Forensic Psychology Therapists in Massachusetts

Hello! I'm Jodie. Although I have specialized in working with children and adolescents, I also work with adults who have experienced trauma or struggle with other stressors. Past roles include senior leadership positions for nonprofits in the state of Massachusetts. This included working closely with DCF, DMH, and DJJ in order to support children and families. One single approach is not suitable for everyone, so I take an integrative approach to therapy. I am trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, ACT, Forensic Social Work, and Brief Therapy. I am also a master's Level Expert for CPCS. Public defenders can hire me as a consultant on cases.

You can find more information about me at https://www.mcmentalhealth.com. I am passionate about working with children. My specialty is ages 3 - 16. I have years of experience working directly with children in my office, in schools and in their homes. I have expertise in treating childhood anxiety, ADHD and behavioral issues such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder and impulse control disorders.

Bottom line, I believe we are all here to learn all we can during our time here in the Earth school. I seek to serve couples, families and individuals addressing life adjustment issues including relationship conflict, developmental concerns, functional issues related to head or brain injury and efforts to increase self-actualization. I have been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than thirty-five years; I have provided care and supervised services in mental health and psychiatric hospitals as well as correctional settings and hold specializations in forensic psychology and neuropsychology.

My name is Anastaxia Kirkpatrick, and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I became interested in the mental health field early on. I took my first introductory to psychology class in high school and this inspired me to pursue higher degrees in the psychology field. I eventually narrowed by specialty to forensic psychology, and I have a master's degree in forensic mental health counseling and have worked in several community settings. During my time working in community settings, I was able to witness the need for more outpatient therapists.

In my 30+ years of experience as a therapist, clinical supervisor, researcher, educator and writer on complex trauma, I have come to believe that we are shaped as much by the good things that went missing from our lives as the bad things that happened to us. My clients have often endured severe abuse, neglect, oppression, and other forms of life adversity. They have learned to cope and survive in ways that get misunderstood and misdiagnosed, and that can cause profound stigma, shame and social rejection. Their courage and resilience inspires awe. Finding a therapist who can see and accept all parts of them is one key to recovery.

We strive to provide a comfortable , non- judgemental space. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Telehealth for foreseeable future. Whether you are thinking about or going through a divorce, or wishing to save your marriage, I can help you understand emotions, explore options, clarify your children's experience and facilitate your thinking and decision-making. I facilitate the creation of effective parental partnerships in or out of marriages. Do arguments over recurring topics disrupt your family life? Is your toddler having inexplicable emotional outbursts? Is it difficult to communicate with your pre-teenager? Is your blended family having unforeseen problems? If so, I can help you understand and effectively re-engage.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

My trainee will be starting in May and will be taking on new clients. Honesty, Authenticity, Reality. This is how I would define my style of counseling. I received my specialty training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have developed a style that is down to earth, which focuses on working with the skills that an individual already possesses, while developing the abilities they need to bring them to the next level. I address the "here and now" while working on other skills that can/should be develop in the future. Reaching out can be hard to do but it is important.

Are you ready to live better? Hi, I’m Julie and hold an LCSW as a Licensed Therapist in Massachusetts plus an LSW in New York.

Hello, I am Holly Soares, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (in Massachusetts). I enjoy working with individuals (couples/individuals/families, couples), as well as across the lifespan (0-hospice care).

Welcome! With over 25 years of experience working with people of all ages as a trauma and grief therapist, I have helped individuals and families learn to cope with a wide range of issues including partner loss, anxiety, depression, family conflict, complex trauma and sexual assault. I provide parent guidance and coaching for caregivers who have children with challenging behaviors and special needs. I have expertise with foster, kinship and adoptive families. I offer therapy to tweens, teens and young adults who may need support with life transitions and relationships. My work with clients is always collaborative and strength-based.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands the challenges of navigating several cultures? I specialize in working with multicultural individuals, couples, and families. In relationships, cultural differences often come up in the ways we disagree or express anger, in our expectations around dating, and in what we find normal or not when raising kids. Navigating these challenges alone can feel discouraging and like no one really understands, but a culturally competent psychologist can help.

Welcome! I am a forensic mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of forensic and clinical settings, including the Massachusetts Department of Correction, Suffolk County jail, and other institutions. I have assessed, evaluated, and treated individuals for a range of mental health and forensic issues. Currently, I provide forensic and mental health counseling at Sapphire Counseling Services. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I have the privilege of offering services in both Spanish and English to individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I am a "generalist" and clinically serve individuals, couples and families across all phases of development (from pre-teens and adolescents through to older adults). Psychotherapy is a process designed to increase general mental health and well-being by clarifying goals and values, strengthening psychological weaknesses, and learning more effective and sophisticated strategies to better manage emotional, social and internal (e.g. thoughts) life. Through a gentle but focused conversational style, I utilize the latest clinical research and theory to construct a collaborative and personally-tailored treatment plan that aims for symptom relief and performance enhancement.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

“I believe that therapy is a platform that allows people to understand themselves better. The therapeutic relationship provides an opportunity to overcome challenges by trialing coping skills and talking through issues to gain new insight. Engaging in activities of wellness that supports the whole individual promotes continuous healing that allows us to connect to ourselves and others on a deeper level.”
