ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Hanover, MA

Hi folks,

The picture you see above is what you get. I am a middle aged, white, lesbian, with experience in parenting and caretaking.

I am deeply committed to studying and practicing anti-racism, and recognize the limitations of my demographic point of view.

With a background in working with children and adults dealing with the stress of family separation, I have experience with acute mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and trauma. I am working with adults at this time.

Is there a heavy feeling in your chest that you just can't seem to shake? Do you ever feel as if your coping skills are not working or you just don't have the desire to even try anymore? Are you losing sleep because your thoughts are racing? Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Family Issues, Maritial Infidelity, ADHD or Life Transitions? If it is difficult for you, then it's important to talk about. Therapy will help you to explore your understanding of why you feel the way you do.

As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I believe in meeting clients where they are at and helping them to achieve their goals. I am a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (C-DBT) and have extensive experience working with the neurodivergent community, having received certification as an Autism Specialist (ASDCS). In the past I have worked with those who have ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, language-based challenges, executive functioning, social cognition, social pragmatics, family dynamics, and self esteem.

Hello! My name is Nicole, she/hers pronouns, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have worked with multiple different populations, across the lifespan. I have been trained in different cognitive based therapeutic modalities, and specialize in trauma treatment. I am currently employed as a Clinical Supervisor in an outpatient mental health clinic, providing direct clinical support to providers and patients.

With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and over 6 years serving the Worcester community, I’m a licensed LMHC who brings warmth, curiosity, and a good sense of humor into the therapy room. I work with youth and families using a mix of modalities, and brief solution-focused approaches, and I’m especially committed to creating an open-minded, affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and diverse communities.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families I specialize in treating anxiety and depression. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I also enjoy working with teenage and younger clients. I see many people who are going through life transitions. When one is going through grief and loss, education challenges, relationship difficulties, a new family member, pain or illness, it can be particularly difficult to cope and particularly beneficial to be in therapy to work through these issues with an unbiased ear. I also specialize in working with individuals who have struggles with chronic pain. I completed my training at Simmons Graduate School of Social Work in Boston.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing therapy for teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, identity concerns, and life transitions. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’re just going through the motions while trying to keep everything together. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, grounded, and easy to open up in. My style is warm, real, and practical, and I focus on helping you feel more steady, understood, and clear about what comes next.
