Lael St Tripp

Lael St Tripp

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I've spent 12 years working almost exclusively with teens and young

adults — the age ranges that are often the hardest to reach and the

most underserved. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, and

I'm trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is an evidence-based

approach specifically designed for young people carrying past

experiences that are still affecting the present.

I offer telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, and I specifically

schedule evenings and weekends — because teens are in school and

young adults are at work when most therapists have open slots. I

provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ teens and young

adults, and I've worked with identity and coming-out concerns for

many years.

I accept insurance through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross

Blue Shield, Cigna EAP, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare —

including EAP plans, which many young adults have access to

through a parent's employer even into their mid-twenties.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.
