Find a Therapist near Wellesley, MA

My journey as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor has been driven by a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their path to recovery. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of guiding many through this challenging yet rewarding journey. My approach is rooted in the belief that each person's path to recovery is unique. I understand that the challenges of addiction are complex and multifaceted, which is why I focus on creating a personalized and meaningful recovery plan for each of our clients. In my role as Executive Director at Rockland Recovery Treatment Center, Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health, and the Massachusetts Center for Addiction, I strive to provide a supportive and understanding environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered. I believe in a holistic approach to recovery, one that addresses not just the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional, mental, and social factors that play a crucial role. My methods involve a combination of evidence-based practices and compassionate, client-centered therapy. This blend ensures that we not only tackle the immediate challenges of addiction but also lay a strong foundation for long-lasting sobriety and a fulfilling life in recovery. At the heart of my approach is a steadfast belief in the resilience and strength of each person I work with. I am here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you reclaim your life from addiction. Together, we can work towards a future of health, happiness, and sustained recovery.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, stress, anger, or urges to engage in maladaptive coping mechanisms? I am here to provide a safe space to work through day-to-day challenges and process difficult experiences and emotions. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe so that we can build a collaborative relationship that fosters growth and allows you to be vulnerable, open, and honest. Starting therapy can be difficult and daunting, yet such a brave step to take. I will be here to work through it all with you. I have been working with adolescents in residential, outpatient, and inpatient treatment settings. In my current inpatient work, I provide therapy for a wide range of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, borderline personality, and psychosis, in addition to behavioral challenges, self-harming behaviors, and suicidal ideation. I love hearing about your strengths, interests, and goals. I want to help you feel as comfortable as possible. My focus is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship in which you can share anything you are struggling with, as well as successes. I believe everyone deserves a chance to heal, and I would love to be a part of that journey with you.

Through The Trees Therapy currently has openings for clients both in person and telehealth, contact us today! At Through The Trees Therapy we believe that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and sometimes we just need the help and guidance of someone else to help us uncover what they are and help us navigate what they mean. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents to help them unlock potential and see how making changes could help them manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am also passionate about working with young adults and adults to identify areas of their life where they may need to make changes in patterns and other ways of thinking that they may have never thought of before. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use this in conjunction with other types of therapy to tailor treatment to each individual. I help people look at how their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are linked and to look for ways to make adjustments in these to reduce distress. I am also certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. My clients describe me as kind, understanding, and non-judgmental. I know taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can be a difficult one, but my hope is that together we can collaboratively create a space for you to feel empowered and in control of your life again. Feel free to contact me for scheduling!

**Accepting new clients** What if you could start feeling better? I would love to support and explore how we can make change happen for you. Maybe you are tired of managing those racing thoughts on your own or struggling to figure out the best next step for your career or relationship - either way I can help. I work with clients whose anxiety-depression has made it difficult to get the most out of their day. Together, we can work to figure out how to feel less overwhelmed and more empowered to do what you want to do without the worry getting in the way. My style is interactive and I hope to create a space where all thoughts and feelings are welcome. I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. In addition, I have a wealth of experience working with members of the LGBTQ community with a focus of addressing gender dysphoria-gender identity. Taking the first step is always the hardest part of any journey. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone - I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I have been working in the helping field related to counseling for almost 20 years. In that time I have learned that the best way to help others is to be an excellent listener, to be compassionate, empathetic, and to collaborate with individuals to assist them in gaining the tools that they need to make positive change in their lives. I work hard to encourage clients that the strength for change lies within them and my job is to help them find it. I utilize a great deal of mindfulness based techniques and believe that learning the process of becoming more mindful in life can be extremely beneficial to problem solving and learning to sit with discomfort. As a counselor I do not believe that I have all of the answers or can fix anyone, however, I do believe that if the client is willing to do the work to create change in their life that I can assist them in doing so successfully. Ultimately, my goal for the counseling relationship is to assist clients in managing stress more effectively and learning skills that can be used well after the counseling relationship has terminated, in a straightforward and honest approach.

You’ve always felt like you had to earn your worth. Maybe it shows up in overworking, perfectionism, people pleasing, or a constant sense that you are falling short, no matter how hard you try. You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside, you feel disconnected, anxious, and never enough. If you are tired of carrying that quiet heaviness, you are in the right place. I work with people who have spent years hustling for love, safety, and belonging, often because of early experiences where their needs were ignored or love came with conditions. Together, we will gently explore the roots of those patterns, not to blame the past, but to understand how it shaped your self-worth. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I blend relational and somatic therapies with practical tools to help you feel more secure in yourself and your relationships. Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about reminding you that you were never broken in the first place. You deserve to feel at home in yourself, and I would be honored to help you get there.

TELE HEALTH Life can simply work better at times with some help. Psychotherapy is an effective tool, both to resolve deep seated difficulties rooted in the past and to make headway with the more immediate issues in our present day lives. It can help relieve anxiety, depression and stress and can help you with relationships with family, at work and in a more general way. My approach is interactive, using a psychoanalytic context to understand current difficulties. While clients want to better deal with long-standing issues rooted in the past, they also want present - oriented help resolving these troubles.

I am a multi-state-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with almost a decade of experience and while I’m based in New England, I am licensed in multiple states (MA, NY, TN, FL, NH, VT, ME) and meet via telehealth for your convenience. I strive to be warm, validating, and honest, helping you rediscover your values, and find joy in your identity. My approach is relaxed and honest, light-hearted but serious when needs must, and I’m a real person with a real life who also happens to be a therapist — not a stiff AI projection of a “therapist” like you see on TV. I really enjoy helping people, just like you, who feel burnt out, anxious, overwhelmed, and sick of the life they’ve found themselves living. You might be looking for some anxiety coping skills, ways to get out of that soul-crushing job, identity exploration, or need someone to just listen as you verbally process through something. Many of my clients also self-identify as perfectionistic, type-A, overcontrolled and or achievement-driven. More personally, I’m a sucker for the color blue, SNL cast members breaking character, a super laminated croissant, and a bouquet of fresh flowers in my kitchen. I’m a proud elder millennial and I love a good pun. If we work together, you’re more than likely to meet my golden retriever, Teddy, who is the absolute goodest boy imaginable (and no, i’m not biased — I only used peer-reviewed methodologies in my practice ;).

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
