted the way they feel today, and to build skills to live a more fulfilling life now. I acknowledge that therapy is an incredibly vulnerable experience, and work at the pace my clients feel most comfortable at. It is not uncommon for laughter to find it's way into my sessions, and I am able to find a unique balance between warmth and challenging to best assist you.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy to help folks live happier, healthier, and more authentic lives. As the mixed-race child of a single mother who immigrated to the US to make a better life for her family, I want to carry on her mission to improve the lives of others. My therapeutic approach emphasizes building relationships, creating structure, and using whatever strengths, interests, and passions you have to build consistent momentum towards reaching your goals. I believe in progress, not perfection, and folks motivated to grow and heal by doing the work are always welcome in my practice.

Having either been through challenges or currently existing in crisis, my clients want to stop merely surviving and instead begin thriving. They see the way things are, and they are no longer satisfied with it. My clients seek understanding, internal peace, and personal growth. They need help clarifying their goals and identifying the methods by which to achieve them. They want to live a life based on their personal values, uninhibited by mental health challenges or relational struggles.

Not currently accepting new Clients. It takes courage to seek out a therapist to find the help you long for. It is my practice to meet you with compassion exactly where you are and together we will work to relieve your distress. You will no longer be alone. I will help you find your way to purpose, meaning and connections with others and with Self. Whatever your struggles in life are, we will work to overcome them so that you can become the version of yourself that you wish to be. Our work together is collaborative. We will form a partnership to help you meet your goals.

I’m Dr. Dede O’Shea, a licensed and board certified psychologist offering virtual services for adults and older teens. I often work with individuals in need of private consultation, with a specialized focus on attention and memory problems, including ADHD, concussion, emotional issues, or chronic illness.

My goal is to establish a collaborative and trusting relationship with clients that fosters a safe space for them to explore their emotions and experiences. I am committed to using a flexible client-centered and culturally aware treatment approach that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. My approach to psychotherapy is based in psychodynamics and relational theory and incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. My trauma-informed therapeutic style is nonjudgmental, empathic, empowering, and warm.

*NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*We all need support, guidance and inspiration on the journey of becoming who we most want to be. Issues that emerge in relationships often stem from a disconnect from the self. My hope is to support individuals in connecting to their own inner wisdom in attempt to live with authenticity. I specialize in work with sexuality and gender and see couples of any/all genders. I focus on communication, repair after betrayal, trust and intimacy. With compassion, I support clients in living their truths, understanding patterns, exploring different aspects of themselves and developing insight and awareness.

I believe that the most profound healing happens in connection with others. I utilize a psychodynamic, client-centered approach which prioritizes connecting meaningfully with my clients on their own terms, and allowing my client's needs to drive the direction of therapy. I draw on my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and couples / family therapy to enrich my work with individuals. I am a postgraduate Fellow at Clinical Alliance Services, LLC and the Psychodynamic Couple & Family Institute of New England.

My practice focuses supporting people in clarifying their values and in living lives that realize their deepest values. I believe that there are many ways to be mentally healthy, and I pursue a pluralistic view of mental health, one which varies from person to person. I aim to be a patient and supportive companion for you to determine what is important to you and to make meaningful change.

My ideal client is someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, lack of confidence, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. If you want to learn coping strategies, identify triggers, learn about symptoms, and find your inner strength, then consider partnering up with me to improve your mental health.

Hi there! My name Anna Cardoso and I am here to help you on your journey. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Holistic Coach, and a Reiki Master. I truly believe we all have the power to heal ourselves and it is my mission to share with you alternative methods to help you on your path. I like to think of it as finding your way back home to yourself and I am here to help you remember how. I fell in love with yoga and energy work in search for healing for my chronic pain and past trauma. Healing comes from the inside out and we first have to begin with ourselves.

I provide a warm and empathic environment that focuses on individual strengths to help my clients cope with life challenges and foster a sense of meaning in life. I help clients cope with issues related to: immigration and acculturation stress; relationship problems; depression; anxiety; trauma; academic and job-related struggles; and grief and loss. I consider it a privilege to hear a client's personal story and collaboratively work towards a greater understanding of oneself to reduce distress, set achievable goals and make long lasting changes.

In person clients preferred. Similar to life therapy is a journey. And with all journeys, nobody deserves to go at it alone. I offer a safe and supportive space for self exploration and healing. My practice is strongly eclectic, art therapy based, and person-centered. Therapy is a collaborative process and together we will find the best interventions to tailor to your unique needs, as I believe the most successful journeys are done as a team. You are the expert and I am here to support you with unconditional positive regard and provide the tools you need as you navigate your journey.

Much of who we are today is the result of life events that left us feeling helpless, alone or broken. Some of those wounds if they go unchecked may cause us to rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms, a loud inner critic and/or a self rejection part. Unlearning some of these mechanisms is part of the healing journey. I invite curiosity, careful reflection while honoring your knowledge and wisdom to heal. I use various clinical treatment approaches from trauma informed framework, relational attachment, emotion focused to spiritual/Christian faith/based.
