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.

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.

Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Will I ever feel like myself again? It can feel as though a part of you has vanished, leaving behind an emptiness nothing seems to ease. Life feels muted; colors less vivid, joy just out of reach. Some days, you hardly recognize the person you’ve become. You want to move forward, yet every step feels heavy and uncertain. When you think about the future, it often appears distant and dark, leaving you wondering how life reached this point.
Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to untangle the layers of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I provide a compassionate environment where you can openly explore anxiety, depression, and the challenges weighing on you. Even if you feel trapped by your current circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, direction, and a sense of freedom through working with a professional.
Will happiness return? Yes. Counseling can help you reconnect with who you want to be and how you want to feel. This is your opportunity to make a change and step away from the life that has been holding you down. Take the step you’ve been postponing and reconnect with your confident, joyful self. I’m here to help when you’re ready. Reach out today to begin.

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.
