Therapists for college students near Boston, MA

I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping college students successfully navigate the unique challenges of this pivotal time in their lives. I work to understand the pressures you may experience to perform academically, the stress of living and working independently, and the difficulties of managing time and relationships. My Approach to Psychotherapy My work with college students is focused on providing concrete, evidence-based skills to help you thrive. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, a common concern for many students. My experience includes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals learn skills and empower them to effectively manage anxiety and regain a sense of control. I also have extensive experience with other scientifically proven interventions to address issues that frequently arise during the college years, such as: Depression: Developing coping strategies to overcome overwhelming feelings. Traumatic Stress: Providing support and tools through tough times. Organizational Skills: Helping you master time management and planning to reduce academic stress. My goal is to empower you to take an active role in your own success by learning how to solve complex emotional problems and prioritize your physical and psychological well-being. Whether you're struggling with academic pressures, communicating with roommates or professors, or finding your place on campus, I can provide the support and tools you need.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 13 years of experience. My expertise includes certification in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), recognized as the gold standard in treating OCD. Additionally, I have extensive experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, as well as navigating significant medical challenges and grief and loss. Starting therapy can be an intimidating journey for many individuals. From my years of experience, I've learned that establishing a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is paramount from the outset. My approach is to meet you where you are, listen attentively, and begin building this foundation right from our first session. In our work together, I see you as the driver of your journey, and my role is to assist you in navigating the path ahead. There are multiple avenues we can explore, and together we will determine the best route for your unique needs and goals. I would be privileged to accompany you on your path towards a happier, healthier self.

I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in anxiety, grief and loss (death, relationship changes, life transitions, chronic illness) and anxiety. Through my many years working with bereaved clients, I have learned that we all grieve in our own way and in our own time. In an attempt to create a refuge from the cultural pressure “to move on,” I strive to offer a welcoming, nurturing, and safe space for you to grieve your loss, to find hope and connection, and to discover ways to heal and to grow. My approach is client-centered, relational, and collaborative and I draw from a variety of treatment modalities, including expressive therapies, narrative therapy, exposure therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies. During times of change and loss, a lack of understanding by those closest to us can sometimes cause confusion and feelings of loneliness. I hope to provide a safe space where you can feel supported and understood. I also hope that with time, understanding, and compassion, you will be able to find ways to connect, to heal, and to grow.

Additionally, I provide targeted executive functioning support focused on planning, prioritization, organization, time management, and task initiation.

We all have a unique story to tell. Our stories need witnessing, understanding, and even transformation. I believe that therapy provides such a transformative space. It is only in telling our stories, slowing down and recognizing our automatic thoughts and responses that we can reveal our unique inner resources and the truth that we already have everything we need to embrace lives of connection, health, and purpose. It is a creative and collaborative endeavor, navigating internal and external struggles, organizing thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and being curious about our own (and each other’s ’) stories. In the past twenty years I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults coping with with anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief and trauma. Working with adolescent and young adult females struggling with mental health issues, especially those related to self esteem, identity, and the complicated transition to adulthood is a particular passion.
