Therapists for Teens in Wellesley, MA

Are you experiencing a personal problem that feels insurmountable, has derailed you from your path, or has become so distracting that you can't ignore it any longer? Do you have ongoing health concerns, relationship conflict, recent loss, family stress or mental health issues? I can help you identify challenges, increase personal initiative, try new things, build confidence, make constructive decisions, utilize available services, manage problems proactively, and develop success strategies. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who need a higher level of support and resources to cope, change, and thrive.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have often had unsuccessful prior treatment experiences. They feel that my knowledge and holistic approach to treatment will provide them with a healthier pathway forward in their life. Although I have a depth of experience to share with my patients I value learning from them on a daily basis. To facilitate change I employ a range of focused DBT and CBT strategies that I also teach to younger clinicians who train with my practice. I have maintained a professional home for 30 years at Harvard Medical School where I serve as a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry.

I am a certified EMDR psychotherapist. I offer safety & empathy without judgement in a calm relaxed environment where it's safe to be you. Sometimes your thoughts are your biggest challenge. Anxiety, depression, negative thinking, feeling stuck or confused, trouble finding motivation, these and other feelings can be managed, even overcome. Let's work together and collaboratively help you to feel better. With support you can tackle issues and create change. We find and focus on your strengths to unearth the answers. We tailor therapy so it challenges you and your comfort level at a pace that fosters progress in a safe environment.

I help adolescents, college students, adults and couples who are stuck in unsatisfying patterns of thinking and behavior create lasting change to grow and fulfill their full potential. I am a licensed clinical social worker, a psychoanalyst, a faculty member of the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis, and a former supervisor at Children's Hospital Boston and the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy. I have a flexible approach to psychotherapy and include both an appreciation for how past experiences shape the present while also incorporating coping strategies to manage and change every day life in the short-term.

For the past 10+ years I have been in private practice serving kids, adolescents, and adults. I provide neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment and consultation as well as individual and group therapy using a strengths-based approach. Much of my practice focuses on helping Middle School and High School students who are struggling with learning, social, and emotional adjustment through collaboratively identifying the obstacles and challenges they may be facing and helping them to recognize and embrace their qualities and strengths. Evaluation also involves working closely with parents and helping to identify the most appropriate schools, supports, and home strategies.

Are you a high achiever but under value yourself? Work hard and have objective success but feel something is missing, or that it's still not enough? Do you feel aspects of your life need improvement, direction, guidance, change, or growth? Is the old tried and true approach you take, not working anymore?  Come improve your mood, reduce anxiety, strengthen self-esteem, manage stress, work through academic/social/professional challenges, process grief, improve relationships and communication, strengthen parenting techniques, and have smoother life transitions. Therapy's success is equal to the work you put into it, come do the work!

Embarking on self-discovery takes courage, offering significant rewards. Many feel an inherent push towards growth; when blocked, it can lead to feeling stuck and a loss of self-confidence. As a hypnotherapist and life coach, I'm dedicated to helping you overcome these obstacles. We'll tackle fears, avoidance behaviors, self-sabotage, and negative subconscious patterns that hinder your progress. My aim is to empower you to surpass your goals, fostering a journey of success and fulfillment. Together, we'll unlock your full potential, guiding you towards the life you deserve.

I enthusiastically approach your therapy with a high level of skill and spirit of optimism. I have been fortunate to enjoy over 25 years practicing and teaching the art and science of therapy with issues related to ADHD, depression, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, learning disabilities, family conflict, and relationship challenges. I specialize in helping you envision and to live a more satisfying life. Our work benefits from my advanced training in psychodynamic, somatic, hypnosis, psychedelic-assisted, EMDR, Cognitive-behavioral, and other therapies that enable us to work through barriers that block your healing and growth.

Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed despite being a highly self-aware and an intuitive person? Are you exhausted by anxiety, panic, and nonstop worrying? Have you tried talk therapy before and it was okay but it didn't really create the transformation or deep healing and relief from anxiety you are looking for? I LOVE working with Millennial women, like you, and using a holistic mind, body, soul approach. I will teach you the empath skills you need to get your anxiety under control, stop taking on other people's emotions, and finally set healthy boundaries so you can start living a life of freedom and joy.

As a thirty plus year veteran in Clinical Social Work, I worked for many years at the premier Harvard teaching hospital for Psychiatry in Boston.. I am an eclectic therapist. My clinical work is based upon a psychodynamic foundation to which I have integrated Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Training, Family Systems Models and Coaching. In my initial assessment and subsequent work with each individual, I strive to listen as closely as possible to the feeling experience of the client and help each person develop an understanding and perspective of their life experience.

Want to embody your most authentic self? I believe people find healing through community connection and creative expression. My practice focuses on empowering LGBTQIA+ teens and adults who are motivated to increase competence in being able to connect and sit with emotions, communicate with others and understand the multiple parts of who we are when living and engaging with the world around us. I work from a trauma-informed, strengths based approach, including elements of person-centered, CBT, and systems-based methods to explore mood related emotional stressors.

I hold a space of safety, confidentiality & upmost respect for my clients, the stories they have lived & their hopes for personal transformation. With my youngest clients, counseling is a collaborative process of shifting challenging habits & behaviors, or removing roadblocks impacting school adjustment and family harmony. I work in partnership with caregivers to take actionable steps, teaching skills & strategies to help children and adolescents thrive. With adult clients, we uncover patterns & behaviors causing pain, address trauma, shame, identity, or relationship issues; anything impacting optimal wellbeing.

For years (decades!) I have been treating substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and other disorders in adolescents and adults at my office in Newton. Helping people move from crisis to long-term healthy living is my passion. I offer individual therapy, group therapy, and families/couples therapy depending upon the need. My general approach is that life is good. It is not always easy, but it is always good. Regardless of the suffering we have faced - and some have faced a lot - or the difficulty of our current circumstances, people can learn to survive and thrive. Helping patients get to that place brings me joy.

I am a therapist who deeply believes in everyone's ability to grow and change. I believe in our ability to evolve even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. In my practice we focus on breaking down these challenges into manageable pieces and accessing the solutions that are already within.

Together, we'll take a comprehensive approach to support both your mind and body. We'll delve into the root causes of your challenges, relieve stress through lifestyle adjustments and processing, and learn practical, evidence-based techniques to enhance your daily life. Our goal is to guide your body back to a state of relaxation, where joy can once again be felt.
