Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Justin Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping individuals across the lifespan build emotional wellness, resilience, and meaningful change. Based in Salt Lake City, Justin provides virtual therapy to clients throughout Utah and New Jersey, offering accessible, convenient care. Many clients begin therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by racing thoughts, weighed down by hopelessness, and unsure how to move forward. Justin partners closely with his clients to clarify concerns, examine unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about themselves, and regain a sense of confidence and direction.
Justin integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients recognize and challenge judgments about themselves, others, and the world around them. Many of the individuals he works with experience intense stress, anxiety, depression, and persistent self-doubt that interferes with daily life. Through therapy, Justin supports clients in identifying their strengths, rebuilding self-worth, and moving ahead with a more balanced and hopeful perspective.
Creating a safe, supportive space is central to Justin’s work, allowing clients to explore anxiety and depression without judgment. With experience serving individuals from diverse backgrounds, his approach is both trauma-informed and culturally responsive. Justin understands that each client’s experiences are unique and believes their care should reflect individualized, thoughtful solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Justin understands that many clients feel constrained by the direction their lives have taken. He is committed to helping them gain clarity and a greater sense of freedom through professional support. In addition to the convenience of telehealth, he provides a flexible schedule with evening and weekend appointments to better accommodate his clients’ needs.

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.

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.

Larissa Crane, LICSW, RYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, EMDR Certified
I believe it takes strength and courage to come to therapy. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be getting in the way of living your best life.
I take an integrated approach to therapy, incorporating mindfulness, meditation, somatic awareness, and other evidence-based approaches to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful change. As a certified EMDR practitioner, I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma, including physical, emotional, and interpersonal trauma.
I bring a unique perspective to my work with individuals and families involved in the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court system. Having personally navigated the Probate and Family Court system for more than a decade, I understand how complex, stressful, and overwhelming these proceedings can be. This personal experience, combined with my professional training as a clinician, GAL, and Parenting Coordinator, allows me to offer a perspective that is both clinically informed and grounded in an understanding of the realities of high-conflict family systems.
In addition to individual therapy, I provide Parenting Coordination services, Guardian ad Litem investigations and consultations, and therapeutic support for high-conflict couples and families. I have particular experience working with individuals impacted by narcissistic abuse, coercive control, trauma, and difficult or disrupted parent-child relationships.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel empowered, develop healthier patterns, and move toward greater stability, self-understanding, and fulfillment.

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.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Medication management sessions are combined with brief, supportive therapy to address both symptom relief and underlying challenges. During appointments, we review how medications are working, monitor for side effects, and make adjustments when needed. Time is also spent discussing current stressors, developing coping strategies, and supporting emotional wellbeing. This integrated approach helps ensure that treatment addresses both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health while supporting meaningful and lasting improvement.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Many high-achieving adults look successful on the outside but internally struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or a constant feeling of not being “good enough.” If you’re used to being the strong one for everyone else, it can feel difficult to slow down and take care of your own emotional needs.
I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, rebuild self-trust, and develop healthier boundaries so life no longer feels overwhelming. My approach combines evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a supportive, culturally aware style that helps you understand the patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Through online therapy, we’ll work together to help you quiet the inner critic, strengthen your confidence, and create lasting change so you can move through life with more clarity, balance, and self-compassion.
