Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Therapists in Lowell, MA

I am a licensed psychotherapist with 30+ years experience.l’ha est been providing psychotherapy to Adults,Couples,and Families in the New England area.

Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

Lowell is a historic Massachusetts mill city on the Merrimack River that played a central role in the American Industrial Revolution and has since become one of the most ethnically diverse mid-size cities in New England, home to the largest Cambodian-American community in the United States outside Long Beach, California, as well as significant Southeast Asian, Latino, and African immigrant populations. The mental health landscape is profoundly shaped by the refugee and survivor trauma of the Cambodian community, many of whom experienced the Khmer Rouge genocide and its aftermath, and by the mental health needs of a broader immigrant population navigating acculturation, language barriers, and the stresses of economic life in a post-industrial city. UMass Lowell has graduate programs in psychology and counseling, contributing to the local mental health workforce. Common therapy concerns include refugee and genocide-related trauma, acculturation stress, intergenerational family conflict, economic anxiety, and the mental health challenges of a remarkably diverse community still building culturally competent care infrastructure.
