Newell is a fantastic therapist and I would recommend him to any friend or family member needing mental health counseling. He appropriately challenged my thoughts to elicit positive change during a very difficult time period in my life. His expertise and experience is unmatched, and his methods are extremely productive and successful. Every session I was able to learn several new strategies to improve my ability to manage my daily mental health struggles. To any one out there struggling with their own battle, you would be lucky to have Newell to help guide you through your difficult time.
More about Newell

I am a licensed psychotherapist in Massachusetts with over 25 years of clinical experience. I have worked in multiple settings, including crisis teams, day treatment programs, and hospitals. I have also been providing individual, couples, and group psychotherapy throughout this period.
I adjust my clinical style based on the needs of the client. I am comfortable providing feedback and strategies if necessary, particularly if you are most interested in a problem-solving approach. I frequently utilize spiritual and existential modalities. I have extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, and Nonviolent Communication.
I am particularly interested in working with people open to mindfulness and spiritual modalities. I have found the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy to be profound influential in my work and in my ability to be helpful to patients.
Finally, if you are looking for a therapist who can make a quick connection, either with yourself or a loved one, I think I would be an excellent choice. Because of the current nature of my work in a hospital, I am comfortable in crisis situations, and with the importance of making an alliance early on in the therapeutic relationship.
Good luck in your process. I commend you for taking this step in your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
