Cara Marolda
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Everyone experiences distressing or overwhelming challenges at different points in life. Many people struggle to manage these inevitable difficulties, get stuck and then subsequently feel defined by their emotional pain. This can negatively impact relationships, ambitions, work and self-worth. I believe in people’s inherent right to live meaningful and joyful lives and in their ability to choose how to respond to life’s challenges. I support my clients through their courageous process of self-exploration and self-compassion.

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.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

Daniell Cohen Bertagnolli
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ATR, RYT
Whether you have a clear vision of what you hope to gain from therapy or still figuring this out, together, we will build insight through a safe and judgement-free therapeutic environment.

Evolve Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we are struggling with our mental health, we often struggle in silence. This can be isolating and disconnect us from others. It can be really hard to seek support from people in our life and professionals because we feel anxiety, shame, or fear judgment, invalidation or rejection. Therapy provides the opportunity to step into your vulnerability at a pace that feels safe for you. Unlike other relationships, a therapeutic relationship is rooted in nonjudgment, unconditional acceptance, safety and confidentiality. I prioritize creating a safe space for you to feel heard and supported. I value your vulnerability and individuality. There is no one size fits all approach to therapy making every therapeutic experience uniquely different. My goal is to walk alongside you, explore what you are going through, and help you develop effective tools/insight so that you can live a full, authentic life.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I started Safe Space Counseling Services to create the kind of therapy environment I saw so many high-achieving adults needing ; one that feels both supportive and structured. Many of my clients appear strong and successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt. I provide online therapy across Massachusetts to help you slow down, build self-trust, and create healthier patterns that support long-term emotional balance.

Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I believe therapy is one of the few places where you can be fully honest without fear of judgment. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, blending genuine curiosity with clinical insight. Rather than simply offering advice, I help clients understand the deeper patterns influencing their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices. Together, we explore both the "why" behind your experiences and the practical steps needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, challenged, and supported as you build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My name is Damon Neely. I have been a therapist since 2012. I didn't come to this work through a straightforward path. Before I was a therapist, I was a U.S. Marine — trained to project strength, suppress what's underneath, and keep moving regardless of what I was carrying. That orientation served me in a lot of contexts. It also cost me things I didn't fully understand until later.
When I transitioned out and eventually found my way into healthcare and then into clinical mental health work, I brought that background with me — not as a credential to display, but as a lived reference point. I know what it's like to operate in high-pressure environments where vulnerability is a liability. I know what it costs to perform competence while something quieter is going on underneath. And I know how unfamiliar it feels to sit across from someone and actually say what's true.
That's the man I built my practice around. Not because it's a profitable niche — though it is — but because I understand him from the inside. The high-performer who has optimized everything in his life except his relationship with himself. The man who can hold a room but can't quiet the voice in his head. The man who takes meticulous care of everyone except himself. These aren't abstract client profiles to me. They're men I recognize.
Over two decades in healthcare and eleven years in clinical practice have sharpened how I work, but the core of it hasn't changed: I believe most men are carrying more than they've ever said out loud, and that saying it — to the right person, in the right space — changes something fundamental. Not just symptom relief. Something deeper. A shift in how a man understands himself and what he believes he deserves.
That's what I show up to do.
