Hello, and Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in American Cultural Studies and the Arts, as well as a Masters Degree in Psychology, and have been working with clients for over 20 years. I was trained in California as a Psychotherapist and Art Therapist, so I like to encourage creative thinking in my clients. I am now licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Massachusetts, and Certified by the International Coaching Federation as a Certified Professional Coach. I have also been a non-profit executive, and enjoy working with individuals who are trying to balance work and life issues. My training in the coaching field meshes well with my general orientation toward Positive Psychology and Client-Focused Therapy. Basically, that means that I am interested in guiding people forward in their lives, emphasizing strengths and strategies that can be used to make everyday better, as well as to create a more positive future. My training and experience bring together a unique combination of strategic and creative skills that allow me to view your individual situation from a comprehensive, wholistic perspective – exploring work, personal, and relationship factors that interact and affect each other. What I have learned from my therapy training and my own personal experience in navigating change and transitions is that it is necessary to find ways to stop, breathe, and be connected to the present moment before we can step back and explore new possibilities and perspectives. I have developed strategies and exercises from positive psychology, mindfulness practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, strategic planning, and gestalt psychology, to guide you. In addition, my background in the creative arts gives me the skills to use more visual, sensory, and playful approaches to helping you move forward. Let me be a therapist, a coach, a cheerleader, and a support for you! I will bring together my years of therapy training and management experience with the personal experience of living through several of my own challenging life transitions. I am excited to partner with you and to use all of my skills and creativity to be your supportive and thoughtful guide.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Watertown area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Watertown therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Watertown due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Watertown may not take health insurance, some in the state of Massachusetts may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Massachusetts you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Watertown?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Watertown therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in MA, therapists may be booked out with clients.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Watertown licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Watertown, Massachusetts can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Watertown has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
