Hi! I am a licensed psychologist, certified Master Addiction Counselor, and author. I have 20-plus years of experience working in private and public agencies, including hospitals, rehabilitation programs, and halfway houses. I have helped many people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, attachment, codependence, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have also taught counseling courses and provided clinical supervision at a college level. In addition to my Ph.D., in psychology from Boston University, I also have a post-doctorate in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (Sargent College, Boston University), as well as Certification in Rational Emotive Therapy. I am the author of several textbooks on addiction counseling: Mastering Addictions Counseling, and Addiction Counseling (publication by Crossroads, NY, NY. In addition, I have co-authored a book on Severe Mental Illness and Addictions (Boston University, Integrated Treatment for People with Co-occurring Disorders). My approach is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with empathy and respect. I am non-judgmental and genuine. My primary therapeutic approach is motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Motivational interviewing helps you identify what it is you value and from that starting point, what goals you are motivated to achieve. We work together to create a treatment plan adapted to your individual needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on your beliefs or thoughts and the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We know that by changing our beliefs, we can change our feelings and behaviors. "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to treat a wide range of issues. It's often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help you identify and cope with specific challenges. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy and is done in a structured way. (Mayoclinic, 2019). My approach includes a treatment plan and, usually, psychoeducation in the form of worksheets. It takes courage to seek a more purposeful and satisfying life and to take the first step toward change. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Terri, and I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2006. I have enjoyed my work since I received my Masters in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University, in Cambridge Massachusettes. That was almost 30 years ago, before most people used the term holistic counseling. To me, that means that you take every aspect of a human being into consideration when you have the privilege of being asked to join them in their process. I grew up in a small farming community in Minnesota and have lived in the Boston area since then. I love both, and wouldn't want to be labelled as "from" either. I am both and much more. We all are. I am not a believer in labels-everyone is unique, and we all share being human. That is the basis of my work. If it matters to you in your life, then it is important to our work. Whether you are dealing with a major life change, or needing to find more meaning and joy in your life, my goal is to understand all that you are. I have found it to be an honor to be invited into an individual's internal process, and I take my role very seriously-though I like to think I use humor when appropriate. Please feel free to check out all of my information and if you have a particular question, don't hesitate to ask. It is important to find a counselor you feel is a good fit for you and your style of communication. We are all a combination of our experiences, beliefs, values and perceptions. I want to understand yours before I presume to offer my suggestions. I have benefited immeasurably from the people I have worked with. I know what two people working together can do! I wish you the best in your search for the best counselor for you! Terri

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Developmental Psychology. I bring over 7 years of experience as a therapist and more than 25 years of experience as a coach. My career has taken me into school-based mental health, addiction treatment, residential care for children and teens, and outpatient settings supporting individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. This wide range of experience has given me a deep understanding of the many ways people struggle—and the many ways they can heal. I have supported clients working through depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction (including pornography), self-harm, anger management, and recovery from abuse. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and have extensive experience walking alongside people as they process and overcome painful life experiences. Therapy starts with your story. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to listen, understand, and help you move toward the goals that matter most to you. I provide a space grounded in respect, compassion, and dignity where you can feel safe to be yourself. I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Bowenian theory, and Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” therapy. Instead, we collaborate to create a plan that fits your needs, your values, and your pace. Life brings challenges that none of us are meant to face alone. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, managing stress, or wanting a clearer perspective on where you’re headed, I will be in your corner. Together, we’ll build practical strategies and lasting tools so you can move forward with confidence, resilience, and hope. I look forward to getting to know you, listening to your story, and supporting you as you work toward positive change.

I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship challenges. My counseling style is genuine and validating. I am passionate about building therapeutic rapport with individuals to help them identify strengths as they work towards achieving personal goals. I believe therapy consists of a collaborative relationship and therefore I welcome feedback and encourage individuals to be an active participant in their treatment. My approach to treatment combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I am intentional about educating individuals about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and highlighting the power of thoughts and self-talk. I am a Christian and I enjoy utilizing scripture to help individuals achieve wellness that will lead to greatness. I have experience with implementing bible plans in treatment to help individuals address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and purpose. I created a Christian mental wellness journal titled, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts.

