Therapist

Life can bring storms, transitions, and moments when the way forward feels uncertain. You may feel weighed down by old wounds, or by the pressure of always being the one others rely on. Perhaps you long for a place to pause, feel supported, and rediscover your own strength. Therapy can offer a way through—helping you move toward greater clarity, balance, and connection.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and over 15 years of experience. Clients often describe me as compassionate, validating, and direct. My approach blends deep emotional work with practical solutions, drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and somatic practices. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, caregiving roles, and major life changes.

Daria Gadzaeva

Therapist

Virtual • Boston, MA


As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.

Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.
