Therapists in Boston, MA

Compassionate Healing is a group psychotherapy practice offering mental health services to clients in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Our therapists provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and families across the lifespan, with a particular focus in child, adolescent, and trauma-focused therapies and parenting support. We specialize in tailoring acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral treatments to support each client's unique needs and goals.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and client-centered. I believe in the healing power that exists within each individual, which is nurtured and strengthened within the context of our therapeutic relationship. I work with children, adults, and families who are facing complex struggles, including: parent-child relationship issues, transition to parenthood, postpartum difficulties, life transitions, behavior challenges, depression, anxiety, and more. My style is warm, empathic, and compassionate, and I work to create a safe environment to help you better understand and address the challenges you are facing.

When seeking a therapist, it is important to find someone with whom you can establish a point of connection and a deeper trusting relationship.

I have worked with people who have anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessions, compulsions, phobias, and panic.

Everyone I see for the first time simply wants to feel better. They are tired of being alone with their burdens and need help with the problems they are facing. Individuals want to be truly known and heard. I am an active and curious listener and I hope to help people to become more curious about themselves. I think of the first visit as a consultation. It is a time to share what you need help with and to see whether further work could be useful. As a therapist with 40 years of experience, I feel grateful to still love my work.

I believe people are experts in their own lives; my goal is to partner with you to find answers and solutions to address the challenges you are facing.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to create a collaborative space, where my patients feel safe to explore a range of topics. I have a particular interest in addressing feelings of anxiety, depression, and disconnect, and together we will explore how these feelings may impact broader life milestones, such as transitions in school and/or vocation, changes in relationships, and geographic re- location (immigration, adoption, or otherwise). I always consider how socio-political context affects your development and experience, and how these contexts intersect with the multifaceted aspects of one's identity.

For nearly two decades, I’ve provided individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducational program development to assist women, children and families to navigate the complexities of life, and fortify their own mental health.

Imagine actually enjoying therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals. Since therapy is an intense process that tackles intense issues, I believe it should also include authenticity, humor, and flexibility. I focus my teletherapy practice on adolescents, college students, and young adults in their 20s and 30s in Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut. I am energetic, creative, and hands-on and will work with you (and your child, if applicable) to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals.

Hello! My name is Greg Corbett and I am a LMHC in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working as a therapist on some level for the last 7 years. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the pleasure of having two separate internships; one at a rape crisis/domestic violence hotline and one at a substance use treatment center. Through these two internships, I was able to learn what it was like to be a therapist and discover that I wanted to continue to pursue my education to become a therapist myself.

Our thoughts sounds very different when said out loud, my goal is to provide a judgment free safe space where people can process these thoughts and feelings.
