Strength-Based Therapists in Somerville, MA

Hi! I have availability Mon-Thur and Fri 9-1 for virtual appts. Private pay, OON/superbills. Licensed in MA/RI/VT. My practice includes adults, educators, and healthcare professionals. My clients typically identify feelings of anxiety, depression, and uncertainty during life transitions. They are motivated, insightful, and seeking ways to regulate and process emotions. I provide support and guidance so that you are empowered to live a full, joyful, and authentic life. I lead with compassion, empathy, humor, and care. Creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for clients to share their story is incredibly important.

As a therapist, I know that hope is obtainable despite feelings or depression or anxiety. Imagining life with hope and happiness can be challenging, but it is possible to achieve. I utilize a strength-based approach with multiple behavioral health techniques and therapies to personalize care of couples or individuals. I help identify and achieve goals while making a connection and developing positive growth and well-being. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, couples, and families.

I am currently accepting new clients! Do you often find yourself feeling sad or anxious? Do you worry about yourself or your child? Do you wish you could be your best self? With over fifteen years of clinical experience, my style is fluid and catered to best suit the concerns and experience of my clients. I work with clients of all ages in the context of individual, couples, and family therapy. I offer a goal-oriented and strength-based approach and incorporate CBT, ACT, art/narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, solution-focused therapy, and play therapy depending on needs and preferences of each client.

I use a strength-based approach to help clients get from where they are to where they want to be in life (building self-compassion along the way). I have experience working with children and adults who struggle with ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ related challenges, assertiveness training, and low self-esteem.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I received my Masters in Social Work from Boston University. I have worked in various settings in the field as a school based counselor, in-home family therapist and outpatient mental health clinician. I work with adolescents and adults using a strength-based approach.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

I have worked in different settings within the community, working with all ages and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, Autism, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD. I have experience with doing individual work as well as family therapeutic work. I believe in collaboratively working with my clients and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. My goal is to support my clients through their journeys. If you are looking to learn more about yourself and how to better navigate through current and past issues, I am here to help.

My ideal client is somebody who embraces and trusts the process and is willing to share their experiences. Challenges can range based on the support they are seeking. Their needs can be anything from support, stabilization, resources for community-based support, and building a quality supportive network. Their goals are to increase autonomy and self-advocacy with the desire to have more good days and recover to be the best version of themselves.

Maybe you find yourself at a crossroads where you don't know what direction to go. Perhaps you lost hope and find yourself questioning your own self-worth and purpose in life. You want to be happy, but the storms in your life don't let you take a breath, and you get tired.

I believe in strength based compassionate therapy by providing a safe space to navigate vulnerable experiences. I truly believe that our own inner wisdom can get us ahead in life. My goal in the therapeutic process is for you to learn and create new pathways to achieve healing.

As a licensed mental health counselor who is bicultural and bilingual, fluent in Haitian-Creole and semi-fluent in French, I am uniquely qualified to help adolescents, adults and families from various ethic & cultural backgrounds.

Currently accepting private pay/out of network clients. I provide one on one psychotherapy based on clients’ strengths and growth points at a collaborated pace. I support clients who need support navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationships/dating, identity-related challenges, imposter syndrome work/life balance and neurodiversity. My clinical training focused on providing trauma-informed culturally conscious therapy to clients who come from many walks of life and intersecting identities, while utilizing kindness, metaphors and a bit of humor in my therapy sessions.

In my 20 years of professional experience as a clinician, I have had the privilege of working with individuals (children, adolescence, adult and families) who experience a wide variety of psychological distress.

I invite couples, adolescents and adults to identify strengths, acknowledge challenges and develop strategies to solve a range of problems. We can explore ways to save and enhance your relationship. In the first session, I teach tools that you can use immediately to enhance your partnership, open the lines of communication and reconnect as a couple. If you are an overwhelmed parent, I can help you reach out to your teen by employing techniques that can be used in the moment. My professional experience encompasses coping with anxiety, managing chronic illness, grieving losses and achieving balance for an enriched life.

I look forward to understanding your goals and values and offering the best scientific and humanistic practice to help you reach your desired outcomes. I have helped children, adolescents, transition-age youth and adults address traumatic experiences, loss, anxiety, depression, adjustment to psychiatric disability, and other stressful life transitions.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, expressive arts therapist, and certified yoga instructor based out of Cambridge, MA. I believe in collaboratively and consensually building working relationships with clients to make space for untangling, reclaiming, transforming, and navigating the instability of life. I aim to create inclusive spaces, especially for those with intersectional identities, and value culturally competent and trauma-informed practice. I work with children and adults to reclaim their innate resilience through an integrated approach of both feeling AND dealing.

I work with men who are feeling "off their game" and want to fulfill their personal and professional potential. Stuck in unhealthy habits? Repeating self-destructive patterns? Are you undermining your health and happiness? I give you accountability and support to make a change in how you take care of yourself. Stop beating yourself up. Start getting control of what really matters.
