Alan-Michael (Professor C.) honors individuality and celebrates personal gains.
With over 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for psychiatry began early in my nursing career as I witnessed patients transform their lives through healing, self-discovery, and resilience. It is profoundly humbling meeting someone at their lowest point and having the privilege of walking alongside them as they do the work to become their best selves.
I work with adults ages 18 to 60 from all walks of life, with a special focus on individuals who are often overlooked, misunderstood, or silently struggling. Many of the people I work with appear “put together” on the outside—successful, dependable, and strong—while internally feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or barely holding it together.
I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to immigrant parents from Haiti, and my cultural background plays an important role in who I am as a provider. Being deeply connected to both Haitian and American cultures has given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for cultural identity, family systems, and the shared human experience. At the core, struggle looks very similar across cultures—and everyone deserves care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and compassionate.
Do you find yourself constantly second guessing your decisions, feeling anxious more often than not, or struggling to feel truly content in your own life?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self esteem struggles, and that persistent feeling of not being at peace with themselves. My approach starts with genuinely getting to know you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. Before we talk about treatment plans, I want to understand your story, what's weighing on you, and what a better life looks like for you.
In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Worcester

People often search for therapy in Worcester for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Worcester therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach align with what you want to work on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
Worcester has a range of therapy options across areas like Main South, Tatnuck, the Canal District, and nearby communities. You may prefer an office that fits your commute, or a virtual appointment that works better with your schedule.

Reading each therapist’s profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to discuss.
