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.

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.

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.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
