Tori Devine

Tori Devine

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Danvers, MA


I’m Tori, a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women and young adults ages 18–25 who are trying to find their way back—or forward—to themselves.

Many of the women I work with are the people everyone else counts on. They may be capable, caring, successful, and getting things done while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, low self-esteem, or the weight of past experiences. I also have extensive experience supporting women healing from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and sexual trauma.

I also love working with young adults navigating the messy transition into adulthood. You may be figuring out who you are, what you want, relationships and friendships, family dynamics, college or career, independence, or why everyone else seems to have adulthood figured out when you definitely do not.

I believe you already have strengths, resources, and parts of yourself worth trusting. Therapy can help you reconnect with those parts while building the confidence and tools to create a life that feels more authentically yours.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Jessica, psychotherapist and founder of A Wholehearted Way Counseling. I work with individuals and couples who are moving through periods of anxiety or depression that often show up during life transitions, including perinatal and postpartum experiences, grief and loss, identity shifts, and relationship challenges whether in monogamous or non-monogamous partnerships.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone and can begin to feel more supported, understood, and connected to yourself.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


Do you find yourself constantly second guessing your decisions, feeling anxious more often than not, or struggling to feel truly content in your own life? Maybe stress has taken over, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're quietly battling low self esteem and self doubt. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

I provide medication management and overall treatment for adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self esteem struggles, and that persistent feeling of not being at peace with themselves. My approach starts with genuinely getting to know you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. Before we talk about treatment plans, I want to understand your story, what's weighing on you, and what a better life looks like for you.

In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.

Therapist

I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.

We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.
