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.

Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, or simply feeling lost. Many of us feel pressured to constantly strive for happiness, yet still end up feeling overwhelmed and not enough. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your true self and your own needs, free from external expectations. My approach is warm, holistic, and collaborative. We'll work together to understand your concerns, build self-awareness, break old patterns, and heal from the past. Drawing on an understanding of cultural and life experiences, I help clients regain control, confidence, and hope for the future.

Angelynn Lindor
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
What makes my practice unique is the blend of compassion, clinical insight, and cultural sensitivity I bring to every session. I understand that healing isn't one-size-fits-all—and neither is therapy. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and your story matters. I take a holistic and collaborative approach, integrating evidence-based tools with emotional and, if you choose, faith-based support rooted in Christian values. My goal is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, gain clarity, and build the emotional strength to move forward with confidence. If you’re looking for therapy that’s grounded, relational, and deeply affirming—you don’t have to walk this journey alone. Let’s take the next step together. I offer free 15-minute consultations to help you learn more about my approach and to see if we’re a good fit.

Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Healing doesn’t require a commute; it flourishes in a safe, focused space. I provide a high-level, remote clinical environment that brings privacy, comfort, and convenience directly to you. This allows you to engage in deep work from your own home, where being "seen and heard" is only the beginning. Together, we will untangle the patterns holding you back and translate self-awareness into practical tools and strategies—bridging the gap between where you are and a life of genuine purpose, joy, and ease.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
From the outside, life may look successful, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, burned out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Through a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (CBT, DBT, and EMDR), I help clients break free from patterns of stress and perfectionism so they can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC, LCMHC
I approach therapy as a process of meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term symptom relief. My work integrates psychodynamic, experiential, and evidence-based approaches, allowing me to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each person I work with. I focus on helping clients understand and shift the deeper patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others.
My approach emphasizes presence, emotional awareness, and attunement, with attention to core areas such as attachment, separation, identity, agency, and intimate relationships. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work collaboratively to build a structure for growth that is both thoughtful and practical, supporting real movement forward.
I am committed to helping clients develop greater clarity, stability, and internal capacity so that change is not only understood, but experienced and sustained over time.

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After trauma, healing begins with understanding your experience. Trauma isn't just the event; it's the inability to make sense of what happened, often leaving you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy relationships. Whether or not you recognize childhood abuse or neglect, its effects show up subtly. You found a way to survive an absent, rigid, or abusive dynamic, but everyday life can still trigger those old wounds. You might feel a loss of control, carry deep self-doubt, or constantly put others first to your own detriment. If you are wondering how to help yourself and take the next step, you do not have to navigate this alone.
It takes immense courage to seek therapy when carrying trauma or pain. You do not have to carry it alone anymore. In our sessions—using EMDR with other modalities, we will work as a collaborative team at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. You are always the driver here. Together, we will build the lasting tools you need to reclaim your life.
I know how scary reaching out is—I've been in your shoes. Years ago, navigating trauma, divorce, and family hardships, I resisted restarting therapy. But taking that leap helped me rebuild an empowered version of myself. You deserve to feel lighter and in control again, too. Contact me today and lets see if we're a good fit.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The city is home to world-class mental health institutions including McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
