BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Somerville, MA
My commitment to a person-centered approach leads me to seek clients who seek a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect, collaboration, and tailored interventions. For individuals who have experienced trauma, whether through interpersonal violence or other traumatic events, my trauma-informed approach can create a safe and supportive space for clients to process and heal from their experiences.

My ideal client would seek therapy for their issues with processing trauma and acknowledging poor coping skills (such as addictions or low participation in life) used in the past to manage symptoms. They would want to use a cognitive behavioral approach to identify their cognitive distortions and negative thinking patterns and bring awareness and change to their behaviors.

Imagine feeling better. There are many routes to this. Together, we can figure out what path works for you. I am warm and can be funny if you like, but I take you very seriously and want you to feel better. Parents, children of aging parents, folks dealing with present day stress or trying to challenge old patterns, many will find that more is possible when you let a caring and skillful person hold some of your stuff with you. Together we can create a space of safety and trust where you can get in touch with vulnerable pieces of yourself that need some attention. I would be honored to share that space with you.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their patterns, thoughts, and unique stories. They may be struggling with anxiety or depression or haven't fully processed traumas and attachment issues in their lifetime. This ideal client may be detached from their emotions, have a hard time letting go, or find it difficult to experience joy. This person is motivated for change and seeks more insight about themselves.

Coming from a Lead Clinician role for a Virtual Partial Hospitalization (PHP) Program, I don't believe in an "ideal" client. In my previous role, we rarely had insight into a client's clinical presentation before their intake. I have learned to tailor my approach to each client while aiding them in learning emotional regulation techniques and interventions to sustain sobriety.

My ideal client would be someone who is ready and willing to participate in treatment. I am comfortable with an array of different diagnoses and struggles. Their needs would include working towards tangible goals that we are able to breakdown in the treatment setting. They may want to work on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms etc. They would want to minimize their symptoms and improve everyday functioning. The goal would ultimately be to no longer need treatment as they have reached their goals.

Suddenly feeling unlike yourself or realizing you don’t know who you are can be painful and confusing. Hiding parts of yourself only adds to the struggle. If you’re grappling with fear, feeling stuck, or barely holding it together, learning to manage the challenges and and mend what’s been hurting you can become an opportunity for growth and lead you on a new and unexpected path.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions, changing careers, going through grief or loss, experiencing anxiety, looking for support with trauma, developing coping skills, or just seeking support with the messiness of life. I want to work with clients who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and make a commitment to creating space for themselves to work through their current patterns that are no longer serving them. I meet the person where they are at and understand what ways they would like to make changes in their life.

Have you ever wondered about therapy but didn't know where to begin? Or maybe you've found yourself searching for a therapeutic approach that goes beyond the conventional? In my practice, I invite you to explore these questions and more. Drawing from diverse therapeutic modalities, I offer a welcoming and nurturing space where clients can delve into the depths of their inner world.

It can be challenging and scary to seek counseling and to take the first steps toward desired change. Being aware of that, Latrese is grateful and eager about the opportunity to meet people where they are and to help them get to where they want to be.
