Kristina Marik

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I’m a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist dedicated to helping individuals find balance and stability in their lives. With extensive experience in community mental health and a background as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), I bring a unique blend of mindfulness and practical support to my practice. My approach is grounded in humanistic, attachment-based, and empowerment-focused principles. I advocate for justice and inclusivity, always striving to enhance the unique attributes of each person I work with. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, emotion regulation concerns, self-worth issues, mood disorders, substance use disorders, or are seeking harm reduction strategies, I offer a warm and capable presence to support you confidently and with a touch of humor.

Boston, Massachusetts therapist: Upstream Mental Health, psychologist
Feminist

Upstream Mental Health

Psychologist, Ph.D., PsyD, LMHC, LCAT-LP
We’re firm believers that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why we take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. We take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. We also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. Our goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy. We also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, we take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege. We specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.

Vida Mendez

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
It’s like a video stuck on a loop that keeps playing over, and over, and over… You replaying your daily interactions wondering if you did something wrong. You barely recognize the anxious person staring back at you in the mirror. Is this your new normal? To others, you look like you’re keeping it together. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. You’re hiding behind a thin veil of normalcy and you're worried about what would happen if the curtain were pulled back. So is there any good news? Yes!

I am trained in an approach called EMDR which can help you uncover the root of your anxiety and worry- bringing harmony back to your life.

Feminist

Julia Cannon

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
As a therapist, my goal is to build a nurturing and inclusive environment where you feel genuinely heard and valued. In my practice, I’m dedicated to helping you navigate your challenges with a blend of evidence-based therapies and a holistic perspective. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, along with Liberation Health Theory, to support your personal growth. Whether you’re dealing with body image issues, relationship struggles, depression/anxiety, navigating neurodivergence, or trauma, my goal is to empower you to embrace your true self and make meaningful progress. I’m here to meet you where you are and guide you through your journey. I often use humor in our sessions to help make things feel a bit more relaxed. It’s all about finding a balance—supporting you through challenges while keeping things approachable. Nobody wants to feel like they’re talking to a wall! I show up authentically in sessions, hoping that you can too. I frequently discuss the effects of capitalism on mental health, acknowledging how it often exacerbates stress and inequality. We all need help navigating a system that undervalues rest and self-care. Understanding that systemic structures influence our lives, I strive to be a thoughtful ally, continually educating myself to offer the most supportive and empathetic care possible. I prioritize creating a supportive environment where authenticity and humor are key, making our sessions both effective and approachable. My goal is to guide you through your journey towards greater self-confidence and growth, meeting you wherever you are. If you're ready to take the next step in self-discovery and growth, let’s connect and see how we can work together. Book your first session with me today by visiting my website!

Andrea Kamins

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, MSW
People often come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed and aren't sure why. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma/complex PTSD, and childhood emotional neglect (CEN). I particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP), neurodiverse individuals, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults age 21 and older who are motivated to create meaningful change in life and work, and deepen self-understanding. My clients enjoy my direct, warm style and sense of humor.

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you're overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference. I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and deep respect for my clients, I hope to create a welcoming space where you can embrace who you are right now and then find ways to transform your life to reflect your best self.
