Therapists in West Newton, MA

It is hard to seek help when we are feeling anxious, confused, or lost. Figuring out who we are and what we want can be very challenging. Psychotherapy can help when, because of specific circumstances, history of trauma, or during life transitions, we experience feelings of worthlessness, panic, loneliness, or emptiness.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

I was a guidance counselor for over ten years in the public school system.

Therapy is one of the most loving practices we can gift ourselves. It is brave and powerful to look inwards, meet parts of ourselves we’ve tucked away, and share our inner world. We all have parts of us that resist change, uncomfortable emotions, vulnerability, and owning our truths. And we also have parts of us that are yearning to speak up, to be free, and to feel confident in our ability to manage life’s many ebbs and flows. I join you in the process of growth and self-reflection with warmth, empowerment, and acceptance as we discover the most authentic versions of you.

Buongiorno & Good Morning! Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of feelings, learning how to manage them, and being able to find healthy ways to express your inner self. Therapy is a safe space and confidential process that through time, consistency and work together will allow you to identify and develop a healthy voice to express difficult feelings. Connection and Bonding in therapy promote resiliency, stimulating and feeding the mind. Feeling heard, being seeing, feeling that we have a purpose in life is a vital, indispensable healing and nurturing process of psychotherapy.

We are a group of Clinical and Health Psychologists, offering individual, couple and family care live (in Boston) and online throughout the US and Europe. We meet our clients where they are -including students, new parents, busy entrepreneurs, professionals transitioning into new leadership or retirement, persons coping with an illness, and more- with therapy including CBT, DBT, ACT, and Interpersonal/Existential modes, and Coaching for health and life transitions. Our diverse team offers care in several languages and modalities.

I work with people on improving relationships, health, and career as well as navigating big life moments and creative endeavors. Over years of clinical work, I found that people made huge leaps forward between sessions when we emailed back and forth, so much so that I closed my in-person practice and now work with people entirely in writing. I also record audio practices, hand-draw diagrams, and share an abundance of actionable resources. Working this way has turned out to be incredibly effective. I encourage you to visit my website for a fuller picture.

Unbearable emotional and somatic states, relationship problems, identity crises, difficult life transitions, losses, grief, and trauma are some of the many experiences that plague us and make life hard. While suffering is a natural part of life, it is understandable to want to move away from it. However, it is when we give our suffering a voice that healing can begin.

I work with all ages with a specialization in children, adolescents and families. I support individuals and families as they navigate daily stressors, symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as past trauma. I acknowledge the importance of a therapeutic alliance as a foundation for the healing journey. I offer a nonjudgmental, warm, caring, and empowering environment. Believing that each client is the expert of themselves, I will work collaboratively with you and/or your child to meet your needs and goals.

Relational Life Therapist. Cross cultural therapist. I help couples (and other dyads) get to the source of their issues and learn how to create the relationship they long for. Some dyads that see me may be on the brink of relationship rupture and dissolution. Some may be stuck having the same arguments with the same lack of progress and feel like Sisyphus with his boulder. Some may be ahead of the game and seek therapy before they ruin a good thing. All of them want to learn healthy relationship habits that stick. The individual clients I see often struggle with spiritual questions, self acceptance, and/or relationships.

Are you worried about your future together? Fighting too much, too often, too intensely? Or the opposite: avoiding conflict for fear of getting lost in it. Conflicts that are avoided or are too long and too intense and too difficult to recover from will all weigh you down. You know that things can be easier: you know you could communicate more efficiently, smarter, and get to have fun together on the other side this. What you need then is a therapist who can diagnose communicational difficulties and engineer solutions that keep you out of the same trouble in the future.

Within my work at Windhorse Counseling, I use tools from different approaches, including CBT, Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Internal Family Systems therapies. I enjoy being creative and eclectic within therapy as everyone’s healing journeys are unique. By centering compassion and empathy, I strive to provide a trusting space where clients can explore, build insight and increase their sense of empowerment so they can carry out change, decision making, and acceptance in their lives.
