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.

Binh Truong

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


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.

Carolann Farrell

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


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.
