Hi, I'm Rachel — and if your child is struggling, you're in exactly the right place.
I know how hard it is to watch your loved one deal with anxiety, sadness, or stress and not know how to help. That's where I come in. I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with young children — from preschool all the way through preteen — and helping them build the kind of skills that actually make a difference in their everyday lives.
My background is rooted in schools. I've been a school social worker in Norwell, Plymouth, and Sandwich, which means I understand the world your child is living in — the classroom pressures, the social dynamics, the moments that feel too big to handle alone. I bring that real-world context into every session.
Maryam is a deeply committed healer, teacher, and lifelong seeker, devoted to the integration of mind, body, and spirit in the pursuit of true well-being. With seven college degrees spanning the fields of massage therapy, nursing, and mental health, she brings a uniquely holistic and multidimensional approach to her work.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New Bedford, MA
Searching for therapists in New Bedford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare New Bedford therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. A therapist who works with your specific concern, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, may be a stronger fit for what you want to address.
New Bedford is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in New Bedford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find therapists in New Bedford, MA who match your needs and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details — so you can review bios, compare availability, confirm coverage for your specific plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
