Hi, I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC I) with over a decade of experience supporting adults through challenges like anxiety, addiction, burnout, and major life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Social Work and have worked in both clinical and supervisory roles. My approach is open-minded, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity—I don’t show up with judgment, just a real desire to understand what’s going on and walk alongside you toward the life you want. I blend humor, compassion, and directness, and I aim to create a space that feels both safe and empowering. Whether you're navigating stress, rethinking old patterns, or just need someone to talk to who gets it, I’m here for that.
I am a psychotherapist, licensed in Massachusetts. I work with children/adolescents (8 years and older), and young adults. I have experience working with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing issues with trauma/PTSD, divorce/separation, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, dual diagnosis, behavioral issues, family concerns and those who identify as LGBTQ. To inquire about availability please send me a message. Now offering Walk & Talk therapy (please message me for details).
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and art therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, emotional highs and lows, and complicated relationships with alcohol or drugs.
My background in art therapy means there is always another way in when words feel like too much. Creative approaches are optional, but available for those who want them.
Outside of the office, I crochet, travel, go to concerts, and practice flow arts. That curiosity and creativity carries into how I work with clients.
My name is J.J. Mull -- I'm a clinical social worker and therapist in private practice. I trained and Smith College School for Social Work and received advanced training in psychoanalytic treatment at Cambridge Health Alliance through Harvard Department of Psychiatry. Since finishing my training, I have worked in a wide range of settings with people struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, significant trauma, and many other issues. In addition to my clinical work, I am a writer, poet, and researcher and have been a professor in the Masters in Social Work program at Smith College for 4 years.
Life can bring moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—whether from anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, or loss of direction. You may feel stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward emotional clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind your challenges and help you move toward a calmer, more balanced, and empowered version of yourself.
I’m a caring and nonjudgmental therapist who believes everyone deserves a safe space to be heard and supported. I work alongside my clients with compassion, helping them navigate challenges and discover what helps them feel their best. Nothing makes me happier than seeing people grow, heal, and reach their goals!!
Hello, my name is Carolann and I am looking forward to working with you! As human beings, we experience peaks and valleys within our lives that may result in various experiences and feelings. When things are going well, we can feel happy, content, thankful, and even elated. When things are not going well, we can feel down, sad, overwhelmed, and alone. We all deserve to live with the most happiness possible within our lives, but life often brings with it enormous unwanted challenges that result in bringing us down. If you are not feeling emotionally/mentally well as you desire, I am here to help you!
I have over 25-years’ experience in the behavioral health field using my various skills within providing individual, family, and couples therapy, clinical case management and clinical supervision. My therapeutic style is eclectic as I adapt my work in therapy sessions according to your needs. "Believing in yourself is a great first step!"
Some of my techniques include DBT, CBT, (TF-CBT), motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, family dynamics, interpersonal/relational advocacy & therapy, and clinical case management. I am very client centered and desire for you to feel comfortable throughout our time on your therapeutic journey.
Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.
