I am passionate about supporting clients who are looking to make changes in their life.
Hi. My name is Sheila and I am passionate about helping people. I have 10 years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds with a variety of concerns.
JULY openings! I believe good mental health is the key to happiness and balance in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, and finding a “good fit” can be even more challenging! I’ve been practicing for 15 years, but in the last decade, have shifted my main focus to adults and couples that are working to improve their mental health and communication.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with individuals ages 13 and older. With a warm and collaborative approach, Kaity specializes in helping clients navigate and manage stress, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. Her goal is to help you feel less "stuck," clarify your goals, and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Maybe what aches most is not the change itself, but the fear that someone you love is slipping out of reach — even if that someone is you. Everything feels different, yet somehow the same. One minute you are putting on pajamas, and the next you are spiraling because it is the first moment of quiet you have had all day. There is this gut feeling that your heart can no longer be bound with band-aids, but soul-searching is a lot before the alarm goes off tomorrow. You do not have to make sense of it all alone at midnight — that is what I am here for.
With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.
I’m Alison (Ali) Pugh, a Clinical Social Worker, USAF veteran, and mom of two. I help adults who are juggling work, family, caregiving, or major life changes that feel heavier than they look on the surface. If you’re feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, you’re in the right place. My style is calm, collaborative, and steady. There’s no pressure to have the perfect words.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Lexington, MA
Searching for postpartum therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can address more than depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, and related concerns. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Lexington may have fewer local postpartum therapists than a larger city, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping care easier to fit into life with a new baby. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
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 get clearer pricing before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
