Online Family Systems therapists in Massachusetts

A safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment can provide comfort and peace when sharing and self-reflecting on your life journey. I provide various resources to help clients build up their self-care and coping skills outside of sessions so the work we do together is reflectant in your everyday life. We will work together to learn to recognize a personal perception of an external situation and how it impacts emotions, body sensations, and behaviors, cope with negative feelings, build positive communication skills, and reduce feelings of anxiety so you can live life as your most fulfilled self. I understand the importance of taking the time to listen to the client’s concerns and understand their perspective. Clear expectations and providing consistent recognition and validation are essential to success. My priority is always to ensure the client receives the best possible care, and I will put in the necessary time and effort to ensure this. Setting achievable goals to help individuals grow professionally and personally is key to therapy. Mind our mind, everyone deserves care and support for mental health. There is no official point in determining when to consider therapy; it is part of health promotion and disease prevention. Just like many conditions, early detection is the key to wellness.  

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 offer counseling sessions over secure video at the client's request.  

Sessions are conveniently conducted online via Zoom.

Online video counseling (through a professional, secure, encrypted, and easy-to-use provider)! Research and experience have shown that online therapy is not only AS effective as in-person but sometimes even more so given its convenience and your ability to feel comfortable wherever you are and not lose time traveling and finding new places; it also provides an option for clinicians to access services outside of their professional network.

I provide online telehealth therapy through a secure and HIPAA compliant platform.

I specialize in men’s mental health issues and navigating 21st century manhood. I work with men on issues including perfectionism, unrealistic expectations, feelings of uncertainty towards life, feelings of failure, low self-worth, self-acceptance, values toward life decisions, relational issues toward spouse/partner, social skills, anger management, emotional regulation, role specification/identity, fatherhood, and meaning/purpose.

In my practice I use an "Intensive" model: one individual or one couple, with one therapist, working six hours a day for three to five days. And, yes it is intense. Most of my clients have experience being in psychotherapy, often without the results they want. They have never, inside the "one hour weekly therapy" model, been able to really adress the trauma and neglect in their history that drives their painful inner experience. They have ben too busy addressing the brushfires of daily life. In an Intensive we get to the drivers. And we can do it online from the privacy of your home if you wish.
