Find a Therapist in Wellesley Hills, MA

Feel that traditional therapy is not for you? I started YouTime Coaching almost a decade ago with an ambitious core belief: if you provide compassionate support, positive modeling, and skillful accountability, personal growth and change are very possible. We've had major success working with young people, adults, and families when it comes to academic work struggles, transitional challenges, focus & attention issues, communication, motivation, performance-related challenges, and self-confidence. I'm in this with you. Traditional therapy starts and ends in the office. YouTime Coaching utilizes, "in-between time" through call, text, and email to provide the support necessary to maintain positive momentum throughout the week. Also, we do not meet in an office setting but on more neutral turf in the community. Learn more at the website. YouTime Coaching specializes in ADHD, executive functioning, anxiety & depression, and Performance Psychology-related issues. We have seen it all (so it takes a lot to shock, no judgment here). We offer Youth and Adult Life Coaching as well as Parent Coaching.

As your therapist, I am here to provide warmth, humor, compassion, and a non-judgmental space that can help you feel valued and accepted. My focus is to help you find your unique strengths and skills to make positive changes. Together we can work through the obstacles that are impeding you from having a more fulfilling life. Together we work toward uncovering your innate strengths, self-esteem, and resilience.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to making these changes happen.

Isabelle Scott is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with over 6 years of experience working in a psychiatric hospital. She has provided short- and long-term individual psychotherapy and has worked with people experiencing homelessness.

I am passionate about supporting people through challenging times in their lives. Together we will design a treatment plan based on what you would like to accomplish and explore in therapy. I have experience with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I work with adults 18 and over suffering from depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), co-occurring conditions, relationship issues, and substance use conditions. Couples seeking therapy will be supported in rebuilding their friendship and intimacy, strengthening communication, and navigating challenges such as substance use in the relationship.

I am a warm, caring clinician that sees clients with many different kinds of issues. I have a specialty in the treatment of OCD, addictions, and job stress. I treat OCD utilizing IFS, EMDR, and AEDP Therapy. I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. I also treat many other forms of addictions. I am fully certified in two evidence based therapies: 1) EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and 2) IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy. In a very SAFE manner, these methods of therapy go deeper and are VERY effective. I emphasize the word SAFE because NOTHING is ever discussed unless YOU are comfortable discussing it. You're "the boss" as to what we cover or discuss in therapy.

I help clients navigate identity exploration, trauma, grief, relationship challenges (familial or intimate), and major life transitions—like adjusting to adulthood or stepping into a more authentic sense of self. These liminal, in-between stages can be tricky to navigate and are often marked by anxiety, depression, or a fragmented sense of self, leaving folks feeling emotionally untethered. While we must lead ourselves to authenticity, it can help to have a thoughtful, attuned guide who walks alongside us—offering new perspectives, practical coping skills, and questions that gently challenge deep-rooted assumptions. I enjoy working with young adults on the precipice of independence, older adults facing aging-related transitions, couples, and folks with marginalized or liminal (Biracial, Bicultural, nonbinary, genderqueer, etc.) identities. Together, we reduce fear, shame, and relational distress, while cultivating authenticity, inner wisdom, and emotional resilience. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and unfamiliar. If you're unsure whether we'd be a good fit, I'm happy to meet with you, answer any questions, and elaborate on my approach to therapy. You're not alone in taking this first step—and you don’t have to do it without support.

My approach to therapy is personally tailored based in effective practices such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and psychodynamic theory. Therapy is a collaborative process providing a comfortable space to explore thoughts, patterns, and comprehensive understanding of your needs. The emphasis is not on immediate resolution of issues within the session but to promote a way of thinking that can be carried into your everyday life and applied where it is truly needed. We work in partnership to identify thinking or behavior that has not effectively served your needs while acknowledging strengths and skills that do support your goals. I believe these practices align to empower you to direct your course and attain fulfillment across all areas of life.

Hello, I'm Adam Grushey, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor II. My journey in the field of addiction treatment is both professional and deeply personal. After a career as a corporate executive in the hospitality sector, I found my true calling in helping those struggling with addiction. This path has not only been a professional choice but a personal one, as I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic myself. My approach to helping is grounded in the principles of the 12-Step program, which forms the foundation of my therapeutic practice. However, I believe in a holistic approach to recovery, integrating aspects of biopsychology, holistic healing, and mythology to provide a comprehensive support system for my clients. This blend of traditional and innovative methods allows me to address the multifaceted nature of addiction, catering to both the physical and psychological aspects of recovery. Having personally navigated the challenges of addiction, I bring a unique perspective and a deep sense of empathy to my work. I understand the struggles, fears, and hopes that come with the journey towards recovery. This personal experience has been instrumental in shaping my approach, allowing me to connect with clients on a more profound level. As a devoted student of psychology and English literature, I am continually learning and incorporating new insights into my practice. I am driven by the opportunity to help others uncover their true purpose in life, believing that everyone has the potential to rewrite their story and embark on a path of healing and self-discovery. At the Massachusetts Center for Addiction, my role extends beyond just treatment. I am committed to creating a supportive, understanding environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions safely. My goal is to guide each individual towards finding peace, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose in their lives. Through this journey, I aim to help others not just overcome addiction but embrace a life of fulfillment and meaning.

I base my practice around two fundamental ideals: empathy and non-judgment. I'm here to be your sounding-board, advocate, support person and guide through your journey to self-discovery and empowerment. For me, therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals in a method that I tailor specifically to you. We'll explore symptoms that you're experiencing in the here-and-now (depression, anxiety), as well as related underlying concerns (relationship issues, past traumas, identity issues). I primarily do individual therapy with adolescents and adults and I specialize in traumaPTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, college counselinglife transitions, stress management and drug and alcohol abuse. People describe me as a compassionate, caring, dedicated and fun person who loves what she does.

I'm Alicia Lambert, a Primary Clinician at Rockland Recovery. With a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and a background as a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor, my approach is informed by a deep understanding of both the psychological and addiction-related aspects of mental health. In my practice, I emphasize a compassionate, client-centered approach. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is both supportive and empowering, allowing individuals to explore their challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space. My training in Clinical, Counseling, and Applied Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University equips me with a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, which I tailor to meet the unique needs of each client. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their journey to recovery, focusing on building resilience, developing coping strategies, and fostering personal growth. My goal is to guide clients toward a path of healing and self-discovery, supporting them in achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
