Find a Therapist in Westford, MA

You may be doing all the “right” things—going to work, showing up for others, keeping it together on the outside—but still feel anxious, low, or like something’s missing underneath it all. Maybe your teen is suddenly distant or overwhelmed, and you’re not sure how to help anymore. Or perhaps it’s hard to open up at all, like you're carrying emotions alone that no one else sees. You're not broken. You're not too much. You’re human, and you’re not alone. As a therapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in their relationships, lost in life transitions, or weighed down by anxiety, sadness, or shame they can’t always explain. Whether you're an adult juggling career and family stress or a teen drowning in academic and social pressure, we’ll work together to make sense of what you're feeling and begin creating a clearer path forward. In therapy, you don’t have to fake it or filter. You’ll have a calm, supportive space to explore what’s really going on, along with practical tools, honest insight, and space to heal. No judgment. No pressure. Just thoughtful, collaborative work focused on what matters to you.

I'm Alicia Lambert, a Primary Clinician at Rockland Recovery. With a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and a background as a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor, my approach is informed by a deep understanding of both the psychological and addiction-related aspects of mental health. In my practice, I emphasize a compassionate, client-centered approach. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is both supportive and empowering, allowing individuals to explore their challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space. My training in Clinical, Counseling, and Applied Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University equips me with a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, which I tailor to meet the unique needs of each client. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their journey to recovery, focusing on building resilience, developing coping strategies, and fostering personal growth. My goal is to guide clients toward a path of healing and self-discovery, supporting them in achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.

Feel that traditional therapy is not for you? I started YouTime Coaching almost a decade ago with an ambitious core belief: if you provide compassionate support, positive modeling, and skillful accountability, personal growth and change are very possible. We've had major success working with young people, adults, and families when it comes to academic work struggles, transitional challenges, focus & attention issues, communication, motivation, performance-related challenges, and self-confidence. I'm in this with you. Traditional therapy starts and ends in the office. YouTime Coaching utilizes, "in-between time" through call, text, and email to provide the support necessary to maintain positive momentum throughout the week. Also, we do not meet in an office setting but on more neutral turf in the community. Learn more at the website. YouTime Coaching specializes in ADHD, executive functioning, anxiety & depression, and Performance Psychology-related issues. We have seen it all (so it takes a lot to shock, no judgment here). We offer Youth and Adult Life Coaching as well as Parent Coaching.

Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, I provide personalized therapy with the aim to unearth barriers and foster a deeper connection to your true self. In our work together, we'll use holistic and integrative therapy to help you first "put out the fires" in your life and learn to keep them at bay so that you can connect with your inner self, align with your values, and find your purpose. Many people come to me for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes, looking for practical tools to "fix" their problems while working toward longer-term emotional balance, self-compassion, and a fulfilling life. I can help you navigate your emotions in the here and now, understand past challenges so they can stop plaguing you, build resilience, and ultimately move forward with intention. I understand the courage it takes to seek support and a desire to lead a more fulfilling life. Together, we can navigate challenges, uncover your strengths, and work towards goals. Your journey to self-discovery and healing is unique, and I'm here to guide your every step. Let's embark on this transformative path together, moving from pain to celebrating empowerment.

It feels like you’re drifting—maybe even lost. You give everything to those around you, yet no one seems to be there to take care of you. It’s as if you’re drowning, and no one notices. The weight of it all makes you feel sick, sometimes so much that you miss work. If one more person asks for something, you might just explode. Your eating habits are all over the place—just last night, you finished an entire pizza. You’re at your breaking point. You’re constantly giving, yet those around you still complain about your attitude. They say: "You’re angry." "You’re too negative." "You don’t take care of yourself." "I’m worried about you." But they don’t see how much you already do. You’ve always taken care of everyone else. And in return? More demands. More expectations. You’re running on empty, and there’s nothing left to give… You’re ready for a change. You long for support—someone outside your usual circle, someone who isn’t constantly asking for more from you. You want to feel secure in your relationships, with strong, healthy boundaries that protect your well-being. You’re ready to be cared for, not just the one always doing the caring. It’s time to reclaim your balance, your peace, and your sense of self. I am Abigail Blackburn. The kind of therapy I practice is called interpersonal or relational therapy. This approach focuses on the relationships in your life—past and present—and how they shape your emotions, behaviors, and sense of self. Our early experiences, especially those in childhood, play a significant role in how we navigate relationships as adults. We often carry unspoken lessons, patterns, and expectations that can impact our ability to connect, communicate, and set boundaries. In interpersonal therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you recognize what’s working, what’s not, and how to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Whether you're struggling with conflict, emotional disconnection, or people-pleasing tendencies, this therapy offers a space to understand your relational dynamics and develop new ways of engaging with others. By deepening your awareness and making intentional shifts, you can experience more meaningful connections, a stronger sense of self, and the confidence to set boundaries that honor your needs. Using interpersonal or relational therapy, I can help you reach the change you are looking for. I can help create boundaries and feel secure in your relationships. I can help you explore and protect your well-being. I can help you find that balance and sense of self you are looking for.

What would it be like to be able to look inside yourself and value what you find there? Our starting point for all we hope for in life is our connection with ourselves, and this truth is at the heart of how I offer support, guidance, growth, and deeply desired change to clients.

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 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!

We are all addicted to Not-Being-Here-Now, Not-Feeling-This-Feeling, Not-Facing-This-Thing. These are our core addictions. We all have them. They may manifest as unhealthy relationships to drugs, alcohol, food, sex, gambling, smoking, working, etc. There are many ways in which we avoid being present to our own experience of being human. I'd like to explore with you the ways in which you hide from your Self. I’m interested in identifying your particular brilliance in avoiding your pain in order to help you conceptualize it and redefine your relationship to it. Together we will explore what it means to be fully human and fully engaged with life. We'll identify and bring to light those dark, intolerable parts of yourself that you’ve tried to deny, and together we will begin to approach, bear, and hold the unbearable. We'll explore new ways for you to relate to your past that will enable you to experience a new freedom and a new happiness. Responsibility, freedom, and choice are the keys to this work. I offer a free initial 15 minute telehealth consultation. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and it is imperative that you find the right fit with your therapist. The best way to get a sense of whether we will work well together is to meet face to face. Email is the best way to reach me. Please check your spam folder, as my responses occasionally wind up there.
