Words matter. The words we say and the words we use to describe our experiences shape our decisions moment by moment. As a behavior analyst, it is my job to identify the stuck patterns my clients get into to help them break unhelpful habits and make meaningful choices.

Coming to therapy can often be a challenging decision. Knowing how to start or how to find the right therapist is key to meeting your goals. My approach is to create a safe and supportive space for individuals to engage in reflection, learning, growth, healing and empowerment. Whether you are a college student or a more seasoned adult, this process will look different for each person as everyone has had their collection of experiences that have brought them to this point. I use an eclectic, intentional and thoughtful approach tailored to each client.

“Life imposes things on you that you can’t control, but you still have the choice of how you’re going to live through it.” I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, stress, depression, parenting, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma and PTSD. I provide a safe, non judgmental and comfortable environment and understand that each person is unique and I operate under the theory that one mode of therapy does not fit all

Not accepting new clients at this time as my practice is full at the moment. There is a way to feel better and get your life back. The key to making lasting improvements is to have a skilled, trained therapist help guide you with compassion.

I started my clinical career at McLean Hospital as a therapist in a variety of roles including inpatient unit, partial program, and outpatient clinic. I spent 15 years there working with adults who were struggling with substance use, mood and anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. In my 11 years of private practice, I've also enjoyed the opportunity to work with couples and families who struggle with communication, family systems dynamics, conflict resolution, and supporting family members struggling with mental health diagnoses. It's a privilege to be able to work with my patients and I truly love what I do.

I believe that connection and safety matter above all else. I specialize in working with individuals who have a trauma history, substance use, depression, or anxiety. In a mindful and collaborative process, we work toward being your best self.

Are you standing at a crossroads tempted to turn around because you're not sure how to take your next step? Do the "what if" scenarios that cycle through your mind make it difficult for you to make decisions and fall asleep at night? Do you feel stuck daydreaming of the life you want certain that it will only ever be a place you imagine? Does all of this make it hard to get out of bed some days, full of dread when you finally do, and likely to isolate from those you love?

Our identities often intersect with our struggles and our strengths. I'll meet you where you're at, and help you get where you're going.

I've been described by clients as a therapist who uses warmth and humor to empathically challenge and precipitate change. In my view, therapy is a safe place to explore your experiences with an objective and empathic professional. Therapy is useful when you feel "stuck" and when self-image, relationships, and success in school or work are compromised. Present-focused strategies may help you to become "unstuck". Delving into history, thereby gaining insight into the origins of your struggles may precipitate further development. As a therapist, I collaborate with my client to create a process that is healing and promotes development.

María A. Vargas is a bilingual (English/ Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts. She earned her Master's of Social Work with honors from the prestigious Beatriz Lassalle School of Social Work at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus in 2016. Being an immigrant herself, María believes in a critical practice of the profession by simple gestures like calling the individuals "participants", instead of “patients” or “clients”. This is to acknowledge their right to self-determination, the uniqueness of their human experiences, and the importance of their participation in the therapeutic process.

If you have been feeling unfilled, unmet, and misunderstood, I am here for you.

Our work together will help re-empower you to own your truth, to stand confident in your vision, and find your most authentic path.

A relationship spinning in circles? If so, it would be a privilege for me to come alongside to help you step into the fullness of who you were intended to be. I have a compassionate, intuitive approach that is holistic and practical.

Hi, I'm Hannah, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy! I enjoy working with emerging adults, partners, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am passionate about providing affirming and curious spaces for exploration of identity and moments of transition for individuals and partners.

Each person's needs are assessed to develop an approach which is best suited to the individual. Collaboratively a treatment plan is created, building on strengths. In addition to traditional therapy, a holistic approach is available. Traditional therapy with listening, assessment, support, and presenting an objective view enables positive movement. Integrating many perspectives widens the opportunity for balanced change. Drawing on over twenty years of experience, I counsel adults, adolescents, couples, and provide family therapy.

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

Every time we tell our story, we heal a little. My goal is to help you understand yourself well enough to be able to tell your story, heal from within, and find your peace. Human beings need connection; we need purpose. We need to be seen and heard. Maybe you have been stuck in a pattern of the same types of relationships over and over again. Maybe you've been down in the dumps for far too long, or are in need of relationship or parenting help. Maybe there is more to life than what you're currently experiencing. Maybe I can help.
