Now accepting clients as of May, 2026! My name is Etamar and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with teens, college students, and young adults struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, low mood, trauma, identity questions, addiction, and the pressure of figuring out life while it keeps moving. I help clients better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Therapy can be a place to feel supported, challenged, and guided toward a more confident and grounded version of yourself. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and real. I’m not here to just nod and reflect. I use CBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce stress, and create meaningful change. I meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to what actually works for them. In our first sessions, we’ll clarify what feels overwhelming, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build a plan for progress. My practice is practical, honest, and personalized.

I work best with clients who may appear to have it together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Many are navigating trauma, OCD, mood changes, identity exploration, or relationship stress. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and those looking for an authentic, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves and heal.

It’s common to show up feeling like you’re managing on the outside but overwhelmed internally by anxiety, stress, or self-doubt. My goal is to create a steady space where we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and build coping tools that feel realistic and usable beyond session.

I work with clients who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to look at what's not working in their lives. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical…over time, clients feel more grounded, self-compassionate, and in control of the choices that shape their daily lives.

On the surface it looks like things are going well, but deep down you are overwhelmed and struggling to hold it all together. You may be trying to balance grades, social pressure, and expectations of others, while also figuring out who you are and what you want in your life. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together on your own. The racing thoughts, the overthinking, the fear of judgment—it can all feel like too much. Figuring out who you are and what you want in life can be messy. I am here to support you as you navigate life change and who you are in the midst of those changes. My hope is to help you decrease anxiety while building up your confidence and trust in yourself. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I utilize a client centered and trauma informed care approach in my work. I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support you and the goals that feel most important to you.

Hi, I'm Tammy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and more than five years of outpatient experience. I love partnering with adults from all walks of life, and I bring a warm, trauma-informed approach to everything we do together. Most of my clients come to me while navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, or relationship challenges. These are the moments when it is easiest to feel alone, and my goal is to help you build resilience, form healthier connections, and rediscover a sense of calm that may feel out of reach right now. I draw on tools like CBT, ACT, and DBT and tailor our work to what actually fits your life. I believe you are in the driver's seat of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and my job is to help you find your way there. Therapy with me is a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are, untangle what feels tangled, and move toward the version of yourself you want to be. When I'm not with clients, you'll find me traveling, trying new cafes, and making my daily matcha latte. I see clients through WellQor, which provides online therapy so you can meet with me from wherever you are most comfortable. To get started, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help schedule your first session.

Yes, I am accepting new patients. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. By remaining an out-of-network provider, I can offer you the time, privacy, and personalized attention needed to help you feel better and achieve a better quality of life. My approach combines holistic wellness with evidence-supported medicine. I offer an initial two-hour comprehensive psychiatric diagnostic assessment and 30-minute follow-up appointments. My goal is to work with you to develop a plan that treats the whole person, rather than just the symptoms. I ensure we have ample time to discuss treatment options and progress. When medications are prescribed, I discuss with you potential side effects and interactions in detail, and provide careful follow-up. I return your urgent calls within 24 hours. To ensure privacy and the highest quality of care, I use secure, HIPAA-compliant technology for video visits and periodic screening tools to track your improvements. I have caring administrative support staff to assist you. Please contact my office to schedule your initial consultation. I look forward to partnering with you on your path to feeling better.

Spending your days replaying conversations, struggling to start tasks, or feeling like your brain just works differently can be exhausting. ADHD can leave you feeling constantly behind, anxiety keeps the inner noise turned up, and depression makes it hard to stay connected. I work with adults navigating these patterns, as well as individuals processing trauma or working through substance use. Whether you’re trying to quiet the noise or figure out why you process the world differently, sessions feel like a real, grounded conversation with low pressure, genuine warmth, and plenty of space to think out loud. Within a few weeks, people start noticing patterns they hadn't seen before, like what drives the cycle and what actually helps. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy. Instead of a rigid model, I use these tools flexibly, focusing on actionable strategies, self-awareness, and approaches tailored specifically to you. How we learned to connect early in life shows up everywhere, from our communication to our boundaries and daily stress. My goal is to help you understand who you are, make sense of what has gotten in the way, and build practical tools that fit your life. I offer a free consultation. Reach out today and let us see if we are a good fit.

