XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.

Dr. Kirsten Christensen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I'm a firm believer 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 I take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of my work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. I take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. I also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. My 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.
I 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, I take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
I 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.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering telehealth counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. A primary specialty of our group is working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, either around sexual and gender identity questions directly or around other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, that are informed by sexual and gender identity. We work with many individuals who are gender non-conforming, transgender, or gender queer, as well as their families. We make no assumptions about your or your child's gender when you come to our practice, but rather our goal is to listen and help you navigate how best to move forward either individually or as a family. Part of our work also encompasses queer relationship counseling, as well as non-traditional relationships, such as open and polyamorous relationships.
A second speciality area of ours is offering evidenced based treatment, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for emotion and behavior regulation. Clients come to us struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, attention and organization difficulties, and/or self injury. We provide practical tools, skills and techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more effectively.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Healing happens when you feel truly safe — and creating that kind of space is something I take seriously, for both individuals and couples. I show up as an active and engaged partner, asking thoughtful questions, offering honest reflections, and keeping us anchored to what matters most to you. Together we'll gently uncover the patterns that may have once served you but are now getting in the way of the connections and life you want. My clients often leave sessions feeling not just heard, but with a greater sense of clarity and direction. With a background in Fine Arts, I bring creativity, imagination, and the occasional moment of levity as welcome parts of the healing process.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Starting therapy can feel intimidating—especially if you’ve been dealing with anxiety, trauma, mood swings, or feeling overwhelmed for a long time. I offer online therapy to adults 18+ in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, providing a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you feel more grounded and in control.
I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma-informed care, ADHD, PTSD, and mood disorders, including bipolar disorder and major depression. I also have significant experience working with serious mental illness and complex presentations. My style is collaborative and practical, focused on building skills that actually help in day-to-day life.
Whether you’re struggling with panic, emotional regulation, intrusive thoughts, or the impact of past trauma, we’ll work together to create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. Sessions are offered via secure telehealth for convenience and accessibility.
I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, practical, and grounded in real life. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from managing anxiety, trauma, mood symptoms, or attention difficulties on their own. My role is to help you feel more stable, supported, and equipped with tools that actually help day to day.
I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and serious mental illness, including bipolar disorder and psychotic-spectrum conditions. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and tailor treatment to each client’s goals, nervous system, and lived experience.
In our work together, we focus on understanding patterns, building coping and regulation skills, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. I aim to provide a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
I offer secure online therapy for adults 18+ throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Clients who reside locally most often schedule in-person sessions. Other local clients can elect to blend in person and remote hypnotherapy sessions using Zoom. Clients who reside out of the immediate area or in another State will have all of their sessions using Zoom. To accommodate the online process, I use a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom to protect your privacy and confidentiality. If you are not familiar with Zoom, note that it is a free download that works splendidly with a cell phone, tablet, or laptop. Once you download Zoom, and before your first session, we will connect and practice a bit at no cost to you. My goal is to make the remote process both easy and comfortable for you. My online hypnotherapy services are identical in content to those I conduct in person. In that I pride myself as being an educator charged with teaching you a lifelong skillset, you will need to be able to receive and print email attachments. Lastly, especially for those who reside out of the area, payment is by way of PayPal.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I intend to serve those who have to work during the day, those who do not have typical transportation available, or those who do not have the freedom to attend therapy in person. I will be working from home, and you may occasionally hear a dog in the background because I rescue animals. I am here for those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, or grief. You will find I am compassionate, warm, and authentic. I have been there. I have the life experience and education to help you overcome your challenges. No issue is too big or too small.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict or emotional distance and are unsure how to repair the bond they once had. Many of the individuals and couples I work with, including LGBTQ+ partners, are navigating betrayal, trauma, attachment injuries, or long standing relational patterns that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I also support individuals whose relationship distress is impacting their mental health, sense of self, or ability to feel secure and connected. My clients are often seeking a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection, and are ready to do the work it takes to heal.
I am an experienced couples therapist who has spent several years working almost exclusively with couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and individuals. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand their attachment needs, identify and break negative cycles, and rebuild emotional connection.
Reaching out for couples or individual therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when things feel tense or uncertain. You don’t have to have all the answers before starting. If you are motivated to better understand your relationship patterns and willing to do the work, therapy can be a powerful place to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change together.

You might look “high-functioning” on the outside but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck in the same patterns. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, understand what's driving this, and feel some relief.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week! The exploration of your true self, despite the challenges you have to overcome, is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
