In Person Therapists in Winchester, MA

Welcome to Bridge to Healing Psychotherapy. My practice is centered around helping you heal from all forms of trauma, loss and life struggles. Healing is always possible...for you, for your relationships, and ultimately for your life. With 19 years of experience and extensive training in evidence-based treatment modalities such as EMDR, attachment therapy, and somatics, my approach utilizes curiosity, creativity, a sense of humor, self-disclosure and most importantly compassion to help you discover these same resources within yourself and reveal your own unique path to healing and life's purpose.

Welcome! My name is Karen and I am a bilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social worker with over 25 years of experience providing individual, family and group therapy. I specialize in trauma informed therapy and aim to supports clients’ development of healthy relationships. Over the years I have worked with young children and adults in a variety of clinical settings and developed the necessary skills to help clients change and thrive. My goal is to provide a safe non-judgmental and culturally sensitive environment for clients to explore and understand the roots of their challenges.

I provide highly personalized services to children, adolescents and adults with complex mental health needs in a fee-for-service model. Clients who resonate with my approach are looking for someone to be thorough, flexible and results-oriented. For minors, parents looking to be involved in their child's care tend to benefit most from what I provide. I bring clarity and action to complex diagnostic questions, family dynamics and significant behavioral concerns.

I am a licensed Psychologist and Certified Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Provider working with adults struggling with stress and anxiety, career/work issues, work/personal life balance, and trauma and PTSD. I provide therapy that is solution-focused and research and evidence-based. My therapeutic approach is warm, accessible, collaborative, and flexible. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a part time research psychologist and the Associate Director of Education/Outreach at the Translational Center for Stress Disorders and Traumatic Brain Injury at the VA Boston in Jamaica Plain.

Jess collaborates with each client or couple to uncover their unique path toward integrated mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health. Working from a humanistic lens, Jess employs an eclectic approach that is neuroscience-informed and draws from acceptance and commitment, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic therapies, looking at how we hold our stories in our minds, brains, and bodies, and how we can intentionally explore, rewire, and rewrite them to find meaning and health in our lives. As a certified yoga instructor and nature enthusiast, Jess loves to bring movement, breathwork, and fresh air into her work.

I HAVE A KEEN ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN...and this reflects daily in my clinical work. Is your child or adolescent not functioning well in school or at home? Are they struggling with their grades, friendships or family relationships? Sometimes it may be they have yet to reach certain developmental milestones. However, it could also be an indication of a more complicated emotional or learning problem. I have extensive experience working with both school and family systems and feel I am the best therapist to assist you and your family in your time of need.

As a therapist, I am always honored to be able to provide a compassionate and warm environment in which challenges can be made and change can be found. I am a bilingual in Spanish and English.

Center Psychotherapy is a group mental health practice that is committed to providing quality and expert mental health treatment using a humanist, client-centered approach to therapy. Our clinicians recognize that successful treatment varies with individual needs, strengths, and personal client preferences. We strive to work with you to develop treatment plans and therapeutic interventions that recognize strengths, not just symptom expression.

Life is complicated - and it can feel overwhelming and stressful at times. We each have our own unique strengths and vulnerabilities. In my over 30 years as a psychotherapist, I have greatly enjoyed helping adults and adolescents build on their strengths, manage their vulnerabilities and make their lives feel less difficult, more satisfying and more meaningful. Psychotherapy can help with feelings of sadness, anxiety, disconnection and self-doubt. Having a place where you feel listened to and understood leads to greater self-awareness, more fulfilling relationships and a more connected and satisfying life.

An example of an ideal client would be a mother who has recently become pregnant and is experiencing increased anxiety and depression symptoms. They are in need of emotional support and coping strategies. Their goals are to obtain healthy coping strategies to manage psychosocial stressors and increase symptoms.

My ideal client would be someone who is ready and willing to participate in treatment. I am comfortable with an array of different diagnoses and struggles. Their needs would include working towards tangible goals that we are able to breakdown in the treatment setting. They may want to work on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms etc. They would want to minimize their symptoms and improve everyday functioning. The goal would ultimately be to no longer need treatment as they have reached their goals.

In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis. I enjoy working on goals with clients that involve cognitive restructuring and skills building. Additionally, I enjoy short-term solution-focused goals.

Welcome to my practice, where your well-being and personal growth are my top priorities. "Are you tired of feeling anxious & stuck?" For over 11 years I've helped individuals who are struggling with their personal lives navigate the challenges they face and find a path to success. I help teenagers, adults, and couples find the confidence & self-love to live their most fulfilling lives. Through an integrative approach, I help clients build sustainable changes in their lives. In spite of all your problems, you are here, reading this, which tells me you are resilient and ready to make a purposeful shift.

I feel my ideal client is one who is self-motivated in wanting to uncover what hides beneath their unresolved traumas, fears, and old survival modes.

My ideal client is an individual facing challenges with the impacts of their symptoms on their daily life, encompassing both professional and personal spheres, as well as interpersonal relationships. This client seeks support in developing coping skills, enhancing self-esteem, and improving relational abilities. Their primary goals involve effective symptom management, cultivating positive relationships, and achieving greater satisfaction with life. Together, we work towards addressing their aspirations, empowering them to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Clients struggling with anxiety, depression, BPD, trauma, relationship issues are areas I have much experience addressing.

Liz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist at Center Psychotherapy. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and draws on psychodynamic, liberation health, relational, and attachment theories, while utilizing modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. She is committed to anti-oppressive, feminist, and body liberation practices and incorporates these principals into her work.

I'm not sure I believe in an Ideal client; I think all clients are Ideal, no matter their life circumstances. Life is like a rollercoaster, and when you're going down, you may need someone to be there and help talk you through it. However, If I had to choose, it would be a client having difficulty with self-esteem, self-worth, and depressive symptoms and needing additional assistance building coping skills but expressing readiness to change.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with substance use, whether they are just beginning to question their use and habits or they have experienced chronic relapse and feel hopeless. I believe part of that process is ensuring they are informed of options available and helping them discover their “why.” I have experience supporting people in identifying their strengths, finding coping skills, and creating measurable, attainable goals. I am skilled at navigating treatment systems/levels of care in Massachusetts. I have experience with medical detoxification protocols and can discuss options for medication-supported treatment.
