My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

I see therapy as a process of discovery about you and how you relate to yourself and to the world. It is a process where, as I help you to talk about your thoughts and feelings, you can learn to create the life and relationships that really work. As we focus on the issues you bring to therapy, our talking will affect the ways in which you relate to the world and how you experience the ways in which the world impacts on and influences you. For some, therapy is about problem solving and may be crisis oriented. For others, therapy may be useful in dealing with difficult feelings like depression, anger or anxiety. Therapy can be helpful with relationships that are problematic. I have found that patients are often surprised to discover that the difficulties they have in one relationship have so much in common with other significant relationships in their lives. This may, for example, result in finding that problems one has in dealing with a boss are similar to those experienced with a partner or parents. It can be scary and exciting to become aware of how you (like all of us) repeat patterns that create limits for a more satisfying life. In our work you can learn to change these old ways of behaving. I work with a wide range of issues and specialize in working with young adults who have difficulties with separation and transitioning into adulthood and with parents who struggle with the separation and individuation of their children.

Greetings, I am Dr. Westberg, a sex therapist based in New York City. My qualifications include being a board-certified sexologist (ACS), certified sex educator (ASSECT), and a licensed couples counselor (LMFT). My practice caters to individual and couples who experience a wide range of sexual issues such as low desire, desire discrepancies, sexual trauma, infidelity, sexual exploration, performance issues, and pain during sex. I employ an approach that is grounded in theories that challenge societal norms regarding sex and sexuality, and I possess a profound understanding of trauma. My primary objective is to help you achieve your desired outcome, while promoting healthy sexual relationships that are free from shame.

I'm an individual and couples therapist specializing in issues such as communication barriers, work-life balance, stress and anxiety, intimacy, infidelity, breakups divorce, blended families, and increasing relationship satisfaction. I implement individualized techniques to address issues that are faced in today's relationships with self and others. With all the movement and overstimulation happening around us, it can be difficult to hear our own thoughts, let alone others. We often keep moving at full speed, not realizing how many feelings and emotions we are suppressing and avoiding. Therapy can be intimidating; you're not sure how you got here, but you're ready to shed the negative and repetitive behaviors that are not serving you. I am passionate about helping you understand the root cause of your patterns and learning how you got to where you are today, but most importantly, changing your path to reach your future goals and where you ultimately want to be. I'll help you develop skills to communicate, build confidence, and feel understood in a safe space for open conversations through exploration and collaboration with a direct, nonjudgmental approach. Together, we will create a long-term lifestyle change that you will be able to maintain and feel fulfilled with.

Compassionate Healing is a group psychotherapy practice offering mental health services to clients in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Our therapists provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and families across their lifespan, with a particular focus on child, adolescent, and trauma-focused therapies and parenting support. We specialize in tailoring acceptance based and cognitive behavioral treatments to support each client's unique needs and goals. Regardless of what you, your child, or loved one has experienced or is currently going through, our therapists believe in every person's capacity to heal. Our therapists are person-centered in their treatment approach. This means we believe gaining your trust and ensuring that you feel understood, valued, and supported during therapy is extremely important.

Finding the right therapist is crucial to having a successful therapy experience. I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy, and help my clients break out of negative thoughts and behaviours that may be leading to unhealthy patterns or hijacking their lives. I believe that with the right therapist, everyone has the potential to change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety and stress, experiencing panic attacks, feeling sad or restless, or just want to achieve more, I will provide you with the right tools and concrete feedback to lead a more enjoyable life. My practice specializes in CBT, DBT, and ACT, and I firmly believe in personalized treatment tailored to your needs. In addition to myself, there are six other clinical psychologists in my practice with different specializations. During your intake with me, we will discuss which of our therapists would be the best fit for your unique needs.

Human connection is at the center of my work. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel understood and respected. My role is not to provide quick fixes, but to partner with you as we explore your experiences, strengthen resilience, and create space for meaningful change. I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These methods can help reduce distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and support the mind and body in processing trauma. I also provide dedicated support for adolescents, offering a space where they can feel safe to express themselves and build the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges. In addition, I offer psychedelic integration therapy, helping clients process insights from psychedelic experiences and apply them in grounded, practical ways. Above all, I aim to create a compassionate, collaborative environment that honors your unique story and helps you move toward healing and growth.

I believe that you are the expert in your life and experiences, and as your therapist, I will accompany you on your journey through self-discovery, healing, and change. Through examining your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, I will support your journey of exploration and help you achieve your fullest potential. I am dedicated to creating a safe and encouraging space for all of my clients to grow and better understand themselves. I work with adults and teens 14+ who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, challenges with adjustment, life transitions, along with other challenges you might be facing. Throughout your journey, we will collaborate to find an approach that best fits your wants, needs and goals.

Deciding to pursue the journey of therapy takes courage and strength and I would be honored to be the therapist to help guide and support you through your exploration of your self, your life and of your relationships. I approach therapy from a collaborative and supportive place, challenging people when necessary and helping them to utilize their own internal strengths and external supports in the best way possible. Through therapy, we can work to explore yourself and your relationships and how imbalanced thoughts and unhealthy behaviors lead to negative cycles and unhealthy interactions with the world around you. Although I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, in addition to families and couples (both married and unmarried), and help all of those that find their way to my office create a happier, healthier and more insightful future. I will work with you or with you and your significant other andor family members to create a safe environment that will foster growth and happiness.

I help high-functioning adults—especially perfectionists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals—quiet the noise, clarify their needs, and build a more sustainable way to live. Many of my clients feel like they’re doing everything “right” on paper, but still struggle with anxiety, burnout, relationship uncertainty, or self-doubt. You might be the one everyone relies on, but you feel unsure of your own direction. My style is collaborative, warm, and insight-oriented—I’m here to help you get honest with yourself without spiraling into self-criticism. Whether you're navigating a major life shift or finally giving yourself space to reflect, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, calm your nervous system, and make decisions you actually trust.

Are you searching for more meaning to your life? Have you come to a decision that involves living your life more authentically? Our personal experiences may contribute to patterns of behaviors or thoughts that leave us constantly feeling emotionally tired. At some point, we may begin to feel that there is something missing from our lives. I provide psychotherapy for people experiencing difficulties related to life transitions, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, anger, sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship conflicts, and trauma. I also work with patients to find meaning through dreamwork and Jungian sandplay therapy. Throughout this journey, I will provide a safe space for you express your thoughts and feelings. I see adults, children (10+), and adolescent patients. Children express themselves through play, this is why I utilize play therapy for younger patients. Children have opportunities to play games, create art, and participate in sandplay therapy by creating their world in a sand tray. I understand that the process to find a psychotherapist may feel like an overwhelming task. The positive is that there are so many therapists to choose from. The challenge is to find the right one for you or your child. This is one of the reasons that I provide a free phone consultation prior to scheduling an initial appointment. This time will allow you to ask questions about my practice, and I will be able to learn a bit more about your needs. Please go to my website to book your 15-minute phone consultation today.
