Therapists in Boston, MA

I appreciate that people often feel blocked, unable to reach their goals or uncertain on how to live their ideal lives. I help my clients identify patterns, themes, and barriers that may be in their way, and then work collaboratively with them to move or shift these concepts so my clients can ultimately reach their goals.

Have you been feeling stuck and unsure of how to heal? Maybe you notice you freeze up a lot, feel uncomfortable in your own body, or that you get caught in regular shame spirals. You might be realizing that how you used to get through doesn’t work for you anymore. Dealing with past trauma and PTSD, or just the trauma of living in the world, has left you feeling trapped and wanting something better. Better, would be feeling more at home in yourself, moving through the world with confidence and ease.

Dr. DeOliveira works with adult women and gender-questioning/gender non-conforming folks to explore narratives that have restricted their capacities for thriving.

She is trained to work with issues of sexuality, gender, and marginalized identity, and she has developed a specialty area in supporting the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities. Dr. DeOliveira also understands that unresolved trauma can keep people from reaching their full potential.

I'm a firm believer that you don't need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.

Working from a multicultural perspective, I encourage client's awareness of their worldview and place within their family and culture.

Depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, behavioral problems, insomnia, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, and flashbacks are just a few symptoms that can be caused by underlying trauma. Most of us have dealt with trauma in our lives. A traumatic event could be one isolated incident, such as a car accident or death in the family. Some individuals have experienced pervasive trauma, such as an ongoing medical procedure or family discord. At Robinson Counseling and Wellness, LLC we have clinicians who been trained to effectively resolve the symptoms of trauma and provide a safe environment for healing.

If your struggling with self, others or maladaptive behaviors I can assist in developing a personalized treatment plan and goals. Utilizing various trainings, beliefs and tested modalities, together we can move towards the life you want, accept the situations that we may not be able to change and weave an eclectic, psychoeducational approach designed to provide tools and develop skills to address many of your stated concerns. Using supportive language, a belief that change is possible and the inherent power of the human spirit, I will walk with you though the changes you seek.

Your relationship with food and your body has taken over your life, and you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and alone. You may be fed up with the shame, tired of having no control, or sick of feeling isolated. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to leave the eating disorder behind. You want to feel confident and in control of your emotions. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect with yourself.

Are you finding yourself struggling to get through your day? Having trouble motivating yourself to take that next step? Are you having challenges in your personal relationships?

We may find ourselves faced with struggles and challenges that can leave us feeling trapped within our circumstances, in our inner struggle, and in feeling that we are limited in our ability to imagine how things could be better. My goal in therapy is to help you expand the space that exists between you and your struggle, allowing room for hope and all the good things you deserve in life. I truly believe that anything is workable and I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

I have many years of experience working in telehealth and in-person. I recognize that these trying times are easier to handle with someone traveling alongside you.

Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be empathically recognized and understood for there to be realistic change. My job is to create a safe place where individuals and couples explore their current or long standing problems in order to find realistic solutions. A significant part of this involves carefully and mutually developing an appreciation of people's actual qualities and circumstances. I work with people in crisis or who sense they have patterns of living that could benefit from a clear understanding and want an expert and experienced partner to help facilitate their desired change.

Therapy is a unique opportunity to work together to help you navigate life's challenges in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you are looking to gain insight into your thinking and behavioral patterns, develop skills to manage disruptive or distressing symptoms, or improve your relationships with yourself and others, I am here to help you work through your unique challenges to live a healthy, fulfilling life. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/dating challenges, life transitions, substance misuse, body image concerns, and disordered eating.

Currently accepting waitlist. Leanne Thomas has been in clinical private practice for over 5 years and in the social work field since 2011. She uses a CBT framework focusing on our learned thought/behavior habits, challenging our inner narrative, and tuning into our most authentic selves. She finds it can also be helpful to incorporate a bit of neuroscience to help explain the "why behind the what" when it comes to our experience and mental health. We have a lot of control over how we want to construct our lives, and I am happy to help you feel empowered to do so.

We will work together to come up with attainable goals, and to focus on making changes that strengthen your overall well-being.
