Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Lowell, MA

I’m committed to assisting you in moving forward and making changes in your life through empowerment. Often, individuals feel powerless to make needed changes in their life. As a result, they stop believing in themselves, give up and stop taking the risks they need to in order to make change.

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a steady, compassionate presence to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress. I believe healing happens in relationships that feel safe, respectful, and collaborative.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.

My name is J.J. Mull -- I'm a clinical social worker and therapist in private practice. I trained and Smith College School for Social Work and received advanced training in psychoanalytic treatment at Cambridge Health Alliance through Harvard Department of Psychiatry. Since finishing my training, I have worked in a wide range of settings with people struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, significant trauma, and many other issues. In addition to my clinical work, I am a writer, poet, and researcher and have been a professor in the Masters in Social Work program at Smith College for 4 years.

I believe mental health care should feel safe, compassionate, and deeply human. My approach combines psychiatry with a whole-person perspective, recognizing how stress, relationships, lifestyle, physical health, and past experiences can all affect emotional wellbeing. I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I especially value honesty, kindness, and building a genuine connection with the people I work with.
