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.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Arlington
Searching for addiction therapists in Arlington starts with finding care that fits the specific concern you want support with. Addiction care can include substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and the mental health concerns that may come with them, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction frameworks, or coordinate with a prescriber when medication support is part of a person’s care plan.
In a smaller city like Arlington, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. Recovery can also change over time, which makes fit especially important. Consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental addiction support. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about recovery, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and what to expect in sessions before you book.
Addiction therapy in Arlington 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 starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
