Ketamine-Assisted Therapists in New Bedford, MA

I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning. I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. is a group of highly trained professionals providing mental health services based in Columbus, Ohio. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, focusing on young adults. We are also experts in LGBTQIA+ and ENM/ polyamory. Many of our clients have found great success in many facets of their lives but struggle to manage their emotions and stress. We are particularly sensitive to those experiencing life transitions like moving, a breakup, changing jobs, graduating, or beginning a new relationship when self-doubt and increased anxiety and depression can emerge. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so that they can begin making targeted and sustainable changes. Our clinicians blend person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and acceptance, and commitment therapy. We help clients understand their physical and emotional responses to stressors and learn to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change. Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. focuses on ensuring our clients see real progress. We are warm, laid back, and affirming. We are sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and we work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and self-compassion. Our priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. We offer the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.

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.
