In life, it’s hard to find the perfect fit. Sometimes, we take anything we have, be it a career or another life choice, even if it doesn’t fit you. This can affect your mental state, and because you're struggling, you find it hard to change yourself, creating a tough cycle to break. What can one do if they're faced with a situation such as this one? One thing that can help you is by talking to a counselor who is based in Worcester. 

Worcester used to be known for its glove making. In life, you need to find something that fits you just like a glove. This can be quite the tough task to accomplish, but by finding someone who can provide guidance and mental healthcare, you can achieve your perfect fit.

I am trained and experienced in both individual and group therapy. In both these venues I place my greatest value on the exploration and development of the relationship — the bond that’s developing between me and you, the client. This is because I feel that our relationship is the blood flow that will determine by its very health the success of whatever theories and interventions are employed. I am a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working both abroad and in the US in vocational rehabilitation and individual and group psychotherapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, social anxiety, intimacy, life transitions, career challenges, and physical disability, among others. From day one of our meetings I will make every effort to, non-intrusively, get a sense of you as a whole person, with integral parts that hold strengths and passions as well as disappointment and pain. Creating the kind of safety in our interactions that will allow us to be honest, genuine, and collaborative will build a foundation for courageously making inroads in becoming self aware, seeing options, and making life changes. I am fortunate to be able to limit my case load in size leaving more time for thinking and planning creatively, for and with, those with whom I will have the pleasure to serve.

It is only in our darkest hours. that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed. Doe Zantamata I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, licensed in the state of Massachusetts (MA 4422) and Berlin, Germany. I have extensive experience in clinical practice, consulting, and teaching, and am also licensed as a Wellness coach. Most of the people I have encountered in my work are in some of their “darkest hours.” The main goal of my clinical practice has been to assist them in discovering and developing strengths which help rekindle the light within themselves. I have had the privilege of developing warm, trusting, active and successful working relationships with many people over the years. After many years of work as a Clinical Psychologist, I continue to have a strong passion for this work which allows me to experience up close amazing human journeys from darkness to light, and to bear witness to the ingenuity, resilience, creativity, strength, and power of people. My professional career has involved work with a wide diversity of individuals and groups across the age span and in a variety of environments; including private practice, family counseling, mental health facilities, and academic institutions, such as the University of Erlangen, Germany Mental Hospital, the Veteran’s Hospital Mental Health Unit, Nashville, TN, McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, the Boston University Overseas Program in Germany, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, the Alice Solomon Technical University, Berlin, Germany, the Center for Continuing Education and Professional Development, Lexington, KY, and the US Army Health Clinic, Schweinfurt, Germany. My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress and crisis management, trauma treatment, and multi-cultural issues. While I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness theory and practices are central to my work. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition to my clinical work, I regularly conduct seminars and workshops, addressing topics such as cognitive-behavioral psychology, coping strategies for foreigners in Germany, stress and anger management, Mindfulness, and Mental Health education. My passion for Mental Health education and promoting holistic well-being extends to my role as a writer and founder of Reach Well, an innovative Wellness program designed to empower individuals in their personal and professional lives. I seek to establish with each client a safe, kind, respectful and accepting atmosphere in which we can hopefully build a trusting, collaborative, and supportive working relationship. The unique needs, desires, personality, personal styles, and preferences of clients provide central guidelines for my clinical decisions and interventions. However, my aim with each client to take them on a journey of healing and strength building which will: (1) reduce current emotional distress and maladaptive patterns, and (2) promote future mental health and well-being through increases in self-awareness, self-care, knowledge, coping skills, and resilience. Native to Kentucky, I am the mother of two children and fluent in French and German languages. I have been a life-long active participant in both national and international service initiatives as evidenced by my volunteer work with the Red Cross Disaster Mental Health Service, immigrant populations, and my prior role as a Peace Corps Volunteer, Tchad, Africa.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Worcester area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Worcester due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Worcester may not take health insurance, some in the state of Massachusetts may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Massachusetts you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail.

Is mental health care and therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Worcester, Massachusetts can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
