Hi, I'm Trudy Carl, LICSW. I bring over 15 years of experience in social work, mental health, and human services, working with individuals, teens, families, and couples across community, healthcare, and correctional settings. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use, and re-entry after incarceration. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, helping clients build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.
Searching for a therapist is the first step toward a more resilient version of yourself. As an LGBTQIA+ Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I provide a space rooted in respect, sensitivity, and radical compassion. Whether you are navigating the heavy weight of burnout, the complexities of trauma, or the daily strain of anxiety and depression, I am here to help you find your footing. Transformation isn’t linear—there will be setbacks—but if you are ready to invest in yourself, I am ready to support you in every stage of the process.
I’m a bilingual (English/Español) Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy shouldn’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment. My clients are hardworking adults, professionals, and cycle-breakers who are tired of white-knuckling their way through the week. They come to me dealing with anxiety, massive burnout, ADHD, Autism, and the heavy weight of life transitions. They stay because I skip the clinical robot-speak and get straight to "real talk."
I know what it’s like to juggle impossible schedules, which is exactly why I designed my practice to fit yours. I offer weekend and late-evening virtual sessions so you don’t have to burn your PTO or stress about missing work just to take care of your mental health.
I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Massachusetts
Searching for therapists in Massachusetts starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across the state, options can vary between urban areas, suburban communities, and more rural regions, so it helps to focus your search early. You may want a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapeutic approach, and bio to see whether their training and style align with what you want from care.
Practical fit matters, too. If you live near Boston, Worcester, or Springfield, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts. Consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.
The cost of therapy in Massachusetts can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, may take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Browse therapists in Massachusetts, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
