Tiffany Shotwell

Tiffany Shotwell

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I'm Tiff. I work with individuals who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or identity and life transitions. Many of my clients are veterans adjusting to civilian life, survivors of trauma, or people seeking affirming care around gender identity and self-exploration. What they share is a desire for safety, relief, and a greater sense of ease in their body and relationships.

I understand how heavy it can feel to carry these experiences alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel seen, and begin healing in a way that feels sustainable. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at home in yourself.

Carolann Farrell

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hello, my name is Carolann and I am looking forward to working with you! As human beings, we experience peaks and valleys within our lives that may result in various experiences and feelings. When things are going well, we can feel happy, content, thankful, and even elated. When things are not going well, we can feel down, sad, overwhelmed, and alone. We all deserve to live with the most happiness possible within our lives, but life often brings with it enormous unwanted challenges that result in bringing us down. If you are not feeling emotionally/mentally well as you desire, I am here to help you!

I have over 25-years’ experience in the behavioral health field using my various skills within providing individual, family, and couples therapy, clinical case management and clinical supervision. My therapeutic style is eclectic as I adapt my work in therapy sessions according to your needs. "Believing in yourself is a great first step!"

Some of my techniques include DBT, CBT, (TF-CBT), motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, family dynamics, interpersonal/relational advocacy & therapy, and clinical case management. I am very client centered and desire for you to feel comfortable throughout our time on your therapeutic journey.

Kat Alston

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


We all face challenges and joys and I am no stranger to either. My road to therapy began about 15 years ago after experiencing my own trauma and grief. I was left feeling stuck on repeat and I needed to take back my power. Finding my way to the other side my best side was to learn and develop the tools to support others. I lean into supporting mothers and caregivers as it isn't always easy or predictable. My special education background lends me to advocate for children and families in the home and in the community. I love to support and make a plan for blended families. And my desire is to help couples and intimate partners find fulfillment and connection.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
