Top Massachusetts teenagers therapists who accept cash payments

We all feel sad and down in the dumps sometimes; other times our feelings are much bigger and begin to rule our lives. Increased anxiety, feeling hopeless, having panic attacks, difficulty concentrating, and trouble sleeping do not have to control your life. Taking back control and working through emotions is possible. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulty dealing with life stressors such as relationships, work/school issues, self-esteem, and family issues. I provide tailored sessions for you. I am here for you if - you want someone to listen for 55 minutes; you want someone to ask the tough questions; you want to grow stronger as an employee, parent, friend, or individual. We can identify your strengths and obstacles and use them to make the tough changes. Therapy is a safe environment to explore and express yourself. We can work together towards your personal goals.
