We offer online therapy in Massachusetts (and soon to be Vermont) for adults who are navigating the perinatal period and adjustment to motherhood; trauma; adjustment to life stressors; depression; & anxiety. Our goal is for anyone we work with to feel accepted and empowered. We believe in building a therapeutic space that is safe, unbiased, person-centered and trauma-informed.
