Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Westford, MA

I am Sam Vaccaro, Integrative Therapist from the Berkshires. I am passionate about helping women reach their mental health and wellness goals. You are a whole person & your care should include all parts of you. Many mental health treatments focus on the mind or emotional health. My approach focuses on emotional, physical, spiritual, social health & more.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Massachusetts. I offer comprehensive treatment combining medication with lifestyle and behavioral interventions. I help adult clients manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and substance use disorder. I also specialize in helping women navigate the peri and postpartum periods. I use evidence-based treatments that consider the client’s biological, psychological, spiritual, and social needs.

Choosing a psychiatric provider is a personal decision, and I approach that with care. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in adult mental health, I focus on understanding you as a whole person and creating a treatment plan that fits your life.

I have worked with diverse populations and often see how anxiety, trauma, stress, and executive dysfunction can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well being. I treat adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use concerns, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including complex cases. I especially enjoy working with college students, professionals, and business leaders who are balancing demanding schedules and high expectations. I also collaborate with caregivers and other professionals to ensure well rounded care.

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University. I’ve spent the past eight years working in child protection social work supporting teens and families, and earlier in my career I worked with adults living with severe and persistent mental illness through the Department of Mental Health.

I specialize in working with teenage boys and young men struggling with anxiety, ADHD, low motivation, school stress, emotional regulation, and conflict at home. Many parents reach out when their son seems stuck, withdrawn, or increasingly focused on gaming, vaping, or marijuana, and they’re not sure how to help without creating more tension.

I also work closely with teens and young men navigating the transition from high school into college, work, or greater independence—helping them build confidence, direction, and practical life skills during this important stage.

I focus first on building trust, especially with teens who may be unsure about therapy. Many of the teens I work with aren’t sure they want therapy at first, and part of my role is helping them feel comfortable enough to see that support can actually be useful and relevant to their lives. From there, I help them develop practical skills to manage stress, improve focus and motivation, and move forward with greater confidence.

I am a behavioral health clinician specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, trauma‐related conditions, and the emotional complexities that arise alongside chronic medical and cognitive challenges. My practice blends clinical precision with a calm, supportive presence, helping individuals feel understood, grounded, and empowered throughout their care.

Don’t just treat symptoms—but listen for the story behind them.

Integration of medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial threads into a coherent and dignified plan.
