Elizabeth St Jacques

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I believe healing begins by recognizing the strengths you already have. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I take a person-centered, strength-based approach, helping clients heal from trauma, including generational trauma, navigate life's transitions, and build practical skills for lasting change. Along with working with individuals, I enjoy supporting couples and families, recognizing that lasting change often happens when the entire family system is strengthened. With three years of clinical experience and significant life experience, I strive to create a safe space where clients can quiet shame, build self-compassion, strengthen relationships, and move forward with confidence and hope.

Lauren McGarr

Lauren McGarr

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.

I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hi, I’m Jessica, psychotherapist and founder of A Wholehearted Way Counseling. I work with individuals and couples who are moving through periods of anxiety or depression that often show up during life transitions, including perinatal and postpartum experiences, grief and loss, identity shifts, and relationship challenges whether in monogamous or non-monogamous partnerships.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone and can begin to feel more supported, understood, and connected to yourself.

Dianna Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I've been doing this work for 25 years — which means I've sat with a lot of people in a lot of different kinds of pain, and I've watched most of them find their way through it. I work with adolescents, adults, and families dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ identity, cultural identity, and the messy overlaps between all of those things. I'm warm, direct, and probably a little funnier than you'd expect from a therapist. That's intentional. Some of the hardest healing I've witnessed happened in moments that also had some lightness in them. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming, work with couples and families in addition to individuals, and I accept Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna through Headway — plus several additional insurers on Psychology Today.

I am a bilingual Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (LADC I) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating substance use, mental health concerns, trauma, life transitions, and other personal challenges. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment while working toward meaningful and lasting change.

My professional background includes work in behavioral health, substance use treatment, co-occurring disorders, crisis intervention, detoxification, and education. I have experience providing individual and group counseling and supporting individuals with challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, and recovery.

I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I believe that every person brings their own strengths, experiences, culture, and goals into the therapeutic process. Together, we will work to better understand what is getting in the way of the life you want and develop practical tools to help you move forward.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Whether you are seeking support for recovery, emotional wellness, stress, relationships, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported.
