About My Practice: My practice is centered around helping individuals work through the emotional challenges that leave them feeling stuck. I know that reaching out for help can be a vulnerable step, and I’m here to support you as you navigate your unique dilemmas. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you and find a path toward healing and relief. Healing and Growth: I’m dedicated to helping you connect with your core self while releasing the burdens that hold you back. Many people struggle with self-worth, self-control, and the weight of past experiences. My approach helps those trapped in destructive patterns attain more flexibility and freedom. Within the safety of our relationship, you can begin to let go of pain and find relief in the present from whatever has been burdening you. How We Will Work: Everybody thinks and feels at their own speed. We will spend as much time as needed to find a pace and flow that works well for you. As we do, we will explore your inner resources and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. This journey can lead to a more authentic life filled with meaningful relationships and a renewed sense of possibility. Along the way, I will do all that I can to create a welcoming space where you can share your experiences without judgment while feeling truly seen.

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Massachusetts with five years of experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping individuals facing depression, anxiety, work stress, and addiction. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, build resilience, and foster growth. My goal is to empower clients to manage stress, improve relationships, and overcome patterns of self-doubt so they feel more balanced, confident, and connected in their daily lives.

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I provide therapeutic services to clients through a clinical lens of strength, resilience, and empowerment. My goal is to help clients examine who they want to be, navigate the path toward that vision, and process the experiences that have shaped them. I center on each client’s needs, creating a space that fosters insight and practical tools so that clients feel more grounded, clear, and aligned with their values. I will meet you with enthusiasm, compassion, empathy, and humor. I provide individual, virtual therapy in New York State and Massachusetts. I see clients Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM.

Do you feel misunderstood by your partner, family or children? Are you frustrated by feelings of isolation? Do you want to increase your ability to be more effective with others? I help my clients find a clearer understanding of themselves and the people in their lives. Our work together can help you feel known and understood by the people that matter to you the most. Your relationships have the potential to become a source of great joy, satisfaction, happiness, safety and strength. When working with couples, I assist and facilitate the development of a strong connection between them, effective communication and improved cooperation that results in achieving more closeness and affection. Our work can help you understand which patterns of relating to one another damage your relationship, and which skills you can develop that will allow you to achieve a more successful, secure and solid bond. Understanding these challenges and building upon effective skills will help you create a close and loving relationship no matter what challenges you are faced with. Couples who work with me are looking to improve issues that they struggle with that have harmed their relationships such as anxiety, eating disorders, grief, infertility, depression, illness, infidelity, loneliness, low self-esteem, and isolation. I will work with you to show you and your loved ones how to repair relationship wounds and learn how to break free of stuck patterns. If your relationship is just "okay" and you want more, or if you need help solving a specific challenge or a past hurt, I welcome your email or call, and I look forward to hearing your story.

My name is Autumn, and I was a peer support specialist for 10 years before I became a clinician. I earned my Master of Social Work from Salem State University, and I enjoy working with people who are creative and emotional. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Massachusetts. I have worked with people managing depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), trauma and posttraumatic stress (PTSD), bipolar, and schizoaffective challenges. I love seeing my clients connect to social supports, explore their interests, and build relationships.

Most people who find their way to me are not in crisis. They are tired. Tired of the same argument returning. Tired of feeling unseen by the person closest to them. Tired of noticing themselves end up, again, in a version of the same dynamic, no matter who the partner is. Maybe the connection in your relationship feels thinner than it used to, even when nothing dramatic has happened. Maybe you and your partner can barely sit through dinner without one of you shutting down or getting reactive. Maybe you are the one who keeps trying, keeps initiating, keeps holding the relationship together, and you are starting to ask whether you can keep doing it alone. Maybe everything looks fine from the outside, and only you know how lonely it has begun to feel. If you are coming on your own rather than as a couple, you may be sitting with a different version of the same question. Why do I keep ending up in this kind of relationship? Why does my closest person bring out a side of me I do not recognize, or do not like? Why do I want closeness and resist it at the same time? Why is it so hard to be honest about what I actually need? You may have tried therapy before. You may have read the books, listened to the podcasts, learned the communication skills, taken the assessments, made the lists. Some of it probably helped, at least for a while. And still, something underneath has not shifted. I am Dr. Ehsan Adib Shabahang, a doctoral-level therapist and the founder of AtReef Therapy in Cambridge, MA. I provide couples therapy and individual therapy, with a focus on the patterns that repeat in close relationships and within ourselves. My background is in psychology (PhD with a Social Psychology focus) and clinical mental health counseling. I do not work with everyone, and that is intentional. The work I do is best suited to adults who want depth, who can tolerate honest reflection, and who are ready to look at themselves with as much care as they look at their partner. My approach is relationship-centered and reflective. I focus less on quick communication fixes and more on what often gets left unsaid in a relationship: the protective behaviors, the hidden expectations, the longings that have gone underground, the parts of ourselves we have learned to keep out of view. Communication skills matter, and we will use them. But communication is usually not the real problem. The real problem is what each person is protecting underneath the words. This work is informed by Self-Reflective Relationship Therapy (SRRT), a framework I am developing. SRRT holds a core idea: what remains unseen within us often becomes repeated between us. The version of you that learned, early on, to anticipate disappointment, to manage other people's moods, to keep the peace, to perform competence, to stay quiet, to keep score, or to leave first will keep showing up in your relationship until you can see it clearly. SRRT is not a cure, not a hack, and not a substitute for therapy. It is the framework I bring to the room, and it is meant to give us a shared language for the patterns that are usually too close to see. In our sessions, you can expect honesty, structure, and warmth held together. I will not tell you what to do or whether to stay. I will not perform neutrality when I see something worth naming. I will help you slow down enough to see what you and your partner (or you and yourself) have actually been carrying, and to make sense of why it has been so hard to put down. We will move between what is happening between you in the room and what each of you brought into the room before this relationship existed. The patterns usually live in both places at once. Couples often come to me when they have stopped recognizing the relationship they once had, when one or both partners are quietly considering whether to stay, when trust has been ruptured, or when they want to do the deeper work before things become more strained. Individuals often come to me when they have noticed a pattern they cannot break alone, when a relationship has ended and they want to understand their part, or when self-reflection has stopped feeling like something they can do without help. You will not be rushed. You will not be handed a worksheet and sent home. The work is slower than most therapy you have probably encountered, and that is on purpose. Real change in how we love and how we are loved tends to happen at the speed of honesty, not the speed of strategy. If you are looking for short-term symptom relief, a place to vent without much pushback, or a therapist who will tell you what to do, I am probably not the right fit. If you are looking for depth, accountability, and a slower kind of work where understanding yourself in relationship is the point, I would be glad to hear from you. I see couples and individuals in person in Cambridge, MA, and via secure telehealth throughout Massachusetts.
