Serenity Coaching & Counseling LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LICSW, PsyD, LADC, LMFT, LCSW, MA
Counseling & Coaching compliment each other. Therapy focuses on addressing past traumas & mental health concerns, while coaching focuses on helping individuals achieve future goals & optimize their performance in specific areas. One often involves exploring the root causes of problems, helping clients process emotions & develop coping mechanisms and the other focuses on setting & achieving goals in the present & future, leveraging strengths, action-oriented strategies & resources for personal & professional development.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Real growth doesn't require a commute; it happens when you feel safe enough to put down the weight you've been carrying. As a remote clinician, I maintain a private space where busy women can step away from daily demands and focus entirely on themselves.
My approach goes beyond surface-level advice. As both a clinician, a parent, and someone who has experienced therapy firsthand, I know how deeply that fit matters. Together, we’ll untangle self-doubt, address the impact of past experiences, and help you tune into your body's signals. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, giving you practical strategies to navigate life's challenges and foster genuine ease.

Allison Margolis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, LICSW, RN
Selecting the right psychiatric medication and truly optimizing it takes more than a prescription. My background as a psychotherapist sets my medication management approach apart, enabling deeper collaboration and a nuanced understanding of your needs. Whether you're new to medication or re-evaluating your regimen, I bring a strong recognition of the whole person to every prescribing decision, providing comprehensive assessments, attentive follow-up, and genuine partnership as we work toward getting you feeling better as soon as possible. You can visit my website to learn more about my education, experience, and qualifications.
I specialize in medication management for adults navigating OCD and anxiety disorders, with particular attention to the needs of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I'm a member of the International OCD Foundation and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, reflecting my commitment to providing the highest quality care to these populations.
All appointments are telehealth, making care accessible wherever you are in Massachusetts. I prioritize clear communication and collaboration- you'll always understand your treatment plan and have a voice in shaping it. My goal is not just symptom relief, but lasting improvement in how you feel and function day to day.
