Therapist

Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.


I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.


I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

A Safe Space for Healing, Growth and Change.

I view therapy as a collaborative process — one where you and I work together to uncover patterns, strengthen resilience, and create new possibilities. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a compassionate, person-centered perspective. I often integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while also drawing from trauma-informed and holistic frameworks. This means we’ll look not only at thoughts and behaviors, but also at how emotions and the body hold your experiences. My role is to guide, support, and empower you — helping you build insight and tools that align with your values and goals, at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!

I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment. Since 2022 I have worked as an outpatient counselor working with a range of clients from ages 6 to adult. I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.

I'm a nurse practitioner with six years of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient psychiatric settings. I specialize in addiction and substance use, depression, and general psychiatry — working exclusively with adults. After years of high-paced clinical work, I built a telehealth practice designed around real life: I see patients evenings and Saturday mornings, so quality psychiatric care doesn't have to compete with your workday. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach — focused on what actually helps you move forward.

Hi, my name is Sean and I would like to welcome you to therapy. If you are feeling stressed, stuck, and/or overwhelmed with life circumstances, you have come to the right place. I have been passionate about providing quality therapy for many years. Therapy can lead to insight and growth and help build a quality of life that you truly deserve.


I currently utilize the following models in therapy:

Motivational Interviewing is a communication style designed to support active listening and client autonomy. You will feel heard and supported to focus on specific goals for your therapy experience. Change can be challenging. You may even enjoy some of the things you seek to change. This is often a completely normal experience. We will explore your goals in a non-judgmental and validating manner.


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured goal-oriented model that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Having racing thoughts and feeling angry, sad, and/or worried are often normal experiences for many of us. When experiences impact your functioning, this may result in distress and/or conflict. We will collaborate to identify patterns that may be unhelpful and develop coping skills that may help you resolve your concerns.


Solution Focused Therapy is a future orientated model. We will collaborate to determine solutions that could help you move forward towards your preferred future. This includes exploring your strengths and resources that can be utilized as key supports during your therapy journey.


Trauma Informed Care is a framework that ensures therapy offers you a safe space where psychological and emotional safety is paramount. You will be empowered to have a voice and choice during the therapy process. Moreover, you will feel a sense of trustworthiness and transparency during your therapy journey.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I am a seasoned professional who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. My varied training including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Spiritual Response Therapy enables me to help you go deep, get to the root of an issue, and create satisfying resolutions.


I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a transpersonal approach was fostered, that is, taking into account the psychological as well as the spiritual aspects of our clients. I also studied at the Coaches Training Institute, EMDRIA for EMDR training, The Gestalt Institute of Santa Fe, the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Albuquerque NM, and the Spiritual Response Association. I am also a life-long meditator and spiritual practitioner. In addition to working as a therapist for the last 21 years, I have been a marketing director, a psychic and a life coach.


Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.


I am currently writing a book called, "The Misfit Mystic" which addresses the issue of struggling to fit into society with psychic and spiritual sensibilities.
