Online Eclectic therapists in Massachusetts

Telehealth is the sole means of conducting therapy through my practice at this time due to COVID-19. HIPAA Compliant platforms are regularly used and accessed through an emailed link or text message appointment reminder.  

At this time, I am offering sessions online; we will use a HIPAA secure website designed for therapy clients. Please feel free to contact me by email cginandes@aol.com or at my office phone number to discuss the possibility of scheduling an initial consultation session.  

Counseling sessions in-person are generally considered the most helpful. For clients who are unable to drive, are ill or disabled, or don't have childcare, video or phone sessions with a counselor can be just what's needed. Depending on clients' counseling needs, therapists may require one or all of your sessions be conducted in-office.  

We know how hard you work to feel better. We know you are tired. Our therapists believe you deserve therapy that works and can offer fast results. All of our therapists are highly trained and specialize in providing goal oriented, top quality treatment. We are up to date with research and frequently attend science supported trainings. We work hard advancing our education so that you can feel your best. We help you to live your best life because that is what you deserve! We believe in offering treatment that actually works. You deserve to be validated and seen.  

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.
