Top family therapists in Brookline, MA
Navigate family challenges in Brookline with compassionate providers trained in parent-child interaction therapy, couples counseling, and family systems work. Headway connects you with affirming therapists who help families build healthier relationships through practical, evidence-based approaches.
I work with individuals and people in relationships navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, relationship distress, parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. Together, we'll slow down enough to notice what has been difficult to see, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.
With twenty years experience, I am passionate in working with adults, couples and children around relationship needs, family dynamics, and developing a stronger sense of self as a person, partner and/or parent.
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’m Sheela M. Palma, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from The Ohio State University. With 20 years of experience supporting diverse populations, including high-risk postpartum women and individuals navigating substance use disorders, I bring both clinical expertise and a compassionate, individualized approach to psychiatric care. I work with teens and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and substance use concerns.
Hi, I’m Tina Chen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping clients feel their best. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and I combine medication management with practical tools from CBT and positive psychology. With advanced training from California Baptist University and National University, I focus on creating a supportive, collaborative space where you can build confidence, resilience, and balance in your everyday life.
