Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

AJ Guerrero
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I'm alive, I'm awake and I feel gay, in the homosexual sense and the sense of joy. I’m a Filipina butch lesbian grown in Texas and brings the queer southern kindness with my presence. My ultimate goal is collective liberation, and that guides how I work with clients in supporting how situations, relationships and patterns of behavior and thoughts can align with their own personal values and goals

Allison Margolis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, LICSW, RN
Selecting the right psychiatric medication and truly optimizing it takes more than a prescription. My background as a psychotherapist sets my medication management approach apart, enabling deeper collaboration and a nuanced understanding of your needs. Whether you're new to medication or re-evaluating your regimen, I bring a strong recognition of the whole person to every prescribing decision, providing comprehensive assessments, attentive follow-up, and genuine partnership as we work toward getting you feeling better as soon as possible. You can visit my website to learn more about my education, experience, and qualifications.
I specialize in medication management for adults navigating OCD and anxiety disorders, with particular attention to the needs of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I'm a member of the International OCD Foundation and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, reflecting my commitment to providing the highest quality care to these populations.
All appointments are telehealth, making care accessible wherever you are in Massachusetts. I prioritize clear communication and collaboration- you'll always understand your treatment plan and have a voice in shaping it. My goal is not just symptom relief, but lasting improvement in how you feel and function day to day.
