I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life. My approach is practical and compassionate—I help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit your life. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged.
Hi, I’m Jessica, psychotherapist and founder of A Wholehearted Way Counseling. I work with individuals and couples who are moving through periods of anxiety or depression that often show up during life transitions, including perinatal and postpartum experiences, grief and loss, identity shifts, and relationship challenges whether in monogamous or non-monogamous partnerships.
I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone and can begin to feel more supported, understood, and connected to yourself.
Hi, I'm Trudy Carl, LICSW. I bring over 15 years of experience in social work, mental health, and human services, working with individuals, teens, families, and couples across community, healthcare, and correctional settings. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use, and re-entry after incarceration. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, helping clients build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful change in their lives.
Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.
I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.
I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
I’m Magenecka, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing and several years of nursing experience. I care for adults ages 18 and older throughout Massachusetts via telehealth, supporting concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related symptoms. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for the right fit, you deserve to feel heard and welcomed without judgment. I believe your care should reflect who you are, not just your diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Boston
Searching for couples therapists in Boston starts with finding someone trained to work with both partners and the relationship itself. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Some therapists have specific couples training, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. You may also look for licensed marriage and family therapists, since their training focuses on relationships and family systems.
In a large metro area like Boston, the number of options can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Cambridge, or another neighborhood with easy transit access. Virtual appointments can also make scheduling simpler when two calendars need to align. As you compare therapists, check availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist works with couples and whether their style fits what both partners want from care.
Couples therapy in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who work with couples and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location and plan. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
