Self Esteem Therapists in Waltham, MA

I am a licensed clinical social worker, and have been working with people who wanted to make some changes in their lives for more than 25 years. Together we've focused on the variety of challenges they were experiencing - depression, anxiety, family or work stressors, relational and communication issues. My counseling style is conversational and interactive, and incorporates a cognitive-emotional-behavioral, solution-focused, body-based approach.

I believe that the first step to helping individuals is for them to acknowledge that they need help. From there, I can support them in creating goals that they want to achieve so that they can feel confident and encouraged to face life's challenges.

Updated 08/01/2024: Limited daytime availability: My career has involved working with individuals and families across the life span, in both outpatient and hospital-based settings. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I also do comprehensive diagnostic, psychological, and educational assessments for individuals and families. Further, I routinely consult with parents and teachers to better address the needs of students, in accordance with a thorough evaluation of their individual strengths and weaknesses.

If you are struggling with a life transition or find that your anxiety and depression get in the way of you having the life that you want, I would be happy to help you work toward feeling better. Currently, my work is focusing on anxiety and depressive disorders, life transitions, stress management, health concerns, food allergy anxiety/trauma, adults, young adults, as well as college students. Please feel free to reach out. I'm happy to discuss if I am the right fit via free phone/telehealth consultation.

I enjoy working with couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, people of color, children, families, those of various cultural backgrounds, those with anxiety and depression, and those navigating life stressors or geographic moves. I like working with clients who are ready to work authentically on stated goals.

Having either been through challenges or currently existing in crisis, my clients want to stop merely surviving and instead begin thriving. They see the way things are, and they are no longer satisfied with it. My clients seek understanding, internal peace, and personal growth. They need help clarifying their goals and identifying the methods by which to achieve them. They want to live a life based on their personal values, uninhibited by mental health challenges or relational struggles.

Hello! My name is Greg Corbett and I am a LMHC in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working as a therapist on some level for the last 7 years. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the pleasure of having two separate internships; one at a rape crisis/domestic violence hotline and one at a substance use treatment center. Through these two internships, I was able to learn what it was like to be a therapist and discover that I wanted to continue to pursue my education to become a therapist myself.

We all go through challenging times and it takes a great deal of courage to face these challenges and move forward. My passion is working with adults of all ages who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, a life transition, a loss or an illness. I work with each of my clients to identify tools and strategies that they can use to address these difficulties, feel better, and lead a more fulfilling life in whatever way they hope to. I believe that each person has inner strength and resilience that they can increase, and that you are stronger than you think.

I am fully certified in two evidence based therapies1) EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and 2) IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy. In a very SAFE manner, they can be VERY effective. I emphasize the word SAFE because NOTHING is ever discussed unless YOU are comfortable discussing it. You're "the boss" as to what we cover/discuss in therapy.

Success has been defined as happiness in our professional and personal lives. Sometimes we struggle in one or both areas, hindered by feelings of disappointment, frustration, anger or sadness. Things can be different; it is possible to live a meaningful, happy life. In psychotherapy and psychoanalysis you have the opportunity to look closely at your life. The intention of this thoughtful examination is to reduce the discrepancy between the life you have and the life you want.

Sometimes life just gets in the way of remembering our true nature. I like helping people find their inner core-so they know who they are and are able to express themselves freely. Life is not always easy, but there is a ground of truth that sustains and supports us when we know who we are. Old stories often hurt and pain informs what we see and what we do. Therapy can help free us from mistaken beliefs and free us from the burdens of the past.

How do I effectuate change? I believe change occurs from a sustained active approach with the therapist. Why is there a need for change? Many people report affective states of anxiety, depression, and stress that are inhibiting them in their work, personal lives, and enjoyment of life. My education and experience put me in a unique position to give people the understanding to find satisfaction from their personal, family and work life. Therapeutic interactions are in the here and now. Understanding often leads to an improved quality of life; alleviating anxiety, depressive feelings as well as fears of being stuck.
