Erica Checko

Erica Checko

Psychologist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Rooted in my graduate training at the University of Rhode Island, I developed expertise in both general clinical and health psychology. I developed a programmatic line of research in health promotion (adoption and maintenance of multiple health behaviors including exercise, smoking cessation and nutritious eating) with a particular focus on exercise motivation as a gateway to adopting other health behaviors.

During my internship and postdoctoral training at VA Connecticut and VA Boston, respectively, my research evolved towards integrating health behavior change (e.g., exercise adoption and maintenance) with veterans suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain and PTSD. As I learned more about the biopsychosocial model of these medically and psychiatrically complex disorders, my ultimate goal became to help veterans better manage their pain and PTSD symptoms, utilizing health behavior change as a complementary component of their overall treatment program. With this approach, the ultimate goal was to help them improve their overall quality of life and well-being, long-term.

My patient oriented research experience, over the past thirteen years, directly informed my approach to my clinical work with individual patients. In fact, I worked for Newton-Wellesley Eating Disorders and Behavioral Medicine for the past fifteen years. As part of this work, I focused on helping individuals suffering from the full continuum of eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder) to sustain their recovery long-term and achieve "recovery maintenance" through establishment and achievement of additional life goals and to move beyond their "eating disorder" identity to a "whole person" identity to create a more meaningful life post-recovery. Additionally, as part of this practice, I treated patients suffering from anxiety, PTSD, chronic musculoskeletal pain and depression as well as veterans from the community.

Wendy Hagen

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My name is Wendy Hagen, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).

I believe therapy should feel both comfortable and useful in your everyday life. We’ll talk about what’s happening, but we’ll also work on practical skills you can use between sessions. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, knowing you’ll be met with compassion, honesty, and without judgment.

There may be difficult conversations, moments when something finally clicks, and probably some humor along the way. I’ll listen, offer perspective, and gently challenge you when it may help. My goal is for you to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and tools you can actually use as you navigate life.

Teila Dupuis

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


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.

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.

Therapist

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.

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.
