I offer telehealth clinical mental health counseling to adult Massachusetts residents. My counseling style is holistic and we will consider all aspects of you - your health, happiness, and sense of fulfillment. Treatment is LGBTQIA+, kink, and nonmonogamy affirming and sex positive. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. We all have experienced suffering of one kind or another throughout our lives, but it can feel very challenging to talk about your hardship with others. I would be honored to walk your path with you and collaborate on ways that we can reduce suffering and increase wellness in your life.

Hi I'm Jill, a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Massachusetts with 20 years experience. Something I've heard over the years is how hard it is to pick a therapist from a very long list of skilled clinicians that typically sound similar. How can you really know? I can assure you- working with me will be a collaboration because I believe in building a solid rapport first. I thrive on watching people make better decisions.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be introspective and patient with themselves during the therapy process. It's important to "fix" the issue rather than put a Bandaid on the problem. I find that learning to dig deeper to get the root cause often yields the best results. My hope is that my clients feel comfortable being vulnerable with me. I want my clients to learn to trust themselves through the therapy process and feel like when they are ready to leave therapy, they have the tools they need to navigate their challenges with confidence.

Hi- I'm Victoria Kellman. Maybe typical, office based therapy just didn't work for you. Maybe you feel more comfortable with animals. Maybe it's easier to talk about hard things when you're outside and moving your body. Maybe you're a "horse girl" struggling with the dynamics of the horse world. I welcome all people, from all walks of life. I welcome all diagnoses and life challenges including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders. My ideal client is the "difficult" teen or young adult, who's struggling to understand life.

Starting therapy can be the first step in making meaningful change in your life. You may be seeking therapy to explore a problem, change a pattern, recover from depression or anxiety, or improve relationships with others. Perhaps you are struggling with food or body image. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, coming out, and/or navigating gender identity, therapy should be a space where you feel seen and understood. Whatever your situation, it is possible to gain insight, solve problems, feel better, and be the best version of you.

If you are an adult (18+) looking for help with a substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, co-occurring disorders, LGBTQ+ or women's issues, or navigating life transitions, please contact me via phone or email.
I believe the single-most effective tool in therapy is the therapeutic relationship and connection. In a good therapeutic relationship, both people change. This connection serves as the anchor for greater personal insight, meaningful and purposeful change, and new discoveries. Change can also be daunting, but through a supportive and collaborative connection, we often find new voice, perspective, and courage. I believe the therapeutic process can and should include humor, joy, safety, and a sense of purpose.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
