Therapists for college students near Boston, MA

My strength as a psychologist is to deeply attend to each client's emotions, thoughts, and life context. If you seek to participate in therapy with me, we will work together to create a judgment-free and safe space. In my practice of therapy, I effectively balance exploratory and supportive therapy with the latest research and evidence-based interventions. I provide psychotherapy for older adolescents (16+), adults, older adults, college students, professionals, military-affiliated individuals, couples, and families. My advanced training includes a postdoctoral fellowship at McLean Hospital, with a clinical appointment at Harvard Medical School, and an APA-accredited internship at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Alongside my private practice, my professional experience includes teaching clinical psychology at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. I am happy to answer any questions you may have or set up an initial phone conversation to determine if we both think we might work well together to meet your goals. I currently have weekday daytime and limited evening availability. I also offer both in-person and telehealth (virtual) therapy. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a clinical social worker with 12 years of experience working with a variety of mental health difficulties. Many of my clients experience anxiety and depression that stems from traumatic life events or difficult family dynamics. I will help you understand your symptoms and where they are stemming from. Once you understand yourself more, healing can occur. I will help you challenge your negative thoughts and build skills to cope with a stressful world.

About My Practice My practice is centered around helping individuals work through the emotional challenges that leave them feeling stuck. I know that reaching out for help can be a vulnerable step, and I’m here to support you as you navigate your unique dilemmas. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you and find a path toward healing and relief. My Approach With over six years of experience in the field, my practice has been influenced by Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Gabor Maté, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. These approaches help you understand and connect with yourself more deeply. Through Compassionate Inquiry, we’ll uncover the root causes of your challenges, leading to greater self-acceptance and clarity. IFS allows you to connect with different parts of yourself, helping to heal inner conflicts and promote self-compassion. Healing and Growth I’m dedicated to helping you connect with your core self while releasing the burdens that hold you back. Many people struggle with self-worth, self-control, and the weight of past experiences. My approach helps those trapped in destructive patterns attain more flexibility and freedom. Within the safety of our relationship, you can begin to let go of pain and find relief in the present from whatever has been burdening you. How We Will Work Everybody thinks and feels at their own speed. We will spend as much time as needed to find a pace and flow that works well for you. As we do, we will explore your inner resources and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. This journey can lead to a more authentic life filled with meaningful relationships and a renewed sense of possibility. Along the way, I will do all that I can to create a welcoming space where you can share your experiences without judgment while feeling truly seen.

I am a licensed clinical social worker providing individual counseling services to individuals ages eighteen and older. Those who come to me are often seeking relief from the challenges of PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, aging, parenting and caregiving, grief and those in or on their journey to recovery. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is an evidence based treatment that helps individuals heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are a result of disturbing life events. EMDR is commonly used in the treatment of traumatic memories and PTSD. My practice offers a welcoming and inclusive space where you can safely begin to look at the issues most important to you. Providing guidance on your path to greater stability and healing is my goal. For many, the first and most difficult step is reaching out for help. Seeking support for your life's challenges shows great strength and commitment to yourself and your loved ones. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! My name is Jackie. I have been working in the field of counseling/psychology for the last several years. I have worked with a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and presenting concerns in many different settings (medical hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, community centers, and public schools). I am passionate about working with young adults, especially those who are navigating through college. That specific period in life can come with numerous transitions, hardships, and decisions to make. If you feel overwhelmed by all of it, therapy is a great place to start. My initial consultation is free, and I tailor to each person's unique needs. Don't hesitate to reach out, even if it's just with a couple of questions about the process!

I view therapy not only as a means of reducing emotional distress but also as an approach to personal growth. However, I believe that therapy should not be a way of life and I therefore support clients in developing concrete skills, with emphasis on working with emotions: promoting a better understanding of emotions and emotion regulation. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on my own bi-cultural experience - I was born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic. I practice emotion-focused therapy, which emphasizes the positive, adaptive roles of emotions. Sometimes, however, due to stress, trauma or adverse life events, emotions can become a source of distress. Through empathic, collaborative exploration I help my clients identify their authentic emotional needs and develop strategies for managing and regulating distressing emotions. If you are located in Western Mass (Pioneer Valley) I also offer walking therapy and animal assisted therapy. Therapy is my 2nd career. My PhD is in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) and my therapeutic work is informed by 25+ years of research in AI and cognitive & affective science. I am thus very familiar with academic environments and draw on this knowledge when working with students, both undergraduate and graduate.

I specialize in working with college students and young adults, providing individual therapy in a collaborative partnership where we address your concerns and build strategies for growth and healing. Having served as a Staff Psychologist at University of Chicago Student Counseling Services, I developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges students face during this major life transition. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and ADHD. My listening style is warm and interactive. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and family systems approaches while staying attuned to contemporary social issues. Together, we'll identify patterns that aren't serving you, enhance your self-awareness and build resilience to create sustainable positive change.

Welcome! My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and validation. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and work towards meaningful change. I have a special interest in women's mental health and have over 5 years of experience working with perinatal clients. I utilize a number of interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and strengths-based approach. I enjoy incorporating meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises into session for those who find these techniques helpful. If you are seeking a therapist who is warm, authentic, and supportive, I would be honored to accompany you on your journey! I invite you to reach out to schedule a free consultation. Please note that email is the best way to reach me. Thank you so much!

Hi and welcome! I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I take time to create a safe and inviting space with focus on the therapeutic relationship. I provide a non-judgmental, trauma informed, holistic and caring approach with a splash of humor. If you feel as though you are suffering, that life feels meaningless or hopeless, that no one understands what it is like to be you and walk in your shoes, or that you're feeling overwhelmed, reach out today, there is a way to heal and find relief and you don't have to do it alone.

I help clients navigate life in a way that is personally meaningful, while effectively managing the pain and difficulty that inevitably shows up along the way. I will help you get to know your mind's habits and tell the difference between helpful and unhelpful ones. We will figure out your personal priorities and use these as our roadmap. We'll work on becoming more flexible, brave, wise, purposeful and self-accepting - all in the service of what matters most to you.

Are you seemingly okay on the outside, but uncomfortable and anxious underneath? Do relationships with family, friends, or romantic partners feel stressful? Perhaps you are struggling to figure out your path in college or after graduation? It’s really hard to navigate relationships and decisions for yourself now, for the first time! I believe college and your 20s are the most important time where you can shape your future by learning about yourself. Often, you grow up not really knowing you are and who you want to be, and feel lost when you try to figure this out. I’d love to support you as you navigate this time by really listening and understanding you, providing non-judgmental guidance and empathy, and asking you helpful questions. I focus on issues with life transitions (yes college and graduation), self esteem, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and communication, dating, perfectionism, break-ups, and stress. Common goals include reducing anxiety, finding a suitable partner, building connection, stronger communication, creating healthy boundaries, finding purpose/career, managing life transitions, and increasing coping skills and confidence. My clients don't fill empty spots! This is my passion and you are so important to me; I remember details and strategize between sessions ensuring you receive the best care in return for your commitment to therapy.
