I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Drug & Alcohol Counselor with 8 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in substance use disorders, crisis intervention, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders — areas I approach with both clinical rigor and genuine compassion. I work exclusively through telehealth, which means you can connect with me from wherever you feel most at ease. My practice is intentionally small, so I can give each person the focused time and attention they deserve. I come to this work having seen the real impact that burnout, stigma, and lack of support can have — and I believe everyone deserves care that meets them where they are.
Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m a warm, down-to-earth clinician who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely gets it—not a place where you feel like judged or lectured. I’m a big believer in being able to laugh together when the moment calls for it, while also making space for the hard stuff. I’m caring but goal-oriented, and I’ll work with you to figure out what you want to get out of therapy and help you take steps toward getting there.
I'm Mark, a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with experience working in a broad range of ethnic communities, including urban, suburban and on the South American continent. After earning my MSW at Boston University, I spent years working in psychiatric day treatment centers, juvenile justice programs, community health clinics, schools, and home visits in Boston — with clients from age 6 to 70, representing diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I bring that depth of real-world experience, and a genuine commitment to understanding your world on your own terms, to every session.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I earned both my Doctor of Nursing Practice and Master of Science in Nursing degrees from Columbia University. My clinical training includes experience in outpatient community health, school-based mental health, private practice, and child, adolescent, and adult inpatient psychiatry. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse in a detox and rehab facility serving individuals with substance use disorders, including low-income, formerly incarcerated, and unhoused populations.
Life doesn't come with a roadmap and it's normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, cultural or identity concerns, grief/loss, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and approachable space where you can explore your experiences and take meaningful steps towards change.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across outpatient and emergency settings I bring a grounded and compassionate perspective to therapy. This background allows me to meet clients where they are whether they're seeking immediate relief or working toward deeper personal growth.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, stuck, or worn down by stress, trauma, relationships, or health concerns, therapy can help you find a clearer path forward. I’m a licensed psychologist who works with adolescents and adults, with clinical and academic experience at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I trained in medicine at Tehran University of Medical Sciences before earning my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Houston. My style is warm, practical, and evidence-based, while always tailored to you as a person.
I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.
My primary areas of experience are trauma and addiction, and I have a deep passion for helping people heal from experiences that have impacted the way they see themselves, their relationships, and their lives. I understand that coping strategies often develop for a reason. Rather than judging those behaviors, I want to help you understand what they have been trying to do for you, while working together to develop healthier ways of moving forward.
I don’t see you as a diagnosis, a collection of symptoms, or a list of things that need to be fixed. I see you as a whole person with a story. Your experiences matter, your feelings matter, and you deserve a space where they can be heard.
Therapy can be uncomfortable at times. Healing often asks us to look at things we’d rather avoid. But you shouldn’t have to do that while feeling judged, criticized, or alone. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you can laugh, cry, be angry, feel confused, ask difficult questions, or simply sit with whatever you’re experiencing—and know that you are still accepted.
You don’t have to be “better” before you come to therapy. You don’t have to hide the messy parts. You can come exactly as you are.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will genuinely listen, meet you with compassion, and walk alongside you through the process of healing, I would be honored to take that journey with you.
I think this version captures something especially important about your philosophy: the relationship itself is part of the treatment. It also avoids making you sound like you’re promising to “fix” someone, while still conveying genuine passion for helping people heal.
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Barbera. I have my license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and am a registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT). I specialize in creative therapy and nervous system regulation. I work with all ages and a variety of diagnosis. I view therapy as a collaborative practice.
I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and perinatal mental health — and I hold particular expertise working with military service members, veterans, and people navigating pregnancy loss, infertility, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety. I understand military culture in a way that's hard to put into words, and I take it seriously. I also know firsthand what early motherhood can feel like — the disorientation, the grief that shows up alongside joy, the way it can surface things you thought you'd already dealt with. Having my own child gave me a different kind of understanding of this work, and it informs how I show up for clients going through it. I use evidence-based approaches — including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), CBT, and ACT — because you deserve more than good listening. You deserve treatment that has a track record of actually working.
