LGBT therapists in Chelmsford, MA

I’m Latoya Smith, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

I’m not just a therapist—I’m a mom, a mentor, and a middle child from a big Miami family. I know what it’s like to juggle responsibilities, to feel unseen, and to keep pouring from an empty cup. That lived experience shapes how I connect, how I listen, and how I help.

Hi! My name is Jill Thomas. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Boise State University in 2013 and received an advanced degree in Business from Vanderbilt University in 2020. I am trained in perinatal mental health, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, DBT, CBT and utilize somatic therapies whenever I can. I am a yoga teacher and find movement to be a valuable tool.

Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges on your own. With almost 10 years of experience, I provide support to individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, and stress, as well as those exploring AAPI and gender identity issues. I also work with children and teens who are managing emotional and behavioral challenges. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from CSUSB. Whether you’re feeling stuck or striving for personal growth, I’m here to help!

I do my best work with adolescents and adults. My experience spans over 30 years. I focus on each person's strengths and provide support by bolstering their resilience and courage. Together we move toward change and greater health.

As an independent licensed clinical social worker, with 12 plus years of experience and a current Ph.D. student, I approach therapy as a collaborative process centered on compassion, authenticity, and growth. My style is down-to-earth and supportive, while also gently challenging when needed to help you uncover patterns and build lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches—including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices—while always tailoring the work to your unique needs and strengths.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and recovery. My background includes years of experience supporting clients in both outpatient and community mental health settings, which taught me that true healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and empowered to take small, steady steps forward.

Clients often describe my style as calm, engaging, and practical. I believe in combining insight with action—helping you not only understand what’s happening but also find concrete ways to move through it. Whether we’re addressing past trauma, current stressors, or future goals, my goal is to help you reconnect with your resilience and rediscover a sense of meaning and momentum in your life.

Your brain is always going, a constant loop of ideas, worries, and “shoulds.” You feel pulled in a million directions but can’t seem to start or finish the things that matter most. Deadlines sneak up, motivation comes in bursts, and overwhelm feels like your baseline. You might procrastinate until the last minute, avoid things that feel scary or hard, or overcommit to keep everyone happy, only to feel burned out and guilty later. Shame and self-criticism show up daily. More than anything, you want to quiet the mental noise, feel capable and calm, and stop beating yourself up.
