Find a Therapist in Westborough, MA

Are you going through a painful loss, a major life transition, or a chronic illness? If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, you don't have to navigate this alone. I'm Mimi, a licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) with over 15 years of experience helping adults and older adults find relief, inner strength, and clarity. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, grief and loss, and life transitions. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic (body-based) therapy, mindfulness, and expressive arts therapy, I help you access self-awareness, regulate your nervous system, and build resilience. If traditional talk therapy has ever felt limiting, my expressive arts approach offers a creative, nonverbal path to healing that many clients find transformative. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy sessions outdoors in Cambridge, as movement can help you open up and process emotions more freely. My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. Taking the first step toward healing takes real courage, and I don't take that lightly. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore whether we're a good fit. Reach out by phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your goals!

You may be doing your best to keep life moving while privately feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you know what you “should” be doing but have difficulty following through. You may find yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, struggling with anxiety or depression, having difficulty managing attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), working through substance use or recovery, or questioning where you are going in life. Sometimes the problem is clear. Other times, you simply know that something needs to change. I believe therapy can help you understand what is getting in the way while also helping you develop new ways of responding to the challenges in your life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I want to understand you as a whole person, not simply as a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. Together, we can look at what is happening in your life now, where certain patterns may have come from, and what might help you move forward. My work is rooted particularly in humanistic, existential, and Jungian perspectives. This means that therapy with me may involve exploring not only symptoms, but also your relationships, past experiences, beliefs about yourself and others, values, and the patterns that shape how you live. Some ways of thinking or coping may have developed for understandable reasons and may even have helped you at one point in your life. We can work together to understand those patterns and determine whether they still serve you. At the same time, I believe insight is most useful when it helps you make meaningful changes in your life. Depending on what you need, I integrate approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and other evidence-based interventions. For adults with ADHD, I offer a structured cognitive-behavioral approach focused on strengthening executive self-management skills. We can work directly on challenges involving time management, organization, planning, prioritizing, procrastination, getting started on tasks, and following through. We may also address patterns of thinking and emotional obstacles that make it harder to stay motivated and manage everyday responsibilities. The aim is to develop strategies you can practice and apply in your daily life, rather than simply telling you to “try harder” or “be more organized.” Relationships and self-esteem can also be important areas of our work. If you find yourself repeating painful relationship patterns, struggling to communicate your needs, worrying about rejection, or having difficulty setting boundaries, we can explore both where these patterns came from and how you might relate to others differently. If you struggle with self-worth, we can examine the experiences and beliefs that have shaped the way you see yourself while working toward a more compassionate and confident sense of self. I also have a particular interest in meaning, purpose, personal growth, and spirituality. You may be functioning reasonably well on the outside while still wondering what gives your life direction or why something feels missing. If these questions are important to you, therapy can provide a place to explore them. Spirituality can also be part of our work if you want it to be, and I respect each client's individual beliefs and worldview. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can begin with whatever is bringing you in and work from there. My goal is to provide a space where you can speak honestly, better understand yourself, address what is keeping you stuck, and work toward a life that feels more intentional, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Busy people get it all done and and take care of others. You have spent years being the strong one, the peacemaker, and the one who always puts others first. You are tired of carrying so much and want to feel better and meet your own goals. You want joy, happiness and peace. Do you have stress, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed? Do you have patterns you know you do over and over again that you want to change? Do you feel you are an over-thinker? Do you have difficulty unwinding or relaxing? Do you spend a lot of time helping others? Is there something bothering you that you can't seem to get past? Most of what drives our behavior exists under the surface from old experiences and memories where we had a take-home awareness. When the unconscious becomes conscious we are more able to make changes faster and with less difficulty. Memories, experiences, and life experiences can block or impact future goals. Reach out! You've always been the strong one, the helper, the one who wants just peace and ease, and the one who keeps it all together. You know your own needs, and wants have gotten lost or been pushed aside somehow and you are finding it is time for something more. You want to feel calmer, lighter and more connected to yourself. I help women release emotional blocks, old wounds, people pleasing, perfectionism, family dynamics, life transitions, grief, loss and traumatic experiences so they can step into lives that feel fulfilling, peaceful and aligned with who they truly are. My approach blends compassionate, attuned listening with tools like EMDR, and EFT tapping to help you uncover what's been holding you back and gently let it go. We work at your pace creating space for healing that feels safe, grounded and deeply supportive. Together, we'll explore your patterns, beliefs, and emotions, not just to cope with them, but to transform them. so you can feel at home in your own life again. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you get started today!

Intimate relationships bring joy and pain to each of us. No deep partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a couples therapist with a focus on sexuality, I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can all reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties in intimacy. These disruptions often emerge from pre-existing patterns that undermine communication and sexual expression. Sexual difficulties are often driven by anxiety and shame that interrupt performance, pleasure, or deep closeness. Communication struggles are shaped by our unique experience of attachment. Attachment and sexuality are intertwined and form the foundation for deep intimacy. I help couples increase their understanding of both and develop the new relationship skills to enhance communication, sexual expression, and deep understanding. Over the last 30 years, I have helped couples, families, and larger social systems discover new approaches to quickly solve previously insurmountable problems. In addition to my work with couples and families, I have developed and led family therapy training and research programs in Massachusetts, Delaware, and Maryland, and assisted public and private health care systems to provide more effective, relationship-focused treatment for their clients. I believe deeply in the human ability to repair and heal. And it’s my experience that when we respond to a relationship challenge by seeking help, we embrace our own important power of growth. My strength-based, brief treatment approach is built on collaboration, curiosity, and humor. All three are key to creating your relational toolkit and deepening your ability to connect to others.
