I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who love them—especially when things feel like they’re at a breaking point. In my past full-time role, I worked in a residential treatment setting supporting teens and young adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, substance use, ADHD, and family conflict. I’ve sat with families during some of their hardest moments—crisis calls, treatment decisions, school refusal, shutdown, and explosive behavior—and I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel as the person of concern and parent. What makes my work different is that I don’t just focus on the individual—I work with the system. I help parents and young people rebuild communication, restore trust, and create real, lasting change at home, not just in a therapy room.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure what to do next, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You need insight into your problems, not more advice. I'm Matt, a licensed professional specializing in helping teens and emerging adults (13–30) keep their footing in the whirlwind of adolescence and becoming an adult.

Drawing from over three decades of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, and psychiatric rehabilitation, I offer specialized, personalized approaches for both individuals and couples. In couples counseling, our focus is on enhancing communication and fostering skills to reignite connections and reopen hearts. I approach our work with utmost respect, collaboration, and a deep appreciation for your unique journey. You are the expert in your own experience, I provide unwavering support, strategies and realistic optimism.

Counseling since 1987; (Masters, 1997). I understand on a deep level what it can be like to live with and overcome mental health challenges and to be impacted by and overcome an addiction; this experience enriches my empathy and informs my clinical practice and ability to connect and understand more fully with you. We are human beings, not a diagnosis.

Welcome! I am a licensed mental health therapist with eight years of experience specializing in trauma, personality disorders—particularly narcissism—mood disorders, and relationship challenges. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CBT, though my primary approach is EMDR therapy. I also collaborate with a skilled nurse practitioner to offer integrated support, including ketamine-assisted therapy when appropriate. My goal is to provide a compassionate and personalized path toward healing and growth. I look forward to working with you!

I graduated from the BIDMC/Harvard Psychiatry Residency Training Program in 2025.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. While talking is the most obvious way for communication, I also love to incorporate our somatic experiences during sessions (with your agreement, of course). As an immigrant from Taiwan, it's also my mission to provide my expertise for people struggling with "fit in", while transitioning to any new environments.

I’m Dr. Olivier Barthelemy (“Dr. Ollie”), a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults and adolescents facing challenges such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the individuals I work with feel stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, or persistent thought patterns that are hard to break.

I strive to create a structured and compassionate space where we can make sense of these experiences, reduce distress, and develop practical tools for lasting change. My approach is also informed by a strong foundation in neuropsychology, shaped through training at Boston University's Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) and the VA Boston Healthcare System.

This background deepens my understanding of how brain function and behavior interact, enriching both therapy and assessment. Drawing on both science and empathy, I’m committed to helping clients restore balance, strengthen resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I support women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and step into greater wholeness after years of over giving. Many of my clients come to me during times of stress, transition, or disconnection from their bodies, relationships or sense of purpose. My approach combines counseling and coaching with somatic techniques such as Reiki, creating a holistic path that supports body, mind and spirit. I offer a compassionate and space for healing, growth and transformation. Together, we release old patterns, awaken inner wisdom and open the way to a more authentic and empowered life.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) specializing in trauma-informed care for adolescents and adults. I help individuals navigate anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma including sexual trauma, medical trauma and emotional regulation challenges.

I could list all my accomplishments from the past 30 years, but that wouldn't give you a true sense of my style or beliefs. I strive to empathize, be respectful, and remain non judgemental. We all face worries, stresses, and challenges daily, and we all need someone who listens and understands. While family and friends can provide wonderful support, talking to someone with professional expertise and an outside perspective can be incredibly beneficial.
