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.

I am passionate about supporting those in both expected and unexpected life transitions to find their inner strengths, a sense of belonging and working towards their unique set of goals. I earned a Masters of Art Therapy at the School of Visual Arts. Throughout my experience I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of individuals and families. I enjoy using creative problem solving in both art therapy and talk therapy sessions.
My therapeutic approach is client centered and collaborative, having clients take an active role in how they want their sessions to look like. I use art based, mindfulness, narrative, and somatic techniques to aid in self awareness, creating a dialogue with oneself and finding solutions. I believe connections formed through the creative process and therapeutic relationship can be transformative and empowering.

Psychologist Carl Jung stated” the secret to living a happy fulfilling life is cultivating an appreciation for Art, movement, music, literature and a deep connection with Nature and soul purpose.”
As a holistic psychotherapist, I integrate traditional talk therapy with other wellness modalities when requested and appropriate. My approach lies deep in its clinical roots with a primary focus on connecting with clients through a humanistic approach. My priority is in building a trusting therapeutic alliance and getting to know each client through a wholistic lens. Together we will develop a “Wellness plan” that heals and enriches one’s life. While placing a strong emphasis on integrating tools that fit into your everyday life easily and are accessible to your personal needs and goals. Our therapeutic journey will consist of discovering and uncovering how to build or rebuild the life you desire , heal from old unserving patterns or trauma and creating a life you dream of manifesting.
As a licensed Holistic psychotherapist, Dance movement therapist , registered yoga and meditation - mindfulness teacher, as well as a Trauma sensitive yoga specialist I understand the importance of the integration of the healing arts as a tool in therapy. As a shamanic practitioner I am able to share with my clients the importance of the mind body and soul connection and the healing power of our relationship with Nature. Another healing tool is my work as a functional nutrition life coach introducing the importance of food as a way to heal body, mind and spirit.

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.

Adulting Issues

Emily Daniels, LMHC-C
Emily Daniels, LMHC-C
As a LMHC-C, Emily Danials is eager to embark on a fulfilling journey as a master’s level clinician. Her passion lies in bringing in one’s own personal interests into the therapeutic space and finding coping skills that are tailored to each individual and seeing what works for them.
Emily works with teens and young adults ages 14 and up, offering thoughtful, developmentally attuned support during this critical stage of life. Her work focuses especially on what many families refer to as “adulting” — the often stressful transition from adolescence into independent adulthood.
Supporting the Transition to Adulthood
Beyond the broader mental health crisis, Emily specializes in helping teens and young adults (16–25) navigate the complex transition into adulthood.
This stage often includes:
- Balancing parental expectations while developing independence
- Building and maintaining romantic relationships and friendships
- Deciding on school or career paths
- Learning to manage finances and budgeting
- Developing confidence in decision-making
These milestones may look exciting from the outside, but internally they can feel overwhelming. Many young adults question themselves constantly: Am I behind? Am I doing this right? Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out?
Emily understands that “adulting” is not simply about responsibility - it is about identity formation, autonomy, and emotional resilience.
Emily’s Approach
Emily Daniels creates a supportive and collaborative environment where teens and young adults feel respected and understood. She recognizes that this stage of life involves both vulnerability and strength - and she works alongside clients to build practical tools while honoring their unique experiences.
Her work is grounded in helping young people:
- Feel heard without judgment
- Develop confidence in navigating independence
- Strengthen emotional resilience
- Build healthier relationships
- Move toward adulthood with greater clarity and self-trust

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. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach.

It can feel incredibly heavy when you're carrying a burden alone. Reaching out for support is a courageous and meaningful first step. You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, or stuck in old emotional habits or coping strategies that no longer help. Addictive behaviors may offer brief comfort, and major life transitions can place a deeper strain on your well-being. Therapy offers a safe space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with the strengths and values that already live within you.
I integrate evidence-based, cognitive, and neuroscience-informed approaches to help you understand your patterns with clarity and compassion. Together, we build practical coping skills, strengthen boundaries, and develop tools that support emotional regulation and intentional action. My work centers on the mind–body–brain connection—exploring not just why you react, but how to shift those responses in ways that promote lasting well-being. Drawing on a masters degree in psychology, my MEd from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and decades in school and college settings, I bring a grounded, developmentally informed, and culturally attuned lens to our work. As someone who has worked and lived across continents, including 20 years in Brazil, I deeply value how identity, family, and lived experience shape healing.
As a collaborative and compassionate Certified Addictions Counselor and supervised LADC, I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered. Therapy is a partnership: you bring your story, strengths, and cultural wisdom, and I provide structure, skills, and curiosity to guide the process. My goal is to help you cultivate clarity, resilience, and self-trust that endures beyond our sessions. If you’re ready to move toward sustainable balance and well-being, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Coping / Grief

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.
