Therapists in Massachusetts

Psychotherapy is a process of increasing self-awareness, and using what we have discovered to make our lives richer. In order to implement change, the problem must be clearly defined. Human beings are inherently imperfect, understanding our vulnerabilities, our fears ,and our destructive tendencies frees these dynamics to effect change. Absent an awareness of our darker side, we make decisions that are not fully informed and choices that often come back to haunt us. Self-awareness allows us to better understand ourselves and the world. Knowledge is power.

As a member of the community, I cultivate an environment that is safe and welcoming for those identifying as LGBTQ+. I support those dealing with more severe psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self harm, personality disorders, and trauma.

Frustrated? Feeling confused or overwhelmed? Often, life speeds away from us before we realize how quickly things have changed. Life is a process of personal growth and evolution, as well as a process of building and maintaining relationships with people in a world that's constantly in flux. If you're looking to develop greater insight into these concerns, counseling is a great place to start. In my practice, I focus on partnering with you to explore challenges around interpersonal relationships, behavioral problems, sexual identity and behavior, and many other aspects of life.

My approach is simple. I meet people where they are. I believe in working with individuals mentally and physically; our thoughts drive our behavior. One can sustain a fulfilling, enjoyable lifestyle by pursuing interests and hobbies, interacting with one's community, utilizing social supports and spiritual beliefs, achieving healthy self-gratification, and managing healthy needs and relationships. My role as a cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT) is to assist clients with navigating their lifestyles productively and realistically. The goal is for clients to look at their lives more clearly.

Are you tired of looking for a therapist that is a good fit? Do you want a therapist that is dedicated to your progress? Hi there! My name is Noor and it’s important to me that my clients see results. I’m trained to work with individuals of all backgrounds, and I have experience treating clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and environmental stressors. I strive to build a warm connection with every client, and I pride myself on being approachable and easy to talk to.

Life can feel overwhelming, whether our distress stems from not getting what we want, or getting exactly what we wanted and yet somehow still feeling unfulfilled. Anxiety, depression, or battling addiction can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness. The process of talking in a therapeutic setting is essential in cultivating self-awareness and obtaining the wisdom to make healthier choices. Each person is unique, and I am committed to finding what works best for every person who seeks my support.

I enjoy the process of therapy from helping identify goals and empower you to make critical decisions to manage daily struggles. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult, so I use an approach that is direct, and non-judgmental to help create an environment where you feel supported in your counseling journey. I hope to create treatment planning that is attainable and achievable, reviewed and supported by you to meet the challenges you want to overcome and managae. My specialties in training are Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and basic trained in EMDR.

We all have the power to heal from hard times - even from trauma - it's within us, it's human. Sometimes we need another person to support us in our journey to move on from hard times. I believe growth and change are always possible outcomes. I provide thoughtful attention and gentle encouragement to support hope, healing, and most importantly, a relationship with yourself that is loving. My goal is to help you increase self-awareness, self-compassion, and self agency - skills that help you understand yourself and your unique value in the world.

Feeling stuck is natural and finding your way out may seem like an impossible goal. I meet clients where they are at building upon their strengths to move forward and achieve greater quality of life. My passion is working with motivated clients managing depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, issues stemming from trauma, problems with addiction, issues of sexuality and sexual orientation, and challenges related to life transitions. I support individuals with achieving their personal goals. I focus on the whole person physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I enjoy working with clients from varied cultures and backgrounds.

Accepts new clients - Imagine… Talking instead of fighting. Feeling appreciated and valued. Trusting again. Seeing a future that’s hopeful and bright. This could be you. I specialize in helping couples and individuals increase intimacy through better communication skills, in order to develop happier, more satisfying interpersonal relations. You may have been struggling with marital issues, anxiety and depression, or family of origin issues for too long. Anxiety, depression, or trauma, prevent us from realizing that we alone hold the key to change. Let me help you work through this.

Therapy can be either short-term or long-term and it can vary in its purpose for each individual. My practice is a relaxing space for you to achieve whatever it is that you are seeking, be it relief from uncomfortable feelings or a strategy to move on to something that brings more joy. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a mood disorder. In addition, I can assist you in moving through a life transition, such as a divorce or break-up, a job-loss, or becoming a new parent.

We all encounter times in life when we just feel stuck and overwhelmed, sometimes unsure of why we feel this way and unable to move forward. Psychotherapy helps us to achieve a sense of well-being and make changes in our lives. My hope is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, which will allow you to achieve personal growth. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies with components of mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents.

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.

My ideal clients are couples and individuals struggling in relationship. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I chose this profession because I find helping couples very rewarding. I support clients working through the struggles of not feeling understood, feeling attacked and judged. I teach them how to step back and get curious about each other. As couples begin to understand each other better, the disconnection and discouragement shifts, connection deepens and they learn to work together. I work with them to develop tools for better communication and conflict resolution.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, fearful, lonely, angry, unsatisfied? You may know what's wrong and what you need, or maybe you just know you want to feel better. Perhaps you're struggling to stay on course to reach a particular goal, or trying to gain traction and confidence to be who you want to be. We all have our own story and temperament that shapes our reactions, decisions, confidence and ability to persevere. My approach involves offering a steady, inquisitive and skilled hand in sorting out problems and managing priorities given one's unique past, present and future.

I became a therapist because I saw early on how men are conditioned not to practice emotional vulnerability and I wanted to model something different in my own life. In the decade since I started down this path, I've met many people grappling with social expectations as I have. My experience working with clients of all backgrounds has reaffirmed for me that, while we all lead very different lives, today's world nudges each of us towards feelings of isolation, anxiety, insecurity, and overwhelm. If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or just want a nonjudgmental space to explore your emotional landscape, let's chat.

When stress & anxiety keep you from feeling like yourself, it makes everything harder. I can help you change the ways you deal with stress, tension and struggle, and improve your relationships. Anxiety and stress can be related to trauma in your past, difficulty managing demands and day to day problems, or the challenge of big life changes. I use somatic psychotherapy, mind-body, and creative approaches to help my clients make profound change. You can have less tension, worry, self-doubt, and feelings of isolation and feel more energy, joy, connection and support.
