 Depression, fear, and anxiety are among the most common—and often most overwhelming—emotional challenges people face. These conditions can interfere with daily life, disrupt relationships, and make it difficult to find joy, motivation, or peace of mind. But with the right support, change is possible. Our clinicians work with you to better understand the roots of your emotional distress and develop personalized strategies to reduce symptoms and regain a sense of clarity, balance, and purpose. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, panic, fatigue, low mood, or hopelessness, we use evidence-based therapies to support meaningful, lasting change. For clients who may benefit from medication as part of their treatment plan, we collaborate closely with trusted local psychiatric nurse practitioners. These providers offer thorough psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. This integrative model ensures that therapy and medical support work together—enhancing overall treatment outcomes and aligning with each client’s preferences and goals.

 Many individuals experience lasting emotional and psychological effects from painful or traumatic events. Symptoms such as anxiety, fear, shame, and hopelessness often linger long after the trauma itself—and for some, these unresolved experiences can lead to unhealthy coping strategies, including substance use. At our practice, we understand the deep connection between trauma and addiction. We offer trauma-informed counseling to help you process your experiences, regain a sense of safety and control, and reduce the emotional distress that often fuels substance use. Our clinicians are trained to address both trauma and co-occurring substance use disorders, using evidence-based therapies that support healing, emotional regulation, and long-term recovery. Whether you're coping with PTSD, childhood trauma, abuse, or grief, we’re here to guide you through the healing process with care and respect.

 Counseling plays a vital role in the recovery process for individuals struggling with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). Our experienced clinicians provide individualized therapy to help clients better understand the underlying causes of their substance use, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a foundation for long-term recovery. We recognize that effective treatment often involves multiple supports. That’s why our approach integrates individual counseling with other proven modalities—such as 12-step programs, group therapy, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), when clinically appropriate and desired by the client. In addition to treatment, we also offer comprehensive Substance Use Evaluations for the Massachusetts RMV, Trial Courts, and both State and Federal Probation departments. Our evaluations are conducted professionally, with attention to clinical accuracy and the unique circumstances of each case. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or navigating a mandated evaluation, we provide compassionate, judgment-free care to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
