ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Shelburne, VT

If you're looking for an out of the ordinary therapist, welcome to my "office"! I was born and raised in Springfield Massachusetts before moving to east Tennessee in 2011 and then northeast Vermont in 2021. So I understand "transplant loneliness" quite well in addition to other city to rural living dilemmas. I have a wide array of lived experience in addition to my education and am able to bring it all to the table to better assist you on your journey. I am only human and I do not know more about you than you, but we can work together to find the solutions to the issues that trouble you. I am here to dig out the answers you seek from within. Side note: I have experience with various types of relationships within the internet/gaming/pop culture/geek/nerd/neurodiverse/LGBTQ/spiritual and alternative communities as well cultural diversity.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

At the core of my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) practice is a profound sense of respect and awe for how resilient we are as humans. Our capacity to endure the good, the bad, and the ugly that the universe throws our way, and our ability to come out the other side stronger, more confident, and more self-aware is the lived reward and heart of my care. As no stranger to having overcome my own life's trials and tribulations, I view my patients in their unique space with respect, curiosity, compassion, and hope. I feel honored for the opportunity to join and bear witness to your own journey of growth and wellness. I approach my psychiatric care from two decades of critical care work both as an EMT and RN, in hospital and in the field. Evidence based medicine is the cornerstone of my practice and I believe strongly in empowering my patients with both education and choice in their care. I am a proud Norwich University graduate and welcome all patients to my practice, particularly the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, and immigrants.
