Hi and welcome! My name is Carol. Carol's clients are creative and wise; which is every person. Her clients are ready to use their natural creativity to question the "what is" and want to implement what they desire in their life. Carol's clients want to feel confident in creating their life. When working with Carol, you will have an art transformative experience that also satisfies clinical counseling skills. You will create art during your session, while learning skills for self soothing, empowerment, and focusing on what calls to you. Carol facilitates the art making, holds the space, and verbally processes with you throughout the session. Carol earned a B.A. in Art and Painting in Dallas, and an M.A. in Art Therapy and Counseling in Santa Fe, and offers over 10 years of experience facilitating art therapy. Carol wants potential clients to know there are no art skills required, and there is no judgment or interpretation of your art. You can feel safe and confident in your art making! Carol feels excited to meet with you and help you use art therapy to gain awareness and insight into your questions. You are already headed in the right direction, and are already asking the right questions, let's meet and work together!

Greetings! My name is Anne Blake and I have been working in mental health for over 25 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, with all different kinds of people. I joined BetterHelp so that I could focus on my clients, not administrative paperwork. I am very eclectic in my approach to therapy. I work to find the best treatment modality, or a combination of modalities for each individual. I am very engaged with people during therapy, I collaborate with each individual, and make suggestions rather than tell them what to do. I attended Framingham State College and earned my Master’s degree at Lesley College in Cambridge, MA. I am licensed in Massachusetts to perform Mental Health Counseling and Alcohol and Drug Counseling. I was trained and Art Therapy. I am very engaged in the therapeutic process and interact fully and frequently with with my clients. I am excited to have more contact with clients using telehealth, asynchronous messaging, text, and by telephone. I like BetterHelp’s approach to this new new kind of therapy. I utilized many of these methods of communication during COVID and discovered that people liked it, and found it to be very helpful. I am excited to work in this new approach to mental health, and invite you to join me on this journey.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My personal mission is to help others find their path to happiness and define what happiness looks like for them; everyone is different. I followed my passion for supporting others by pursuing a BS in Psychology at the University of Houston and an MSW at Walden University. I also hold a Ph.D. in Human and Social Services. I have worked in several clinical settings in nonprofits. I have experience in counseling couples, individuals (adults and young adults), and facilitating groups. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and a client-centered approach. It is so wonderful that you are taking the next step towards change to improve your well-being and mental health. My goal is to help you identify and achieve your goals by providing a safe, authentic, and supportive individualized therapy experience. Please let me know how I may support you.

Hi There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a LCSW with over 10 years of clinical experiences. My practice focus areas include issues associated with depression, grief, self image, career challenges, parental caregiving and entering new life stages. I typically employ Cognitive Behavioral, therapy, Rational Emotive therapy, Narrative therapy ,and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. Other forms of helping are also used as needed. There are multiple ways to arrive at your desired outcomes. I am a strengths oriented practitioner. I believe in the power of collaborative partnerships. My approach to helping reflects this mindset. I walk with, not ahead. I endorse a holistic approach to overall well being and I pride myself on being culturally competent. I look forward to working with you!!

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and low self-esteem. My modality of treatment encompasses cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, client centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. I practice from a trauma informed perspective in which I recognize symptoms of trauma and the role it plays in one's life. I strive to help individuals understand experiences happening in their lives and collaboratively work together to develop and gain the tools necessary to overcome and manage symptoms of mental health. Taking the first step (or even continuing the journey), can be the hardest part, now that you’re here, we can take the second step together!

I am a dually licensed Clinician in Massachusetts. I hold both the LMHC and LADC1 licenses. For over 8 years my professional work focused primarily on helping clients with opioid addiction and being on MAT/MOUD. I have also worked with men incarcerated by the DOC. As a result, my therapy style varies from the standard method to counseling. While I am warm and interactive, I am assertive and direct. While I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, I do not believe in coddling people. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. As a Clinician, I need to have a foundation set by the client so I can understand why you have come to seek help. I believe that your past is something that happened to you. I do not believe that your past defines who you are in the present or who you can be in the future. I will listen then paraphrase back what I have heard so we can both be sure that I understand you and your needs. My ability to help you relies on your ability to effectively communicate with me. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues all secondary to their addiction(s). I also have helped people who have experienced trauma and abuse. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused therapy and rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I assign homework which can be challenging for some clients. I do not pretend to have expertise in all areas. I do not shy away from issues I have limited exposure to. That being said, if we attempt to work together and I am not skilled enough to help with your particular concern(s), we can discuss how to get you the help you need. Additionally, as therapy progresses and you change and grow, you may find that you need someone new who may be able to bring a different challenge or approach. That is a wonderful position to be in and again, we can discuss how to help you get your needs met. The therapeutic relationship takes time to build. Everyone needs to be patient with the process. Your issues didn't happen overnight, nor will they be fixed overnight. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to offer support. I look forward to working with you!
