Therapists in Fall River, MA

My ideal client feels overwhelmed by anxiety daily. Work or family life have conflicts, maybe both are unpleasant. But you want to succeed and have a good life. You are tired of not understanding yourself and want a better life..

Imagine: I have a magic wand and grant you the tools to navigate you or your child's ups and downs. What would be different if you had these tools? I am invested in my clients gaining this ability and will work with you to make your life feel more manageable by building upon strengths. I work with women who have carried around harmful, internalized messages through their lives and are looking to deconstruct and heal. My other love is in working with children. I believe that intervening in a child's life while their brain is permeable and eager to learn can make a difference for the rest of their lives.

Are you a chronic worrier? A people pleaser? Is it uncomfortable to just BE, and not do? Do you spend a lot of time in your head? Ruminating and spiraling, unable to find your way out? Does your stomach churn when you feel overwhelmed or unsure? Does your chest or throat tighten with fear? Do you want to change but no matter how hard you try these patterns and behaviors persist? What if you could free yourself from these uncomfortable, limiting patterns and develop the unwavering inner guidance needed to live life with less struggle and more ease?

Individual clients welcome. In my professional journey, I've had the privilege of guiding thousands of clients from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique stories and challenges. I help individuals cultivate a deep understanding of their emotions, fostering emotional intelligence that is crucial for personal growth. I strive to create a space where feelings are acknowledged and processed, to clear a path for success. Embracing wellbeing as a fundamental aspect of strength is at the heart of my approach. The goal is for you to become an insightful expert of your own life - past, present and future.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed with college life, struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma, feeling isolated or misunderstood in relationships, having difficulties with parenting, dealing with the aftermath of psychiatric hospitalization, or considering a leave of absence from school. We believe healing and change happen in relationships; it doesn't require a diagnosis from me—your experience is what matters. It’s about creating a safe, person-centered, anti-oppressive, and non-judgmental space where we share the journey with empathy and solidarity, working together to find strength and resilience. You are not alone.

Are you looking for a culturally responsive therapist who "gets it"? My focus is on supporting older adult women and men from multicultural backgrounds who are struggling with managing all the stressful demands that life brings. My journey in this field has been driven by a deep commitment to providing a safe and understanding environment for those navigating the complexities of parenting stress, relationship challenges, depression, and life transitions. I strive to create a space where you feel heard and understood, empowering you to explore your feelings and find effective strategies for managing stress.

We believe that emotional stability is the hallmark of success. It is no surprise that highly successful people dedicate substantial amount of time and effort to the their emotional wellbeing. Understanding the thoughts, feelings and response triangulation helps individuals overcome most mental and emotional distress. Whether it’s a career change, starting a business, choosing a long term partner or choosing where to live. Most of the things that hold us back are deeply embedded in our subconscious mind. Fortunately, that’s also where our secrets to success are hidden too. Let’s help you break the unhealthy pattern & build new ones

I have experience treating adults with grief and loss issues, coparenting and family issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, and parenting and life transitions including divorce, loss and employment. My ideal client wishes to improve their overall quality of life personally and/or professionally.

Accepting new clients! Our journey on this Earth is filled with beautiful moments and experiences, and yet, it also seemingly encompasses the exact opposite. Persevering through the challenges in order to seek that beauty again is often difficult and overwhelming. My purpose is to support and guide you through it. I believe life is about balance and discovering the harmony within it. Together we can build a renewed sense of hope, increase your insight to better understand yourself and the world around you, nurture change, and ultimately get back to enjoying the journey we have in this life.

After 30 years in private practice, I have retired to do what I most enjoy which is helping our veterans connect with healing and growth experiences they find helpful. Among these is a program of mindfulness meditation in Nature. For more information, go to my website at Guidedwildernessconnections.com.

Accepting new clients (morning & early afternoon availability- primarily telehealth). Limited availability for therapeutic nature walks in the Canton area. Are there things you are ready to let go of (or embrace)? Are you ready to dive more deeply into your experience of being alive? Do you wonder how childhood experiences might still be affecting you today? Are you struggling with anxiety or low self esteem? I can help you explore your relationship to others, the world, and yourself and help you reconnect with your inner wisdom in order to live a more aligned and intentional life.

I feel honored to work with individuals who are motivated to explore issues, establish goals for change, and take restorative steps toward stress reduction and inner peace. I am a licensed Gestalt psychotherapist who focuses on reintegrating our broken parts, and an ordained Buddhist priest/Zen Teacher (Sensei). I believe returning to one's original self is key to entering life's many challenges. It is a humbling honor to enter this exploration and journey with clients that enter my practice.

Don't say it...You are exhausted, right? There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything you had intended to do done. On the good days you are walking through a fog and on the not so good ones you call out and binge watch something on tv. Next morning the alarm and you try again. Is this you? My ideal client is someone who wants to fire me. Nothing makes me happier than a check in call from a past client who just wants to check in while things are great, or to work through a bump in the road. It's my goal to get people beyond their current hurdles and back to living their best life.

I help people who are exploring questions of sexuality, gender expression, and relationship styles to accept themselves in their beauty and strength, so they can experience loving connection in their lives. Whether you are struggling with gender expression, sexual orientation, desire for multiple partners, BDSM or kink, or other desires that are outside the mainstream, I am here to listen, to educate, to guide, and to help you integrate the parts of you that are currently closed off. I also work with trauma and grief, and provide a space for the boundaried expression and relief of old wounds.

Entering this field a bit later in life, it was not without gaining, and continuing to gain, multiple perspectives associated with trials stemming from family of origin, marital, trauma, secondary trauma, relationship, parenting-to raise/parenting-to-prepare, job-related, adoption/reunification, loss, life transition and elder care issues. I know life's journey to be replete with challenges. I also know it to be rich, adventurous, rewarding. I've learned obstacles are more easily negotiated with support and that becoming our own agent of change is not as elusive as it may often seem.

I am passionate about creating space for clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures, to share freely who you are, being able to explore your values, feelings, and thoughts within an authentic and accepting environment. I believe that we each have many layers that influence how we experience the world and our lives. My areas of expertise include addressing depression/anxiety, adjustment to college, grief, life transitions & stress related issues, finding existential meaning/life purpose, academic performance, and LGBTQIA+ together with related issues of marginalization and familial expectations.

I am a warm, engaging, interactive therapist. People tend to suffer alone with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Distress, Eating Disorders, Grief over loss & Life Transition Complexities. We are all met with obstacles, unexpected curve-balls and difficult life challenges. I specialize in working with young adults who feel unprepared to deal with transitions to college, first jobs, relationships & sexual identity. Navigating necessary changes in family dynamics can be especially complicated as young adult separate and create space to develop and decide for themselves what their independent adult life will look like.
