Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner
Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.
My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.
As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

Len Schmelkin is a LICSW who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, in adults and families. Len completed his graduate training at the University of Wisconsin. He is completing his certicated in family therapy at the Intensive Family Therapy Program in Boston.
You may still be managing work, relationships, and everything else on your plate — but it's taking more out of you than it used to. I offer warm, practical online therapy for adults across Massachusetts who are anxious, low, irritable, exhausted, or just not quite themselves, often while still holding everything together on the outside. I'm a bilingual, bicultural LICSW with eight years of clinical experience, including several years in medical and women's health settings. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.
I have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Danvers
Searching for therapists in Danvers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
In a smaller city like Danvers, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Peabody, Salem, and Beverly. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and fit.
Therapy in Danvers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are verified, so you can browse providers, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
