Cynthia Lopes

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Marion, MA


I believe good mental health care is about more than checking off symptoms on a list.

As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health & Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, I look at the whole picture—your mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, movement, stress, and everything else that may be affecting how you feel.

I listen first, then we work together to create a treatment plan that makes sense for your life. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just thoughtful, individualized care focused on helping you feel better and stay well.

Rayon Case

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I became a therapist because I wanted to show up for people in the moments that matter most. My background spans emergency services, crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatry, residential programs, and outpatient care — experience that shaped a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to every session.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, panic attacks, anger management, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also offer couples counseling through a Solution-Focused approach. As a Black male therapist in Central Massachusetts, I'm especially attuned to the needs of men's mental health — an area that is underserved and where I bring both lived experience and clinical depth.

I'm an LICSW — Massachusetts' highest independent social work license — trained at Salem State University and offering evidence-based, online therapy across the state.

Therapist

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Bedford

Searching for therapists in New Bedford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare New Bedford therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. A therapist who works with your specific concern, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, may be a stronger fit for what you want to address.

New Bedford is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.

Therapy in New Bedford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find therapists in New Bedford, MA who match your needs and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details — so you can review bios, compare availability, confirm coverage for your specific plan, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