Prayerful thoughts are thoughts rooted in scripture. The journal encourages the reader to challenge unhealthy thoughts with scripture and replace unhealthy thoughts with prayerful thoughts. I appreciate your interest in working with me and I am looking forward to listening to your story and building a therapeutic relationship. My mission is to help you achieve wellness that leads to greatness. Let’s get started!

I have experience working with a wide range of diagnoses such as anxiety., depression, ADHD, substance use, relationships conflicts, life changes, self esteem etc. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering and the outdoors.

If you’re looking for a highly structured, skills-only protocol, there are excellent therapists who specialize in that approach. My work is different. I focus on understanding how your way of being in the world shapes your reactions — so that change comes from clarity and choice, not just symptom management. We may use practical tools, but they are grounded in a deeper understanding of your lived experience.

You've made the first, most difficult steps of identifying what you need to talk about, knowing you need to talk to someone 'outside,' and taking the leap of contacting us. I live in Massachusetts and have counseled many in schools, hospitals, clinics and private offices over the years. This new online telehealth platform created by some very creative people offers you and I an opportunity to meet and talk outside of the hassles of scheduling, driving, parking and talking in an office with a counselor, then repeating the same every 'visit.' I'm eager to meet you in this new environment where we can get to know each other much more easily. I provide short term, solution focused, individual therapy of 2-12 sessions with BH members who have issues and needs that can be resolved, relieved or improved within the frames of time and focus of short term therapy. I have studied and worked with a number of therapy approaches, for example, CBT, DBT, solution focused, family systems and couples' therapy. I am better at describing them in person, virtually. I strongly believe that we have within us what we need to heal ourselves from the emotional pain experienced in pasts and presents, and grow as we become our better selves. I also believe that change comes from the power of the therapeutic alliance: working together to improve your life and circumstances, as much as my skills and your innate strengths.

As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes.

I'm particularly passionate about serving the LGBTQ+ community and creating a welcoming space for those exploring self-love, healing from shame, and developing stronger communication skills. My therapeutic approach is grounded in understanding each person's unique journey. Whether you're processing post-traumatic experiences, working through relationship transitions, or addressing body image challenges, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your authentic self and build meaningful strategies for personal growth. I believe in empowering clients to recognize their inherent strength and resilience. Together, we'll collaborate to develop personalized approaches that honor your individual experiences and support your path toward healing and self-discovery.

As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts, I bring 18 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical focus centers on helping clients work through stress, anxiety, life transitions, communication challenges, and social connections. I specialize in addressing issues like social anxiety, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and the profound emotional experiences surrounding major life changes such as divorce and separation. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help you explore underlying patterns, develop resilient coping strategies, and rediscover a sense of purpose and meaningful engagement. Through evidence-based practices, I aim to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, understand your unique strengths, and cultivate pathways toward personal growth and emotional well-being.

I’m a trauma-informed psychotherapist with experience supporting adults, young adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and longstanding emotional or relational patterns. My approach is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I draw from evidence-based and relational approaches including EMDR, family systems, attachment-focused work, and somatic awareness, while tailoring therapy to each person’s needs and personality. I believe therapy works best when clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood — not judged, pathologized, or pushed into a one-size-fits-all approach. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected from themselves or others, or caught in recurring patterns around relationships, self-worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shame, or anxiety. I also enjoy working with clients exploring identity, sexuality, family dynamics, creative burnout, multicultural experiences, and nontraditional relationship structures. My style tends to be warm, thoughtful, and conversational, while still helping clients build practical insight, emotional regulation skills, and meaningful change over time. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop a more grounded and sustainable relationship with yourself and others.
