Therapists Beginning With V in Massachusetts

Do you want to make a positive change in your life but are limited by negative thoughts or beliefs? Do you want to break down internal walls and work toward the best version of you? I am Sam Vaccaro, Integrative Therapist from the Berkshires and I would like to be apart of your journey.

Do things feel like they have been going in the wrong direction for a while? Maybe you’ve been butting heads with people at work, or are struggling to perform as well as you used to. Maybe your marriage or romantic relationship is on the rocks and nothing is working to get things good again. Is your stress level so high that you find yourself flying off the handle more than you’d like? Are you lying awake at night, or just feeling like nothing is enjoyable at all anymore? Reaching out for support is a smart and brave move, and I’m ready and available to work with you on new approaches to problems that seem unsolvable.

My practice is adult based, with a wide variety of cliental from those with a mental health diagnosis to those working on life transitions or self esteem. My personal philosophy of therapy as I am here as a support person for you in whatever capacity you need me to be. If you need someone to process your past, to bounce ideas off of, to cheerlead behind you, I do it all. I want want you to have family and friends in your support system but your decisions affect them, affecting what they say. I am here just for you. I want to work with you to have the full filling and rewarding life that you want.

I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.

I take a warm, collaborative, and tailored approach that positions you as the expert of your own experience.

We all have a unique path, an unfolding story to tell, and various crossroads to navigate on our journey through life. At times the path may be difficult; we may feel lost and unable to find our way or change direction alone. It may be a crisis in a family or relationship, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, difficulties with work or school, or an inner sense that something is just not right. I believe our natural state is one of joy and well-being but experiences in life can cause suffering and distance us from feeling whole. I take a holistic approach based on the premise that the mind and body function as one.

During this challenging and difficult time for all of us, simply talking to a therapist can help alleviate stress. Feeling fearful, anxious, depressed, lonely, scatter-brained, unfocused, angry, fatigued, numb are all possible reactions to the state of our current world. You may feel none of these and want to explore something completely unrelated. Our first conversation will give you a sense of whether it's a good fit. Trust your instinct. If it doesn't feel right for any reason, I encourage you to keep searching!

Providing individual psychotherapy for clients in need. Also offering supervision for LCSWs who are working toward independent licensure. As human beings, we each deserve a virtuous, healthy quality of life. While the days, weeks, and months pass by it can be easy to lose touch with ourselves; our own individual needs.

Relationships can be a place of deep connection and fulfillment, and yet the source of pain, suffering and conflict. Often both. The underlying foundation of love is there, but disagreements, small or large, can feel extremely painful and frustrating. You may vacillate between either pushing feelings to the side and trying to “just let it go”, or exploding because you just can’t stand it anymore. Is there a way to navigate this more gracefully? How can we communicate in a way that leads to understanding, closeness, love and authentic connection, rather than bitter arguments?

Hi and welcome! The clients that I help may be starting to undo their inner people-pleasers. They have been taught that they are not enough, or are too much. That their needs somehow don’t matter as much. They get in their own way, don’t live in accordance to their values, and ruminate on every perceived mistake. They worry about being a burden or an inconvenience to others. They have a wounded inner child. Many of my clients are survivors of narcissistic abuse, struggle with addictions or self-harm, and struggle with just being nice to themselves. Sound familiar? You may not see it now, but you are worthy of the life you dream of!
