Hello there. Thanks for checking out my profile.
I don't know what brings you to this tiny nook of the internet, on this particular day, but I am grateful and very curious to hear.
As a therapist, I've worked with adolescents and adults for over a decade; sharing in their challenges, connecting in laughter and kindness.
It would be my joy to learn your story and meet you with warmth, humor, and sincerity.
Hello, and welcome. I am Shereda Grossett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, RN. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience caring for individuals across a variety of mental health settings. My background includes leadership in inpatient psychiatry, nursing education, and direct patient care.
I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. I believe that mental health care should be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.
I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and practical. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or family conflict, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lexington
Finding addiction therapists in Lexington starts with understanding the type of support you want. Addiction care can address alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.
Lexington has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Boston or Cambridge, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping access close to home. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and the style of care described in their profile. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they take a nonjudgmental approach, have experience with harm reduction frameworks, and describe how they support people through changes that may not follow a straight path.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before booking. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
