Self-Harming Therapists in Carver, MA

I am an LICSW with extensive training and experience in providing treatment to adolescents, adults, families and couples. My expertise is in working with mental illness,substance use disorders, trauma, postpartum and suicide prevention. I take a holistic approach to health and wellness and believe in building on strengths. My practice is culturally sensitive, with a value on a person's race, ethnicity, sexuality and gender identity. From assessment through ongoing treatment, we will work together to manage whatever needs you may have.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology from University of Massachusetts, Lowell, in 1989. I obtained my Master's degree in mental health counseling form Suffolk University in 1993. I completed my certification in graduate studies in counseling at Lesley University in 2006.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families to address the problems they see as holding them from achieving what they want in life. Solution-driven, I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders that stem from phase of life transitions, relationship issues, past traumas, substance abuse, grief/loss, parenting, and the need for social skill improvement. I have worked with clients on various issues, including minor alcohol-related disturbances, anxiety and depression, ADHD, anger, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, career counseling, divorce, trauma and PTSD, and more.

When you are in the middle of challenging circumstances, that is the perfect time to reach out to someone who can give you the support you need. I believe with support, understanding and hope that anyone can reach their full potential. Through my work I strive to enhance the strengths of each individual in order to assist them in meeting their goals. My approach is client-centered where I blend therapeutic elements as they are a best fit for you. I also highly value starting where you are at, fully respecting that change is often difficult.

I aim to make therapy a non-judgmental, collaborative space where there is room for all stories and all experiences. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds with various identities including LGBTQ+ clients. I especially enjoy working with clients with trauma/PTSD, LGBTQ+ clients, those who have experienced intimate partner violence, and those who are dealing with end-of-life issues and/or grief.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief or are engaged in unhealthy relationships, let's work together to help you address your challenges. Through identifying your triggers, patterns of behavior, and the barriers that keep you from being the healthiest version of yourself, we can create goals that are realistic, manageable, and achievable. Let's work together to develop a plan of action that begins with your level of readiness and willingness to change what is currently not in your best interest.

I am a certified licensed social worker specializing in the integrative holistic approach to psychotherapy, counseling and nutritional wellness with twenty-four years in private practice. I utilize my experience and applied knowledge of family systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, nutritional wellness, weight loss and holistic healing to help create lasting and meaningful change. Treatment and healing can only be achieved by working on the entire mind body soul connection and my role is a facilitator providing a safe and comfortable space at which the healing can begin.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing personalized care and treatment for adults and adolescents using a variety of therapeutic and evidence-based approaches.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.
