Hi! I am a licensed psychologist, certified Master Addiction Counselor, and author. I have 20-plus years of experience working in private and public agencies, including hospitals, rehabilitation programs, and halfway houses. I have helped many people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, attachment, codependence, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have also taught counseling courses and provided clinical supervision at a college level. In addition to my Ph.D., in psychology from Boston University, I also have a post-doctorate in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (Sargent College, Boston University), as well as Certification in Rational Emotive Therapy. I am the author of several textbooks on addiction counseling: Mastering Addictions Counseling, and Addiction Counseling (publication by Crossroads, NY, NY. In addition, I have co-authored a book on Severe Mental Illness and Addictions (Boston University, Integrated Treatment for People with Co-occurring Disorders). My approach is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with empathy and respect. I am non-judgmental and genuine. My primary therapeutic approach is motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Motivational interviewing helps you identify what it is you value and from that starting point, what goals you are motivated to achieve. We work together to create a treatment plan adapted to your individual needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on your beliefs or thoughts and the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We know that by changing our beliefs, we can change our feelings and behaviors. "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to treat a wide range of issues. It's often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help you identify and cope with specific challenges. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy and is done in a structured way. (Mayoclinic, 2019). My approach includes a treatment plan and, usually, psychoeducation in the form of worksheets. It takes courage to seek a more purposeful and satisfying life and to take the first step toward change. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Mary Aubrey M.S.W. L.I.C.S.W. I’ve been working as a therapist for 40 years in a wide variety of settings. These include college mental health, community agencies, crisis intervention and hospital based services. I have also maintained a private practice along the way. I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals of all ages and varying backgrounds and lifestyles. I earned my M.S.W. degree in 1985 from Smith College School for Social Work. Prior to that, I was working in the field with a Masters in Counseling. I am licensed in Massachusetts as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work collaboratively with people, which means I’m interested in understanding as much as I can about what you’re thinking and feeling about the challenges you’re facing right now. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, angry, or confused. I want to hear about this from your point of view. Together we can set goals and discuss ways to track your progress. This is how we ensure the therapy is working for you. I have considerable experience with anxiety and panic, depression, relationships, managing stress, addictions, eating disorders, work-related conflict, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), family conflict, loss and grief. The approaches that I draw on for my therapeutic work include solution focused, cognitive behavioral, family systems and stages of change (Prochaska). In this time of Covid-19 many of us are facing unexpected anxiety, unanticipated challenges, and/or an intensification of issues that were previously manageable. Shelter-in-place policies are an extreme disruption to routines of work, family, and social life. This is when reaching out for help is tremendously important.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience working with adolescents and their families. I have had the privilege of helping teens and their families deal with very complex, challenging issues in a variety of settings. Many of my clients have struggled with depression, anxiety, peer and relationship issues, trauma , dissociation, and abuse. These significant challenges often contribute to behavior including addiction, self harm, and suicidality which have impacted my client's lives profoundly. I am compassionate and committed to helping improve the lives of those seeking my help. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to helping clients engage vulnerability and take on their personal challenges. I do not rely on a particular framework for understanding where someone is coming from but instead. pull from a variety of clinical theories to determine the best way to help. I believe in the individual narrative, perspective, and experience and will always start where the client is, when they seek help. The treatment I provide respects the unique and specific needs of each individual and I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model. I listen intently and challenge clients to work with me to better understand and look at what gets in their way and to ultimately make the shifts necessary to improve their lives. Deciding to get help is an indicator of your strength and courage. If you think I might be a good fit to help you make changes in your life I am ready to support you!

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. As you are aware, we are living in unprecedented times. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach. Since graduating with my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, I have worked with folks across a wide array of presenting concerns, including managing symptoms of anxiety, mood dysregulation, and depression, healing with/from trauma, managing grief and loss, recovery from substance abuse and addiction, chronic illness, & LGBT issues. I work with clients at every stage of development in 1:1, couples, and family sessions. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be innovative, caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am responsive, honest and direct with them. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. When we work together, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals. If you feel as though challenges are interfering with your sense of happiness and ability to function to your fullest potential, or if you are ready to alter your current life path, then I am available and able to assist you on your journey towards recovery. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.
