LGBT therapists in Hanover, MA

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and I earned my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I completed my Undergraduate in Psychology from Florida A&M University. I’m certified and experienced in EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, CBT- Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Domestic Violence, Juvenile Intervention Treatment, and I'm Nationally Certified in Anger Management. I’m also a Qualified Supervisor.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist who works with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodivergent adults who have spent a lot of time trying to understand themselves, but still feel stuck in painful patterns. You may already know where your struggles come from, yet find that insight alone hasn't brought the relief, self-compassion, or change you're hoping for. I've been a therapist for 5 years, and my training in internal family systems (IFS) therapy and somatic approaches has helped clients move beyond insight, experience relief in the body, and feel more whole and connected to themselves, others, and the world around them.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges on your own. With almost 10 years of experience, I provide support to individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, and stress, as well as those exploring AAPI and gender identity issues. I also work with children and teens who are managing emotional and behavioral challenges. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from CSUSB. Whether you’re feeling stuck or striving for personal growth, I’m here to help!

I am accepting new clients. Navigating through life can be challenging. I have extensive experience and advanced training in substance use. My concentrations are substance use, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am also experienced in providing emotional support with LGBTQ+, life stressors, relationship difficulties, divorce, legal problems, financial issues, or loss. I have worked with adults of diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. Every person's journey is unique. My hope is to support you in your intentions to live your best and most satisfying life.

I’m Mackenzie, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults find balance, clarity, and confidence through compassionate, evidence-based care. I believe mental health treatment should feel personal, not clinical.

Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy, and I'm so glad you're here.

1. Reaching out for therapy can be a big step, and I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little about me. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. I earned my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Addiction Counseling, from Cambridge College in 2014. My journey in the mental health field began in 2012 while I was in graduate school, and over the years I've had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and in a variety of treatment settings. I have experience supporting individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, psychotic disorders, relationship and family concerns, and life's many transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and accepted without judgment. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy because I believe that a strong, trusting relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. You are the expert on your own life, and I see my role as walking alongside you, helping you explore challenges, recognize your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and create lasting positive change. I believe therapy is a partnership. I'll bring my experience, support, and guidance, and I'll encourage you to bring your honesty, curiosity, and willingness to grow. Together, we'll work through life's challenges at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a place to better understand yourself, I'm here to listen, support you, and help you move forward. I look forward to being part of your journey.
