Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Westford, MA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been providing therapeutic services to youth, parents, and adults for over 30 years. Treatment settings include psychiatric hospitals, residential programs, schools, and community outpatient treatment centers. I received my Master of Science degree in Counseling from Fitchburg State University and earned a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University. Currently, I am only working with adults.

I could list all my accomplishments from the past 30 years, but that wouldn't give you a true sense of my style or beliefs. I strive to empathize, be respectful, and remain non judgemental. We all face worries, stresses, and challenges daily, and we all need someone who listens and understands. While family and friends can provide wonderful support, talking to someone with professional expertise and an outside perspective can be incredibly beneficial.

I see my role as creating a safe space a where you can explore what it means to be you. Within the therapeutic alliance, built on trust and safety, I will listen to your joys, fears, and pain with empathy and compassion, and offer you tools to thrive.

We offer a wide range of mental and behavioral health support ranging from introductory psychotherapy and psychoeducation, medication management and client referral. You are guaranteed to always feel welcome and at home. We utilize a holistic, non-judgmental and person centered approach to provide quality care to our clients in a calm and relaxed environment. We provide telehealth and office visits. Ijeoma or IJ, holds a Master's Degree in Nursing, and is board certified Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and in recent years, my practice has evolved to focus on the issues of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I treat clients of all ages, but my special interest in working with individuals in highly stressful work\school environments.

I work with individuals and people in relationships navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, relationship distress, parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. Together, we'll slow down enough to notice what has been difficult to see, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’m Tori, a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women and young adults ages 18–25 who are trying to find their way back—or forward—to themselves.

Many of the women I work with are the people everyone else counts on. They may be capable, caring, successful, and getting things done while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, low self-esteem, or the weight of past experiences. I also have extensive experience supporting women healing from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and sexual trauma.

I also love working with young adults navigating the messy transition into adulthood. You may be figuring out who you are, what you want, relationships and friendships, family dynamics, college or career, independence, or why everyone else seems to have adulthood figured out when you definitely do not.

I believe you already have strengths, resources, and parts of yourself worth trusting. Therapy can help you reconnect with those parts while building the confidence and tools to create a life that feels more authentically yours.

I love my job! I have supported children and families for over 30 years using a strengths based and trauma based model.

A bit about my educational journey: Upon Graduating from High School in Oregon, I headed East. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Communication Studies from Emerson College in Boston where I minored in Psychology. My Masters in Clinical Mental Health came years later from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA.

I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.
