Rebecca LaDue

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.


I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.


I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

Tim Briggs

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I’m Tim Briggs, LICSW, and I have more than 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I created MMH Counseling Services to give men a place for honest conversation, practical support, and real-world solutions.

My focus is helping adult men deal with stress, improve relationships, communicate more effectively, navigate major life changes, and feel more confident in everyday life. I also help fathers strengthen their relationships with their children and become more connected, consistent, and confident as parents.

I offer virtual, in-home, and in-nature sessions for adult men in Massachusetts. The goal is simple: honest talk, useful strategies, and practical solutions that make sense in real life.

Teila Dupuis

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.
