Online Transpersonal therapists in Massachusetts

In my practice I use an "Intensive" model: one individual or one couple, with one therapist, working six hours a day for three to five days. And, yes it is intense. Most of my clients have experience being in psychotherapy, often without the results they want. They have never, inside the "one hour weekly therapy" model, been able to really adress the trauma and neglect in their history that drives their painful inner experience. They have ben too busy addressing the brushfires of daily life. In an Intensive we get to the drivers. And we can do it online from the privacy of your home if you wish.  

Telehealth is the sole means of conducting therapy through my practice at this time due to COVID-19. HIPAA Compliant platforms are regularly used and accessed through an emailed link or text message appointment reminder.  

I'm offering teletherapy on the HIPAA compliant Doxy.me platform.  

Zoom online conferencing or Doxy.me,- including phone sessions if preferred - for all counseling, coaching and healing sessions. I specialize in natural approaches for mental health. I provide traditional, holistic and Transpersonal psychotherapy, empowering people with hope, skills for positive change and a path for total well being. My services include mindfulness, cultivating self compassion, mind-body-spirit therapies, Depth Psychology and integration of the whole being. Clients love my work. They learn inner skills of mental balance, insight, self love, inner bonding, letting go/releasing, and a relaxed, open mind. Clients gain inner clarity, integration, and self mastery. I work with ALL issues, primarily from a Depth, Jungian, Transpersonal and mindfulness perspective. Issues as relationships, depression, anxiety, health issues, codependency, self esteem/self worth, loss and life direction, to discovering core values, spirituality, exploring the dreamworld - and much more.
