Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I believe therapy is one of the few places where you can be fully honest without fear of judgment. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, blending genuine curiosity with clinical insight. Rather than simply offering advice, I help clients understand the deeper patterns influencing their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices. Together, we explore both the "why" behind your experiences and the practical steps needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, challenged, and supported as you build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

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.

Cara Marolda
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Everyone experiences distressing or overwhelming challenges at different points in life. Many people struggle to manage these inevitable difficulties, get stuck and then subsequently feel defined by their emotional pain. This can negatively impact relationships, ambitions, work and self-worth. I believe in people’s inherent right to live meaningful and joyful lives and in their ability to choose how to respond to life’s challenges. I support my clients through their courageous process of self-exploration and self-compassion.

Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, or simply feeling lost. Many of us feel pressured to constantly strive for happiness, yet still end up feeling overwhelmed and not enough. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your true self and your own needs, free from external expectations. My approach is warm, holistic, and collaborative. We'll work together to understand your concerns, build self-awareness, break old patterns, and heal from the past. Drawing on an understanding of cultural and life experiences, I help clients regain control, confidence, and hope for the future.

Evolve Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we are struggling with our mental health, we often struggle in silence. This can be isolating and disconnect us from others. It can be really hard to seek support from people in our life and professionals because we feel anxiety, shame, or fear judgment, invalidation or rejection. Therapy provides the opportunity to step into your vulnerability at a pace that feels safe for you. Unlike other relationships, a therapeutic relationship is rooted in nonjudgment, unconditional acceptance, safety and confidentiality. I prioritize creating a safe space for you to feel heard and supported. I value your vulnerability and individuality. There is no one size fits all approach to therapy making every therapeutic experience uniquely different. My goal is to walk alongside you, explore what you are going through, and help you develop effective tools/insight so that you can live a full, authentic life.

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.

Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Living with an eating disorder can feel like a full-time job you never applied for. If you’re feeling exhausted by the cycle of shame and the constant disconnect from your own body, you aren't alone. Many of my clients arrive feeling as though their thoughts about food have entirely eclipsed their personality and passions.
It’s time to move past the isolation. Together, we can work toward a life where you feel grounded, emotionally resilient, and back in the driver’s seat. You deserve a therapeutic space where your struggle is met with deep understanding rather than judgment. If you’re ready to reclaim your life and reconnect with the person you were meant to be, I’m here to help.
You don’t have to manage this burden in isolation. If you’re ready to explore a life defined by freedom rather than food, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation via my website. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward wellness.
