Laurel Shortell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with a diverse range of individual adults throughout Massachusetts, including those in relationships of all configurations, college students, those grieving pet loss, and technical professionals, drawing on my own background as a software engineer. I also maintain a focus on clients who are on the autism spectrum, including neurodivergent adults and relationships where one or more partners identify as being on the spectrum.

Brian Bermack
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My goal is to help motivated adults to identify what they want out of life, figure out what's getting in their way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I place high value on autonomy and seek to help clients increase their own sense of agency- the feeling that they have the power to make their own decisions and the resources to act on those decisions. My background and perspective can be particularly useful when working with clients who are highly intelligent, who are oriented towards engineering, science, technology, or who think of themselves as introverted, shy, and/or socially awkward.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Some might describe me as mature or wise. I have a colorful history full of life experiences and I have the ability to connect with people on their level, whatever their experiences may be. I love to empower people, especially women. I know life can be overwhelming, and I have techniques to help people create and utilize coping skills that will work for them. Some people just need to be heard, and I am an excellent listener.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
We are an open and affirming group of therapy providers offering counseling sessions to clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. We are a group of providers passionate about working with individuals who want to create their life worth living.
A specialty of our group is working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, either around sexual and gender identity questions directly or around other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, that are informed by sexual and gender identity. We work with many individuals who are gender non-conforming, transgender, or gender queer, as well as their families. We make no assumptions about your or your child's gender when you come to our practice, but rather our goal is to listen and help you navigate how best to move forward either individually or as a family. Part of our work also encompasses queer relationship counseling, as well as non-traditional relationships, such as open and polyamorous relationships.
Another primary speciality area of ours is offering evidenced based treatment, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for emotion and behavior regulation. Clients come to us struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, attention and organization difficulties, and/or self injury. We provide practice tools, skills and techniques to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors more effectively. We are focused on providing effective care for anyone who wants to make change in their life and reduce suffering.

Glenn Klein
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I approach each client with the assumption that you are coming to me with an intention to alleviate discontentment or suffering. I see my job as helping you articulate your reasons for seeking therapy, to understand the source of your issues, and to find strategies that bring relief.
