Whether you’re dealing with a long-standing struggle or a new crisis, finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
Welcome! I’m Carly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should feel like a real, non-judgmental conversation . I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions where I take a down-to-earth, collaborative approach. My style is warm, honest, and practical—my goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and actually helped. I want our work to feel like a space where you can breathe, grow, and feel more like yourself again.”
I am a strengths-based, person-centered play-based therapist and consultant dedicated to the well-being of children and their grown-ups.
I use reflective guidance in my work with caregivers, and creative arts therapy and therapeutic play to connect with your littles and cultivate the conditions for transformation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Family Therapist in Boston, MA
Finding family therapists in Boston starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, and mother-daughter relationship concerns. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family problem counselling, relationship family therapy, couple and family concerns, or specific dynamics like mother and daughter therapy.
Boston has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and South Boston, which can make the search more complex. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, school, work, or transit make sense, or whether virtual appointments offer a better fit for several family members’ schedules. Family therapy may include the full family, parent-child sessions, couples, or individual family members at different points. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, what communication style they use, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find Boston family therapists who are accepting new patients and offer virtual or in-person appointments. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can compare bios, review availability, 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.
