Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy, and I'm so glad you're here.

  1. Reaching out for therapy can be a big step, and I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little about me. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. I earned my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Addiction Counseling, from Cambridge College in 2014. My journey in the mental health field began in 2012 while I was in graduate school, and over the years I've had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and in a variety of treatment settings. I have experience supporting individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, psychotic disorders, relationship and family concerns, and life's many transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and accepted without judgment. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy because I believe that a strong, trusting relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. You are the expert on your own life, and I see my role as walking alongside you, helping you explore challenges, recognize your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and create lasting positive change. I believe therapy is a partnership. I'll bring my experience, support, and guidance, and I'll encourage you to bring your honesty, curiosity, and willingness to grow. Together, we'll work through life's challenges at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a place to better understand yourself, I'm here to listen, support you, and help you move forward. I look forward to being part of your journey.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Arlington

Searching for OCD therapists in Arlington starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their bios.

Arlington is a smaller local market, so the number of nearby OCD therapists may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and how clearly they describe their work with OCD. Reading bios can help you tell the difference between a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and one who has specific training or experience with ERP.

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 care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
