You may be used to being the person everyone else depends on. Maybe you’re caring for a child with special needs or complex medical needs, or you’re a first responder or work in a high-stress profession where pushing through is part of the job. Over time, constantly being “on” can lead to stress, anxiety, burnout, guilt, or feeling overwhelmed. I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. Together, we’ll focus on what’s weighing on you, build practical ways to manage stress, and make room for your own needs, too.

Hello my name is Valerie Cotto I am a license mental health counselor. I have a master's degree from Springfield College. Currently my heart is set on supporting women during their pregnancy journey and beyond. Maternal mental health is very important and sometimes overlooked. I want to change that. My experience also includes substance abuse treatment, depression, anxiety and women's overall health.

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.

I’m a bilingual (English/Español) Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy shouldn’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment. My clients are hardworking adults, professionals, and cycle-breakers who are tired of white-knuckling their way through the week. They come to me dealing with anxiety, massive burnout, ADHD, Autism, and the heavy weight of life transitions. They stay because I skip the clinical robot-speak and get straight to "real talk."

I know what it’s like to juggle impossible schedules, which is exactly why I designed my practice to fit yours. I offer weekend and late-evening virtual sessions so you don’t have to burn your PTO or stress about missing work just to take care of your mental health.

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.
