Supportive therapy for adults in Billerica, Lexington, and across Massachusetts

Sometimes, life gets overwhelming. You may find yourself feeling anxious, stuck, stressed, or simply uncertain about what’s next.

Our caring, experienced therapists work one-on-one with you to help you navigate whatever life brings—from anxiety and burnout to grief and major transitions. With in-person counseling available in Billerica and Lexington, MA, and telehealth sessions offered statewide, it’s easier than ever to get the support you need.

Why Adults Come to Individual Counseling

People seek therapy for many reasons. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from it. Many of our clients are high-functioning individuals who are simply looking for support, insight, or a fresh perspective. Others are navigating intense emotional pain or complex life events.

Common reasons adults begin individual counseling include:

  • Anxiety and Stress: From chronic worry and panic to work burnout and racing thoughts, therapy can help you regain calm and clarity.

  • Depression: If you’re feeling emotionally numb, low in energy, or disconnected, counseling can help you reconnect with yourself and find hope again.

  • Life Transitions: Whether you’re navigating a graduation, divorce, career change, empty nest, or retirement, transitions can stir up uncertainty, grief, and growth.

  • Grief and Loss: Loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a sense of identity deserves time, space, and support.

  • Relationship Challenges: Whether you're single, dating, partnered, or ending a relationship, therapy can help you clarify your needs, patterns, and priorities.

  • Trauma and PTSD: If past experiences are still impacting your present, trauma-informed counseling can help you process safely and gradually.

  • LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy: We provide inclusive, identity-affirming support in a space where you can be fully yourself and explore the issues that matter to you.

  • Burnout and Overwhelm: Many professionals come to therapy feeling exhausted or disengaged. Counseling offers a place to pause, reflect, and rebuild.

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. Reaching out now can help prevent small stressors from becoming bigger issues.

What to Expect in Therapy

When you begin therapy, your first few sessions are about building a connection. Your therapist will take time to get to know you—your story, what’s brought you in, and what you’d like to change or better understand.

Sessions are a safe space to speak openly, feel fully, and be supported by someone who’s professionally trained and personally invested in your well-being. There’s no need to prepare anything or say the “right” thing. Just come as you are.

Over time, your sessions might include:

  • Coping skill development

  • Exploring and reframing thought patterns

  • Grief processing

  • Decision-making support

  • Building emotional resilience

  • Trauma processing or grounding work

  • Exploring identity and life purpose

Your therapist will meet you where you are and adjust the approach to match your goals, comfort level, and pace.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our therapists draw from a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, tailored to your needs.

Some of the approaches available through our team include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A practical, skills-based approach to help shift patterns of negative thinking and manage symptoms of anxiety or depression.

  • Narrative Therapy: This method helps you examine and re-author the stories you carry about yourself and your life, making space for change and agency.

  • Brainspotting: A focused brain-body technique that supports the healing of trauma and emotional pain through targeted eye positioning.

  • Yoga-Informed Therapy: Integrates breathwork, mindfulness, and gentle movement to support emotional regulation and mind-body connection.

  • Reiki: A gentle, holistic technique that encourages relaxation and balance on an emotional and physical level—especially helpful when words aren’t enough.

  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or “tapping”): Combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with therapeutic dialogue to help release emotional blocks and reduce stress.

All of our therapists are deeply committed to providing thoughtful, personalized care. While each therapist has specialized training and experience, your healing process always centers on your unique needs, values, and comfort.
