Therapists in Lexington, MA

Welcome to my practice! My hope is you can find a safe place here. All are welcome - none are judged. In my work, I most often support LGBTQ+ and transgender folks, as well as people navigating eating disorders and/or struggles with body image. I also do a lot of ADHD and trauma work. I'm affirming of all sexual, gender, and body identities and presentations. I'm very experienced working with polyamory and ethical non-monogamy and am a sex and kink-positive therapist. In my work around eating, bodies, and body image, I work from a Health at Every Size framework, support fat liberation, and believe all bodies are good bodies.

I have been working as a child and adolescent psychotherapist for over 30 years, addressing a myriad of issues that keep children from reaching their full potential. Through play therapy, discussion, improving family communication, and teaching coping strategies, I am able to form trusting relationships with my clients that allow them to overcome challenges. I have helped many children and adolescents improve their self esteem, make better choices, cope with depression and anxiety, stop self-harm, navigate school problems, and improve social interactions. I also work with parents to help them achieve greater harmony with children.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, or life changes? I can assist you with developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and utilizing tools to manage your mental health effectively. I aim to work with clients willing to help themselves and open to the therapeutic process. This mindset will allow us to build a positive therapeutic relationship that can bring about positive changes in their lives.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD, eating disorders and body image, & sexual health. My ideal client is anyone who comes to me ready to engage in the real work of therapy. Someone looking for guidance, connection, and relentless support. Someone who wants to change something about their inner experience so they can show up differently for the people in their lives and have a positive ripple effect on the world.

Are you as happy as you'd like to be? I can help you understand and address the root causes of what's blocking you from accomplishing what you want in life. Whether it's help with a recent 'life transition' situation, or dealing with longer-standing issues of depression, anxiety or difficulties in relationships, I'm confident I can help.

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

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.

Welcome! Navigating life's transitions and unexpected life events can be challenging. In my practice, I specialize in providing support to adults, adolescents and their caregivers during these pivotal moments. Drawing from evidence-based approaches and a compassionate understanding of individuals experiences, I help clients explore the complicated feelings that often come with transitions; the uncertainty, confusion, anxiety, sadness or fears. Together, we will work to cultivate resilience, develop new coping skills and foster healthy communication skills. My ultimate goal is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

It can be challenging and scary to seek counseling and to take the first steps toward desired change. Being aware of that, Latrese is grateful and eager about the opportunity to meet people where they are and to help them get to where they want to be.

Welcoming New Patients - Easy, Secure Telemed (In-person currently unavailable) Over the past two years, the pandemic has illuminated areas in our lives that no longer serve our physical or emotional wellbeing, and highlighted the need for support and healing on many levels. If you are interested in taking a deeper look at the thoughts, fears, and unhealed aspects contributing to distress, I welcome this opportunity to work together.

I enjoy working with high-functioning, insight-oriented adults, couples, and families from diverse, multicultural backgrounds. My ideal client is struggling with identity issues, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, anxiety/depression, etc. They need a place to process and explore their thoughts and feelings and learn new skills and tools to change their thinking and behavior. Their goals include figuring out the problem, why it is occurring, and how to fix and change it together. My ideal client is motivated, insightful, and expressive. They desire to be in therapy and do the work that therapy requires.

My clinical work is integrative with the goal of helping an individual, couple, or family become more whole. My clients are diverse; I thoroughly enjoy working with the full age range, from high-energy little ones to quietly reflective older folks.

My ideal clients are receptive to change and courageous.

My goal when meeting with clients is to create a warm and safe environment where you feel comfortable exploring difficult feelings and cultivating change. Wherever you are in your pursuit of receiving support is where I meet you and begin our work together. Wherever you are is a good place to start. I want my clients to know that change is possible and that they are worthy and capable of creating a life they want to live.

When children experience challenges learning, paying attention, interacting socially, or struggling emotionally, parents often need support to better understand these challenges. Neuropsychological testing provides information about how a child is growing, identifying areas of strength and possible challenge so that parents are in a better position to support their child's development. I work collaboratively with parents to tailor an assessment to understand the nuances and unique context of each child's experience. From the assessment, recommendations are offered to develop a specific plan to address the child's particular needs.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and young adults in a range of outpatient clinical settings and K-12 school placements. My caseload includes clients of varied ages from a range of diverse backgrounds. I frequently collaborate with guardians, DCF workers, schools, doctors, and prescribers regarding client care. I also provide in-depth psychological testing reports that evaluate executive function challenges, learning disabilities, attentional challenges and emotional difficulties.
