Laurel Shortell

I work with a diverse range of individual adults throughout Massachusetts, including those in relationships of all configurations, college students, those grieving pet loss, and technical professionals, drawing on my own background as a software engineer. I also maintain a focus on clients who are on the autism spectrum, including neurodivergent adults and relationships where one or more partners identify as being on the spectrum.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Pinar Kaiser
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy is most effective when it’s grounded in trust, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic relationship. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns at a pace that feels right. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration in the therapy process, and I work to meet clients where they are rather than where they feel they “should” be. While therapy is a space for support and understanding, I also believe in thoughtfully and gently challenging clients when helpful, encouraging reflection, growth, and new perspectives that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
