Welcome! I am a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in trauma and health psychology, and have extensive post-doctoral trainings in these areas. Typical issues that people come to treatment for are feeling overwhelmed from past or recent trauma, being diagnosed with a serious health condition and not knowing what to do or how to cope, feeling stuck in processing grief and loss, or and struggling with chronic pain or insomnia.

I specialize in issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, life-transitions, and relationship issues. I provide therapy to adults and young adults through a personalized approach for each client. I believe that developing a non-judgmental and client-centered approach to therapy is key to feeling better each day. In therapy, a thoughtful review of stressors, trauma, and relationships helps to build a better context around the client's challenges and informs treatment. Therapy involves building an understanding of how past relationships and experiences inform and affect our actions and emotions.

Belmont, MA 02478 (Online Only)
I specialize in college adjustment/ stress, anxiety, depression, body image issues, eating disorders, & obsessive compulsive disorder. My therapeutic approach is practical and flexible, grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and exposure therapy. I find that people often assume that they “should” know how to approach therapy. In reality, the process may not be quite so simple and may feel confusing. Thus, I frequently have conversations with my clients about how to use therapy and ongoing dialogues about our work together.

I am Jane Gotshalk, a licensed independent clinical social worker. I started my journey in 1997, knowing then that I wanted to work with children and adolescents. As I've grown older and more experienced with virtual therapy, I have found that younger children are more successful with in person therapy. However, I still am passionate about working with adolescents and college students as well as adults up to age 60.

Life is filled with challenges and sometimes we find ourselves not having the skills, knowledge, resources, or “neurology” to manage. I believe that counseling can help people identify the roadblocks which prevent them from feeling competent and hopeful. I view each person who chooses to work with me as unique and capable, and together we build a relationship where humor, trust, and compassion facilitates our work. Together we work towards removing or reducing roadblocks to help you reach your personal goals. It’s not always easy, but it is a journey that is often life changing. I feel honored to go on the journey with you.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
