Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Lowell, MA

I work with adults who want to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can feel less overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools that support both your immediate relief and your longer-term goals. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced to match where you are right now.

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 am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I earned both my Doctor of Nursing Practice and Master of Science in Nursing degrees from Columbia University. My clinical training includes experience in outpatient community health, school-based mental health, private practice, and child, adolescent, and adult inpatient psychiatry. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse in a detox and rehab facility serving individuals with substance use disorders, including low-income, formerly incarcerated, and unhoused populations.

I’m Sean Bourgeoise, a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Psychology. I specialize in helping adults and young professionals work through problem gambling, substance use, and anxiety. My style is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you build insight and create meaningful change.

Over the years, I have worked with folks of all ages and from all walks of life. What they all have in common is the desire to feel connected to others and feel that life is enriching, not depleting. If you are feeling depleted, for any number of reasons, I am here to support you and help you find what you need to be connected and enriched.

Want to make the most of your life, but something keeps getting in the way?

I work with thoughtful, high-energy adults who feel held back by patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, depression, or persistent overthinking. Stop letting your lizard brain run the show.

Together, we’ll identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you, understand where they came from, and develop practical ways to move forward. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own.

I work with adults facing a range of diagnoses, life challenges, and difficult transitions. As a clinician, I believe the therapeutic process is the invisible string that connects what we struggle with now, to the meaningful changes we want and need.

Reaching out for therapy can be overwhelming-whether you’re new to the process or returning. I welcome you to a safe and supportive space to share your burdens, and help you make sense of what you’re going through.

I've been practicing for over a decade. I received my Master of Science, and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Mental Health Counseling from Suffolk University, in Boston, MA. I was also awarded an Outstanding Graduate Student Award recognizing several different criteria, including clinical competence, and development of professional identity.

I have worked with children, young adults, adults, and seniors as an outreach clinician, and in outpatient settings.

I also have experience with adults in MMT settings, and substance abuse counseling.

Most recently, I have shifted my focus to working with adults only (18+).

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Barbera. I have my license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and am a registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT). I specialize in creative therapy and nervous system regulation. I work with all ages and a variety of diagnosis. I view therapy as a collaborative practice.

I am passionate about working with people to understand and overcome things such as anxiety, depression, coping with issues relating to the Covid pandemic, anger and mitigating substance use.

I am a creative, strengths-based, and empowering clinical mental health counselor who believes deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I also work from a person-centered lens, prioritizing what matters most to you as we navigate your unique path toward healing and clarity.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.

As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.

I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.