College can be exciting, but it can also bring a lot of pressure, uncertainty, and change. You may be dealing with anxiety, relationship or family stress, difficult emotions, academic pressure, or questions about who you are and where you're headed. You might also notice old patterns showing up in new ways as you become more independent. I work with college students and young adults to better understand what they're experiencing, manage difficult emotions, strengthen relationships and communication, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges. My style is warm, calm, and nonjudgmental. I'll give you space to be yourself and talk openly, while also offering support, new perspectives, and gentle challenges when they can help you grow. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin with what's happening for you right now and work together from there.

College can bring a lot of pressure—academically, socially, and personally. You may be dealing with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or burned out, struggling with confidence, or trying to figure out what you want for your future. You might also be adjusting to greater independence, navigating relationships, or exploring your identity and sense of belonging. I work with college students and young adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, and life transitions. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I'll give you space to talk openly and feel heard without judgment, while also offering guidance, new perspectives, and practical strategies that can help you manage challenges and move forward. Therapy doesn't have to look the same for everyone. We'll work together to understand what's contributing to how you're feeling and find an approach that fits your needs, goals, and life.

Hello! I help clients seeking to become “unstuck,” to meet new challenges, and to navigate relationships and emotions. I help individuals with anxiety, relationships, stress management, self-esteem, and decision making. I primarily use techniques based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I incorporate mindfulness practices if they appeal to the client. I am non-judgmental, warm, and active. I will strive to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of your values, needs, and struggles. We will clarify obstacles, evaluate coping strategies, identify personally meaningful goals, and develop skills necessary for a path forward. I have extensive experience with young adults, including those who are in undergraduate, graduate, and early career stages. I understand the unique challenges that this life stage presents and support clients as they navigate their identity, education, careers, and relationships. I also support young adults with time management, organizational skills, goal-setting, and planning. Please reach out for a consultation and to learn about working together.

I offer specialized individual and group therapy for teenagers and young adults in Massachusetts, and I specialize primarily in trauma recovery, men’s mental health, and complex family & intimate relationship dynamics. I see patients both via virtual telehealth sessions and for walk-and-talk therapy sessions in nature when fitting. I am most experienced working with those coping with trauma, going through family challenges, grappling with their identity (e.g., men's/masculinity issues, faith and sexuality/coming out, racial trauma, social class), striving to be in healthy relationships, as well as those exploring therapy for the first time. I work from the belief that our relationships with others and ourselves can be a source of deep suffering as well as a powerful window into self-discovery, intimacy, and healing. Therapy with me is a blend of support, curiosity, humor, challenging honesty, and the freedom to be and feel just as you are. Reach out to see if I might be a good fit for you.

I am a Harvard-trained psychiatrist providing psychotherapy and medication management for college students and young adults. I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, perfectionism, test anxiety, social anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ students and young adults, as well as those navigating identity development, college adjustment, academic stress, and uncertainty about the future. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by coursework, struggling socially, questioning your direction, or finding it difficult to meet the expectations you've set for yourself, treatment can provide a space to better understand what's getting in the way and develop a healthier path forward. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy with evidence-based medication management when appropriate, taking the time to understand your unique experiences, goals, and values rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is to help you not only reduce symptoms, but also develop greater self-understanding, confidence, and resilience.

Have you lost interest in activities that used to bring you joy? Do you lack motivation to meet your responsibilities? Do you feel overwhelmed with life's tasks and worry incessantly about the future? Have you had trouble falling or staying asleep due to overthinking?

Avoiding or ignoring these feelings will not make them go away but together we can face them and launch you on a journey to optimal mental health. I offer client-centered psychotherapy where I incorporate elements of psychodynamic, CBT, and humanistic therapy in catering to your unique needs. My job is to provide you with a safe, judgment free space where you can be vulnerable and experience compassionate listening. As a psychologist with a decade of clinical experience, I’ve worked with many individuals struggling with their thoughts and emotions and helped them find greater meaning, satisfaction, and joy in life. My passion is helping you thrive and obtain your highest potential. Contact me today for a free consultation and we’ll get started on your journey together!

I bring over 25 years of experience supporting young adults through major life transitions, mental health challenges, and the everyday complexities of college life. For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at Boston College as an Associate Dean and instructor, helping students navigate academic pressure, identity development, and moments of uncertainty with compassion and clarity. I also understand the university system deeply, which allows me to help students who are coping with mental health challenges access campus supports while we work together on their therapeutic goals. My clinical work is grounded in evidence‑based, trauma‑informed approaches and a strong belief in students’ resilience. Sessions are thoughtful, personalized, and goal oriented. In our work together, I will create a space where you can understand what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths, and move through college with greater clarity and support.
