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.

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.

I use a gentle, compassionate approach, which allows my clients to develop the skills to be gentle with themselves. All bodies, all genders, and all races are welcome in my practice.

Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
I specialize in working with high-achieving adults (18+) who are outwardly thriving, but carry the invisible wounds of narcisstic abuse, complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s loving, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing.
You are not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.
