Therapists in Melrose, MA

Talking to someone can really help....It's hard to take that first step...I believe everyone has the desire to grow and be healthy and happy. I am committed to working with clients in a confidential and effective manner, one that is solution-focused and respectful of values and choices. My clients describe me as warm, authentic and empathic. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have a Masters of Business Administration. My specialties are Individual Counseling as well as Personal and Career Coaching. My style is interactive and collaborative. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or are unhappy with your job, relationship or life in general I can provide a nurturing and encouraging environment. I can help you to explore solutions and can help you gain confidence and self-esteem needed for personal fulfillment and success. I have over 20 years experience assisting clients improve their lives. I believe that being comfortable talking to your therapist is the most important starting point in counseling.

I provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment in which my clients can explore the issues and challenges they face. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic partnership to help uncover the strengths and resources we all possess in order to bring about the changes we desire in our lives. I feel privileged to be able to offer my assistance to others on this shared journey and commend you for reaching out for help to make things better. I have always been a “helper” and over the years have worked in a variety of capacities in schools, hospitals, community service agencies, primary care offices, and as a mother to three children and two big dogs. I believe that each role has helped me to better understand the issues my clients face in their own lives. I hold a Master’s degree in counseling psychology from Boston College, as well as a Certifications in Integrated Behavioral Health for both Pediatrics and Primary Care. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused and strength-based therapy to help my clients deal with life changes, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, and job stress, to name a few. I believe in using humor, relaxation training, and mindfulness techniques to help my clients as we work together to reach their goals. I fully believe that my clients are the expert on determining their needs and guiding their work.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified psychoanalyst and executive coach specializing in helping people thrive through life and work transition. Having been a counselor for more than 16 years, I have re-created my own professional identity through three significant careers: from teacher (public, private elementary) to sales and marketing executive (telecom, advertising) to psychotherapist in private practice (worklifetogether.com). It is never too late to find a path to greater vitality, emotional vigor and sense of self. I offer guided assistance and an emotionally supportive relationship that clears obstacles and makes room for an authentic sense of greater potential and future in work and life. Some of those obstacles may be a loss of confidence, changes in your present work environment, relationships, and a long-felt lack of engagement. Facing these obstacles, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious and depressed. I offer therapeutic support, a way to regulate negative emotions and a path to resilience. (Please note, I am not available for sessions after 5pm or on weekends)..

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I am bilingual in English/Spanish and place a lot of importance in providing multicultural mental heath care. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship, career and self-esteem challenges. My approach is collaborative and respectful. I believe that every person has the strength and resilience within themselves to overcome adversity. However, sometimes when we feel stuck, it can be helpful to work with a mentor/guide/coach to move forward. As a mother of 2 daughters, I am passionate about helping women in all stages of life. In my “spare” time, I enjoy Crossfit, Audible books and far too many true-crime podcasts. I know that it takes a immense courage to take the first step in the journey of change. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you, and work collaboratively on creating the life you want.

Hello and thank you for reaching out! What I will bring to this venture is 30 plus years of experience, providing person-centered, strength based and trauma informed therapy to adults with a wide range of presenting concerns. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and am a Licensed Therapist. Together we will lay the groundwork for connection and trust. I am dedicated to creating a safe environment, reflecting validation, acceptance and affirmation, as well as solid guidance. When pain, loss, fear, anger, and indecision are shared, these emotions become understood as part of a person's unique story. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, recognizing relationship or career patterns that seem self-defeating, or facing more intense and debilitating symptoms associated with panic/anxiety, depression, distorted thoughts, PTSD, substance use, or other self-defeating habits, I can provide a calm presence and the expertise to facilitate movement through the stuck places toward self-acceptance and actualization.
