Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.4 mi away • Northampton, MA


- Couples Welcome - In-Person or Online - Same daily fight? Navigating an affair? Deciding about separation? We explore building trust, safety and a sense of partnership. We look at painful patterns, but also see you both as individuals with desires in the relationship and in your lives. We can explore how patterns influence your lives together today and expand the parts that are serving you and evolve the ones that aren’t. The results may include building new boundaries, confronting shame and evolving relationship-narratives. I offer a safe, trusting space so that you both can feel settled and explore your relationship vulnerably.

Even when life feels stormy—or you’ve tried everything—deep peace, clarity, and wholeness are possible. Many of my clients gain meaningful insight and momentum, feel less anxious, and begin creating lasting change within 2 to 4 months of weekly therapy.

My style is collaborative, warm, humorous, compassionate, and forthright.

Sophia Pastore

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Greenfield, MA


We all need connection, community, and the ability to be our authentic selves in order to thrive. Many of us are not provided these attachment needs in childhood, and we grow into adulthood burdened by this wounding, unsure of how to relate safely and from a place of wholeness. If you struggle to align your inner and outer worlds, find yourself repeating difficult relational patterns, or feel as if your authentic self must remain hidden, I would love to work with you. I am particularly interested in supporting the health of queer families and cooperatives.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amherst

Searching for therapists in Amherst starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Amherst, MA for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach fit your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Amherst is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping you connected to therapists licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what sessions may be like before you book.

Therapy in Amherst can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Amherst, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
