Female Therapists in Mashpee, MA

About Louisa Gould, LICSW: People seem to find me when they are supposed to in life. Clients who come to see me, often feel as though they need support with something in life. Mainly I find that most of us experience some sort of interruption in our lives. These interruptions can be addictions, losses, toxic relationships, difficult decisions, traumatic situations or can take many other shapes and forms throughout life. It is my belief that it is through these interruptions, that people often seek counseling and support. No one should have to travel through life alone.

I believe that if you are seeking help now, then you have made the first step onto the road of recovery. The process of change can be very different for everyone, and I tailor my approach to wherever you are in your journey. My approach is goal directed, yet patient and empathic. I strive to help those motivated for change begin to find their true path in life. I also identify a more holistic/integrative approach to therapy, by looking at how mental health impacts the whole person (mind, body, soul).

Are you struggling with confidence and feeling like life isn’t what it used to be? Stuck in a pattern of behavior that is causing you anxiety, sadness or depression?

I counsel my clients through various life transitions, grief & loss, relationship struggles, career challenges, medical issues, family conflicts, depression, anxiety and other psychological/social/emotional difficulties. I promote overall well-being and personal growth with a holistic approach. I ensure that our sessions are centered around client goals and I approach therapy with a focus on strengths, and work together towards achieving positive outcomes. I am experienced in counseling diverse populations and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely express themselves.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I enjoy helping my clients develop coping skills, improve overall well-being, and resolve personal challenges using evidence based and client centered treatment methods.

If you are feeling stuck in behaviors or attitudes that limit your ability to live a fuller life or impact your relationships, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) can help you achieve the changes you desire. IFS is the framework I use to help individuals and couples move from where they are stuck into a more desirable way of relating and being internally, with their partner, family and in the world. In my 30 + years of practice I have found that IFS is the most gentle yet profound way to guide people in this transformation. IFS is a radically different way of understanding what happens inside of ourselves.

All people are innately good & have the ability to heal themselves. Stressors are ever present in our everyday lives & are manifested in multiple ways. While these stressors can be the genesis of our problems, they are also the catalyst to starting the healing process. With a focus on life transitions, relationship distresses, traumatic experiences & other psychological concerns, we will in our collaborative work improve resiliency, empower, & restore. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, & a sense of humor with a down-to-earth approach to counseling in treating the whole person.

My goal is to help you see yourself more clearly by helping you quiet the chatter in your mind, slow down and listen to that small voice inside that knows everything you need to know to have the life you want. Using traditional talking therapy, and combinations of meditation, art, writing and role playing, many people are able to carve out that route to the heart of the matter hidden inside. It's a wonderful journey and I'd love to go there with you.

Life can be hard but with the right support, nothing is impossible. At different times in life we all become terrified, triggered, overwhelmed, or just realize things are not working. These times of crisis provide opportunities to look at things differently and make new, more grounded choices. I love this work and am comfortable with anything that might come up.

Life is full of change. Whether the change is expected or not, we can feel lost, overwhelmed, a sense of hopelessness, or fear from the transition. You do not have to navigate these emotions alone. Therapy can be a safe space to explore your thoughts and to work through situations that may be holding you back, or causing negative experiences.
