Welcome!
Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.
My name is Lori Torre, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since graduating from Stony Brook University in 2009 I have had a variety of experiences working in the mental health field including mental health housing, a community clinical setting and private practice. I have experience working with clients who experience struggles related to depression, anxiety, family dynamics, relationships and trauma. I truly love what I do, and I am passionate about helping others.
Hello! My name is Cathy Randolph and I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I developed my passion for mental health during my journey working with veterans in residential PTSD and Substance abuse programs. My specialties include, but are not limited to treating and managing PTSD, Substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorder. I am also a Medicinal Marijuana clinician.
Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
I’m an experienced licensed mental health counselor and I believe that meaningful therapy starts with a genuine human connection. The relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of my work and I strive to create a space that feels warm, comfortable, and free of judgment. I bring curiosity, compassion, and humor into the room and I focus on attuning to each client’s unique needs so therapy feels personal, collaborative, and real.
While I aim to be supportive and affirming, I also believe growth often requires gentle challenge. I work to help clients notice patterns, stretch beyond what feels familiar, and engage honestly with themselves—always at a pace that feels respectful and manageable. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person or couple I work with. I’m trained in EMDR and also draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, with areas of focus that include trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, and identity. Whether you’re looking to heal, gain insight, or make meaningful change, I’ll walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and intention.
I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.
I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.
I have over 8 years clinical experience working with a variety of populations in a variety of community mental health settings. My have a person-centered approach to treatment and provide warmth, empathy, empowerment and support to my clients as they work to overcome their challenges and improve their life.
I’m a Clinical Social Worker with more than 32 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, school stress, and major life transitions. I also specialize in crisis intervention, parenting support, digital wellness, and social media-related concerns. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Medford
Searching for therapists in Medford starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Medford therapists, look for specialties listed in each profile and note the therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they structure sessions and what working together may look like.
In a smaller community like Medford, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across licensed New York therapists. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual sessions because they fit more easily with work, school, caregiving, or transportation needs. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Medford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated session costs before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
