Psychodynamic Therapy
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.

Kristy Harrington
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My approach to therapy is relational, grounded and not overly clinical or directive. I approach our sessions with curiosity and relatability. I will help you gain a solid understanding of the root of your problems, to develop realistic expectations of yourself and others, and to ultimately be kinder and less harsh towards yourself. With greater self-awareness, you will have a greater capacity to decide what in your life needs to change and what may require gentle acceptance.

Monique Bellefleur
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, PMH-C
I help my clients feel better about their bodies, their brains, and themselves. I offer my clients a non-judgmental space to be heard and understood. 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. As an eating disorder and perinatal mental health counselor, I offer specialized support to clients navigating eating disorder recovery, pregnancy, and parenthood.

Pinar Kaiser
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy is most effective when it’s grounded in trust, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic relationship. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns at a pace that feels right. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration in the therapy process, and I work to meet clients where they are rather than where they feel they “should” be. While therapy is a space for support and understanding, I also believe in thoughtfully and gently challenging clients when helpful, encouraging reflection, growth, and new perspectives that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
I help my clients feel better about themselves and deal more effectively with the people in their lives. Do you sometimes wonder how to get your partner or children to understand you? Are you feeling frustrated and don't know who to talk with? Do you want to increase your effectiveness with others?
It is so very important to be known and understood by the people that you care about the most. Your relationships have the potential to be a place where you can bring more joy and happiness into your life. My approach to therapy is to facilitate successful communication and cooperation resulting in increased closeness and affection. Our work together can help you learn about the patterns of relating to each other, where you get stuck, how to better understand each other and how to resolve your differences respectfully. Once you understand and learn effective strategies and develop key skills, you have the capacity to create a close loving relationship no matter what your past history or current situation.
Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, illness, infertility, infidelity, isolation, loneliness, and low self- esteem can contribute to personal and relationship problems.
-If you and your partner argue and fight more than you'd like to...
-If you are in an "OK" relationship but you secretly long for more...
-If you would like help resolving a current challenge or long standing difficulties, I welcome your call or email and I would like to hear your story.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I draw on mind-body approaches and other evidence-based therapies to help people navigate anxiety, stress, stress related health challenges, life transitions, depression, grief, relationship issues, and times of feeling stuck. Over more than three decades in practice, I’ve witnessed the profound capacity we each have to heal and grow through therapy. I view this work as a collaborative process—one grounded in safety, trust, and genuine connection—where together we can explore how to help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and fulfillment. When the mind, body, and heart come into alignment, new possibilities for living fully begin to emerge.

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.
