When your attempts to feel better about yourself or to calm your nervous system lead to obsessing about what you eat or what you weigh, you're left depleted, disconnected, and frustrated. Small missteps lead to huge feelings of failure and inadequacy. Your family and friends see you as "the strong one," and assume you've got it all together, but honestly, you feel on the edge of losing it. You want to be spontaneous and intuitive with your food, experiencing real satisfaction (not the fleeting kind that comes from "following the rules"). You want to befriend your body, respect, and appreciate it...maybe for the very first time. You want to release perfectionism and self-doubt, and honor your sensitive nature. I'm here to help. I'm a trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with highly sensitive people coping with difficult relationships with food and their bodies. I believe that full recovery from the captivity of chronic dieting and eating challenges is absolutely possible. I believe your sensitivity is a gift, and I believe that you can move from just surviving to truly thriving.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you. Together, we can uncover your strengths, explore emotional issues, and foster resilience to navigate life’s difficulties with greater resolve. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have seven years of experience. My approach to therapy is collaborative.

I'm probably the best therapist you've never met. I've spent decades using myself as an instrument to help every kind of mad and bad I could find. I bet nearly all of them would tell you I've been of substantial help to their personal growth. Please take your time (not mine) checking me out. I've been tweeting for years because I like the haiku of it. Google me. Call if you're considering spending $300 to talk to me.

Through The Trees Therapy currently has openings for clients both in person and telehealth, contact us today! At Through The Trees Therapy we believe that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and sometimes we just need the help and guidance of someone else to help us uncover what they are and help us navigate what they mean. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents to help them unlock potential and see how making changes could help them manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am also passionate about working with young adults and adults to identify areas of their life where they may need to make changes in patterns and other ways of thinking that they may have never thought of before. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use this in conjunction with other types of therapy to tailor treatment to each individual. I help people look at how their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are linked and to look for ways to make adjustments in these to reduce distress. I am also certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. My clients describe me as kind, understanding, and non-judgmental. I know taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can be a difficult one, but my hope is that together we can collaboratively create a space for you to feel empowered and in control of your life again. Feel free to contact me for scheduling!

**Accepting new clients** What if you could start feeling better? I would love to support and explore how we can make change happen for you. Maybe you are tired of managing those racing thoughts on your own or struggling to figure out the best next step for your career or relationship - either way I can help. I work with clients whose anxiety-depression has made it difficult to get the most out of their day. Together, we can work to figure out how to feel less overwhelmed and more empowered to do what you want to do without the worry getting in the way. My style is interactive and I hope to create a space where all thoughts and feelings are welcome. I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. In addition, I have a wealth of experience working with members of the LGBTQ community with a focus of addressing gender dysphoria-gender identity. Taking the first step is always the hardest part of any journey. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone - I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I work toward supporting individual and collective liberation using anti-oppressive frameworks in therapy and supervision. I work with humans who recognize their own agency in their healing processes. I engage with people across different intersections of their identities that impact their lived experiences. By deepening our insights around the patterns, values, and narratives we hold about ourselves, and the systems and relationships we inhabit, we move toward greater understanding and compassion for ourselves and others. I offer a warm, compassionate, direct, engaged, and curious presence. As a licensed, trauma-informed counselor educator and supervisor, I bring expertise in theory, critical and deconstructed application of counseling paradigms, and cutting-edge research translated into effective individual and systemic interventions to support people in their journey toward authenticity, acceptance, and vitality. My approach supports the ongoing processes of becoming and belonging, deepening insight, learning to attune to our own inherent wisdom, and gently welcoming even the parts of ourselves that have felt challenging or unwanted. Despite the messages many of us have received, I believe we each carry deep intelligence, resilience, and creative possibilities for growth. I believe that when we take committed action aligned with our values, meaningful change becomes both visible and felt. I aim to meet you where you are and to collaboratively create a map that supports your growth in therapy and in supervision. My work is rooted in relational-cultural, attachment-based, transfeminist, and experiential approaches. This means I understand healing as something that happens in relationship, and I trust the present moment as a rich source of information and opportunity. Often, growth asks us to slow down, tune in, and sit with ourselves long enough for new possibilities to emerge. I hold each person as complex and interconnected, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and in community. I openly acknowledge the impact of systems of domination, including white supremacy, racism, transphobia, misogyny, classism, ableism, and fatphobia, on individual well-being and access to care. I believe ethical and competent counseling and supervision require ongoing reflection, accountability, and learning. I commit to this through my own supervision, consultation, training, and continuing education. In my role as a clinical supervisor, I integrate an intersectional and transfeminist framework alongside the integrative developmental model (IDM) to support counselors at all stages of development. My practice is eclectic, rooted in somatic, relational, attachment, experiential, and transfeminist therapies. I have been trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) levels 1 and 2 for over five years, and I have completed basic exposure and response prevention (ERP) training. I believe we heal in relationship and through connection. I also enjoy offering clinical supervision and consultation.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone." -Anne Frank We are all affected by what is happening today. Families are divided. Stress, depression, and addictions are at all-time highs. If you need help navigating your life and making sense and meaning in this world, I am here to help you. Please reach out and we will walk through this together. I offer a unique approach that utilizes a combination of deep therapy in individual sessions plus more holistic offerings, such as guided meditation and grounding exercises. My goal is to address all aspects of your wellness; mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and socio-political. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and it is imperative that you find the right fit. The best way to get a sense of whether we will work well together is to meet via telehealth for a free initial 15 minute consultation. Email is the best way to reach me. Please check your spam folder, as my responses occasionally wind up there.

Thomas “Tom” Walters is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) in Indiana and Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults, and couples seeking help with depression, anxiety, substance use, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), trauma, problematic sexual behaviors, and relationship issues.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I work with individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood instability. My ideal clients are those who have tried therapy, medication, or other routes but still feel like something is missing. They’re searching for real, lasting relief and a provider who listens deeply, understands their unique story, and offers compassionate, evidence-based care that goes beyond a prescription pad. My approach is holistic and client-centered. I don’t just treat symptoms; I look at the whole person, mind and body.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) based in Acton, Massachusetts, working with children, teens, and adults who struggle to manage their emotions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anger, frustration, confusion, sadness, or loneliness. Despite their best efforts, they often feel as though their emotions are controlling them rather than the other way around. Low self-esteem, anxiety, and difficulty connecting with others can lead to feelings of isolation. My goal is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves and their emotions while learning practical techniques to manage distress and regain a sense of balance. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic principles. With teenagers and adults, I focus on helping clients build tangible skills in emotional regulation, such as challenging unhelpful thoughts, reducing self-criticism, and practicing grounding and mindfulness strategies. For younger clients, I use play-based therapy to provide a safe, expressive environment that fosters emotional awareness and growth. I encourage all clients to recognize their unique strengths and inherent resilience, fostering greater self-confidence as they navigate daily life. Each session is tailored to the individual’s needs, personality, and preferences, ensuring that therapy feels engaging, relevant, and effective.
