I Love my weekly sessions with Lynda. She’s been my therapist for about a year and a half, and I have to say our connection was strong from the beginning. She’s very easy to talk to, supports all of my goals, and encourages me when I am at my low points. Our weekly sessions have been a great comfort to me over the past year and a half and I can’t express in words how much she has helped me deal with my Issues and find a path towards my happiness again.

Hello, I am a licensed social work therapist in Massachusetts with 30 years of professional work experience. If you are a client facing mid life challenges or a client who is facing challenges of growing older then I can help. Our lives bring unexpected events that can be scarey, or depressing. Relationship changes, family conflicts, financial stress are just some of the reasons people like yourself come to therapy. If you suffer from chronic illness, loss of a job, a loved one, or just wondering who you are in your stage of life, then I can help. I utilize my skills of compassion, understanding, healing,amd humor (when appropriate!). I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to reach out for help and I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Taking care of yourself is of the utmost importance and I hope you will let me be part of your team.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lynda is very insightful and really listens. Our conversations are organic, safe and comfortable. I really appreciate her on so many levels.
I had started better help little over a month ago, and I was reluctant to seek out help or to have somebody listen to my problems. Lynda has been a great listener and also given great advice and self-reflective questions that help me understand some of the deeper misconnections that I currently have in life with myself friends and family, and so I am grateful for the opportunity to have been matched with her and to experience a great support through this application. I will continue to use this and with the help of Lynda create a better mindset path for myself and my future.
Lynda knows more about me than I do, she's incredibly insightful, offers great advice. I'm particularly amazed at Lynda ability to take on board my thoughts and relay them back to me in a way that helps me to understand them better. Thank you Lynda
