Therapists in Taunton, MA

May is more than just the gateway to summer; it's a month dedicated to shining a spotlight on one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of our well-being: mental health. Mental Health Awareness Month serves as a reminder that mental health is a fundamental part of overall health and well-being. Just as we prioritize physical health through exercise, nutrition, and regular check-ups, we must also prioritize mental health through self-care, stress management, and seeking professional help when needed.

Therapy is an act of strength, hope, and resiliency. Even the happiest and most well-adjusted people may encounter problems resulting from unexpected life challenges and demands.

I have 15 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist. I received both my Master's degree and Continued Advanced Graduate Study Degree in Counseling Psychology from Cambridge College. I am also certified as a cognitive behavioral therapist from Boston University School of Social Work.

I firmly believe that change begins with you. Whatever the thing or event was that led you to seek out therapy, I want to first commend you for taking the first step. There are a variety of reasons someone might decide it's time to talk to a professional, including just wanting to have someone to talk to, and no reason is more valid than the other. Whether you are wanting to explore your past, learn effective communication skills, better manage your anxiety and/or depression, or if you're wanting to learn how to stay focused and complete tasks in a timely manner, I can help you with that.
