Lesbian Therapists in Greenfield, MA

I believe that the journey toward becoming authentically oneself is among the most important work we do. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. Putting language to complex internal experiences, forging connections, and examining clearly and without shame or judgment the places where stuckness happens are often crucial parts of this process. I work with clients to explore all aspects of identity, focusing on gender and identity development but also intersections of experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, and dysregulation of mood.

While facing life transitions, coping with loss, exploring the past, preparing for the future, or navigating a host of mental, emotional, and physical human experiences, my clients seek therapy to safely establish healthy patterns, thoughts, and change. Clients tell me our work creates a healing relationship that fosters long term change as well as resolve of past traumas and conflicts "instead of a band-aid approach." We'll collaborate and create a tailored approach to meet your needs. I am welcoming to communities of color. You will receive empowering, holistic psychotherapy whether trans/cis, queer, heterosexual, or LGBTQI2PA.

Welcome! I currently have space in my online Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practice Groups, and some openings for couples. I approach couples and group work with the intention of exploring each person's complexity and internal conflict. IFS lets us view conflicting parts with open-hearted curiosity. The groups offer hands-on IFS activities to strengthen your relationship with all parts of you. To learn more please contact me via the email link. I currently only see new individual clients who have completed an IFS group.

I have been interested in transformative Consciousness work since the early 1970's and have extensive training in both Freudian and Jungian psychology, and varities of Mindfulness Practice. I practiced psychotherapy in greater Boston from 1973 through 1991 and then came to California to study with a Jungian teacher who studied with Carl Jung, M.D., in Zurich Switzerland in the mid 1950's! I currently combine meditative practice with the best multi-modal psychotherapy practices in order to help clients gain the maximum advantage in their lives!

I offer compassionate, attentive, thoughtful counseling in the context of the relationship I build with my clients. I see our work as a collaborative endeavor that centers clients as the experts on their own lives and looks at problems as separate from people. I am interested in the stories of people's lives, creative responses to problems we encounter, and how our relationships with ourselves and others shape our sense of self and belonging. I believe in the healing power of the creative process, and can include the arts and movement into my work if that is something my client would like to explore.

I blend alternative therapeutic models with the latest research in epigenetics, insights from ancient spiritual traditions, wisdom from earth-based living, and embodied rituals to create processes that shift your relationship to suffering, sorrow, or emotional challenges and open you into deeper connection with your true self and harmony with life. I am affirming of LGBTQ+, poly/ENM, and kink identities. I use anti-oppression, anti-racist, ecopsychology & trauma-informed frameworks to support individual and collective liberation.

Prioritizing your mental health by entering psychotherapy offers the opportunity to work on challenges in life and begin the process of self-discovery and healing. It is this process that allows you to get to the root of your emotional challenges through a therapeutic relationship where you can get help reaching solutions and learn new ways of problem-solving. I will help sort out and manage difficulty in relationships, feelings of depression and anxiety and identity issues. Many of my clients have issues with long term relationships and I offer the support they need to manage these situations.

Welcome! I'm a remote therapist based in Western Mass and seeing clients in MA and NY. I love connecting deeply with my clients and understanding their life stories, past experiences, relationships, and identities. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that you are the expert of your own story. I imagine you in the driver's seat and me in the passenger seat, with you every step of the way, holding the map and offering guidance and support, but understanding that the real growth comes from you.

I believe it takes strength and courage to seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which you can explore attitudes and beliefs/patterns which get in the way of accomplishing your full potential and fully engaging in life. I utilize techniques from positive psychology, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and dialectal behavioral therapy to connect my clients with their "true, inner selves," something which we most often lose touch with as we go about our lives in this often unpredictable and stressful world. I also believe in the power of humor and laughter as tools in the healing process.

I am a LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with 13 years of experience working with adults with depression, anxiety, codependency, relationship issues, and PTSD. I have many years of experience working with adults who come from families with substance abuse issues. I enjoy working with women who are having struggles around parenting and relationships. I also worked with children and families for years. I was the supervisor of a foster family agency. Due to this I am well versed in issues around parenting, adoption and children who have experienced foster care.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years experience. I work with adults of all ages. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or traumatic histories. I also have experience assisting people with many other issues. I see my first job as therapist to be establishing a relationship with you, within which you will feel accepted, comfortable, and safe. I will work to ask good questions, and to assist and empower you in discovering how to create the positive changes you seek.

Every one of us is capable of deeply shifting our experience to ultimately live the life we most want. While life events can take us off track, the way we meet those unfolding moments creates our path. Too often we harden, and as we armor ourselves we become cut off from our own extraordinary inner healing capacities. Habitual thoughts and behaviors manifest in response to painful and difficult experiences, clouding our ability to truly see without constraint. We all have the ability to cut through those clouds, to feel more awake and alive, and to become the best version of ourselves.

I am a caring, psychodynamically trained therapist who believes in the power of the relationship in healing and in helping to alter negative patterns. I provide psychotherapy services for adults, adolescents, families, couples, and seniors.

I treat clients with respect and offer the support of an unconditional and positive therapeutic relationship. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are healing from the effects of complex and challenging life events (i.e. traumas).

I take a collaborative, active approach to individual & relationship therapy to help clients become unstuck from ruts, break old unhealthy patterns, communicate more effectively, resolve relationship crises, and learn more about themselves as partners and as people. Clients come to me for therapy in all states: fine-tuning an otherwise happy union, distraught after trust has been broken, considering a break-up, recovering from an affair, or just wanting to learn new relationship skills.

**All appointments are by telehealth for the foreseeable future.** Therapy is, of course, serious business, though it is also at its best when the process feels fun and engaging. The work of therapy may be serious, but it has long been my philosophy as a clinician to approach that work with my whole self--including humor, creativity, and playfulness. In bringing my whole self to our work together, I hope to invite you to do the same. As a partner in your therapy, I can help guide you to focus on the things that matter most to you while navigating the thoughts, emotions, and feelings that always seem to stand in the way.

As a therapist, I work to understand how each person’s particular struggles and stuckness come about. Our struggles, as well as our stories, emotions, and values, have a lot to teach us. I believe that we each know something about how to heal, and we can access the strongest, most creative parts of ourselves through authentic and safe relationships. I can help you explore patterns in your emotions, stories, and relationships, and find energy to shift your habits toward what is most meaningful and important to you.

Hi! I am passionate about working from a strengths based perspective with adults who are inspired to create a life filled with meaning, clarity, confidence, groundedness and joy. Wild Core Coaching LLC emerged from the belief that human beings naturally have an inherent drive towards their most authentic, deeply true self. My role is to guide the collaborative process of navigating the layers that cloak one's core. By engaging in the process of unraveling old stories, challenging our limiting beliefs and unlocking our ability to thrive, we are able to create an identity that rings true, regardless of the world around us.

If you are struggling to hold all the pieces together, experiencing stress over career, relationships, or life goals - you don't have to do it alone. Choosing to work with a therapist is a way of investing in yourself. It is time, set aside solely for you. We all carry the the imprint of our early experiences, our adaptive responses that helped us survive. You can benefit from letting go of coping strategies or defenses that are no longer serving your best self. Through a process of building insight, acceptance, and awareness, we will travel a path of healing old wounds, so that you can freely engage in the present.
