Lael St Tripp

Lael St Tripp

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I've spent 12 years working almost exclusively with teens and young

adults — the age ranges that are often the hardest to reach and the

most underserved. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, and

I'm trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is an evidence-based

approach specifically designed for young people carrying past

experiences that are still affecting the present.

I offer telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, and I specifically

schedule evenings and weekends — because teens are in school and

young adults are at work when most therapists have open slots. I

provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ teens and young

adults, and I've worked with identity and coming-out concerns for

many years.

I accept insurance through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross

Blue Shield, Cigna EAP, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare —

including EAP plans, which many young adults have access to

through a parent's employer even into their mid-twenties.

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

I am a down-to-earth, approachable therapist with over a decade of experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and their families. Many clients arrive hesitant about therapy but quickly find a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where they can talk about anything. I strive to be responsive to each person’s life experiences, including gender- and race-based toxic stress and trauma. I completed my training at Boston University and spent several years working with a multidisciplinary team at a safety-net hospital.
