Welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor providing outpatient therapy services to individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I completed my education and training from Boston University, receiving my M.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience ranging from emergency crisis work, inpatient level of care, outpatient settings, and school-based counseling.
Hi there! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while developing practical tools for growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices such as CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply looking to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to support you in moving toward healing and balance.
Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.
I am compassionate and eager to help my clients understand and overcome their struggles.
I work with clients who are ready to try something different — or who've tried talk therapy before and felt like something was still stuck.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating concerns, and emotional regulation. I'm trained in EMDR, which is particularly effective for trauma and PTSD — it helps process difficult memories in a way that doesn't require you to re-live every detail out loud. For clients who connect better through creativity than conversation, I also offer art therapy as part of our work together.
I work with adolescents and adults across Western Massachusetts via telehealth, with some of the most flexible scheduling in the area — mornings, evenings, and weekends available.
I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.
Dedicated to helping empower individuals as they navigate complicated & toxic relationships in their lives. Not limited to romantic partnerships, but include immediate & extended family, as well as in the workplace, chaos can come from any direction, I want to help you learn how to find your strength & peace you deserve.
I specialize in Narcissistic Abuse, Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. I have a laid back "let's put our feet up & chat" approach & am always excited to see you succeed!
If you are feeling lost, confused, and unhappy with the direction life is going, let's work together to address what is holding you back. "Finding My Potential" is something you are seeking; then let's work on ways to cope with challenging thoughts, identify skills you can use to move forward, look holistically at habits/lifestyle, and develop a road map that gets you on the path you were meant for. It is important to note that this approach is based on a treatment session connected to techniques and actions you will do between sessions. I look forward to working with you.
I have a broad background in therapy, having managed and worked as a therapist in a variety of services. As an individual therapist, I have done the most work with teenagers, children, and young adults. I have provided individual counseling to adults, families, and couples. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, with a commitment to outcomes.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Barbera. I have my license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and am a registered Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT). I specialize in creative therapy and nervous system regulation. I work with all ages and a variety of diagnosis. I view therapy as a collaborative practice.
My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions. Through working with a diverse range of clients, I’ve found that many women move through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in survival mode.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.
As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.
I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.
