Work demands don't pause when life gets hard. If you are navigating a transition, workplace stress, or the lasting weight of grief or trauma while still showing up for work and family, you already know how exhausting this is.

I am interested in helping you navigate these life transitions. I run a small, focused practice with evening and weekend availability, designed for working professionals and academic students. My background spans community health, trauma-informed care, and research.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Does the never-ending ticker tape of to-do's running through your head leave you feeling physically exhausted and emotionally depleted? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Are you struggling as a parent, trying to get it all right but not sure what to do?

I'm Andrea, a combat-deployed veteran, part of an active-duty military family, and a twin mom who's spent years learning how to work with her own ADHD instead of against it. That personal history shapes how I show up with clients: direct, warm, and genuinely curious about what makes you tick. I love problem-solving and getting to the heart of what's really going on so you can feel better, sooner, not months from now. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, depression, trauma, and the everyday overwhelm of trying to hold work, relationships, health, and parenting together at once. If you're a parent trying to get it "right," a couple looking to communicate without the same old fight, or someone whose brain just doesn't work like the productivity blogs assume, I get it, and I can help.

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

Hi, I’m Jessica, psychotherapist and founder of A Wholehearted Way Counseling. I work with individuals and couples who are moving through periods of anxiety or depression that often show up during life transitions, including perinatal and postpartum experiences, grief and loss, identity shifts, and relationship challenges whether in monogamous or non-monogamous partnerships.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone and can begin to feel more supported, understood, and connected to yourself.

Nicole Wint

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My journey started with volunteering in the Guidance Counselor's office at my high school. In this setting, my emotional intelligence and level of empathy began to grow. I decided to study Psychology to understand how the mind works, then studied Social Work to understand how that mind works when affected by events in the environment. I have worked extensively with children/ students, the LGBTQIA+ community, people living with HIV/ AIDS, the elderly, Veterans, Immigrants, couples and families. I accept clients no matter their race, gender, ethnicity or background. I utilize a strength- based approach for my clients as I believe we all have the ability to take control of our own lives.
