I earned my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) before moving to Boston to start my career in bedside nursing in 2019. After serving as an RN and Director of Nursing at a residential treatment center, I earned my PMHNP at Regis College to specialize in mental health. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience providing cutting-edge ketamine therapy in outpatient clinics and managing complex cases in inpatient psychiatry. Now, I’m bringing that clinical expertise—along with post-graduate training in CBT—to my full-time private practice, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD and ADHD in the South Boston area.
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.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of post-graduate clinical experience. I graduated from Rhode Island College School of Social Work in 2016 with my Master of Social Work and a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Child and Adolescent Trauma. I am the owner of, and sole therapist at Tabula Rasa Therapy, LLC. I provide gender-affirming care and have expertise in LGBTQ+ issues, adult and childhood trauma including working with survivors of conversion therapy, anxiety, depression, identity formation, and life changes.
I have extensive experience in community mental health and private practice settings working with teens and adults. I received my Masters of Science in Psychology from Johnson & Wales University. I am licensed to practice in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and able to serve clients in the states of FL, AK, MO, and MA. I am passionate about working with adults who are ready to explore their vulnerabilities and become better versions of themselves. I understand that taking that first step to ask for help is the hardest, and that all the hurt, frustration, and pain that brought you to this point are all valid! In my office you can expect to be able to share your experiences in an open and safe environment.
I’m Jose Garcia, a licensed therapist (LICSW, CCM) with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, culturally sensitive, and bilingual environment to help clients feel understood and empowered to grow.
I'm Danielle Elliott, an LICSW — Massachusetts' highest independent social work license — trained at Simmons College, offering telehealth therapy to adults across Massachusetts. I specialize in complex trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, DID, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, gender dysphoria, and recovery from human trafficking, high-control groups, and sexual assault — areas where most therapists lack real depth. I use CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD, EFT, MBCT, Psychodynamic therapy, and Strength-Based approaches — all adjusted as you change and grow. You no longer have to face this alone.
