Therapists for college students near 02138
I am accepting new clients! I believe in the power of therapy to help people connect with inner wisdom, explore and build upon strengths, and process difficulties in a supportive and non-judgmental space. I view the therapeutic relationship as being fundamental to growth and change, as it lays the groundwork for you to work through vulnerable feelings and explore relational patterns. I try to foster this relationship by connecting on a human level and providing an atmosphere of care, acceptance, openness, curiosity, and humility. While I tend not to give advice, I may share new perspectives, offer tools for change, or help you draw connections between current patterns and past experiences. I deeply respect your decision to seek therapy and look forward to getting to know you.

Hi! I'm Samantha, I have been a social worker for over 3 years, providing services to youth and young adults. I am licensed in both Maine and Massachusetts, providing telehealth in both states.

I work mostly with adolescents, and young adults navigating general stress, anxiety, and school related issues. I also specialize in special education services. I utilize a strength based approach, pulling from CBT, DBT and play therapy.
Welcome! My name is Leah, and I am an experienced, down-to-earth licensed clinical therapist. I believe that all thoughts, emotions, and behaviors deserve curiosity and compassion - even the ones that may be causing us to struggle or are holding us back. I invite you to bring both challenges and successes to sessions. I provide trauma informed and culturally humble care to adults across the age span, and I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) model. My past work experience includes both medical and psychiatric hospital settings, hospice & palliative care, and community based mental health. I have worked with LGBTQIA+ communities for over a decade, and I value providing gender affirming care. Some other areas of specialization include academic stress, executive functioning and neurodivergence, chronic illness, perfectionism, body image, self esteem, family relationships, and trauma. I would be honored to hear your story, and work together towards your goals.
Happiness, a state of being that is unaffected by external circumstances. I am a clinical social worker and a Life Coach in training and am certified in Emotional Intelligence Coaching. As your personal Life Coach, I will work with you to gain clarity about what you really want out of, and in, your own life. We will work together to define your dreams, hopes, and desires and establish a plan to help you achieve your goals. You will come to live a life of freedom and empowerment. Many come seeking guidance when struggling with grief, sadness, loss, parenting issues, eating disorders, relationships, coming out and transitioning, ACOA issues, career and job transition, and many other issues. I also provide surgical consultations and letters for gender affirming surgeries.
I believe therapy can help people overcome obstacles, achieve their full potential, and work towards meaningful change. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I work closely with my clients to develop customized treatment plans that meet their unique needs. I have experience working with clients with a wide range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, empathy, and respect for each individual's experiences and perspectives. I draw on a range of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy, to help clients achieve their goals. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients to live their best lives. I'm committed to helping each person I work with develop the skills and tools they need to overcome challenges, build resilience, and find joy and fulfillment in their lives.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Emotions running wild? Past traumas haunting your present? As a trained therapist, I specialize in addressing underlying issues swiftly. With warmth and empathy, I'll create a safe space for you to overcome these struggles and transition from simply surviving to thriving. As a therapist, I act as an emotional support, teacher, and guide on the client’s journey so they gain the skills, insight, and confidence they need. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and heal from whatever they have experienced in life. I am trained in EMDR which is a powerful therapy technique that can facilitate the reprocessing of traumatic or negative experiences. It reduces emotional distress and promotes healing, leading to improved emotional well-being and a greater sense of empowerment. I am also trained in IFS, which is a transformative therapy approach that helps individuals understand their emotional struggles. It views the mind as a system of different parts, each with its own unique role and purpose. By fostering self-awareness and compassion, IFS allows individuals to develop a harmonious relationship with their internal parts leading to increased self-acceptance, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of wholeness and inner peace.
I provide individual psychotherapy for late adolescents and adults presenting with a wide range of clinical presentations and backgrounds.

I have more specialized experience with anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family of origin concerns, college mental health, and trauma/PTSD. My style is warm and engaged, holding an accepting/non-judgmental stance. I draw specifically from humanistic, relational, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral approaches to support my clients in enhancing self-awareness/insight, reducing distress, and ultimately achieving a greater quality of life.

You smile and say “I’m fine” but it's not true. You don’t necessarily know what’s wrong so sometimes you even convince yourself you're OK. You feel overwhelmed trying to balance the demands of being a student, living on your own, preparing for your future, maintaining relationships with family/friends, gaining financial independence, etc. It feels like everybody around you has it all under control. You question whether you're depressed or anxious. Maybe you've learned to cope by scrolling on your phone and self-medicating. You want to learn healthier coping skills. You want to talk to someone who only has YOU in mind. You deserve to find a therapist who will listen, care, support and advocate for you. I have experience working with college-aged students who present with a variety of concerns including: ADHD, anxiety and depression, domestic violence, eating disorders, grief/loss, life transitions, relational conflict, self-esteem issues, stress management, substance use, and trauma. Check out my website to learn more about me! I offer an initial 45-minute consultation free of charge to all potential clients so you can make sure I am a good fit for you.
