I am a compassionate bilingual Licensed Mental Health Therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, dedicated to supporting the Latino community through culturally responsive, culturally competent, and stigma-free mental health care. I am passionate about increasing mental health awareness and helping to break down the barriers and stigma that often prevent individuals and families from seeking support.
I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are looking for a personalized and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment. Using an eclectic therapeutic style, I tailor each session to meet the unique strengths, needs, and goals of every client.
Whether you are facing personal challenges, navigating a significant life transition, managing emotional or behavioral concerns, or simply seeking a therapist who truly listens and adapts to your individual needs, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and personal growth.
I believe good mental health care is about more than checking off symptoms on a list.
As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health & Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, I look at the whole picture—your mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, movement, stress, and everything else that may be affecting how you feel.
I listen first, then we work together to create a treatment plan that makes sense for your life. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just thoughtful, individualized care focused on helping you feel better and stay well.
I'd like to help you uncover the best version of yourself. I work to develop a safe and trusting relationship and then draw on strengths you already have to help you grow into your best self- for your partner, your children, your loved ones, and most importantly for you.
I have worked in community mental health since 2014. My educational background focused on addictions and marriage and family counseling. I have training in motivational interviewing and solution focused approaches to building change.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years in the field, I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. I am most drawn to children, teens, young adults and parents experiencing stress, anxiety and depression as well as individuals navigating life transitions. I additionally love helping parents better understand infant, toddler and child development while also providing parents with strategies they can use to promote their child's social and emotional skill building in the home environment. I have certifications as an Early Intervention Specialist through the MA Department of Public Health and as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International. I am also trained in SPACE therapy, a parent-based treatment program, developed by Dr. Lebowitz from Yale University. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and this program aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
My hope is to walk alongside you as you navigate the struggles of life. We all need someone to walk with us as we cope with the stressors of life, loss, grief, pain, and mental health challenges. I am dedicated to helping you develop healthy and effective ways to navigate whatever you may be going through while providing a safe and supportive space to process your experiences. I have experience working with adults, children, and families in a variety of settings, including crisis services, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), substance use treatment facilities, and outpatient care. My goal is to meet you where you are, support you through difficult moments, and help you develop the skills and confidence to move forward.
I am Sam Vaccaro, Integrative Therapist from the Berkshires. I am passionate about helping women reach their mental health and wellness goals. You are a whole person & your care should include all parts of you. Many mental health treatments focus on the mind or emotional health. My approach focuses on emotional, physical, spiritual, social health & more.
