Addiction and Substance Abuse Counseling near Southbridge, MA

Biography: I am a licensed psychotherapist in Massachusetts with over 25 years of clinical experience. I have worked in multiple settings, including crisis teams, day treatment programs, and hospitals. I have also been providing individual, couples, and group psychotherapy throughout this period. I adjust my clinical style based on the needs of the client. I am comfortable providing feedback and strategies if necessary, particularly if you are most interested in a problem-solving approach. I frequently utilize spiritual and existential modalities. I have extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, sInternal Family Systems, and Nonviolent Communication. I am particularly interested in working with people open to mindfulness and spiritual modalities. I have found the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy to be profound influential in my work and in my ability to be helpful to patients. Finally, if you are looking for a therapist who can make a quick connection, either with yourself or a loved one, I think I would be an excellent choice. Because of the current nature of my work in a hospital, I am comfortable in crisis situations, and with the importance of making an alliance early on in the therapeutic relationship. Good luck in your process. I commend you for taking this step in your journey.
