Trauma recovery in Amherst doesn't have to be isolating. Headway offers compassionate providers experienced in treating intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and avoidance—using modalities like EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy to support your healing journey with flexibility and affordability.
I bring more than clinical training to this work—drawing on two decades in supporting individuals to self-actualize through education, design, and community building. My approach is integrative, warm, and forward-looking. It’s practical and rooted in evidence-based practices like Internal Family Systems, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), expanded by a adaptive and existential frameworks, and grounded in the belief that safety and transformation begin from within.
