I have been in human services for over 30 years. I am see individuals over 21 years of age. I am an LICSW and accept most insurances. Most of my experience is in trauma, substance abuse, anxiety and relational issues
As your therapist I will work alongside you to help you learn to identify your emotions, learn healthy ways to express yourself, and healthy and effective ways of communicating with others. Together we will also identify your strengths as well as possible unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns and how they relate to your everyday experiences and emotions.
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 have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.
I am Sam Vaccaro, Integrative Therapist from the Berkshires. I am passionate about helping women reach their mental health and wellness goals. You are a whole person & your care should include all parts of you. Many mental health treatments focus on the mind or emotional health. My approach focuses on emotional, physical, spiritual, social health & more.
I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to take that first step toward change, even if they aren’t quite sure where to begin. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what you want to work on to get started. What matters most is a willingness to show up, remain open to new perspectives, and explore the parts of yourself and your experiences that may be difficult to face. Therapy can involve digging deep, challenging familiar patterns, and sitting with uncomfortable feelings, but it can also lead to meaningful growth and a deeper understanding of yourself.
If you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to work through substance use, mental health concerns, trauma, or a major life transition, I’m here to help. I’m a bilingual Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor I (LADC I) who supports adolescents, adults, and families in English and Spanish. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, relationships, recovery, and other personal challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
