As adults, we are responsible for changing things not because we are to blame for these things, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is. But it can also be empowering- YOU are the catalyst for personal change. You can always take a turn or step in a different direction. I am here to help you with this noble work.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem, health/wellness, career counseling, burnout & trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Arlington
Finding family therapists in Arlington starts with identifying what your family is navigating and what kind of support may fit. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for therapists whose bios mention family systems, parent-child relationships, adolescent care, or other experience that matches your needs.
Arlington is a smaller market, so local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Boston-area communities. Virtual family therapy can expand your options while keeping care accessible for busy schedules. Session attendance may include the full family, a parent and child, siblings, or individual members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse family therapists in Arlington, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
