Video Game Addiction Therapists in Medford, MA

I focus on working with young male clients (ages 9-25), using a blend of coaching and therapy, focusing on emotional intelligence, leadership skills, confidence, healthy relationships, academic achievement, and athletic performance. The problems I most often see clients experiencing are low self-esteem/confidence, anger management, high stress levels, anxiety, depression (including bipolar), and video game addiction.

Hi there! I’m a psychologist at MGH and instructor at Harvard Medical School. I have expertise in a wide variety of treatment approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, the Unified Protocol, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and existential approaches. These evidence based approaches can be used to provide top quality care for you. Further, I’ve worked in a wide variety of treatment settings and have provided services for clients of many different backgrounds, ages, and diagnoses/various life difficulties.

People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My passion is to help people find this light, to help heal from their past trauma and move forward. I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.

Feeling depressed, anxious, and unable to concentrate. Perhaps your life isn't going in the direction you had hoped it would. Life can get difficult at times and counseling can truly make all the difference. I have over 15 years of counseling experience and draw upon solution focused treatment to help you start living the life you love. I invite you to call for an initial free phone consult. I work with children, adults, couples and families.

My practice focuses supporting people in clarifying their values and in living lives that realize their deepest values. I believe that there are many ways to be mentally healthy, and I pursue a pluralistic view of mental health, one which varies from person to person. I aim to be a patient and supportive companion for you to determine what is important to you and to make meaningful change.

Accepting NEW clients! It’s exhausting trying to hold it all together. You’re overthinking, overwhelmed, and just so over it. Being constantly on edge has worn you down. You’ve tried to cope by using distractions or putting things off. It seems to help for a while, but you’re needing to finally get the anxiety under control. Or, everything takes double the effort it used to, so some days you would rather stay in bed. There’s also this heaviness that you can’t shake. Life isn’t that enjoyable because you’re feeling so numb or down. Lately you’ve been feeling worse. You feel like a failure, no matter what you do (or not do).

The pain we feel is individual. Each may live with unfortunate experiences, face stressful situations, or suffer conflicts with partners and within themselves. If we ignore them, we may find ourselves unable to reach the goals we pursue and, instead, only feel dissatisfied, bitter, or stuck. Our work together will uncover and conquer the obstacles so that the pleasure can be felt and the goal that has been longed for can be fulfilled.

My work is about guiding you in a journey so you can (re)discover what it is you most care about and want to stand for in life. We'll explore helpful and unhelpful patterns in your life made up by emotions, thoughts, behaviors, urges, histories, the contexts in which they occur, and how they are related to others in your life. Based on what you deeply care about and the existing challenges, we develop a plan of action highlighting processes and skills that help you live the life you want and free yourself from suffering. for more, go to NECOANY.org or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D4ipnpeRa5XBivyTJt1eBMSdPzVA46ql/view?usp=sharing

NOW Accepting New Clients: There is no way to adequately describe the experience of living with depression and anxiety. For the roughly 14% of Americans who suffer from these conditions, everyday activities, such as going to work, speaking in class, even meeting friends for dinner, can become agonizing challenges accompanied by a host of negative physical and emotional symptoms. Perhaps you've noticed your face burning when you speak in public; have felt like an impostor at work and wait to be "found out," or maybe you've experienced a surge of panic (racing-heart, trouble breathing, dizziness, nausea) when you least expected it?

*** Now offering virtual sessions to new patients*** Do you have concerns about your substance use? Are you worried about a loved one with an addiction problem? Are you in recovery & looking to make changes in your life? Are you looking to make changes regarding your relationship with substances? Many of my clients are parents, siblings, spouses or concerned significant others (friends, coworkers, etc) with a primary concern about someone else's well-being. Other clients I see are looking for a therapist who will meet them where they are in trying to change their substance use or assist them in their individual recovery process.

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 likely someone seeking therapy across the lifespan, dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma. I specialize in working with athletes, especially collegiate athletes, and those facing high-stress transitions in their athletic careers, given my personal and professional background in the field. My collaborative and adaptable therapeutic approach caters to individuals seeking support and growth in various life circumstances.
