In Person Therapists in Andover, MA
I've been described by clients as a therapist who uses warmth and humor to empathically challenge and precipitate change. In my view, therapy is a safe place to explore your experiences with an objective and empathic professional. Therapy is useful when you feel "stuck" and when self-image, relationships, and success in school or work are compromised. Present-focused strategies may help you to become "unstuck". Delving into history, thereby gaining insight into the origins of your struggles may precipitate further development. As a therapist, I collaborate with my client to create a process that is healing and promotes development.

Whether you feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, depressed feelings, a troubled relationship, grief, or a past trauma that does not relent, there is a way forward for you and a hope for a more balanced future. One of the most important steps toward that future is the first one – the act of reaching out and asking for help. I encourage you to take that difficult step - for yourself, your future, and those you love. I can help you recognize and verbalize underlying problems, teach you skills to manage symptoms, and gain new insights that will shift your perspective.

Current Openings: Mondays at 2:30, Tuesdays at 3 every other week, and Thursdays at 2. Hi- I'm Victoria Kellman. Maybe typical, office based therapy just didn't work for you.

Maybe you're a "horse girl" struggling with the dynamics of the horse world. I welcome all people, from all walks of life. I welcome all diagnoses and life challenges including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders. My ideal client is the "difficult" teen or young adult, who's struggling to understand life.

"Life is easy!" said no one, ever. Life can be quite difficult and the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mentality causes more harm than good. My job is not to tell you how to live your life or to dole out advice, but to help you navigate how YOU want to live your life. My belief is that the client is the expert of their life. Change is scary but necessary for progression and growth. If you're ready to take a stand for your mental health, I am ready to walk with you!

My ideal client is anyone who wants to feel and function better and is willing to engage in therapeutic conversations about their life and experiences. Clients who work well with me are ready to reject shame. They describe feeling trapped or powerless, with a constant, withering, internal buzz-saw of self-criticism. They sometimes don't fit categories or want to. They get angry sometimes and aren't always nice. They're stronger than they know. All they need to do is talk. And therapy works.

Hi and welcome! The clients that I help may be starting to undo their inner people-pleasers. They have been taught that they are not enough, or are too much. That their needs somehow don’t matter as much. They get in their own way, don’t live in accordance to their values, and ruminate on every perceived mistake. They worry about being a burden or an inconvenience to others. They have a wounded inner child. Many of my clients are survivors of narcissistic abuse, struggle with addictions or self-harm, and struggle with just being nice to themselves. Sound familiar? You may not see it now, but you are worthy of the life you dream of!

Please reach out via email if interested in scheduling an initial assessment/session. I hold the foundational view that all of our stories occur within the context of the family, cultural, and social systems in which we live. Therefore, the pressure and supports that each of these systems provide are integral parts of both how we experience challenges and how we heal them. In each session, I utilize a strengths-based approach as well as my training in Family Systems Therapy to contour the work in order to find greater balance in client’s lives.
