Therapists Beginning With G in Massachusetts

People say- "You have a problem, get it fixed- go see someone!" I say- "You have 'feelings'- go share them with someone!" 'Problems/issues' has a negative connotation; there are only feelings to start with- it can be fear, love, guilt, desire, anger, inhibition, disappointment, uncertainty. These are a part of human experience and totally normal, you are bound to have them...unless they become extreme or unbearable (that is when they become problems). I will help you in dealing with yourself and not let these feelings become the so-called 'problems'. I am a coach and learning expert that can help you learn 'you'. Let's learn!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked with a variety of clients from children to adults. Over the past several years, my work has been focused on treating individuals with chronic and severe mental illness including addictions. I have worked in a variety of settings including individual outpatient clinics, therapeutic mentoring, adult day treatment and community based clinical services focused on helping people remain stable in the community. Through my experience, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients from many different cultures, ages, religions, and backgrounds.

Has the compulsive use of pornography gotten in the way of having the connections you want to achieve in your life? Has your relationship been affected by adult content or infidelity? Nowadays many people use adult content and may not understand how it impacts your relationship or they may have tried to unsuccessfully limit their use. Many people are simply just trying to escape from depression, anxiety or boredom to find that it is affecting their relationships. You may feel stuck, ashamed and embarrassed keeping this secret. Seeking help is the first step towards wellness.

Welcome to my practice. I have been helping people of all ages who are struggling with a variety of life's challenges ranging from general stress, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, to the aftermath of severe traumas. I understand that often times the decision to enter therapy and to share the experience of pain and stress can be extraordinarily challenging. I consider my style to be warm, gentle and highly supportive, helping clients identify their strengths and resources as we work together toward your healing.

Do you feel overwhelmed by thoughts of the past or worries of the future? Are you struggling to manage relationships with family, friends and coworkers? Is it hard to take care of your needs? I practice a merriment of evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to meet your needs, including exposure therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, women’s issues and body positivity.Together, we will process difficult feelings and identify tools that work for you so you can live your best life.

Life can be very challenging at times. Often, we find ourselves in places, wondering how did I get here? Or not again? Although the details may be different, you will find repeated themes in your life. The first step in solving any problem is to identify the problem. We will work together to gain an understanding of: why you are where you are at this time in your life, what you would like to change, and learn the tools needed in order to effectively make the changes and establish long and short term goals.

Do you find yourself struggling with loss or life changes and find it difficult to cope? Are you having symptoms of anxiety, depression, addictive or unhealthy behaviors? When many think of loss and grief, one may assume they have lost a loved one. At times this is the case, but there are so many kinds of losses we are faced with in our lives; loss of self, loss of roles in life, loss of relationship, chronic illness and many more. Losses can cause us to question our lives and who we are, and can even bring up past hurts or negative ways of coping that are not helping us achieve our best selves.

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.

What does your typical day look like? What has been a roadblock that’s prevented you from feeling happy? Are you willing to set goals to achieve a new sense of happiness? Change is hard, and you will face new challenges that will test your ability to try something new. When you put the work and effort into making change, you will discover a new sense of well-being and make a positive change in your life.

I specialize in conducting neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents, ages 6 to 22. I am currently only taking clients for evaluations. The evaluations I conduct are invaluable to parents who are trying to understand their child's learning style and their learning strengths and weaknesses. Often, parents seek my help when they are concerned about their child's ability to achieve his/her potential in school and/or regulate his/her behaviors or emotions. My reports have been crucial tools for many parents in securing academic accommodations for their children both in the state of Massachusetts and elsewhere.

Through compassion, collaboration, and solution-focused interventions I help my clients understand their emotional needs, improve their ability to communicate effectively, and utilize their inner resources to develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

People seek therapy for many reasons; sometimes it is due to historical events that need processing and clearing out, sometimes it is to seek resolution of current life circumstances, such as family or work challenges that make life feel unmanageable. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families or all ages with various challenges, and treat a range of challenges, including, but not limited to; Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Poor Self-Esteem, Trauma, Addiction, Interpersonal Relationships, Phase of Life and Adjustment Challenges.

Life does not have to look the same for everyone and I recognize that there are many different ways in which we can live a healthy, fulfilling life. It can feel isolating at times when we are trying to navigate the various changes and obstacles that come our way. I enjoy working in collaboration with my clients to identify their personal strengths and utilize them to bring about positive changes in their lives. I do so by employing various therapeutic techniques in an empathetic, inclusive and trauma-informed manner that is personal to the client's needs and concerns.

Did you ever image you would be at this point in your life? Let me help you get your work, personal life and relationships get back on track. We often deviate after a traumatic experience or an overwhelming about of stress. But the path to success involves less, not more. From ADHD to anxiety and trauma, I've walked these paths and turned back to help others. PTSD is my specialty.

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and connected environment where we can hold your pain, together. I hope to explore with you the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can be key in becoming unstuck, living by your values, and building a meaningful life. With my own history as a competitive athlete, I especially appreciate the connection between the mind and body and know how much we all can use a great coach, and teammates in life. My style can be described as empathic, informal, and collaborative.
