Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Today you are one step closer to a newer you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path for growth and well-being. Life has full of challenges, transitions, and adjustments. Since we can’t always mitigate or control these challenges; the key is to be aware of our maladaptive behaviors and build strength by reducing the impacts and enhancing our coping skills. These are the aspects that is within our control. We understand that not everyone can heal and cope the same way. Therefore, our clinicians are trained in a wide range of techniques. These include psychodynamic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focus therapy, motivational therapy, accelerated resolution therapy, and play/art therapy.

Marissa Cashman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Obstacles and difficulties often occur in life. Seeking guidance from a licensed professional can be a wonderful way of gaining coping skills and a different perspective. Feeling anxious and apprehensive when meeting with a therapist for the first time is understandable. However, once the process begins, that worry usually washes away. My goal is to use empathy, humor, and clinical skills to help you obtain insight, clarity, and courage becoming your most authentic self.

Upstream Mental Health
Psychologist, Ph.D., PsyD, LMHC, LCAT-LP
We’re firm believers that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.
Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why we take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. We take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. We also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. Our goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy.
We also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, we take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
We specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.
