Therapists in Tewksbury, MA

Thank you for your interest. I am currently accepting new clients and offer 20 years experience successfully treating anxiety, irritability, worry, depressed mood, anger, and addiction. I offer non-judgmental, confidential and compassionate care. I practice positive, strength-based solution-focused therapy. I am dually-licensed in the Commonwealth of MA as a Mental Health Clinician and an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. Please feel free to contact me for a no obligation initial phone consultation. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Practice limited to adults 25 yrs. or older. I offer telehealth sessions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to address concerns with relationships, identity, intimacy and sexuality, and spirituality, in addition to general psychological problems. My approach to therapy is active, relational, and result-oriented, encouraging clients take hold of their life and find the meaning that life holds for them. I have served as an instructor at Harvard Medical School and Psychologist at the Cambridge Health Alliance for more than 25 years. And have been serving on the Advisory Board of the Dr. Phil Show, since its inception. (See drchirban.com and swampscottpsychologicalassociates.com)

Are you feeling overwhelmed and at times sense of guilt? At times life can be challenging - full of joys, sorrows and everything in between. Sometimes, the challenges seem too daunting or affect more than one area of life - relationships, career, physical and emotional health. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a holistic approach to therapy I assist individuals and couples to do just that. Anxiety, depression, chronic physical/emotional conditions, stress management, work/life balance, marital stressors, communication, finances, are areas to be explored.

My ideal client is anyone who wants to feel and function better and is willing to engage in therapeutic conversations about their life and experiences. Clients who work well with me are ready to reject shame. They describe feeling trapped or powerless, with a constant, withering, internal buzz-saw of self-criticism. They sometimes don't fit categories or want to. They get angry sometimes and aren't always nice. They're stronger than they know. All they need to do is talk. And therapy works.

I work to help improve the quality of life for anyone experiencing obstacles that are limiting their potential to achieve the most happiness and peace within themselves. I utilize a variety of therapuetic modes that best fit a person's needs. I have worked with all populations, am trained in and have taught the importance of multiculturalism. It's important to understand one's culture to offer the appropriate help. I meet the person where they're at and help to carry them forward. My philosophy is what most consider problems, I see as challenges, opportunities to learn and grow.

I see patients searching for meaning and fulfillment in their lives, or wrestling with existential issues of loneliness, a sense of loss or mild to profound disconnection. Sometimes this coincides with anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulty relating to others, or a lack of comfort living in their own body.

**I am licensed to provide therapy in RI & MA** I don't believe that therapy has to look or feel like therapy as it is often represented. Together we can approach life's challenges in an intentional, action oriented, person centered and thoughtful way, in order to help break and change the patterns that have too often rendered you "stuck." To assist in making these changes, I provide the direct and honest guidance and feedback that is absolutely necessary to any successful therapy, while fostering an environment where you feel able to take the risks to grow, adjust, and adapt. My guiding principle is that change is always possible.

At Soul Sprout Mindful Care, we are dedicated to helping you and your family achieve Mental Health. We believe that Mental Health is just as important as physical health, and we treat it as such. We are committed to providing therapeutic services including individual outpatient therapy, family outpatient therapy, and couples outpatient therapy. A therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan, with interventions tailored specifically to your needs. We believe that you should be heard, and we take supporting you very seriously.

I'm accepting clients on a limited basis at this time. If you believe that I might be the right fit for you or your loved one, please do not hesitate to inquire within. I will do my best to accommodate. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clients. My clients seek to have a therapeutic experience that is transformative & empowering. I respect my client's right to self-determination and this is always reflected within my therapeutic approach during our sessions. My clients thrive when they feel safe, respected and always walk out of my office feeling confident that what we speak about will remain private.

Hello, I am Holly Soares, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (in Massachusetts). I enjoy working with individuals (couples/individuals/families, couples), as well as across the lifespan (0-hospice care).

Psychotherapy is a deeply transformative and personal process. As such, how I work with clients is dependent on their needs, personality, and level of functioning. Although I incorporate a variety of approaches into therapy, I primarily draw from the relational psychodynamic model. This orientation assumes that in order for a person to experience emotional health, she or he must maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships with those around them, and that emotional distress often is the result of negative, past relational experiences.

I have 31 years working experience in behavioral healthcare and K-12 education. I am dually licensed both as a mental health counselor and a school adjustment counselor. I have held positions as a director overseeing adolescent residential treatment programs and a therapeutic day school, agency clinical director, substance abuse specialist, clinical program manager in adult addiction and recovery, school therapist, and various direct care service provider roles in the public school systems and behavioral healthcare space.

Everyone will eventually come upon an issue that they are struggling to process. Whether it is addiction, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma or recently being diagnosed with a serious illness, we all sometimes need the help of a professional to navigate personal challenges in life. Often we are hoping to facilitate change in our journey and are unsure on where to begin. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and a certified alcohol and drug counselor. I specialize in helping those whose primary goal is to overcome life obstacles, recover from mental health issues, dual diagnosis and have the willingness to do so.

My ideal clients are interested in improving their self awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I treat any of the following issues: depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, relationship issues, sexual behaviors, trauma, domestic violence, low self-esteem, eating disorders, attention deficit difficulties, autism, schizophrenia, stress management, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, child behavior and attitude problems, school behavior, low motivation, weight loss, quitting smoking, grief and loss of a loved one, divorce, parenting issues, co-dependency, pain management, social skills development, bi-polar disorder, abusive family situations, work problems, shame/inappropriate guilt, and negative thinking but treat many more issues.

<- New sessions available mornings & evenings - New couples welcome -> Are you living with challenging routines like having the same fight over and over or the same negative thoughts about yourself each morning? Often, these painful patterns actually came out of an initial attempt to help care for yourself. My goal is to support you to explore how these patterns influence your life today and then to continue the ones that serve you and to change the ones that don’t. I support you to build new boundaries, to quiet shame and to invent new narratives of possibility to achieve the growth you're looking for.

My belief is that all phases of life come with unique obstacles and opportunities for the development of deeper insight into what makes life meaningful to us. I find what often interferes with that meaning making process are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior, ways of connecting, and beliefs about who we are meant to be. These patterns in turn create seemingly unresolvable tensions in how we relate to others, the world, and our self. My hope is that in the work I do with my clients, we can create a safe, supportive, and challenging environment to explore where these patterns come from and how they continue to show up.

***Accepting new clients but no appointments after 3pm or on Saturdays available*** Life's level of crazy just keeps climbing. Even breathing seems difficult right now. Anxiety, worry, stress, fear. So many unknowns and so much uncertainty. Will you homeschool your children or do hybrid learning? Will you work from home, hire a sitter, or will you have to resign? Covid is taking a toll on your marriage, the house is getting smaller every day. Everyone seems to be adapting to this "new normal", except you. I'm here to remind you that fear is contagious, but so is HOPE.
