Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning to continue the work you started, something brought you to this search today. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, even if it isn't your first time. I believe that the foundation of counseling is the therapeutic relationship created between the therapist and client: we are creating a team, and that requires trust, transparency, and feeling safe. It will be my goal to meet you where you're at and work at your pace, while also pushing you to meet the goals you outline for your treatment. I understand that whatever has brought you here is deeply personal and sensitive, and I vow to treat our counseling space with honor and respect. Feel free to reach out to me through email or phone call and we can set up a time to have a free consultation to see if we would be a good match to work together.

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
As a clinical psychologist extensively trained in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital’s Institute (OCDI), I specialize in helping adults break free from overwhelming cycles of anxiety, avoidance, and compulsions.
From our very first sessions, we will thoroughly map out your specific challenges and build a individualized, actionable roadmap using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT. By utilizing secure teletherapy, we can do live, real-world exposures directly where your triggers occur—leading to a significant reduction in symptoms and lasting improvements in your daily well-being.
I am deeply passionate about providing culturally responsive, affirmative care. I strive to build a collaborative, secure space that honors individuals from all diverse sociocultural identities and backgrounds.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.
