Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Newton, MA

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts and have been working in clinical social work since 2014. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns and populations. Having spent several years working in the inpatient setting, I have worked with people from every background. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, substance use disorders, anger management, and psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

I have professional and personal experience with many mental health issues. I only share what has worked for clients and me. I am curious and open to learning about everyone's unique culture and way of life.

My very general bio would be:

I grew up in MA. I went to both public and catholic schools. I earned a 2nd degree black belt from Premier Martial Arts. I earned a BA in Psychology from uml. I worked at a group home for teenagers, then one for adult men with schizophrenia. I worked as a support and then a lead teacher at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities. There, I learned a lot about Behaviorism and ABA. I was then able to work as a clinician as I finished my graduate degree.

I earned my graduate degree at Fitchburg State University. I did my internship at the Community Health Center in Fitchburg. I worked in community mental health before venturing out on my own.

I have worked in several clinical and therapeutic settings including working in private practice for several years, and having had the unique opportunity to work with underprivileged folks in a correctional setting both in an individual therapy and group therapy capacity. These unique experiences have given me the opportunity to work across a variety of settings and acquire a multidisciplinary approach for individuals with unique and specific needs.

Hi I'm Monique I'm a trauma and attachment specialist. I work best with children, families, parents and young to middle-aged adults.

My style is relaxed and humorous but very comprehensive and healing-focused.

I listen to a very broad range of music, I speak French, I meditate and I have a brilliant toddler named Santana.

My name is Stephanie O'Neill and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. After many years of working in the nonprofit world, I entered the mental health field to help individuals more closely. I have worked in a community mental health setting and have experience with clients of different ages and diagnoses. I provide a supportive environment to help you gain greater insight, clarity, and encouragement to live the life you want to live. I help troubleshoot the areas of your life where you feel stuck and explore ways you can move forward to live with greater joy and ease. Clients I have worked with report that they feel genuinely cared for, and value the relationship we have formed.

I'm Tiff. I work with individuals who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or identity and life transitions. Many of my clients are veterans adjusting to civilian life, survivors of trauma, or people seeking affirming care around gender identity and self-exploration. What they share is a desire for safety, relief, and a greater sense of ease in their body and relationships.

I understand how heavy it can feel to carry these experiences alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel seen, and begin healing in a way that feels sustainable. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at home in yourself.

Great to meet you!
