I am a psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience in clinical practice. In working together, it is my hope that we can create a safe space where you can slow down, pause, breathe and self-reflect. A moment of reflection, clarity, and deep connection to yourself. A dedicated space for curiosity and collaboration where we identify ways in which you can learn to welcome and cope more constructively with your feelings and thoughts, improve and strengthen your interpersonal relationships, and increase your awareness about how your life experiences may be impacting your overall well-being. I am an active clinician, who will engage you on a compassionate level through attentive and thoughtful listening. I acknowledge and appreciate your strengths and resilience when facing challenging circumstances in your life. Fundamentally, my goal is to help empower you by bolstering your internal resources to help you move towards a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic style is a mix of cognitive behavioral, relational, and mindfulness-based interventions. I can offer you an approach that is individually tailored to your unique goals, needs, strengths and challenges. I feel privileged that this is my life's work, and I appreciate your consideration to allow me to accompany you on your healing journey.

Wendy Perello, LCSW, has a specialized focus on helping individuals navigate through life transitions, trauma, career-focused stress, and self-esteem challenges. Wendy will help uncover your underlying strengths, determine your therapeutic goals, and learn more about why you do the things you do. Her holistic approach integrates all aspects of who you are allowing her to curate an ideal approach that combines mindfulness, narrative therapy and CBT.

Do you feel like your emotions get in the way of you achieving your goals, affect your relationships, and keep you feeling stuck? Do you feel frustrated, unable to break patterns, or move forward? Or has a new life transition impacted you greatly and you don’t know where to go from here? My focus is on helping you learn how to regulate your emotions -- to be more in control of them than they are of you. In our sessions, we'll identify patterns, better understand them, and work together to come up with a plan of how to achieve your goals. My background is in CBT, DBT, trauma, grief and loss, and perinatal mental health. It can be hard taking the first step when you're struggling, but you've already done it by being here! If you live in MA or NJ, are open to telehealth sessions, and think we may be a good match, you can learn more about me at my website. I look forward to hearing from you!

Though it may be difficult to see the opportunity for healing and change in the midst of a struggle, seeking help is a first step toward new possibilities. I am dedicated to building a deep relationship with you and provide a private and safe space for you to explore your concerns. Through the process of self discovery many find greater equanimity, purpose, and compassion, and an expanded capacity for love. My specialties include identity concerns, existential challenges and crises, cultural adjustment, life transitions, depression, anxiety, loss and grief and trauma. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, international students, and young adults. I also enjoy working with creatives, scientists, healthcare professionals, activists and meditators and bring my own direct experience with meditation and creativity to my work. My therapeutic lens is psychodynamic and is deeply informed by Buddhist psychology. I integrate mindfulness practices, meditation, breath work, and Compassion Focused Therapy in my approach. My practice is collaborative, holistic, and flexible, holding space for all aspects of wellbeing, the emotional, physical, spiritual, relational, and creative. I have been the field since in 1994 following a career in the arts. I have worked in college counseling centers, community mental health and hospital settings and have been in private practice since 2004.

My name is Dr. Cara Barbierri and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in both Connecticut and Massachusetts with over 15 years experience helping students and their families seek meaningful change. I believe that individuals are resilient and that people need support and effective tools to succeed. I also believe that our past relationships fuel our current attachments and that gaining insight and understanding is the catalyst to change. I engage my clients with honest feedback, humor, and compassion as I strive to partner on the journey towards effective change. My goal is for you to feel respected and simultaneously challenged and held accountable.

Starting therapy can be a bit daunting and scary. Opening up and being vulnerable to a complete stranger can be challenging. That is why we make it my mission for the process to be pleasant and safe for you. Through various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, our clients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with life’s various obstacles. Our therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide clients with effective tools to help them see the glass as half full instead of half empty.

I have been providing counseling for over a decade. My clients describe me as funny, warm, helpful and non-judgmental. If you’re struggling, send me an email and we can set up an appointment. I also can refer you to personal trainer, life coach, and psychiatrist if needed.

We know that searching for a therapist can be one of the most difficult parts of coping, healing, and self-empowerment, because it's the first thing you must do. You must force yourself out of your comfort zone and out of whatever routine you've had before, to take the initiative and embark on a new path. When we're at our best, stepping out of our comfort zones can be daunting; when we're feeling vulnerable, it can seem nearly impossible. No matter what prompted you to take this first step, we'd like to be there for your second. Our clinicians focus on creating an empathic environment where you feel safe and relaxed, and where we can use every tool available to brighten your present and empower your future.

Life can be overwhelming. There are many things to address, or things we want to work on, but we often don’t know where to start. You don’t have to figure out it all out overnight. You don’t have to feel ashamed for being where you are. All you have to focus on is one small thing you can do today to get closer to where you want to be in life. Slowly, one step at a time, you can get there. That one step could be reaching out to a therapist to have non-judgmental support through this process. This is where I can help. I provide a therapeutic space to explore struggles in a relaxed manner. You take the lead, I am a supporting role. I offer different perspectives, brainstorming ideas, coping strategies, & practicing what you want to improve. Working for almost 10 yrs. has trained me in numerous styles of therapy, so I think outside the box & pull from various strategies to help you find the right tools for your situation. Online Only. I am able to work with issues related to: grief/loss, depression, anxiety, caregiver/parent support, relationships, trauma, and life changes. If you're interested in seeing if I'm a good fit for your needs, & would like to start your therapy journey, please reach out via email. I look forward to hearing your story & being a part of your journey.

I am happy working with many different struggles as psychotherapy is my passion, while some of my more specific passions include: life changes/transitions, identity development and figuring out who you are or want to be, anxiety, trauma stemming from childhood, and working with clients who are experiencing pre/postpartum anxiety and depression. Lastly, I am licensed in NH & MA with 10+ years experience. I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a licensed mental health counselor.

Hi there! I'm Heather, a proud Nurse Practitioner. I have been in practice as a prescriber since 2023, and worked in the mental health field in various settings for more than a decade prior as an RN. I work across the lifespan and with a variety of conditions. (Please note that at this time I am not prescribing controlled substances.) I believe in shared decision making and a person-centered approach to care; we're a team! I have a kind but direct approach to discussions and am solution-focused. I believe that medications are a tool, not a fix, so we will talk about a variety of interventions to support your wellness. You can expect that I will ask about your goals for care, and life, and that we will work together to meet those goals. I will sometimes assign "homework" to continue interventions outside of sessions in addition to any medication changes we may decide to make.
