Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!

I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment. Since 2022 I have worked as an outpatient counselor working with a range of clients from ages 6 to adult. I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.

Therapist

I bring an authentic presence to the therapeutic partnership, and am prepared to meet you where you are at- it's your time, so I value human-centered work. My approach is often described as relaxed, nonjudgmental and meaningful, but dynamic enough to adapt to the specific needs of my clients.

As a licensed social worker with over 11 years of experience across diverse populations

and life challenges, I have developed a deep understanding of how person, environment,

and context all shape our wellbeing. I have supported individuals and families navigating

anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and questions of identity. My approach

is strength-based at its core: I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to

help you build on what already works while navigating what feels stuck. I am now focused

on supporting adults in individual therapy, and I would love to connect with you.

Virginia Roth

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I'm a Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over ten years of experience supporting children, teens, and families across community health and pediatric hospital settings. Much of my work has centered on adolescents, youth involved in the justice system, families navigating multiple systems of care, perinatal mental health, and end-of-life work. I also hold a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). Beyond direct clinical work, I've led program development and evaluation for initiatives serving LGBTQIA2S+ communities and Latinx and Indigenous youth. Before becoming a social worker, I worked as an Intervention Specialist, supporting middle and high school students with learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and significant mental health needs. Across all of this, one belief stays constant: you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with respect, curiosity, and genuine care.
