With the ever-expanding responsibilities of living and working, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of going through the motions and merely surviving, rather than thriving.
We will collaborate to identify and express your individual needs, and work together to leverage your unique strengths and perspectives into development and fulfillment.
I graduated from the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work in 2015 and have been providing outpatient counseling and therapy since that time. I have experience with both young and older adults, older teens, and couples.
I mainly use CBT and my approach is also informed by family systems, psychodynamic theory, and elements of narrative therapy.
I will provide you with a judgment-free and supportive environment to develop your strengths on the path to personal growth.

Are you ready to make a change in your life but want the support to do so? As a therapist I offer a space for you to pinpoint your hopes and goals, expand your understanding of your values, and ultimately take your power back from the problems that try to control you. I believe that you are the expert on your life and would love to join you on your journey to self-trust and growth. I work with individuals and couples with an integrative, individualized, and strength-based approach. Together I hope to create a curious, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to help you feel valued and supported in your journey.
I earned my masters degree in couple and family therapy from the University of Rhode Island and since then have worked with a diverse range of clients. Through these experiences I have learned that each person’s narrative is beautifully unique and together we can uncover and “rewrite” your story for a future that better depicts your goals separate from the problem.

Do you sometimes feel stuck, knowing you want to make a change, but not sure how? I work with patients to focus on the internal work, prompting change from within to effect how clients respond to stressors in their environment. We will work closely together to determine the root cause of the problem to establish a strong foundation to execute effective change. With a strong focus on coping skill development, I apply the fundamental and traditional practices of talk therapy and motivational discussion, in conjunction with acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive restructuring.
I work with depression, anxiety and relationships with a focus in areas of trauma and micro trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault, LGBTQIA+ and clients in transition, couples dynamics (polyamous, traditional and non-traditional relationships). My training was at Cambridge College, and I'm a Ph.D. candidate at the Chicago School for Professional Psychology.

JoAnn Orluk specializes in Applied Behavior Analysis for people on the autism spectrum. Click here to learn more about her program.
My approach is one that makes each individual client feel totally supported. I understand the challenge of living with mental health challenges and how it can be confusing; as well as, difficult. As simple as it sounds, my mission is to provide non-judgmental treatment with an understanding ear. I advocate for my client in a compassionate, personal, supportive and consistent manner.
As a licensed behavior analyst, I meld behavior change with talk therapy. My client will learn to identify, change, maintain and generalize their behavior by discussing real-life and hypothetical events while learning how to implement interventions that will help them increase positive behaviors or decrease unwanted behaviors. Self-regulation and understanding yourself while working towards self-management and sustainability is the ultimate goal in therapy.

There are times in life when we all need a little help, yet reaching out for that help can be difficult. And while it can feel quite intimidating or overwhelming, making a decision to start therapy is not only a courageous one, but also an empowering one that can be truly life-changing.
I have been an independently licensed clinician since 2004 and have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings. My approach has always been to form a collaborative partnership with my client while creating a trusting, supportive, non-judgmental, and productive environment in which we work closely together to address any concerns
you might have.
As someone who has practiced mindfulness and meditation for many years, I appreciate the interconnectedness between mind and body, and embrace a holistic approach to therapy and to well-being. I strive to help my client find a sustainable sense of inner peace, joy, and self-confidence while effectively navigating life's many challenges. I look forward to having the privilege of working with you.

Undergoing a life transition can be challenging, be it joyous or painful, and can thrust us into unfamiliar and confusing territory. Since the situation is novel to us, the uncertainty about how to proceed through this unknown terrain can create added stress, even if we have a goal in mind.
I can help make it easier and even exciting, by bringing forth your own deeper insights, suggesting strategies to thrive, and offering tools which you can utilize for future life changes.
Transitions are also perfect openings to ignite personal evolution and fulfillment. Begin your successful passage to wholeness now through the power of awareness combined with common sense applications.

Growing up today, in a post-covid world, our youth are struggling with increases in anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation and goal setting that will have long-term effects for this entire generation.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive space for clients to contemplate, explore and express their thoughts and feelings about their experiences in life. I believe that having the opportunity to review, and understand our life’s journey, which may include the past as well as the present and can help with the preparation for opportunities that may present themselves in the future. Utilizing a strength-based approach and understanding and discussing the resiliency that exists within each person, the therapeutic session/ approach can help individuals address the issues, barriers, and needs that are brought forward for discussion.
I earned my master’s degree in Social Work at Rhode Island College and have years of clinical experience working with a diverse range of clients. I specialize in working with adults, from young adults to older adults. I have experience working with physical health issues, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues.

My goal as a therapist is to create a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you are able to express yourself and further develop self-compassion. This will lead you to feel more present at work, with family and friends, and things you feel passionate about in life.
My approach to therapy is that when we are able to feel more at peace with ourselves, we find greater joy in life. The journey to feeling peaceful and satisfied is not always smooth; it can feel so personal that we may avoid talking about the “bumps” with our loved ones. Speaking with someone who is objective and private can be so useful. It can allow you to view this “bumps” in a in a curious way.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I have collaborated with clients who have dealt with work stressors, every day stressors, and/or burnout and wanted to find more satisfaction in life. I have also worked with people who wanted to make changes but did not know where to begin.
I am also skilled in working with people who have struggled with substances in the past and are looking to continue in recovery, as well as with family and friends of those using substances.

In this therapeutic space, we will work towards your goals in partnership together. I will draw upon clinical techniques stemming from mindfulness, mind-body connection, trauma-informed practices and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – C.S. Lewis.
Therapy provides an opportunity to focus on oneself to work through difficult, sometimes uncomfortable, periods in life. Therapy also encourages self-reflection as a means of improving various aspects of life, such as self-confidence and personal relationships. I utilize a motivational, individual-centered therapeutic approach to help my clients discover their own resiliency and internal strength. By working collaboratively with clients in a safe, supportive, open environment, we are able to achieve positive change and strengthen coping skills. Through my experience as a clinician, I have also come to believe in the interdependent connection between physical and mental health, and I strive to help clients understand the importance of this correlation to promote an all-around healthier way of life.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University and have several years of clinical experience working with a diverse range of clients. I specialize in working with individuals – from young adults to the elderly – experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, adjustment issues, and chronic health issues.

Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”
My clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self. It also creates a time and place for healing and growth and the chance to discover where that can lead. I relish developing a collaborative, working relationship with people to help them move toward living life with deeper meaning and purpose.
I earned a master’s in Social Work from the Catholic University of America’s School of Social Service and have been licensed to practice since 1997. Through Mass Poetry and Lesley University, I am certified to teach poetry and have served as a school’s poet in residence. As a therapist and writer/teacher of poetry, I sometimes use this medium as another way to help clients understand themselves better or to live more confidently with uncertainty. If you need a haiku today, here is one from Billy Collins that I like in the way it captures a sense of loneliness:
Mid-winter evening,
alone at the sushi bar—
just me and this eel.
