I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families across educational, community, and behavioral health settings. I help clients navigate anxiety, stress, emotional and behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, parenting challenges, and personal growth. I'm Asian-identified, and I bring both personal and professional understanding to supporting clients navigating cultural identity, intergenerational expectations, and the everyday weight of holding multiple roles at once. My sessions are fully virtual, so you can access support from wherever you are in Massachusetts, and I accept insurance, including Aetna, Cigna, and more.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and burnout. My professional background includes experience in both high-acuity and outpatient psychiatric settings, where I have worked with individuals facing complex emotional and behavioral health challenges.

I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and empowered. My goal is to partner with you in developing a treatment plan that supports long-term wellness and meaningful change.

I work with clients who are ready to try something different — or who've tried talk therapy before and felt like something was still stuck.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating concerns, and emotional regulation. I'm trained in EMDR, which is particularly effective for trauma and PTSD — it helps process difficult memories in a way that doesn't require you to re-live every detail out loud. For clients who connect better through creativity than conversation, I also offer art therapy as part of our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults across Western Massachusetts via telehealth, with some of the most flexible scheduling in the area — mornings, evenings, and weekends available.

Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

I am a clinical social worker and researcher interested in helping individuals navigate life transitions, work-life balance and workplace stress. I maintain a small and focused practice with availability exclusively during evenings and weekends. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Public Health (MPH) from Boston University, as well as a PhD in Social Policy from Brandeis University. My career has focused on promoting community health (individuals and families) through treatment, trauma-informed crisis intervention, trainings, policy, and research.

My name is Roselyn Kwenda, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from University of Massachusetts- Lowell in 2004 and my Master of Science in Nursing from University of Texas- Arlington in 2016. I have extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, which allows me to support individuals across a wide range of mental health needs.

Hi! My name is Kelsey, I'm a nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience as a primary care provider. I recently obtained my psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner degree in order to better serve the mental health of my patients. I love providing care to the young adult population as it's a time of great growth and learning. I have the most experience in managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and eating disorders.

Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature. In the past, I have worked well with clients with anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, personality and/or mood disorders. I genuinely care about the people who entrust me within my therapy practice and consider being a therapist one of the greatest privileges of my life.

*Former clients are welcome to reach out if they want to resume therapy, even if I do not have scheduled openings on Headway.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity, and I approach therapy from a holistic perspective—seeing each client as a whole person within the context of their environment.

My work is rooted in being trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I often integrate somatic therapy and mindfulness, recognizing that trauma is carried not only in the mind but also in the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.
