Therapists in West Newton, MA

Please feel free to call if you are looking for support or therapy. I am available to work with anyone who resides in Massachusetts. All sessions will take place online using a telehealth devise utilizing communication on a computer, tablet or phone.

I am a "generalist" and clinically serve individuals, couples and families across all phases of development (from pre-teens and adolescents through to older adults). Psychotherapy is a process designed to increase general mental health and well-being by clarifying goals and values, strengthening psychological weaknesses, and learning more effective and sophisticated strategies to better manage emotional, social and internal (e.g. thoughts) life. Through a gentle but focused conversational style, I utilize the latest clinical research and theory to construct a collaborative and personally-tailored treatment plan that aims for symptom relief and performance enhancement.

I'm a licensed and board certified psychologist (ABBP-Counseling) specializing in individual therapy with adults in Boston, MA. I earned the Ed. D in Counseling Psychology at the UMASS-Amherst in 1980 and have been a licensed & practicing psychologist since 1981. I earned the MFA (Creative Writing, Literature & Publishing) from Emerson College-'94. It's challenging to work with people who are eager to express their creativity. My nearly 30 years as a forensic psychologist affords me insights to help those coping with legal issues, grief, loss, relationship and career stress.

I believe life is a journey and we are all looking for something; happiness, peace of mind, fulfillment, growth. I think of myself as the guide on your journey, but I believe that you have the power, the wisdom, and the strength to find your own way to get where you want to go. Thoreau said, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, and live the life you have imagined in quiet hours." It is my intention to help you imagine the life you want and to make the necessary changes you need to pursue your dreams.

If you are ready to take the next step on your journey whether it's dealing with anxiety or depression, family issues,overcoming a loss, or making important decisions about your future, I will help guide you through your process. Together we will examine your concerns, your fears and your hopes and map out a plan to get you there. As a Psychologist I will work with you on many levels with compassion and respect. Also, if you have questions about your relationships with peers or family members, divorce, creative endeavors, children or elderly parents, I look forward to helping you.

I am a psychologist in practice for over twenty-five years, working with children, adults, teens, and families. My approach is interpersonal and attachment-oriented, but I also use concepts and techniques from meditation and mindfulness disciplines.

Currently I am primarily working with adults and couples in remote teletherapy sessions.

I am a Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) with over 15 years of experience assisting individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and addiction. I have worked with patients who have endured emotionally stressful experiences and I recognize the importance of having a supportive guide to help you through the journey to healing and recovery. I use my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support a patient-centered model that I have developed for individualized care. I work with ages 14 + and I pride myself on the ability to connect with my patients on a personal level and instill hope.

I am trained as a child psychologist and am also an individual and couple's therapist.

I am a very laid-back, open-minded, kind person. I have a fierce sense of purpose in the work I do. I do a very detailed assessment and treatment plan building.

I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, sexuality and relationship issues and other major life adjustments. I offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere in which clients may take control of their lives and move toward a greater sense of satisfaction. I utilize mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, among others, to individually support clients in boosting the self-confidence needed to overcome life's many obstacles. I offer support for those working on life day-by-day, and help others achieve their long-term goals by creating paths to get there, and enjoying the journey along the way.

Morning and early afternoon availability only at this time. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and help you navigate through life, especially in these trying times. I’ve found that sometimes it helps to voice the thoughts that might be taking up space in your mind and process it one step at a time. It takes time to build a relationship and I hope that we’re able to get to know one another and work together with success. I aim to be as open and understanding about the obstacles you might be facing and rely on our work together to empower change.
