Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I have experience in treating individuals from 2 years old through adulthood. I have worked in a variety of settings including: home-based, outpatient, group therapy, school-based, and early childhood programs, and am now excited to expand my practice into online therapy. I frequently support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, grief/loss, low self-esteem, interpersonal conflicts, and difficult life transitions. Within my career as a mental health counselor, I have sharpened my professional skills in a variety of modalities and interventions and tend to utilize an eclectic approach in therapy, incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, among other strategies. My personal counseling style relies heavily on providing psychoeducation and connecting with clients through the use of metaphors and analogies. I find that this better helps them to understand therapeutic concepts as they relate to themselves and come to their own meaningful insights. Counseling should be a strengths-based and collaborative process that looks beyond individuals’ pathology and empowers them to make the beneficial changes they need in order to attain a healthier lifestyle. My main priority is to collaborate with you to determine your needs and goals and, subsequently, develop the best overall approach to help you along your journey. Everyone experiences different types of challenges and upheavals throughout their life. Navigating these challenges alone may be overwhelming and yet, seeking out professional help can also seem daunting. My hope is to guide you to uncovering your inherent strengths in order to help you help yourself. When you’re ready to take the next step towards your personal goals, I’d love to be there to support you! I look forward to working with you! Kayla

Welcome! My name is Sophia and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. You have taken the first step on the journey to building a better life for yourself . Together we will create a space where you can figure out the changes you would like to make in your life to become happier and more fulfilled. In a non-judgmental, compassionate atmosphere we will talk about what has brought you to counseling at this time, review your strengths, explore what is really important to you and build the skills that will enable you to cope with the difficulties of daily living. Every person is unique and I will draw from a variety of treatment modalities that I am experienced in to find the best fit for you. The different types of therapy I use all have in common a focus on building on a person’s strengths to help them let go of what is getting in the way of them living their best life. The therapeutic approaches I use most frequently are: Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Positive Psychology. I have extensive experience working with young adults, adults, parents and families. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both California and Rhode Island. If this sounds like a good fit for you let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born and raised in the United Kingdom and attended Oxford University for my undergraduate degree. I have been in the US for over twenty years and during that time I have lived on the east and west coast and am now settled in California. I completed my Master of Social Work degree at Rhode Island College. I have worked in a variety of settings including a high school, a community mental health center and a group private practice. My experiences of relocating, being lonely, learning to live in a new culture and raising a family all give me first hand experience of how hard life can be. These life events have brought me to a place where I listen with compassion and without judgement. I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker licensed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts with 7 years of direct psychotherapy experience working with individuals from many backgrounds and ages.

I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, parenting problems, discipline strategies, trauma related issues and borderline personality disorder. I also specialize in anxiety related disorders as I have experienced the toll that stress and anxiety can take on your everyday life. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and goal oriented. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I also don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I also have vast experience with DBT (Dialect Behavioral Therapy) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and began my career in mental health while volunteering with a non-profit Children's Bereavement Center in Rhode Island as a High School student. Here, I facilitated expressive arts groups with grieving children and adolescents, continuing this work for six years. I continued my passion for helping others into college and received my Bachelor’s and Master of Social Work degree from Rhode Island College's School of Social Work. After graduating, I served on a grief and trauma team as a Sr. Clinical Therapist for two years while providing home based, enhanced outpatient clinical care to children and families. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families in the therapeutic focus areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and family dynamics. I believe in a person centered, trans-theoretical approach to therapy in order to meet the specific needs of each client. I blend my therapeutic style with Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused, and Coaching. My main goal is to help people to accept that painful thoughts and feelings can co-exist alongside healthy behavior change and an improved quality of life. I strive to help clients become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so they view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. I help my clients learn skills to manage painful emotions by building insight and promoting empowerment while using empathy and actively listening. When I am not seeing clients, I enjoy time with friends, family, and being a puppy dad to my red standard poodle, Maggie, who will grow up and train to be a therapy dog. I consider myself adventurous, and enjoy traveling the world, expanding my pallet every chance I get and making new and meaningful connections everywhere I go.
