Female Therapists in Deerfield, MA

I am a partner at Leek Therapy. Daytime Telehealth openings available. Making the decision to begin therapy takes courage. Perhaps you are looking to gain perspective, find tools to help cope with anxiety, explore your thought patterns, or delve into personal topics that have been weighing you down. The goal is to emerge with confidence, strength, and perspective in order to handle what challenges may come your way.

Hello! Whatever your intention for therapy, it is important to find a therapist that makes you feel safe, valued, and understood. I believe that my clients are the true guides to their own happiness and destination, resulting in not one specific formula for healing, but rather utilizing each individual's strengths, needs, and interests. I enjoy establishing a conversational atmosphere that is genuine, empathetic, and validating. Through this, I create a safe and nurturing space for self-discovery, self-growth, and healing. My style draws heavily on empathy and mindfulness as well as ACT, IFS, and solution focused therapies.

Using the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing, we will work together to rediscover your strengths, interests, & goals, while releasing self-defeating beliefs as you uncover your own power & purpose. We will work on slowing down, responding to your inner critic, and increasing emotional awareness to bring balance into your life.

I teach EVERYONE- from kids to adults, how to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I teach parents how to help their children regulate their feelings, which in turn helps manage behaviors. My work focuses on the mind and the heart; I focus on reducing unnecessary suffering by learning how to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, so you can overcome life obstacles while respecting your soul's journey. My goal is to pass my skills and knowledge onto parents, adults and children, so you don't need me anymore. I work late afternoons and evenings.

In searching for a therapist it is important to find someone you feel has the capacity to fully listen, to truly understand without judgment, and who can to bear witness to the experience you bring forth to treatment. When two people can walk together safely carrying the weight of one's individual experience and history significant change can occur.This process is an ongoing reminder of the potential curative power behind relationship and the resiliency of human spirit.

Are you interested in exploring the connections between your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual facets of being? Are you feeling stuck in some way, and unsure of how to move through it to find the fluidity you seek? My passion is supporting individuals in becoming increasingly attuned to their true self and identity, gently observing the obstacles and barriers that have muddied the waters. Whether you seek relief from anxiety, clarity around a difficult life decision, or simply a safe place to explore what has been kept in the dark, you want the support of someone who will deeply listen, reflect, and challenge you to grow.

I value and appreciate the trust, safety and non-judgement that comes from a theraputic relationship. Regardless of the reason, I consider myself very respectful of each child, adult or family who begins the therapy process. I strive to meet the client or family where they are at on there journey as I help to guild through strengthening and developing new tools that will help them reach there goals. I work with adults, children and families, struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, PTSD, Child Trauma, Behavioral and Emotional difficulties, ADHD and difficulties with Adjusting to Life Changes.

Do you find yourself struggling to overcome thoughts and behaviors that are doing more harm than good? Do you find yourself saying that logically you know what to do, but you just can't do it? Sometimes when we want to change, it is not enough to simply know what we should do. Often we need to go deeper and help our brains process experiences successfully in order to step away from maladaptive beliefs and behaviors. Utilizing EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, I help clients who struggle with persistent negative beliefs and behaviors including low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and attachment wounds.

As we move from collective difficulty and hibernation, back out into the world, do you want to talk about doing some things differently? At this time, are you wanting to initiate change, add motivation or more quiet softness into your life? How do you handle stress? I help purpose-driven people like artists and/or activists. I also love working with recovering addict/alcoholics. Are you wanting or needing to live more from a place of balance? I help clients work through inner blocks, to reconnect their truth; thereby creating a more intentional life.

I AM SORRY BUT I AM NOT ABLETO TAKE NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I WILL UPDATE THIS MESSAGE WHEN I AM ABLE TO TAKE NEW CLIENTS. THANK YOU AND TAKE GOOD CARE. This life can bring us intense experiences of joy but also pain. My therapy practice focuses on working collaboratively with individuals (children, teens and adults) and groups to create an environment that supports strength and healing in order to bring joy back into balance.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years experience. I work with adults of all ages. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or traumatic histories. I also have experience assisting people with many other issues. I see my first job as therapist to be establishing a relationship with you, within which you will feel accepted, comfortable, and safe. I will work to ask good questions, and to assist and empower you in discovering how to create the positive changes you seek.
