Hi, I’m Angelica, Healthy Relationship Expert for high-achieving professionals who have a great life, but keep finding themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns & are ready to heal them now! You’ve probably wondered how you can be so successful in life but keep struggling in relationships and I’m here to tell you that it’s not your fault- you just haven’t identified the root cause that keeps you settling and giving too many chances. When we work together, I’ll take you through my proven process to keeping your dignity and healing the patterns preventing you from having healthy relationships that last. Clients who have committed to this process and applied it to their life have seen results such as: finding the love of their life and getting into a long-term loving relationship with open and healthy communication, no longer being the doormat in their family dynamic, improving their co-parenting, renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem, and more! If you’re ready to stop settling, do the inner-work, and finally have healthy, happy, fulfilling relationships, I invite you to inquire about working with me. From someone who's been there, I know it's worth the investment to heal these patterns at the root so that you can have healthy relationships now and forever.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I provide therapeutic services to clients through a clinical lens of strength, resilience, and empowerment. My goal is to help clients examine who they want to be, navigate the path toward that vision, and process the experiences that have shaped them. I center on each client’s needs, creating a space that fosters insight and practical tools so that clients feel more grounded, clear, and aligned with their values. I will meet you with enthusiasm, compassion, empathy, and humor. I provide individual, virtual therapy in New York State and Massachusetts. I see clients Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM.

I am a partner at Leek Therapy. My focus is primarily on adult populations and I have experience with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and bipolar as well as stressors such as major life transitions, grief/loss, relationships, and family dynamics. My work has included de-escalation strategies to help manage anger and emotional control. As an LADC in addition to being an LMHC, I'm comfortable working with clients in early recovery and detox to help manage the challenges that come with sobriety. I'm prepared to help both those who just need a little guidance and support and those struggling with much more serious problems. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychological Science from Fitchburg State University, a Master's Degree in Psychological Counseling from Northeastern University, an MBA, and specialty certifications. So, lots of letters after my name. But I'm also kind, open, caring, and funny, all that education supports my wish to help people on a personal level. My approach is client-centered with an emphasis on motivational interviewing and talk therapy. My goal is to build trust and rapport so that clients can have open, honest conversations about their thoughts, feelings, and struggles and I work to provide a framework for clients to make positive changes in their lives.

I am a partner at Leek Therapy. I am committed to fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, where you can truly be you! My approach supports transparency, collaboration, and empowerment to help clients overcome obstacles, manage stress, and promote healing. When working with me, I will draw from my education and experience by utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Our work together will be tailored towards your goals and objectives with promoting growth and building confidence.

Couples seek my help when they are ready to get unstuck from dissatisfying patterns. Others seek help to overcome sexual dysfunction or to increase their sexual pleasure. Helping others to live satisfying lives and love relationships is my goal and passion. For a person to live a satisfying life, individually or as a couple, he or she must develop emotional strength and the ability to love. To stand for oneself and to be true to oneself takes strength. A individual needs to love him or herself deeply, others and life, in order to have fulfilling relationships and life satisfaction. The treatment I offer individuals and couples is focused on guidance to develop strength and deep love for oneself, romantic partners and others. I guide couples in all forms of safe and consensual partner play.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST), couple, family systems, and relationship therapist, specializing in sexual health and and relationships, helping clients achieve pleasure, play, passion, fun, life satisfaction, happiness, and healing through self-growth and connection with significant others, primary partners and family members. I’m passionate about helping clients achieve satisfying intimacy, healthy sexuality, and enjoyable family relationships for optimal health including sexual health, relational health, mental health, and well-being. I utilize a mix of narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness (MBCT), evidenced-based practices, and more. With twenty-two years of experience in helping clients with relationships, sexual health, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, parenting, problems related to substance use, illnesses, disabilities, aging, and more, I’m eager to meet you and help you reach your goals. My professional and real-world experience in the arts and in business for more than forty years has given me a broad, unique range of experience, earning a reputation for being highly effective, affable, and able to set clients at ease. I currently provide Telehealth and video-conferencing services only. The outcomes are equally as successful as in-person visits. I chose to become a specialist in sexual health, couples, and family work when I noticed a great need for satisfaction in relationships. Sex and Couples Therapy addresses a myriad of problems including relational anxiety, individual anxiety, depression, differences in desire levels or desire discrepancy, parenting styles, “sex addiction” or out-of-control sexual behavior, infidelity, disability, illness, sexual orientation, gender identity, traumatic experiences, substance use, and more, as well as problems related to privilege and equity in relationships. The core of my work is rooted in the idea that to be human is to be sexual and to achieve truly satisfying relationships that endure over time takes desire, empathy, effort, and intention.

