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.

Michelle Hoffman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
So many teenagers are struggling with mental health these days, what can the rest of the family do to not only support the teen but keep themselves moving forward? My goal is a whole family that reflects the values and goals of every member. I work a lot with families who have kids who have multiples challenges, have experienced trauma, who may be immersed in school refusal, and/or may be considered for a residential placement.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
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.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Healing doesn’t require a commute; it flourishes in a safe, focused space. I provide a high-level, remote clinical environment that brings privacy, comfort, and convenience directly to you. This allows you to engage in deep work from your own home, where being "seen and heard" is only the beginning. Together, we will untangle the patterns holding you back and translate self-awareness into practical tools and strategies—bridging the gap between where you are and a life of genuine purpose, joy, and ease.

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.

Yvette Chalifoux M.A., LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
After over a decade of clinical experience, I understand the exhaustion of carrying invisible struggles. Whether you're navigating anxiety, high achiever anxiety & perfectionism, codependency, everyday stress, life changes, issues within your relationship, or drowning in everyone else's needs but your own, you deserve more than just surviving to keep it all together. Therapy honors your resilience while creating space to breathe—without having to pretend that everything is okay. In our sessions together, you'll discover what becomes possible when you no longer carry every burden alone.
