Family Therapy in Northampton, MA

I have a passion for helping people who are in a time in their lives when extra support, guidance and help could really improve their lives. My goal is to work with the person, who attends counseling with me, to help make their lives better in any way that I can. I have experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, coping skill development, eating disorders, self esteem, family conflict, addiction & anger management problems. I work one on one, with couples and with families. I primarily work with adults over the age of 21.

Hello and thanks for your interest in my services. I help people to reconnect with the life they would like to live. With the tools of mindfulness and cognitive therapy we work on gaining freedom from intrusive emotions and beliefs that don't serve them. Through getting in touch with their emotions and releasing them, they can find a fresh creative energy within. Most of my clients seek help with anxiety, excessive worries, depression, trauma, addiction or just a difficult relationship situation. I enjoy connecting with my clients and emphasize the power of a strong therapeutic relationship.

I am currently accepting new clients! The most significant factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship itself. With this in mind, I adopt a warm and collaborative approach with each client. I enjoy working with a wide variety of issues, including treating mood disorders such as depression and anxiety; addressing relationship challenges and life transitions; supporting recovery from substance abuse; exploring issues of racial and cultural identity; and enhancing skills for management of trauma history.

Through our work together, I want all of my clients to know two things; one is that they have value that cannot be taken away by anything or anyone and the other is that they do not have to struggle with mental health issues alone. Therapy is the place where you can be authentic and honest about struggles and can feel validated and heard rather than judged or dismissed.

While offering support and guidance, I take time to build a safe place where you can gain understanding and develop skills to improve your life.

I am an experienced family therapist who has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings. I see self-pay clients and Blue Cross Blue Shield. I am often the first person to see a young child when emotional and behavioral difficulties emerge in pre-school or Kindergarten. I can help figure out what's going on diagnostically and we can develop a treatment plan together. I have successfully helped children and adults with ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders like Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

"Your present circumstances do not determine where you go, they merely determine where you start." Feelings of loss, shame, sadness and anxiety often keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. I have a general practice focusing on the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and impulse control disorders. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and other coping strategies I guide clients forward, to health, wellness, safety and acceptance.

Now Accepting New Clients As the owner of Center for Perinatal Wellness, I believe when a mother struggles, the whole family does also. I specialize in perinatal mood complications, such as Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. A new child changes so much about how a family functions and sometimes families need some help navigating those waters and I am happy to help you do just that. We use CBT, DBT, EMDR in the therapeutic approach, but never encourage a path that a client isn't comfortable with.

Imagine sharing your most private thoughts and feelings, safely, and without risk, so that you get to know yourself more deeply. Neuroscience teaches us how emotions affect our behavior, how they are stored in the body, and how negative emotions can be healed. In my work, I utilize techniques that focus on the relationship and the feedback mechanisms between the mind and the body in order to promote deeper and more complete healing. I also help couples and families recognize patterns of behavior that contribute to misunderstanding, tension and conflict. My intention is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, welcoming and warm.

I offer Somatic Parts Work and Buddhist Counseling. Recent clients have shared: "You created space for me to be with myself in a way I had not felt accessible before. Thank you for giving me the greatest gifts someone can - compassion and freedom". Our sessions focus on slowing things down, so you can cultivate a loving relationship with your body and mind, and with nature as guide and healer. Listening to your body and sensing the parts of yourself that may be in conflict is at the core of our time together. I trust that your body and heart know what is best for you. I am here to help you listen in safely, and navigate the world.

In sessions, I work to create a space for clients that allows for exploration and discovery of themselves and their internal/external worlds. By approaching the journey of healing and transformation through deep listening and curiosity, I help bring about clarity without shame or judgment where there are blocks or stuckness. I work with adults, college students and children. When working with children, I lean into play and art/expressive therapies that help the child access their emotional worlds.

I focus on helping you become more fully who you are or want to be. Over our lifetime we learn behaviors and beliefs that were rewarded or were necessary for acceptance at home, work, school or anyplace we interacted with others. We may carry these (mostly unconscious) beliefs and behaviors with us even though they may be unhelpful and/or destructive. They may show up in intimate relationships, friendships, work or other places that impact our quality of life. Working together we identify counterproductive beliefs and behaviors and replace them with beliefs and behaviors that support the adult you want to be.

Currently, I am accepting new patients! I welcome college students returning home seeking therapy. I also welcome adults wanting cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety, OCD, or eating disorders. I I am a clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience providing psychological services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My areas of specialty include working with teenagers and children with anxiety, OCD, eating disorders. More recently, I have expanded my treatment services to provide therapy for adults with anxiety disorders and eating disorders.

So much of life--its changes, its challenges, its day-to-day stressors--can feel overwhelming at times. This overwhelm can create feelings of stuckness, aloneness, or hopelessness that inhibit us from living the lives we wish to live. The wonderful news is these are not permanent conditions. I believe deeply in the healing potential of therapy to free us from emotional overwhelm, reconnect us with our inherent power and inner peace, and grow us in profoundly energizing ways.

There are a multitude of approaches we are able to take in therapy together, whether that is dealing with the stressors of the present or processing difficult or traumatic events from the past. You are the expert on your own story! We can work to develop better insight and self-compassion, set boundaries, and develop healthier relationships that are more in line with your individual goals. I prioritize a safe & affirming space for LGBTQAI+ individuals and folks of Trans experience seeking care.

I work with adults, children, teens, their families and caregivers. I have a warm, attuned approach that supports each person's intuitive ability to heal. In my work with adults, Internal Family Systems-IFS is offered to work with a variety of challenges. Children go through challenging times, divorce, loss, adjustment to traumatic events. Treatment explores movement, art and expressive play focusing on emotion regulation.For young children, therapeutically supported expressive play therapy provides safety that helps children communicate their needs, feelings, modify behavior, and increase problem solving skills.

Hi! I'm Abolee, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy. I believe that we all make meaning of our lives through telling stories about who we are and how the world perceives us. Sometimes our stories paint pictures that connect us with happiness and excitement, but other times our stories are taken over by problems in our lives, such as fear, anxiety or depression. Oftentimes these problems gain power through the support of restrictive cultural discourses and societal norms. Through Narrative Therapy, I strive to help my clients deconstruct these discourses to reclaim their stories and empower them to lead the lives they envision.
