Hello and welcome!
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in outpatient psychiatry and community mental health. I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. I have a special interest in women's mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in your mental health journey.
My primary areas of experience are trauma and addiction, and I have a deep passion for helping people heal from experiences that have impacted the way they see themselves, their relationships, and their lives. I understand that coping strategies often develop for a reason. Rather than judging those behaviors, I want to help you understand what they have been trying to do for you, while working together to develop healthier ways of moving forward.
I don’t see you as a diagnosis, a collection of symptoms, or a list of things that need to be fixed. I see you as a whole person with a story. Your experiences matter, your feelings matter, and you deserve a space where they can be heard.
Therapy can be uncomfortable at times. Healing often asks us to look at things we’d rather avoid. But you shouldn’t have to do that while feeling judged, criticized, or alone. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you can laugh, cry, be angry, feel confused, ask difficult questions, or simply sit with whatever you’re experiencing—and know that you are still accepted.
You don’t have to be “better” before you come to therapy. You don’t have to hide the messy parts. You can come exactly as you are.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will genuinely listen, meet you with compassion, and walk alongside you through the process of healing, I would be honored to take that journey with you.
I think this version captures something especially important about your philosophy: the relationship itself is part of the treatment. It also avoids making you sound like you’re promising to “fix” someone, while still conveying genuine passion for helping people heal.
I am an LICSW with 33 years of experience, including over a decade of leadership and supervising clinical staff in community mental health programs. After earning my MSW from Simmons College, I focused my practice on helping adults of all ages navigate complex life transitions, depression, anxiety, and intense emotions. I provide practical, real-world skills to help you manage stress and build emotional balance. My extensive clinical background allows me to provide deeply knowledgeable, collaborative care tailored to your unique goals.
Katharine is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in outpatient, school, and hospital settings. She specializes in helping emerging adults (18-29) and adults (30-65) navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions through compassionate, skills-focused therapy that builds resilience, clarity, and confidence—inside and outside of session.
I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who earned my doctorate from Elms College. I have over 10 years of experience in mental health care and nearly 19 years in the nursing field. Throughout my career, I have worked in inpatient, outpatient and community settings. I have experience supporting an treating a wide range of individuals, from young adults to older adults and geriatric patients.
When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences.
With more than a 10 years in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.
I believe that people make sense. Even the parts of us that confuse us. Even the reactions we wish we could change. Even the ways we cope that may no longer be helping us—or may sometimes hurt us. There is usually a reason we learned to respond the way we do.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and one of the things I value most about this work is helping people understand themselves with more compassion and less judgment. So often, we spend years believing that something is wrong with us because we feel too much, shut down, overthink, pull away, become overwhelmed, or struggle to feel safe and connected. I don’t see those experiences as evidence that you are broken. I see them as places worth becoming curious about.
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.
Hello, my name is Gina and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and people pleasing embrace more peace in their lives. Together we can compassionately unpack the origins of patterns that aren't serving you and equip you with the skills needed to move forward in greater alignment with your values.
Are you tired of carrying the weight of everything on your own? Ready to stop feeling stuck and start creating meaningful change? I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, family challenges, OCD, health-related stress, sexual identity exploration, seasonal affective disorder, work stress, and major life transitions. You deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, explore new perspectives, and develop practical strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
I have over twenty years of experience with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and parenting, among other issues. In particular, I have worked with loneliness, burnout, social anxiety, and self esteem.
My education is from Binghamton University, Boston College, and Northeastern University. Fully licensed in NY and MA, I have additional specialized training in trauma informed care, DBT, grief, and anxiety.
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.
