ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Worcester, MA

As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.

I do my best work with adolescents and adults. My experience spans over 30 years. I focus on each person's strengths and provide support by bolstering their resilience and courage. Together we move toward change and greater health.

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

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing medication

management and therapy for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. I treat ADHD,

depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and related conditions. I also work with adults with autism

spectrum disorder and ADHD, providing diagnostic clarification and ongoing treatment within

general psychiatric care. I offer in-person and telehealth visits and focus on collaborative,

evidence-based, and individualized care.

With twenty years experience, I am passionate in working with adults, couples and children around relationship needs, family dynamics, and developing a stronger sense of self as a person, partner and/or parent.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, providing comprehensive mental health care across diverse populations. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health emergency settings, partial hospitalizations, IOP, recovery care, community psychiatric care. I also have experience supporting dually diagnosed patients with co-occurring medical conditions, giving me a broad perspective on the complex interplay between mental and physical health.

I earned my PMHNP degree from Post University and hold PMHNP licensure in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to evidence-based care, while continuously seeking opportunities for professional development and growth in the mental health field.

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 am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. There are credentials I could list and ways for you to assess why I am the right clinician for you, and while those things matter, what I find most true is this: I care deeply about this work.

Finding the right therapist is hard, and on behalf of all therapists, I'm sorry this is true. I won't promise a "safe space" for the people I work with, but I can promise an accountable one. I am committed to learning alongside you, knowing that we will teach each other what comes next. I will create the container for our work, and together, I hope to build a foundation of trust that allows you to heal, grow, challenge, accept, and integrate all that has brought you here.

Many people who come to see me are living with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, or are processing and healing from past trauma. You might be going through a major life transition or find your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You might feel stuck, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. Investing in therapy can be difficult when there are so many other things that demand your attention. My role is to help you explore what is important to you, what is getting in the way, and make realistic, actionable steps towards your goals.

Disclaimer: My current role as an Access Clinician at Harvard University Health Services allows me to work with folx from all walks of life. I hold a small caseload in my private practice to focus on my clinical interests. Due to my role, I do not see any actively enrolled Harvard students in my private practice. However, this means you can see me at CAMHS for short-term counseling.
