Family Therapy in Woburn, MA

I'm happy to be a part of your journey to internal understanding, acceptance and growth. Many times we approach therapy from an overwhelming place. We may find ourselves repeating painful patterns that do not bring us enjoyment and satisfaction. My goal is to put you first while implementing evidence based practices, to guide you to reach your goals. Whether that looks like depression, anxiety, substance use, self-harm, suicidal ideations, family conflict, or something else; I am here to help.

Hello, congratulations on taking the first step to taking care of you, I know it's not always easy. If you have a child or are a teen, adult or family looking for a judgement free, confidential, comfortable space you've come to the right place. My background and specialty areas focus on the challenges facing individuals and families who have faced trauma, understanding the unique aspects of the LGBTQ community and the many benefits of clinical hypnosis. Schedule an intake today and start feeling positive about yourself and or your family life.

An ideal client would be an adult, mental health/substance use disorder, with a desire to change. Family involvement is so important so I would hope they would have emphasis on that and willingness to have them involved. Ultimately I love when someone is internally driven to change, but as a therapist we meet the clients where they are. Internally motivated, externally motivated, and sometimes neither. I don't discriminate and am willing to help essentially anyone.

Hi there, my name is Elizabeth and I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner! I am an experienced NP of 9 years and am accepting new clients for medication management. My goals are to serve clients by providing a safe environment to set goals and reach them. My specialty is working with each individual person and providing care to the individual with evidence based care.

My ideal client would be 13-21-year-old males with issues such as depression and anger issues; their goal is to discover their strengths and build positive relationships with family and peers. They also want an outlet to talk about their feelings and need an outside source to share.

My ideal client would be an individual who is ambivalent relative to the need for change. They may not see the relationship between their issues and their behaviors. This client may have legal, employment and family impairment. The individual wants to be meaningfully employed and have trust in their loving relationships. However, the individual views their substance abuse or alcohol issues as secondary and attributes impairment in the domains mentioned above to external situations, people or events. They do not see their role or personal responsibility in their issues.

As a licensed therapist experienced in the treatment of children, family, and adult issues, I utilize my training to offer diverse approaches to address each person's unique struggles. I am dedicated to the well being of each of my clients and provide individualized compassionate care, and work to help each client improve their life within the context of his/her life values.

I have been a Clinical Social Worker for over 40 years. I bring a lot of passion to my work, and am quite active in the process. I utilize a goal oriented perspective focusing on solutions and growth, while also helping patients/clients develope their own insights and awareness. I like to give feedback to folks and feel that therapy is a process to help create change. My ideal patient is someone who is motivated to work on their problems, is flexible, has a sense of humor, and knows that the therapist does not have all the answers.

I started my career after graduate school running group homes for adolescents. I also spent time working in a residential treatment program for adults with eating disorders, and maintained a small caseload for individual psychotherapy.For the past 13 years, I have been in private practice full time providing psychotherapy to individuals and some couples. In the past few years, my interest has turned to experiential therapies such as Internal Family Systems, Psychodrama, and Gestalt. Other strong interests include Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing and Attachment Theory. My work is trauma-informed and holistic.

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) specializing in the treatment of trauma and addictions. I am passionate about walking clients through the healing journey, and believe that through facing our struggles we are able to find and embrace our unique strengths and purpose.

The ideal client would finally be open to change and hope to have better interpersonal relationships. This can be a client who struggles with their anxiety, possibly has poor attachment styles, and struggles with holding meaningful relationships (romantic, platonic, familial). Their goals would be identifying healthy boundaries and healthy responses, increasing effective communication skills, and identifying past relationships/present relationships in order to identify patterns/habits.

Welcome! I’m really glad you’re here. In therapy I create a safe space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Remember, this is your time and your journey. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and we’ll focus on what matters most to you. I am very committed to supporting individuals from various walks of life, including veterans, children, teens, and people in recovery. My experience extends to addressing substance use concerns, trauma care, and family systems.

Your life is a constant juggle, a never-ending to-do list. College, work, family, & unexpected life shifts—your plate is full to the brim. Sometimes, it feels like you're drowning in responsibilities. The weight of it all can be suffocating, leaving you utterly exhausted. You've become a master at putting others' needs first, but who's taking care of you? You keep telling yourself, "It'll be okay," while pushing down the mounting pressure, but deep inside, you're struggling. You wear a brave face but you long for a moment to pause, to be heard, to acknowledge that it's okay to not be okay.

Do you think you may have ADHD or Autism? Have you struggled to assert boundaries at work, with family, & partners? Have you felt curious about exploring different pronouns and gender identity? Do you feel bad that you have a disability and don't know how to tell your friends that you can't do certain activities? You may have goals to tell your friends your preferred pronouns. Goals to get a diagnosis for your disability & curious about medication, goals to reevaluate your relationship with cannabis/alcohol. You may feel shame & anger about your childhood & the way your parents handled your behavior.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me and engage with me effectively. This includes open lines of communication and utilizing therapy times efficiently. I don't believe that progress can be rushed and have no interest in "fixing" anyone. However, I am always honest in my assessments, thoughts, and opinions with clients, and my hope is that my client will do the same. My ideal client is a client who is eager to talk and is open to feedback. My ideal client is also someone who is willing to work through set backs or challenges, together as a team.

Larissa enjoys working with clients who are ready and committed to change. Larissa works well with those who struggle with a variety of mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship/family stressors, addiction, and trauma. Larissa enjoys working with clients who are ready to get out of their comfort zones, who are willing to have an open mind, incorporate new techniques, and be challenged.

My ideal client is a person who is seeking treatment and is aware of the reason why he/she/they want help. The person can be self-referred or referred by a provider, family, etc. The client is aware of their goals and objectives. The client is also okay with meeting weekly for 50 minutes and understands/agrees with the policies of the agency. The client is aware of and agrees with the limitations therapists have.

My ideal patient comes with an open mind to participate in talk therapy and narrative therapy. Ready to start a process - not necessarily eager to engage but wanting to make a change. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I have worked in different settings within the community, working with all ages and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, Autism, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD. I have experience with doing individual work as well as family therapeutic work. I believe in collaboratively working with my clients and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. My goal is to support my clients through their journeys. If you are looking to learn more about yourself and how to better navigate through current and past issues, I am here to help.
