Through the world of therapy, I hope to bring more education and support to pregnant and postpartum people. My style of counseling is positive, person-centered and solution-focused. I believe that the most important part of perinatal mental health is prevention; entering into therapy prior to or during pregnancy is the most effective way to process birth and postpartum. I will provide a safe and soothing environment for all of my clients to work through their identified needs. I also have training in working with college-aged students and specifically athletes. I am licensed in both MA and CT.

I believe it is important to establish therapy for moms to be and received continued support through pregnancy and postpartum. I also work with moms who experienced miscarriages and infant loss. I am also able to support college students through early adulthood transitions, sports and relationships.

If you are in the beginning stages of planning for a family or you are postpartum, I am here to support you through these transitions. I also have extensive work with family systems so even older children and parenting support. Currently I am working on an athletic college campus so I am opening private practice to college students as well.

Welcome!

Our work together explores not just symptom relief, but what it means to live more fully and authentically. Together, we reconnect with your values, develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges, and explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping your present.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!

I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment.

I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.

Hi, I’m Pete Steele, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts, and I’ve been practicing for over 12 years. I specialize in trauma and post-traumatic growth, but I also work as a general practitioner with adults facing anxiety, loss, relationship challenges, or just the weight of being human. My approach is collaborative and grounded—I’ll follow your lead, make sure you’re safe, and help you explore the places that have felt too painful or complicated to face alone. Therapy with me can be honest, sometimes hard, often surprising, and deeply human. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know your story, and diving into the real work together.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right OCD therapist in Arlington, MA starts with understanding the type of care that fits your situation. Many providers on Headway offer structured therapeutic approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder, including ERP and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a qualified clinician can help determine what may be appropriate for your needs. If medication management is part of your care plan, psychiatrists on Headway can help with that too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Arlington or virtual appointments — many providers offer both.

OCD care in the Arlington area can be costly without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who specializes in OCD and accepts your coverage.

Once you've identified a few providers, read through their bios to learn about their approach, experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and what to expect in sessions. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good fit before committing to care.
