Hello! I know seeking therapy can be overwhelming and I am so happy you are here. The hardest part is often reaching out to get started. I earned my masters degree from Assumption University and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults who are struggling with a variety of mental disorders such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In session, we will work to identify and address any challenges you may be facing as well as develop skills to manage your symptoms.
Len Schmelkin is a LICSW who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, in adults and families. Len completed his graduate training at the University of Wisconsin. He is completing his certicated in family therapy at the Intensive Family Therapy Program in Boston.
You may still be managing work, relationships, and everything else on your plate — but it's taking more out of you than it used to. I offer warm, practical online therapy for adults across Massachusetts who are anxious, low, irritable, exhausted, or just not quite themselves, often while still holding everything together on the outside. I'm a bilingual, bicultural LICSW with eight years of clinical experience, including several years in medical and women's health settings. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.
I have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Springfield
Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Their bio can also help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or another style that fits what you want to work on.
Springfield is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be nearby, in a surrounding area like West Springfield, or available for virtual sessions across Massachusetts. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit more easily into work, school, or family schedules. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session format, and what to expect from the first visit.
Therapy in Springfield can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Springfield, review bios, 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.
