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.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

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.

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.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, stress, or uncertainty about the future start to take over. I specialize in helping men, young professionals, and veterans navigate the complex challenges of modern life—including identity, purpose, relationships, and emotional regulation.
I am Damon Neely, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I provide online therapy for adults across multiple states who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions. My practice focuses particularly on men’s mental health, helping clients address issues such as perfectionism, low self-worth, anger, relationship conflict, and the pressures associated with modern masculinity.
Many of my clients are men who appear successful on the outside but internally feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction in life. Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
As a veteran therapist, I also enjoy working with military members and veterans navigating the transition from service to civilian life. These experiences often involve identity shifts, relationship adjustments, and the search for renewed purpose.
My approach to therapy is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from several therapeutic models including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Existential Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy
Family Systems Theory
While techniques are helpful, the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged in a healthy way, and empowered to develop greater self-awareness.
In our work together we may explore topics such as:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Depression and emotional numbness
• Identity and life purpose
• Masculinity and role expectations
• Anger management and emotional regulation
• Relationship and communication issues
• Fatherhood and family dynamics
• Self-worth and confidence
• Personal meaning and life direction
My work is heavily influenced by existential psychology, which focuses on helping individuals create meaning, develop authenticity, and align their lives with their deepest values.
Many clients come to therapy believing something is “wrong” with them. Often the real issue is that they have never had the space to examine their experiences, beliefs, and emotions in a supportive environment.
Therapy can help you gain clarity, challenge limiting narratives, and develop the insight necessary to create meaningful change.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, purpose, and direction.

Andrea Kamins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, MSW
People often come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed and aren't sure why. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma/complex PTSD, and childhood emotional neglect (CEN). I particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP), neurodiverse individuals, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults age 21 and older who are motivated to create meaningful change in life and work, and deepen self-understanding. My clients enjoy my direct, warm style and sense of humor.
