Welcome to BetterHelp! Many people come to therapy looking for a place where they can share their innermost thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of judgment and receive unconditional support. I have been providing this kind of open, caring, therapeutic environment to my clients throughout my career. My name is Kimberley Haley and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1993, and my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 2001. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals who have experienced abuse and trauma, and as a result, my specialties include the treatment of anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression. I also have experience in assisting my clients to manage issues related to grief and loss, low self-esteem, the stress that accompanies divorce or separation and co-parenting as well as relationship and marital issues. I have experience as a behaviorist and have done a lot of work with clients who have a family member with intellectual or other disabilities. As such, I would be a great match for someone who is a caregiver for someone with a disability. In my work, I feel it is crucial that I be able to get to know my clients and the environments that they are living in so that I can have a full understanding of what they are facing on a daily basis. My therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral in nature. I believe that the most successful treatment focuses on identifying problems, and providing guidance and a clear plan to address the negative issues that my clients are experiencing, so that they can have a sense of relief, and experience an improvement in their quality of life. I provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment so that the focus can remain on my clients and the work they are willing to do so that they may lead happier, healthier, more purposeful lives. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile and I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you!

Hello, welcome to BetterHelp! I want to first congratulate you on taking this step into therapy and remind you that we are in this together. Life often gets in the way of making plans, and that can mean turning your world upside down. I am here to help you navigate and manage your feelings, and help you get on track to succeed. My name is Amy Helm, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Massachusetts. I earned my mental health degree, specializing in addiction, from Cambridge College in 2014. I began working in the field in 2012, when I began my graduate school education. Over the past several years, I have worked in many different treatment facilities and have experience with addiction, depression, anxiety, acute psychotic disorders, and family therapy. My approach begins with person-centered therapy, emphasizing the importance of a working relationship between the client and therapist, in addition to keeping your goals as the main focus. Additionally, I practice cognitive behavioral therapy to help change and challenge thought patterns to help you become your best self. Therapy works best when given 100% effort, and this is accomplished when both the client and the therapist work equally as hard to reach goals. I am here to work with you, to be your sound board, to help you manage and navigate your thoughts and feelings. My approach involves a judgement free environment, a safe place to talk through difficult and sometimes hurtful thoughts and information, and reflect on your experiences in order to improve how you are managing life.

Hi, My name as it appears on my license is Robert Kauffman, but I use the appellation, Roc. I came to this profession after a lengthy career in the home services business. I ended up with an antique furniture repair studio while I attended graduate school and performed internships. For nearly the past twenty years I have engaged with clients in a new way, focusing more on their psychological needs rather than their property needs. In both arenas attentive listening was a skill I possessed and served us well. I am a licensed professional counselor in two states, Massachusetts and Vermont. But enough about me, let's focus on you. The most important element, whether this be your first time or a reappearance, turns out to be you made a decision to reach out for help. Well done. Our first matter of business is to formulate a therapeutic alliance. This may take a while as we become familiar with each other’s learning, teaching and communication styles. Just to provide a heads up, my approach is client centered and comes from a strengths based perspective. We will build our treatment process upon aspects where you have already demonstrated abilities and resiliency. Next, collaboratively we will construct your goals and devise a method to achieve them. My box of tools that apply to this work contains several powerful items. Cognitive-Behavioral assignments seem to keep a person engaged in this work. Insight and Cognitive Interweaves along with Motivational Interviewing seem to clear the path ahead of us. I firmly believe and research bears out that mindfulness practices demonstrate brain changing capabilities. We can experiment with an array of practices and techniques to find some that fit. With persistence and support we will increase your capacity to overcome whatever obstacles you face. My client base from adolescent to elderly spans the rainbow array of cultural diversity. It stretches me to come up with a human characteristic yet to be encountered, although I am certain some exist. I have much experience resolving trauma, grief and loss issues using phase oriented approaches. Adversity, particularly in the early years, usually springs forth many psychological symptoms, namely, anxiety, depression, attachment disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, somatic disorders, or even psychotic presentations. By treating the underlying issues, we will find that these psychological symptoms abate. I look forward to being on your team, Sincerely, Roc
