Upstream Mental Health
Psychologist, Ph.D., PsyD, LMHC, LCAT-LP
We’re firm believers 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 we take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. We take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. We also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. Our 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.
We 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, we take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
We 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.

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you are overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference.
I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and respect for my clients, I hope to create a warm place for you to accept yourself for exactly who you are right now, and then find ways to change your life that makes it more reflective of your best self.

Maryellen Newman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
In our work together I would take a blended therapeutic approach and individualize treatment based on your personal needs, strengths, and goals. My professional journey is deeply rooted in a commitment to fostering healing and resilience in the lives of individuals facing emotional challenges. I have worked for over 15 years with children, adolescents, teens, and adults who feel overwhelmed with worry, stress, and trauma. Their progress and bravery has inspired me to narrow my focus to deliver the highest quality care with empathy and thoughtfulness. My focus has been dialectical behavior therapy, treating anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, helping clients find a life worth living beyond their depression, combining behavioral interventions with cognitive strategies, and helping clients take control of their lives by actively making changes. Our past experiences contribute to who we are today but do not have to control our future.