I believe that everyone encounters situations in life that call for guidance. Sometimes it's a life change that requires temporary support - or it can be more involved, such as recurring patterns or distressing events that require more long term exploration. I believe you are the expert in your own life and have the answers you need within. My goal is to offer a safe, sacred, non-judgmental and supportive space for you to find them. My approach is direct and down to earth. I want the people I work with to get what they need so they can manage their lives more effectively and joyously.

When communication breaks down or emotional distance grows, it can feel lonely and frustrating—even when you love your partner. I help couples and individuals in Cambridge, MA, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and find a deeper sense of connection. When you reach the point where communication feels impossible, or the same arguments keep returning, it can leave you feeling disconnected and alone—even when you're with the person you love. You might be tired of trying to fix things on your own, unsure how to break the cycle, and wondering if things can truly change. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and it's possible to find a new way forward. I work with couples and individuals who want to strengthen their relationships, understand themselves more deeply, and rebuild trust and emotional safety. In therapy, we slow things down so we can see the patterns beneath conflict—the unspoken needs, fears, and hopes that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we explore not just what's going wrong, but also what's trying to heal. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with mindfulness and self-reflection. For couples, I integrate Gottman Method principles and sex therapy when intimacy or connection feels strained. Sessions are active and collaborative, focused on insight, communication skills, and practical tools you can use between sessions. I believe that real growth doesn't stop when the session ends. That's why I work with you both inside and outside of therapy using Blueprint, a secure app that helps you track progress, practice new skills, and stay connected to your goals throughout the week. This ongoing process helps therapy feel more relevant and grounded in your daily life. I'm also the author of Always and Forever: Goals for a Healthy Relationship and the creator of the Self-Reflective Relationship Therapy (SRRT) Workbook, a six-week path designed to strengthen connection, improve communication, and promote lasting growth. These tools reflect my belief that lasting change comes from insight, practice, and compassion—both for yourself and for each other. Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and grounded. I aim to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to grow. Change is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

My goal as a psychologist is to help you navigate the rocky areas of life with more insight, self-compassion, and the tools you need to thrive. I have had the pleasure of working for over a decade with amazing individuals who reached out for support during transitional, challenging, or difficult times. I treat a host of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, image, self-esteem and confidence, and mood issues. I am trained with a Master’s in Counseling and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with an approach that looks comprehensively at an entire person’s life, including mindfulness-centered cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), cognitive therapy, dialectical behavior therapies (DBT), and self-compassion and confidence training. I am empathetic to anxiety around meeting with a new therapist. I am happy to answer any questions to make your experience more comfortable and help you get started. I personally return your emails and telephone calls by the next business day.

I work with individuals who are trying to make changes in their lives but don't know where or how to start. Individuals who can see familiar patterns but can’t seem to break them. Sometimes it's wanting to develop more meaningful, fulfilling, healthier relationships. For others it’s taking a big step towards a new career or figuring out changes they need to make in their life to feel happier. While some of my other clients are about to enter, or recently entered, parenthood and are navigating all the feelings that brings up. You want to do things differently but the anxiety, overthinking, and uncertainty get in the way. Together in our sessions we'll identify patterns, better understand them, and work together to come up with a plan of how to achieve your goals. My background is in working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, expectingnew moms and dads, infertility, and life transitions. It can be hard taking the first step when you're struggling, but you've already done it by being here! If you live in MA or NJ, are open to telehealth sessions, and think we may be a good match, you can learn more about me at my website. I look forward to hearing from you!

I welcome your courage in sharing your challenges with me and believe that we can work together using evidence-based therapy to create change. Our relationship matters to me and I will check in with you frequently about our work. I bring respect, empathy, humor, and authenticity (I'm a real person!) to the therapy room. I often work with body image and eating issues (e.g., food restrictionother), addiction, anxiety & OCD, insomnia, depression, trauma & PTSD, shame, perfectionism, relationship issues and parenting. I am a certified couples' and Level 2 AEDP and IFS therapist. I also use mindfulness, CBT and DBT heavily in my practice. I draw on evolutionary psychology to understand how our feelings (e.g., anxiety, fear, anger, joy) evolved to protect us and push us to take survival-oriented actions that we may or may not want to take. I use mindfulness to help us gain awareness of feelings and make new choices when needed. I am part-time faculty at Harvard Medical School, where I trained. I often work with adult professionals as well as adolescents and young adults. I enjoy meditating and spending time in nature — rock-climbing, hiking and cycling. I grew up in Europe in a diverse family and bring a multicultural sensitivity to therapy. I conduct therapy in French and Spanish as well, languages I am fluent in. https:www.dremilymanove.com
