Menachem Stulberger
I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

Hello! Let me tell you a bit about me. I have worked in the mental health field for 25 years. I am a licensed mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts and have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Framingham state University. I have worked in a outpatient mental health clinic, home based therapy, a day treatment hospital and several school settings. My belief is the therapeutic bond of client and therapist is most significant throughout therapy. I believe strongly in the active participation of the client in his or her therapy. It is your therapy, it is all about You! The client needs to be heard and validated. The client needs to explore his or her feelings in the safest most comfortable setting. The client will feel the unconditional support and empathy from me, the therapist. My clients will explore their feelings and gain insight into the decisions they choose and slowly make changes for greater emotional happiness. I use a combination of several therapies. I have found The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with aspects of the Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy work well with the client who is a active participate in their therapy. I encourage mindfulness and physical exercise throughout my therapy. As a therapist, I am never stuck on one therapy that is not helpful. I will pull elements from the Emotion Focused Therapy as well as the Narrative Therapies. My aim is to find just the right appropriate therapy for each unique client. The goal of Therapy is to help YOU explore You!!! The end goal for each client is to find peace and emotional stability. The client needs to feel comfortable in his or her own skin. I have a history of working in individual, family and couple therapy. My clients have often exhibited anxiety, depression, trauma as well as dealing with life issues, divorce, death of a loved one, suicidal ideation and relationship issues. As therapy progresses my client have verbalized a increased self esteem. The client recognizes and gains an understanding of his feelings which leads to greater contentment.

Jonathan Donahue
Hello! I often tell people that when choosing a new therapist, pick one that has had lots of therapy themself. I have! It's important to be aware of one's own issues in order to be effective in helping others, and to know what it's like to be in 'the other chair'. Through my own work I have also become aware of many pertinent resources that I enjoy sharing with my clients: books, groups, techniques, movies, and other providers that may be of help. I am very knowledgeable of addiction, trauma, sleep issues, relationship struggles, depression, and anxiety. My relationship with each client is different; some are playful and humorous, others very serious. I am good at both!

Julia Lachman
**Please read entire profile before deciding whether to directly request my services.** Hey there, my name is Julia and I earned my LICSW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) degree 17 years ago in Massachusetts. I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual assault and am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat depression and anxiety. I have experience in helping clients (mainly young adults) with stress, coping with life changes, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. I want to acknowledge and honor your efforts to reach out for support. I agree that you deserve it and I’m glad you know you don’t have to continue feeling this way. If you’re looking for a genuinely warm, collaborative and highly structured therapist, I may be a great fit for you as you work towards your goals. A quick overview of CBT- I work with clients to identify negative/unhelpful thoughts that contribute to negative and overwhelming emotions. Together, we will work to unlearn those thoughts and beliefs, and replace them with more reality-based and helpful thoughts and beliefs. Over time, you will feel more in control and experience an improved mood overall. I carry a lot of hope for my clients and see progress towards their goals especially when they are able to continue the work outside of therapy sessions. Thus, in an effort to set you up for a better week in between our sessions, each time we meet we’ll determine together what action steps will get you closer towards your goals between sessions as well. Additionally, I am available to message between sessions and I will typically follow up with clients within 24 hours. If you’re ready to partner with a therapist who will be supportive and encouraging during this difficult and important work, I encourage you to schedule a video session so we can begin our work together and you can start feeling better- as you need and deserve. ***I want to note that I do not specialize in treating postpartum depression/anxiety, substance misuse and/or suicidal thoughts. Thus, if you have ever struggled with experiencing any of the above- even if it's not the main issue of concern- I strongly encourage you to to connect with a therapist who has that area of expertise to provide you with the highest quality support that you deserve. Also, my therapeutic training typically doesn't align with a handful of sessions that EAP provides. Lastly, I do not provide court-ordered therapy.***

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through.

In Massachusetts, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Massachusetts, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
