Therapists for college students near 02155
The heart of my practice is developing a safe, warm, and trusting therapeutic relationship. I offer a strength-based approach while meeting the needs and preferences of each client. For 10+ years, I have supported teens and young adults with multiple clinical disorders including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, suicidality, self-harm, school avoidance, family/relationship conflict & more. I am a strong believer in the power of collaboration and connection and hope to offer you a space where we will work together using your strengths to achieve your social, emotional, behavioral and therapeutic goals. Having had the opportunity to work with adolescents, young adults & families, the foundation of my work is based on a person-centered and relational approach. I strive to provide a space where you will feel safe, supported and heard. As a native Spanish speaker, I have also had the privilege of meeting with Spanish speaking clients. If you have never worked with a therapist, searching for one can feel overwhelming. I would be happy to speak with you over the phone or email to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing your story. Please see my website for more details!
I approach each client with a wide angle view–considering all the factors that contribute to a client’s presenting concerns. For those interested in traditional psychotherapy, I draw from 20+ years of experience using a range of therapeutic interventions (psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness focused) to offer individual and parent support services. In recent years I have been expanding my expertise and services to include other holistic modalities, specifically biofield tuning, which has allowed options for using sound and energy focused work to address emotional issues. For interested clients, I weave together the benefits of psychotherapy with biofield tuning to create a unique healing experience.
Hi! I'm Victoria. I'm an EMDR, Somatic, and Narrative Therapist who specializes in supporting young adults who have been impacted by childhood, relational, medical trauma and phobias. I'm passionate about empowering survivors of complex trauma to break generational cycles, learn what their minds and bodies need to feel safe, and finally get out of survival mode.
As a psychologist, I help college students explore their thoughts, feelings and relationships in a supportive and optimally challenging environment. I am committed to helping my clients feel better and become the best version of themselves. If you want to feel better in your body, adjust to college, improve your relationships, or generally improve your quality of life, you are like many of my clients and I am confident that we can work together to help you. I also work with people who have experienced sexual trauma, struggle with body image, and those who wish to explore their identities and family of origin as they move forward to shape their lives. My therapeutic style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I work using evidence based methods to help you effect change, and I trust that you are the expert on yourself. Together we create a genuine and in-depth relationship that is supportive, empowering and growth fostering. This experience in therapy strengthens and transforms your sense of self, which in turn allows you to create a more fulfilling and joyful life. I really believe finding the right “fit” of therapist matters. Research has demonstrated that the best predictor of effectiveness in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. So, I encourage you to contact me to hear my voice and get a sense of my style. I am happy to talk with you about ways that I might be of help to you.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist and I draw from my 10+ years of experience in College Mental Health to provide care to students preparing for and managing the mental health challenges of college. I strongly believe in evaluating and treating the whole person and in meeting you where you are with a goal of helping you find the path to your best possible self. I have a particular interest in anxiety related disorders and utilize a holistic approach to managing anxiety and helping students optimize wellness. I incorporate skills from CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness into my therapy practice. I utilize medication management if and when indicated to optimize treatment. Due to my limited office hours, I am not equipped to treat conditions that could require urgent and immediate care and thus if you are struggling with chronic or treatment-resistant resistant mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, addictions, severe eating disorders, or chronic suicidality, I recommend you seek care through a health system or provider that offers more services suited to best meet your needs.

With 35 plus years of experience, I do individual and group psychotherapy with young adults, mainly college students. Some of the concerns that I work with most are: anxiety, dealing with stress, depression, relational growth with parents, relationship concerns, self-injury, the coming out process, sexual assault and childhood history of abuse and bereavement. My approach is relaxed, authentic and validating. Let's recognize all of your feelings and qualities and not label you in a pejorative way. I have a solid background, am well trained and value you as my collaborator here.
You deserve to feel heard, understood, and valued for who you are as an individual! When we feel stuck and misunderstood, challenged by uncomfortable feelings, or we are struggling to navigate life, engaging in therapy allows us to understand what is contributing to each of these experiences. Being able to talk through these moments helps start us on a path toward feeling fulfilled and enlivened. Together, we will explore how your past and present experiences, your interpersonal relationships, and your learned coping strategies contributes to how you feel. I believe everyone can be a confident, strong, and thriving individual. I am warm, non-judgmental, and attentive. I strive to meet you where you are at, help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe space, and find ways to overcome the challenges you face. I believe in the power of conversation to help facilitate understanding and change. I work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. In addition to private practice, I am a Staff Psychologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School.

Treating clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and grief. Change can be hard and college can be full of challenges. Its very common to need support please reach out if you think you would like to try therapy for the first time or are looking for someone to help you get through a tough time
Your plate is more than full. You’re struggling with managing it all at once. Whether college, work, family, a declining family member or your own medical illness, things are hard. Life can feel overwhelming. You’re exhausted. You put other’s needs in front of your own. You keep pushing these feelings down and telling yourself “it’ll be okay” because you can’t take on JUST. ONE. MORE. THING. You may smile and say “I’m good thanks” when asked but know inside you’re not as good as you lead on. You deserve the time to slow down and be heard. It's hard to make the time for therapy, but your inner voice will thank you. You can come as you are without judgement. Cry, laugh, scream- do whatever you need to to let these feelings out so we can work on rebuilding you back up. It may not be easy, but you’ve already proven to yourself how strong you are by even considering asking for help. You are worth it. You deserve this. If any of this feels the least bit familiar, I encourage you to reach out to see if we would be a good fit for therapy together. As a working mom of two toddlers managing life’s craziness, I assure you that I will be authentic in every interaction we have because I get it. Life is hard, but I am here for you. I can’t wait to get started!
As a psychotherapist, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate a wide variety of challenges. At its foundation, therapy is relational; it encourages immense vulnerability and asks us to place our trust in someone entirely new. The most rewarding sessions can emerge from intimate, yet difficult, conversations. For individuals and couples seeking services, I specialize in sexual health concerns, relational problems, life transitions, men’s issues, trauma, and any co-occurring anxiety and depression that may accompany these topics. When I meet with clients, I hope to nurture a safe, warm, and affirming environment. I approach clinical work through a non-pathologizing lens and value the knowledge, wisdom, and intuition that are developed through one's experiences. I operate from a place of empathy, curiosity, and cultural humility when navigating every interaction. In pursuit of providing the best mental health care, I completed an advanced certificate in sexual health and sex therapy at the University of Michigan. For individuals and couples wanting to address sexual health topics, I welcome conversations related to non-monogamy/polyamory, intimacy/connection, sexual shame/empowerment, desire discrepancies and low desire, sexual functioning concerns, and trauma. As a queer clinician, I am committed to improving the mental health of the LGBTQ+ community, yet I invite clients of any background to explore services. Not all people come to therapy with clear intentions for this work; some merely sense that they may benefit from additional support. Wherever you are in this journey, I hope to join you along the way.
Finding a therapist who really understands you can make all the difference. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, seen, and accepted for who you are. My goal is to create a space where you can drop the mask and work through what’s holding you back—with compassion, humor, and zero judgment. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling stuck, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you build the tools to move forward. As a trauma-focused therapist, I use EMDR, TF-CBT, and other trauma models to help kids, teens, and adults feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. I work closely with parents using evidence-based strategies to strengthen connections and support your child’s growth at home. I’m also passionate about providing LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming care—everyone deserves a space that feels inclusive. You don’t have to face everything on your own. Let’s work together to figure out what healing looks like for you.
