Adults Therapists in Lexington, MA

During these trying times we can benefit from a caring, warm, supportive, and knowledgeable person to help with life's challenges such as anxiety, loss/grief, transitions, relationship difficulties, decision making, lack of motivation, identity issues including race, gender, and sexual orientation, and stress that can result in negative feelings including depression.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

My ideal client is often a little uncomfortable internally, manifested as anxiety or depression. Often, clients I work best with have a complex childhood that can filter into current relationships. My clients often love objective data (like I do) and will measure key components of their care to understand if they are improving over time.

My ideal client is someone who is higher functioning and has some self-awareness. My ideal client is between the ages of 25-40, struggling with managing emotional distress, and often has issues with relationships in their lives. My ideal client is in a place where they are ready to do the work, even if it's uncomfortable. Their needs are often centered around building confidence, improving emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and building healthy relationships with themselves and others. My clients desire to obtain peace in their lives, even if that means letting go of what no longer serves them.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerne as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to improve the quality of their thoughts and lives and is willing to put in the effort to make positive changes. They understand the importance of mental health and are open to exploring innovative techniques to improve their well-being. One of the key issues my ideal client might be facing is low self-esteem, addiction issues, difficulty setting boundaries, and navigating difficult life transitions. The goals of my ideal client are centered around self-discovery, personal growth, and living their best life.

Starting or restarting therapy is a courageous step for individuals and for couples. Right now, you may feel stressed or overwhelmed with demands of family and work, a recent loss of a loved one, painful conflicts with people you care about, deep hurts from the past, or unfulfilled dreams of how it all was supposed to be. Amidst the emotional pain you may be feeling and the realization that things are not how you want them to be, there can be the realistic hope that with the help of a therapist who is a good fit, you can find relief from the present pain and a path towards a life filled with joy, connection, and significance.

Searching for the support of a trusted therapist to guide you through life's challenges? Look no further. I am a warm, engaging and active therapist. I bring curiosity and years of professional experiences to assist you in your healing journey.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal. This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior. I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their patterns, thoughts, and unique stories. They may be struggling with anxiety or depression or haven't fully processed traumas and attachment issues in their lifetime. This ideal client may be detached from their emotions, have a hard time letting go, or find it difficult to experience joy. This person is motivated for change and seeks more insight about themselves.

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.

Do you have struggles in your relationships, symptoms of anxiety or depression, grief, emptiness, dissatisfaction, etc.? I believe that therapy can help develop skills of self reflection and awareness, emotional awareness, effective communication, and interpersonal connection — all of which will help alleviate your symptoms. My insight oriented, pragmatic approach to therapy is provided in an environment where you can expect the utmost care and respect from me.

My practice is often FULL. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 35 years and am as passionate about what I do as ever. Recently completed an Accredited Certificate Training Program to provide Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAT.) For folks who are journeying, I offer preparation and integration services. Trained and currently able to legally provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Recently completed Level I training in AEDP which is a therapy modality that resonates deeply with how I attempt to show up as a therapist.

My ideal patient comes with an open mind to participate in talk therapy and narrative therapy. Ready to start a process - not necessarily eager to engage but wanting to make a change. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I focus on working with young male clients (ages 9-25), using a blend of therapy + coaching, focusing on peak performance, confidence, healthy relationships, and athletic performance. The problems I most often see clients experiencing are low self-esteem/confidence, ADHD, anxiety and depression. Riser+Tread aims to reach as many young guys as possible, helping them “Step Up + Move Forward.” My work over the last few years as a therapist and coach has mainly centered around guys ages 8-25. Riser+Tread has one mission, to help young guys by providing helpful information online for free, as well as offering paid services.

My work aims to help individuals and couples better understand themselves in relation to the world around them and to their life experiences. I work with clients above age 16 all the way through the lifecycle. A specific focus of treatment is becoming more aware of habitual negative thinking and what drives those thoughts. I believe that when there is self-awareness, there can be behavior change. I offer a unique form of therapy, Mindfulness Meditation Therapy, where I teach meditation and mindfulness practices while processing the moment to moment experience.

Not accepting new referrals at this time. Are you looking for a safe place to address feelings and behaviors that seem overwhelming? With a direct and gentle approach, and over twenty five years of experience, I offer the space you need to feel safe and begin to notice your own life patterns. Getting unstuck means developing increased awareness and finding new ways of being in our relationship with ourselves and others. I work with people to address concerns from sadness, grief, loss, trauma, depression, shame, low motivation, excessive worry, eating disorders, and adjustment to the many challenges and transitions in life.

In a safe, warm and supportive environment, I help clients deal with their current stressful situations and relationships as well as long term unresolved pains and disappointments. Sometimes these are related, and exploring how the past affects the present is helpful and freeing. Patterns that may be self-defeating are highlighted, and more effective problem-solving and coping skills are developed. Through our work together, clients grow while getting through whatever crisis, transition or stuck place they may be in.

For close to 40 years, I have had the honor and privilege of helping people achieve more gratifying, fulfilling and meaningful lives. Through an active, collaborative, and compassionate approach, I focus on the unique needs of each of my clients. As a seasoned clinician, I have work with a broad range of issues - from mental health disorders to life/work challenges to parent guidance.
