Therapists in Medford, MA

I love what I do after 29 years and have worked in a wide range of settings, with a range of people working on a wide range of issues. I enjoy building rapport with new clients and believe it's essential to put all clients at ease by being attentive, warm and validating. I meet you where you are. After 2 - 3 visits determine if we are a match; I've met too many clients who've continued with providers they didn't find helpful. I want you to find who you need. Lastly, I am not a 'nodder', I provide verbal support, and feedback so you know you are not alone as your share your story, struggles and strengths. You deserve great care.

Searching for therapy can be a difficult process, congrats on taking the first step! I enjoy supporting others in tackling those social and emotional struggles that get in the way of everyday living: from building skills related to social awareness, to managing challenging behaviors, and utilizing effective coping skills. We all need some practice identifying some tools that can help us when strong feelings show up! Right now I am offering sessions through teleheath.

Hi there, I’m Rebecca, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy. I view Narrative Therapy as a creative, engaging way to explore the meaning we make of events in our lives and to understand our preferred stories. I graduated with a BS in Psychology and a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Northeastern University in 2021. My education continued shortly after, and I went on to obtain my Master of Social Work from Boston College with a Trauma certificate in 2024. Before joining Mountain View Therapy, I practiced as a clinical research assistant, in DEI, as a case manager, and as an outpatient therapist in Cambridge.

Oftentimes we face challenges that block us from leading a satisfying life or even reach our greatest potential. These roadblocks can be difficult to understand and even harder to work through them ourselves. My passion is to provide individuals with a compassionate emotional space where feelings, thoughts and ideas can be safely expressed, giving way to a deeper understanding and clarity of the self.

Therapy can be a space to gain insight and to learn new ways of coping with challenges and interacting in the world. My goal is to help you improve your overall quality of life and get out of old patterns that aren't serving you any more.

I have worked as a clinician in mental health for over 25 years.

My practice is located in the center of Medford and is easily accessible by public transportation. The staff in the office are all welcoming and there is a play space for children.

You want a fulfilling life. And I want that for you! Do any of these OCD or anxiety symptoms sound familiar? Repetitive thoughts, ritualized habits, or phobias. Feeling like you're going to explode if something is out of place. You haven't contacted a friend in so long that you're embarrassed, so you're afraid to call/text. Nervous you'll do something out of character, inappropriate, or accidentally insulting to others. I can help you navigate the discomfort of worry, panic, rumination, and avoidance, while moving toward balance and emotional freedom. Less anxiety, more YOU!

Hi I'm Henry, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy. Long before I began to work as a therapist, I have believed that narrative has a unique power to help us define both our experience and identity. I graduated with a degree in film and medieval history from Marlboro College, then worked in production and as an actor on independent films, before moving to digital marketing. Eventually I turned to social work. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Boston University in 2022. Before joining Mountain View Therapy, I helped veterans struggling with homelessness, addiction and post-traumatic stress in the Somerville area.

Do you feel overwhelmed with your career or personal life? Are you struggling to maintain your relationships, health, or obligations? Are you looking for a change in your life, but not sure where to begin? I empower clients to manage anxiety and work through career, relationship, and life transitions or concerns. Together, we work to identify what's holding you back and get you back to a better place.

While we may not always have control over all aspects of our lives, we have control over how we choose to react, how we make meaning of our situation, and most importantly how we grow from the challenges presented to us. I work with adults throughout the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, in an individual and group therapy setting. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, life transitions, and navigating relationships. I love working with clients who recognize the need for change in their lives and are motivated to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others.

We might be a good fit if; A) you pride yourself on being self reliant, usually manage many areas of your life well, but are stuck in your symptoms. For some reason you can't seem to move the needle on your own. You are frustrated, tired, and confused. You are seeking clarity and you are willing to accept help. B) you are someone who hasn't found the right fit for therapy. You want a therapist to be caring but also direct with you about their observations. You are sick of spinning your wheels and you are serious about recovering. You know there is more to life than you are experiencing and you are done selling yourself short.

Hi, I'm Hannah, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy! I enjoy working with emerging adults, partners, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am passionate about providing affirming and curious spaces for exploration of identity and moments of transition for individuals and partners.

My ideal client is someone who is experiencing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. Ideal clients experiencing these challenges will want to grow, utilize self-reflection, and find ways to cope with personal challenges. Goals could include establishing and maintaining relationships, practicing coping skills, changing behaviors, healing from trauma, and building positive habits. By incorporating CBT and DBT techniques, I will help you develop healthier thought patterns, establish and maintain healthy relationships with yourself and others, and develop skills to manage and tolerate stress.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with substance use, whether they are just beginning to question their use and habits or they have experienced chronic relapse and feel hopeless. I believe part of that process is ensuring they are informed of options available and helping them discover their “why.” I have experience supporting people in identifying their strengths, finding coping skills, and creating measurable, attainable goals. I am skilled at navigating treatment systems/levels of care in Massachusetts. I have experience with medical detoxification protocols and can discuss options for medication-supported treatment.

My ideal client is a young adult who is working on getting their life together. They are having a difficult time controlling their emotions and suffers with anxiety. Their goals are to get and keep a job, work on a career, and be more responsible. They are realizing that it is time to get it together. They are interested in learning coping skills and working on past traumatic events that they believe to be in the way of learning new ways. I will work with my clients to unfold what is brought into the room and set the pace that feels most supportive to them—together, creating a safe and supportive space as we address needs and goals.

I love working with people who have come to therapy because they really want to change something about their lives that isn't working. Being in therapy takes a certain amount of courage, and those who show up openly to the experience and bravely start working are satisfying to work with. I'm also interested in those who can commit to having a real relationship in therapy. Based on my own personal and clinical experience, the development of a warm, empathic, safe relationship is key to therapeutic success.

My ideal client is someone who is hoping to gain knowledge, skills, and tools to help them handle difficult thoughts and feelings. This person might have a goal of changing their behavior or managing emotional responses. The ideal client would like to work on their goals by discussing their environment, outside factors, and their own abilities to cope and manage. They are open to new strategies and tools and are honest and open with the clinician.
