Hannah Thiessen specializes in trauma-informed care and EMDR. She brings a holistic, body-mind approach to therapy, combining traditional talk therapy with EMDR to help clients process trauma.
I am caring person who uses a open and compassionate approach in helping you to better understand your own needs. I use a skill building style that will build your relationships with others and provide you with interpersonal effectiveness to use in all of your important connections.
With over ten years of experience, I believe that therapy works best when you feel seen, heard, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is person-centered, which means I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I also believe that healing doesn't have to be serious all the time, so when it feels right, I welcome humor as part of the process.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and major life transitions. I also enjoy supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, college students, and working professionals as they navigate the unique experiences and stressors in their lives.
My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment. I balance empathy with gentle structure, helping clients feel understood while also working toward meaningful, practical change.
I'd like to help you uncover the best version of yourself. I work to develop a safe and trusting relationship and then draw on strengths you already have to help you grow into your best self- for your partner, your children, your loved ones, and most importantly for you.
Hello, I am Taylor, a licensed clinical social worker. Helping others has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy assisting people on their journey of healing and growth. I have been doing work in this field for over 10 years and have experience with a wide variety of populations. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBQIA related topics, dementia and grief.
Welcome! I'm glad you're here.
"Sometimes the hardest part of asking for help is not knowing if the person across from you will understand where you come from. I'm Mery, a bilingual, bicultural Latina clinical social worker, and I created my practice as a space where you do not have to explain your culture before we get to the real work. I work with adults and seniors carrying grief, a chronic health diagnosis, the exhaustion of motherhood, or stress that will not let up. Many of my clients are managing more than one of these at once, often while caring for others. I meet you there, in English or in Spanish, and we build a plan that fits your life."
I graduated with a Masters degree from Northcentral University with the degree of Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been working with individuals, adults, and couples. Helping people get from point A to B and see the transforming impact in their lives is what drives me to be a therapist. I love to see people become aware of their own strength and power and rise from their challenges.
I provide trauma-informed, affirming care grounded in CBT and DBT. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals, college and medical students navigating crisis and burnout, and clients facing emotion dysregulation, perinatal challenges, OCD, PTSD, and BPD. Passionate about serving marginalized communities, I bring a social justice lens to every session—creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, grow, and build lasting resilience.
Therapy is a safe space of understanding that facilitates hope, and person centered solutions that are practical and ethically reliable. Using clinical integration and holistic interventions, we will begin to reclaim hope towards a meaningful life that is empowering and fulfilling.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years in the field, I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. I am most drawn to children, teens, young adults and parents experiencing stress, anxiety and depression as well as individuals navigating life transitions. I additionally love helping parents better understand infant, toddler and child development while also providing parents with strategies they can use to promote their child's social and emotional skill building in the home environment. I have certifications as an Early Intervention Specialist through the MA Department of Public Health and as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International. I am also trained in SPACE therapy, a parent-based treatment program, developed by Dr. Lebowitz from Yale University. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and this program aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
