Providing Massachusetts statewide services. Mental health issues are at an all time high. It's ok to ask for help. Please don't struggle alone. Dr. Chelmow has > 30 years in the mental health field - focusing on work, family, education, financial & social problems to quickly help reduce anxiety, depression, family issues & substance abuse. He has worked as a business executive & in governance. He has taught at Harvard Medical School, the University of Massachusetts, Cambridge College & Springfield College & written many articles on health care. He provides training to business on difficult work situations, stigma & multiculturalism.
He is writing a book on Human Rights. Other specialties: Couples therapy, PTSD, grief, parenting issues, elder & disability care. I specialize in providing immediate solutions to reduce the impact of your troubles & concerns. Our time involves having a shared conversation - not talking "at you" or "down to you". We address problems head-on together.
I believe in compassionate care w/ some good humor. You should finish sessions feeling better & seeing more options for your life. Our work establishes a deep trust w/ the highest degree of honesty. This is a safe place to explore open & hidden feelings & changing ideas. I believe in discussing social issues, our beliefs, & current events.
