The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't always come with a funeral. Women carry many kinds of loss: miscarriage, infertility, the death of a loved one, the loss of identity, relationships, or the life they imagined. We offer a compassionate space to grieve fully and without apology, to make meaning at your own pace, and to find a way forward that honors what was lost. You don't have to minimize your pain here. All of it is welcome.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Grief and loss are profoundly personal, yet the world often pressures you to "just get over it." In reality, grief has no set timeline and is experienced differently by everyone. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where your unique process is honored, witnessed, and gently navigated at your own pace.
Together, we will untangle the complexities of your loss—validating your reality against the weight of both outside and internal expectations. Our goal is to move through the heaviness toward a place of healing, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of genuine ease.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Loss and grief can be all encompassing. Grief does not have a timeline or any particular presentation. It can manifest as deep sadness, physical pain, anger, loss of interest in previous activities, etc. It is my hope that we can work together and I can compassionately support you in your grieving journey.

Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Grieving is a highly individual experience; there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and how significant the loss was to you.
Inevitably, the grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can’t be forced or hurried—and there is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people come to me after a loss feeling as though something is wrong with them for grieving the way they do. Grief can be overwhelming, and it can take time to find your footing—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. There’s no single or “right” way to grieve; the process is deeply individual. What I’ve seen time and again is that when we make space for our feelings and meet them with compassion, those parts of us begin to feel seen and heard. In that space, healing becomes possible, pain softens, and a greater sense of ease can begin to emerge.

Linda Marks
Counselor/Therapist, MSM
Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing

Michael Young
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Mdiv, CRW
Sooner or later, we all experience loss or grief. My four years as a hospice chaplain taught me how to support patients and their families. Loss is not limited to death, but also to divorce or job loss. Not only is there a void to be addressed, but feelings of guilt and responsibility.

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.
