I offer Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of self. I help people build skills to overcome anxiety, depression and emotional overwhelm. I offer training in mindfulness, which emphasizes the importance of presence and curiosity in the healing process.
I have deep empathy and insight into exploring life’s deepest questions. Clients gain confidence and a sense of improved well-being by coming to understand themselves in a comfortable therapeutic setting. I work with diverse populations and clients beginning at young adulthood.
I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.
I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, regardless of their background or circumstances. Whether you are struggling with excessive worry or negative thoughts, overwhelmed by schoolwork as a student, supporting a family member with autism or developmental disability, or facing challenges as a member of a marginalized group in society, it is common to feel hopeless and worthless at times. However, you do not have to give in to these feelings.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning adults who appear to be managing life well from the outside but are privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, ADHD, or major life transitions. I have a particular interest in men's mental health and helping professionals navigate the pressures that come with demanding careers, relationships, and family responsibilities. I work with adults, and can support parenting and divorce-related work, as well.
I believe therapy should be a place where you do not have to edit yourself to be accepted. My work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that people are more than a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms. I bring both professional experience and lived understanding to this work, including my background as a military veteran and my own experiences with grief, change, identity, and rebuilding.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker serving adults in Massachusetts, Maine, and Washington. My education and clinical training are grounded in social work, trauma-informed care, and whole-person approaches to emotional well-being. I am also continuing my education in behavioral health leadership and organizational psychology, with a particular interest in how our relationships, communities, identities, and environments influence healing.
I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, veterans, men, and people whose identities, relationships, or life experiences have not always fit comfortably within traditional expectations. My treatment areas include trauma and shame, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, identity exploration, major life transitions, men’s mental health, military and veteran experiences, and religious or cultural shame. I also provide kink-affirming and polyamory/ethical non-monogamy-affirming care.
I’m Angela, a dedicated and empathetic Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing comprehensive mental health care. I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, and sleep disorders, as well as life transitions related to relationships, career, and personal growth. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where every client feels heard and empowered.
Hello, my name is Justine Paquette and I have been a therapist in a community-based practice for children and families for over two years. I am nonbinary and part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have a master's degree from Bay Path University and have my LMHC. The treatment areas that I specialize in are trauma, anxiety, adhd and am a safe space for the LGBT community.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lexington, MA starts with identifying what you're looking for in a provider. You may want someone who specializes in concerns common among LGBTQIA+ individuals — such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, identity exploration, or family dynamics — or you may simply want a provider who understands your experience without needing extensive explanation. Both are valid starting points.
Lexington is part of a broader network of communities in Middlesex County, including Arlington, Bedford, Concord, and Waltham, where affirming providers practice both in person and virtually. When evaluating a provider, reading their bio can help you understand their approach and whether they have specific training or lived experience with LGBTQIA+ communities. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before booking a full session.
Therapy in the greater Boston area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who accepts your coverage.
