At The Curious Cat Therapy, I work with tweens, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with motivated clients who want to better understand themselves, build new skills, and create meaningful change. As a therapist, I offer a supportive approach that balances compassion with accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward healthier ways of managing life's challenges. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and humor into therapy when appropriate, creating a space where growth feels both achievable and genuine.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and graduate of Boston University. I strive to create an open, safe space to help people develop an understanding of themselves to better support them. I specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, panic disorders, depression, have relationship challenges, or have a history of experiencing trauma.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. My areas of specialization include depression, anxiety, adjustment and life transitions, and LGBTQ+ affirming care, among other concerns. Together, we work to build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and foster meaningful, lasting change.

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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering support for families, adolescents and adults. I have practiced in several settings including school, group home, hospital, and outpatient mental health. I specifically worked with adolescent boys with complex trauma and problematic sexual behaviors. I completed my master’s degree in social work from Columbia University in New York.

I have experience working in community-based mental health and primary school settings. I've been a clinician since 2023 and have experience working with individuals of all ages. I am especially interested in working with those with chronic health conditions, mood disorders and trauma.

I am a Latinx provider with a special interest in trauma and stressor related disorders. I have 10 years of experience in outpatient and residential settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families.

My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

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.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!

I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment. Since 2022 I have worked as an outpatient counselor working with a range of clients from ages 6 to adult. I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Massachusetts. I offer comprehensive treatment combining medication with lifestyle and behavioral interventions. I help adult clients manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and substance use disorder. I also specialize in helping women navigate the peri and postpartum periods. I use evidence-based treatments that consider the client’s biological, psychological, spiritual, and social needs.
