The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Depression can look different in women than it does in textbooks. It often shows up as numbness, irritability, disconnection, or the quiet sense that you're going through the motions without really being present. We offer compassionate, individualized support for women experiencing depression at any life stage, whether it's tied to hormonal shifts, relationship strain, loss, burnout, or something harder to name. You don't have to just push through. Relief is possible.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Depression affects both the mind and body. It can manifest in many ways e.g. feeling sad, irritable, hopeless, withdrawn, unmotivated, difficulty with sleep (either trouble falling or staying asleep or excessive sleep), appetite changes, etc. It is my hope we can work together to help alleviate your symptoms and improve the quality of your life.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Depression can make life feel like it is moving in slow motion, draining your energy, rewriting your self-worth, and wrapping your days in a heavy layer of exhaustion or numbness. I partner with individuals to help them gently break through this fog and reconnect with a sense of vitality and purpose. My approach balances immediate relief with long-term healing. We utilize practical CBT and DBT tools to build manageable daily routines, challenge dark or intrusive thought patterns, and spark small moments of behavioral activation. Simultaneously, we use advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), to heal the deeper wounds, past hurts, or protective parts of you that may be keeping you stuck in a state of emotional shutdown. Recovery isn't about forcing yourself to "snap out of it"—it's about building a safe space to process the pain and step back into a life that feels genuinely hopeful and vibrant.

Pinar Kaiser
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I support clients in exploring the thoughts, emotions, and life circumstances that contribute to feelings of sadness, low energy, or hopelessness. Using a collaborative approach, I combine cognitive-behavioral and relational strategies, gently challenging unhelpful patterns while helping clients build insight, coping skills, and a greater sense of connection and purpose.

Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Having a hopeless or helpless outlook on your life is the most common symptom of depression. Other feelings may be worthlessness, self-hate, or inappropriate guilt. Common, recurring thoughts of depression may be vocalized as, “It's all my fault,” or “What's the point?”

Laura Rinaldi
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I work with individuals to better understand their depression, identify contributing factors, and find ways to feel more connected and motivated in daily life. If needed, I can provide a referral to a licensed provider who can evaluate and prescribe medication.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Over the years, I’ve seen many people move from feeling stuck, depleted, or hopeless to rediscovering energy, purpose, and a renewed sense of connection with life. While being depressed can feel like being trapped in a deep hole, therapy can serve as the ladder—together, we climb it step by step, helping you find your way back to a fuller, more vibrant life. Time and again, I’ve witnessed the power of momentum: how small, consistent steps can build upon each other to create profound and lasting change. Sometimes all it takes is the courage to take that first step.

Boston Evening Therapy Associates
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LICSW, LMHC, LCSW
Depression like anxiety presents in many ways across a spectrum from severe to mild but in any form, it is a burden and a concern that is important to address. It can blunt or obscure much or all of the joy of being alive. It is not only a primary cause of suicide in the extreme but even in mild form can cast a pall over the perceived worth and relevance of one's life. In short, the psychic and emotional suffering of depression is vital to address whenever possible and we are prepared, skilled and eager to help you to do so.

Worcester is one of New England's most diverse cities and home to a cluster of colleges and universities — including Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Chan Medical School — that together generate significant student mental health demand and a well-developed clinical training ecosystem. The city's large Latino, Vietnamese, and African American populations create consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists, and Worcester has been an important destination for refugee resettlement from Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. UMass Memorial Medical Center provides major institutional mental health resources, while the city's university ecosystem supplies important clinical training. Worcester's working-class character and lower cost of living relative to Boston make private therapy more financially accessible, though therapist density remains lower than in the Boston metro.
