Therapists for college students near 02138

With over 25 years of experience as a community-based social worker—and the last 7 years in private practice—I’ve developed a deep capacity for listening, supporting, and, most importantly, healing. My approach is designed to help people navigate anxiety that often arises from life’s unexpected challenges, whether big or small. I’m certified in EMDR and incorporate a range of complementary therapeutic methods tailored to each individual. If you find yourself struggling with issues that others—or even you—might dismiss as minor, it may be time to strengthen your skills and move beyond survival into a life where you can truly thrive.

My intention as a psychotherapist is to create a safe and supportive environment in which people can learn and share more about themselves, and in so doing, ease their suffering and create possibilities of positive movement and change in their lives. I am grounded in a relational and psychodynamic approach. This means that I am attuned to building a respectful interactive relationship, and that I bring an awareness of the deep impact of the past on people's present lives. My practice is diverse, with a specialization in trauma focused psychotherapy. Other areas of expertise are the treatment of depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relational issues, emotional regulation, and difficulties with family of origin.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor with four years of experience supporting students through challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. I work best with students who are looking for a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood while developing practical tools to manage stress and navigate life’s transitions. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and grounded in real-world strategies—helping you build resilience, gain clarity, and feel more in control of your mental health.

Specialize in black women, work/school stress, intergenerational trauma and racial trauma.

I work collaboratively with my clients to foster resiliency, promote meaningful growth, develop their innate strengths, and empower them to set and achieve their goals. My trauma-informed practice draws from solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems theories, and therapy is tailored to the individual growth of those with whom I work. Together we will unearth negative thoughts and behavior patterns that may be holding you back. I am looking forward to helping you expose the beauty that already exists within you.

I work with participants navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, family dynamics, and the impact of past trauma. At Leek Therapy, we believe in creating a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and authentic where you can explore who you are and what you want to grow toward.

I’m Alexandra Casamassima (a mouthful, I know), a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. More specifically, I help people create positive change in their lives when they are struggling. I have expertise in working with women. This includes college students or millennials going through a “quarter life crisis,” the pregnancy and postpartum period, and beyond. I support women in exploring their history and revealing patterns that may be impacting their emotions or relationships, or just help tackle a difficult season of life. I am not your typical therapist, and we will not be interpreting dreams from a couch. Therapy should not be an awkward and stale experience. Expect therapy with me to be a compassionate and safe space to process what you’re going through. However, I am not a sit and nod therapist. I will be real. I will challenge you in the areas I think we need to re-evaluate. I will use humor. I might curse here and there. While I have extensive education and training that has prepared me for this role, my experience has mostly taught me that YOU are the expert of your life. You have all the strengths, capabilities, and life experiences you need to get you where you want to go. My skills involve utilizing those strengths, giving you the tools to cope with what you’re struggling with, and elicit the change you want to see. I do not have a magic wand (otherwise my rates would be much higher), but if you put in the work during the therapy process, transformation is possible. If you’re reading this, chances are you are suffering in some way. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety, maybe you’re overwhelmed with being a mom, or maybe you know you’re just not getting the most out of life. Please reach out if you’d like to take the first step to make positive change.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who cares deeply about helping college students feel supported during a time that can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many students come to me with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, past trauma, or the challenges of adjusting to new environments and expectations. I offer a comfortable, understanding space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through. My focus is on helping you feel heard, build healthy coping skills, and gain confidence as you navigate college life. My goal is to support you so you can feel more grounded, understood, and ready to grow during this important time in your life.

I love clients who are curious about themselves and their relationships and are just looking for a safe place to talk. I bring much the same warmth, humor, and energy to my work that I do to my friendships. I'll remember your birthday and the name of the pet you had growing up, and the fact that you were anxious about that text you got last week. If you're anxious about therapy, or have had a bad experience in the past, that's a great place to start, and if you're ready to dive in, we can do that too.

a Yale-educated and clinically trained therapist, I believe therapy begins with one essential foundation: feeling safe enough to be truly seen and heard. Choosing to pursue therapy is a deeply personal decision, and the relationship between therapist and client should be grounded in compassion, empathy, and trust. My approach is centered on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore challenges openly, build resilience, and move toward meaningful growth and healing. I understand that every person’s story is unique, and I am committed to meeting each client with respect, curiosity, and genuine care throughout their therapeutic journey.
