About Marc Maccini, LMHC
Helping you find your voice and find your way.
If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone. Often, the path forward isn't about working harder, but about finding the right tools to navigate life with more confidence and clarity. I specialize in helping individuals break through those plateaus, develop firm assertiveness skills, and reclaim their sense of direction.
Background: I earned my Master of Education (M.Ed) from the University of Massachusetts and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My background in both education and the arts allows me to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world relatability.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in diagnosing and treating mental health as well as medical conditions across the lifespan. I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric nursing and have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, and ADHD. I work with adults and adolescents, and I’m experienced in supporting individuals navigating different mental health conditions.
For the past 3.5 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading a multi-site inpatient unit, supporting individuals with persistent mental illness and substance use as they work toward stability and recovery. Now, I’m stepping into private practice and writing my next chapter. I’m licensed in Florida and passionate about making care accessible and meaningful. I’d love to connect—does this sound like a fit for you?
If you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to work through substance use, mental health concerns, trauma, or a major life transition, I’m here to help. I’m a bilingual Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (LADC I) who supports adolescents, adults, and families in English and Spanish. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, relationships, recovery, and other personal challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
Seeing Patients in MA and NH. About me, For YOU! I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a Board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. My current specialty is treating patients with anxiety, depression and PTSD. Opioid use disorder with suboxone. As a provider I like to collaborate with my patients as to their desires and the direction they want to take on their journey to wellness. I like to take a conservative approach. In addition to any medications that may be prescribed, therapy is encouraged to all patients. I believe in mindfulness, exercise, and behavioral therapies.
I work with clients who are ready to try something different — or who've tried talk therapy before and felt like something was still stuck.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating concerns, and emotional regulation. I'm trained in EMDR, which is particularly effective for trauma and PTSD — it helps process difficult memories in a way that doesn't require you to re-live every detail out loud. For clients who connect better through creativity than conversation, I also offer art therapy as part of our work together.
I work with adolescents and adults across Western Massachusetts via telehealth, with some of the most flexible scheduling in the area — mornings, evenings, and weekends available.
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Barbera. I have my license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and am a registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT). I specialize in creative therapy and nervous system regulation. I work with all ages and a variety of diagnosis. I view therapy as a collaborative practice.
