BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Newburyport, MA

We all have a life to live, an unfolding story to tell, and crossroads to navigate. At times our journey follows a winding path that calls for realignment with purpose. Therapy can assist us in righting our path and bridging healthy connectedness to ourselves and to others, wherever we are in our personal or professional lives. Taking time with intention to devote to self healing is transformational. Leaving behind old patterns of thoughts and behaviors frees us to experience positive and new growth.

Whether you are coping with a transition, having challenges in a relationship, experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, grieving the loss of a loved one, or facing another obstacle to your well-being, the work we do together in therapy can restore you to a place of peace and balance. My role as a therapist is to serve as your ally: to be present with you in your expression of feelings; to serve as a witness to your experience, a companion in discovery and release of what no longer serves you, and a mirror, reflecting the wisdom that lies within you.

I use an eclectic mix of modalities and interventions. My clients find me to be warm, compassionate and caring. A few things set me apart, I provide my clients with tools, give homework and tell it like it is. I specializes in helping people get unstuck; from a behavior or way of thinking. I work well with people who are stuck in depression, anxiety or recovering from trauma, healing from divorce ( adults and children), and those who want to change the dynamic of an unhealthy relationship.

When human beings experience trauma or loss, it is not uncommon for their world to unravel. As a bereaved parent I understand how intense the journey can be. Let me help you adjust to life after a loss by working through the feelings, thoughts and memories associated with your loved one.

I am an individual, couple and group psychotherapist with over thirty years of experience. I work well with individuals experiencing distress related to anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, interpersonal difficulties and the impact of health issues on mental health. My goal is to establish a warm, collaborative and safe therapeutic relationship within which clients can address their distress and develop an understanding of the roots of this distress. My focus is to help individuals and couples build on their strengths and address their vulnerabilities to achieve their personal and professional goals while developing a sense of peace and enjoyment in their lives.

I provide both traditional and equine psychotherapy on a small farm in Kensington NH. My farm provides a peaceful non traditional setting. With the Equine facilitated treatment, I co-facilitate sessions with my two horses and two donkeys and a therapy dog. I treat individuals, couples, families and groups . I am a warm and compassionate person who tailors your treatment to your needs and goals. It is my belief most of my clients are unrecognized heroes and I am honored and grateful to be a part of their journeys of healing, growth and change.

I especially love helping teens/ young adults (and their parents) with developing their independence. I'm excited to help individuals and families enjoy their lives more either by improving relationships, better managing their stage of life tasks, and also while dealing with difficult problems including Relationship/ Marital issues, Family Conflicts, Affairs, Sex addiction, Co-parenting, "Growing Up" issues, Adjusting to Divorce, Gay & Lesbian & Gender (Transgender) issues, Substance Abuse, Grief, Violence and Anger Management including Probation & Diversion involvement.

People come to me looking for a better life experience. I believe that we all have inside of us the knowledge we need to meet all our needs, but sometimes accessing that knowledge can be a challenge. Often we repeat self defeating behaviors we have learned that once helped us cope with fears and anxiety, but are no longer working. I have helped many people identify behaviors and beliefs that stand between them and their dreams. Once you have learned to move past them, we will design and execute a vision that fulfills your spirit.

At Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center and Landmark School, I developed specialties in eating disorders, trauma and illness exacerbated by stress, and learning disabilities.

Hi! Thank you for reviewing my profile. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who provides psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults. I have 25+ years of experience working with people facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, identity issues, grief/bereavement, LGBTQ issues, parenting issues and combinations thereof. I see people as competent, resilient and strong; they may just need some space and skills to tap their potential. I would welcome a call to see if I may be a good fit for you.

I provide a wide array of services for married and unmarried, heterosexual and same-sex partners at all stages of the coupling process. I'm passionate about helping individuals and couples to develop necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their highest potential for joy, growth, and problem-solving.

Are you feeling discouraged? Stressed out all the time? Dreading the day ahead before it begins? You know something has to change, but change is difficult. I help people discover what is standing in their way of getting what they want out of life.

I believe that in order to achieve a sense of overall well-being and balance, both our mind and body must be healthy and supported. Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, illness and eating disorders are all things that can be a part of the human condition. Any of these disorders can become uncomfortable and overwhelming, making it difficult or impossible to achieve balance in the mind and body. I am here to help you.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my Psychology Today listing. As an empathetic licensed mental health clinician, I believe that trust and acceptance are the corner stones in creating a therapeutic, non-judgmental environment which fosters client self-discovery and awareness, promotes self-empowerment towards personal growth and healing from your own lived experience. Here you can feel safe and supported to begin your journey towards real change.

I believe that we all possess inner strengths and skills that can help us overcome challenges to live a more fulfilled and purposeful life. However, accessing this ability can sometimes be overwhelming that may require guidance and support.

Starting is often the hardest part. We all want to have someone listen to us; someone to understand where we have been, where we want to go & help us find a way to get there. No judgement here, just honest conversation to help you help yourself. Sometimes life takes alternate paths & we could all use a little GPS from time to time. I'm a firm believer that people need people and that we are all in this life together. Let's explore ways to get you to, or back to, the version of yourself that you want to be. Something or someone has driven you to Psychology Today. You don't have to continue feeling this way.

What I enjoy most about my work is the variety of people I am able to meet and help to achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be. Whether you are digesting a new chapter in your life, getting to know yourself again, or anything in between, it can be so hard to ask for and accept help. I aim to cultivate a space where you feel heard, understood, and validated. If you are ready to do the work, I am here to help. Outside of therapeutic counseling, I also offer clinical supervision to other social workers in the field.
