Hello, I am a Licensed Social Worker and licensed Addiction Counselor. I worked as a School Social Worker in Pawtucket, RI and retired.

I believe … “Maybe sometimes we’re delicate and unsure, and we don’t know what we’re ready to want, so all that we’re looking for are people with good intentions towards us, hoping for gentle in the unknown.” - Butterfly Rising "All human actions are an attempt to meet needs." - Dr. Marshall Rosenberg “We all have baggage, but there comes a time when we need to unpack.” - Unknown “If the ocean can calm itself, so can you. We are both salt water mixed with air.” - Nayyirah Waheed Welcome, I’m Courtney Lamothe, Founder/Owner of Self-Awareness, Let’s Talk (SALT), quality of life coach and licensed clinical social worker. My focus is on mindfulness and a 7-year long practice I’ve coined, “Feelings Identification + Needs (FIN) Awareness” based on the teachings of Nonviolent Communication. As a fin helps to propel a fish through the water, I believe these practices help to propel us forward in life with more clarity, compassion, and connection. It’s practical for all and provides a new lens from which to understand all situations. Being aware of what we are feeling and needing is the foundation of self-awareness. When we can pinpoint the root reasons for our feelings, actions and reactions, we can better understand human behavior (our own and that of others). My focus aims to help bring clarity, which can bring compassion, and with compassion can come greater connection (again, with ourselves and others). And, I believe, connection is why we are all here. Together we will talk about your current stressors, feelings, strategies, and identify resulting unmet/met needs. From here we can intentionally connect dots, identify trends and strengths, acknowledge compounded unmet needs, and learn ways soften, ground, and welcome any feelings. This then positions you to create new strategies and goals in order to better meet your needs moving forward. Creating intentional change often requires repetition, practice, and accountability, and I am here to help with these as well. It is my hope that in working together, you will will create a more fulfilling, well-lived life in whatever way that looks to you. As someone who has previously worked in hospice for 13 years, I highly understand the value of this work. Please connect with me if you have a desire to live from a more curious, self-aware, regulated, kind, and connected place. May you find some comfort here.

18 years of experience as a mental health therapist

Hello and welcome. My name is Stephanie. I have been serving children, youth, and families in various professional settings for over 18 years. My skill set is diverse, and I believe in authenticity in practice, which involves tailoring treatment to meet each person’s unique needs. For 15 years, I was a dedicated Home-Based Therapeutic Service provider (HBTS) and Personal Assistance Services and Supports worker (PASS). In these roles, I supported children and teens with autism and other developmental abilities in achieving many different goals in many different settings. I became an expert in de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention, and behavioral therapy, including Applied Behavior Analysis. I also learned how to be a support system to caregivers and family members as they came to understand and accept a new diagnosis and subsequently, a new way of life. During graduate school, I interned at a middle school and Butler Psychiatric Hospital (each for one year). I focused my studies on clinical and therapeutic interventions. These experiences enabled me to refine my skills in different professional settings and learn new approaches to treatment, including psychiatric care/medication management, couples and group counseling, and trauma/grief counseling. In 2012, I graduated from Rhode Island College with a master’s degree in social work. I practiced clinical social work in Rhode Island for over 10 years and dedicated my time to Early Intervention and K-5 public education. I became an expert in play therapy, family therapy, and assessment and evaluation. My favorite part of these experiences was learning about different family systems/structures and child-rearing/educational practices, and empowering all of these individuals to reach their goals/fullest potential. In 2021, I acquired my K-12 School Guidance Counselor Certification and moved to my birth state where I have been working as a School Counselor for an online/Virtual Academy in southern AZ. I come to BetterHelp with the desire to continue “helping” people through the comfort and convenience of the virtual world. I place high value in establishing and maintaining positive therapeutic relationships with my clients. I will provide a non-judgmental, “safe space” for you to (1) reflect upon your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behavior, (2) learn to manage work, social and/or familial dynamics/conflicts, (3) process and/or prepare for change in your life, and/or (4) work to accomplish your own ideas and goals as you see fit. Your input and feedback will also be important in our journey together to ensure that our sessions are always tailored to best meet your needs. I wish that everyone could see their strengths and the capactiy that they possess to overcome life’s challenges. I look forward to collaborating with you. Remember, this is your unique healing journey...YOU deserve this. Best Regards, Stephanie (she/her)

8 years of experience as a mental health therapist

To all my Prospective Clients: Hello, I am Sherry ("Share") Friedman, I am a National l Board Certified Counselor (NCC), clinically licensed as a mental health counselor (LCMHC) in the states of Rhode Island, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I have over eight years of experience working as a psychotherapist from a Jungian (transformational and psychodynamic) clinical orientation. My counseling approach is holistic and multi-dimensional. This means exploring the biopsychosocial, emotional, cultural, energetic, spiritual, and cosmological influences that may be creating stress, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, relationship issues, and career challenges. In my background as a nurse, doula, and energy healer, I have also helped support women with postpartum depression and parents experiencing adjustment issues associated with their changing roles. As a psychotherapist with a warm, interactive counseling style, I tend to gravitate toward clinical assessment and listening skills based on "Listening with HEART" (Healing, Energy, Awareness, Resiliency, Transformation). I believe strongly in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), I am skilled at creating a safe space for my HSP clients and empowering them to discover and embrace their gifts of compassion and empathy with healthy boundaries. The ultimate goal of all therapy is transformation, so that we can exist as the highest, best version of ourselves. This typically involves finding one's life purpose and who we incarnated on this planet to become. Deeper self-discovery and getting to the root cause of pain requires a rare form of bravery. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take that first step toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! All the best, Sherry Ann Friedman, NCC, LCMHC, MA, MS Ed., MSCC

Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

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

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed East Providence therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in East Providence due to a higher cost of living. 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:

  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in East Providence?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a East Providence therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

East Providence therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of East Providence therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A East Providence therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in RI, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 02915 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a East Providence counselor?

Before seeing your East Providence therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy in East Providence.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

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 therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice from a therapist. A East Providence licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy with a East Providence counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist 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. A psychologist 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 psychologist in East Providence, Rhode Island 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.

East Providence has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
