You know what you want to accomplish, but getting started or staying on track can feel harder than it should. Whether you're managing ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I'm here to help you understand what's getting in the way and build strategies that work in your everyday life. I work with adults 18+ and provide a supportive, affirming space where you can gain insight, strengthen your confidence, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, regardless of their background or circumstances. Whether you are struggling with excessive worry or negative thoughts, overwhelmed by schoolwork as a student, supporting a family member with autism or developmental disability, or facing challenges as a member of a marginalized group in society, it is common to feel hopeless and worthless at times. However, you do not have to give in to these feelings.
Hello, I’m Charles, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your experiences, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop the tools needed to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
Want to make the most of your life, but something keeps getting in the way?
I work with thoughtful, high-energy adults who feel held back by patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, depression, or persistent overthinking. Stop letting your lizard brain run the show.
Together, we’ll identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you, understand where they came from, and develop practical ways to move forward. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own.
Hello, and welcome. I am Shereda Grossett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, RN. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience caring for individuals across a variety of mental health settings. My background includes leadership in inpatient psychiatry, nursing education, and direct patient care.
I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. I believe that mental health care should be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
I am a therapist that has a passion for helping others break free from burdens. I believe our deepest secrets can be blockages to moving forward in life. My mission with every client is to create a space where they feel safe to be authentic, while learning ways to regain control of their lives. I am honored to support you in this journey you are getting ready to embark on and I am rooting for your success in the healing process. I am sending you well wishes and a safe space to chat.

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 Newton
Searching for therapists in Newton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Newton therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for young adults. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their focus areas, communication style, and what sessions may be like.
Newton has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, neighborhood, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If nearby appointments are limited, virtual therapy can expand your options across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes their approach. These details can help you choose a therapist who fits your schedule, preferences, and care goals.
Therapy in Newton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare providers who are accepting new patients. You can confirm coverage for your specific plan and location on Headway before booking. You can browse profiles, review fit, 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.
