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.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I’m Mary Mesiha, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Since beginning my career in 1999, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds across a range of settings-which shaped my approach to therapy.
I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and issues related to adoption. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you make sense of what you are going through in a meaningful and manageable way.
I am licensed to practice in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, and Illinois.

The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
Being a Sex Therapist, I like potential clients to know that I deliberately create a safe, non-judgmental environment both online and in person. My dream is for sex and relational health to be honored and easy to talk about, and for the myths and realities of what is possible to come to light.

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.
