My name is Kasheida Hector. I am an independently licensed therapist in both MA and RI. I love nature, family time, animals, and learning about different cultures on vacation. When thinking of healing, growing and/or changing, I believe in the importance of education, community and spirituality.

I begin the journey with new clients by asking, "What events in your life have led you to seek therapy now?" A frequent answer is, "I'm looking for someone to listen to me without passing judgment." We all need a secure environment to express ourselves, be listened to, and feel our emotions are acknowledged. The therapeutic setting provides this haven. Embarking on therapy with me will offer the guidance and framework necessary for clearer thinking, enabling you to establish and reach your personal goals.

People deserve the opportunity to heal, to feel well, and to discover themselves. There are times in our lives that we may feel lost, confused, or even different. Getting in touch with yourself, your true essence, is many times what is truly calling us. A sacred, safe space can support a person's journey towards happiness, health, and feeling a sense of purpose in the world. My own journey allows me to do this for others. I am inspired by the human spirit & honored to work with people who come for my services! "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." - Marcus Aurelius.

Therapy is something I truly believe everyone can benefit from throughout various points in their lives. It takes courage to reflect on the need for support and to reach out for help. Sometimes this can be the hardest step. Finding the right therapist and connection is important. A strong, trusting relationship is needed to use the therapy space to its fullest potential.
