Our team
Josephine Amato, LMHC
I have over ten years experience working with individuals as a therapist and four years practicing EMDR with individuals of all ages and walks of life. I strive to help empower clients to work with their own positive qualities, identify their strengths and make necessary changes. I believe that everyone has the potential to live happy and fulfilling lives. Our life experiences and stressors can make this feel extremely difficult. Seeking out help at these times can be helpful and is a very courageous step. I am currently offering EMDR in an intensive model.

Stephanie Karlson, LMHC
I am an LMHC and Creative Arts Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping people with problems related to depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Many of my clients find that through the creative process such a visual art, music and writing, they are able to reconnect with a more authentic part of themselves. This process can be particularly helpful for decreasing stress, anxiety, increasing self esteem, regulating mood, increasing focus and concentration, and enhancing communication skills. Ultimately, I am dedicated to providing a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance to encourage healthy change, and personal growth.
Shelby Corsano, MEd, LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has experience working with individuals of all ages. I have worked in various settings including schools, group homes, outpatient clinics, and in the home with families which has allowed me to gain an understanding of what individuals are experiencing at different stages of their lives. In my work with individuals I ask that you value authenticity, genuineness, and transparency, as I will do the same. I am passionate about making people feel seen, heard, and understood, as therapy is an intimate and vulnerable, yet powerful gift that I love getting to share with others.

Welcome! My name is Jennifer and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. I am a queer identified (she/her) cis individual and was born and raised in Montana. I got my masters degree at the University of Denver with a concentration in health and wellness. My goal is to provide therapy with skills developed from personal lived experience and an ongoing commitment to continued education in evolving evidence based practices in the mental health field. I would describe my approach to therapy as direct, solution focused, trauma informed and person centered. While simultaneously honoring the time, commitment, and space it takes to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I take pride in living a personal life that aligns with my professional values. I am passionate about working with following issues/populations: healthcare providers, those with chronic or life limiting illness, adoptees, individuals with religious trauma, those considering sobriety or tackling their relationship with substance use, and those facing or struggling with a major life transition. I work with adolescents(12+) and adults. I am incredibly passionate about my career and being a social worker has enriched my life to experience working with a broad range of issues in a multitude of settings - all of which I bring to my practice.

Juliette Anderson
Licensed Certified Social Worker
Hello! I am Juliette. I am accepting new clients via Remote or In-Person. My goal for my clients is to provide them with the skills and tools so that they may achieve the lifestyle that they want. Life is challenging and the pressure to strive for perfection is as strong as ever. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have a range of obstacles that they wish to overcome along with providing a restful environment to explore their abilities and potential. Treatment modalities: person-centered, CBT, and mindfulness training.
Through reflective questioning and thinking, open-ended questioning, and other counseling techniques, I allow the client to figure out what outcome they want and help them navigate how they wish to get there.
I invite those seeking guidance and assistance with their day to day lives, along with eventful impacts in their life to reach out for enhancing their tool box of skills so they may reach their personal goals.
Madelyn Omelchuck
Licensed Mental Health Clinician
Hi. I am Maddy. I love to work with individuals on symptoms of anxiety, depression and issues that come from big transitions such as moving away from home, going to college, ending a relationship ect! Individuals who want to work on strategies related to self esteem and personal growth are ideal!
I specialize in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, more commonly known as DBT. This modality is often effective in helping individuals ground themselves, feel more in control of difficult emotions, and helps people feel comfortable being uncomfortable!
If you feel that you want a healthier more balanced outlook on life then I would encourage you to reach out. We can work together on any topic you bring to the table!
Brandy Alweiss
Licensed Certified Social Worker
Hello, I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker who has had the joy and honor of helping others for the last ten years.
My lived experiences as a woman of color, a former foster child, and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community allows me to connect with others on topics of gender, sexuality, race, intersectionality and more as it relates to everyday life and its challenges.
My focus is on helping persons experiencing depression, anxiety, and adjustment to life stressors while working on improving communication skills, building boundaries, and strengthening relationships.
I utilize empathetic and active listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach that not only validates and supports but helps to educate and empower you to initiate and embrace the change you want.
I firmly believe that we all have the ability to live the life that we want. Therapy can help you to identify goals and learn strategies, coping mechanisms and interventions to achieve the mental wellness you desire and deserve.
Amber Samuels
Licensed Certified Social Worker
Finding a therapist who is “the right fit” in terms of logistics, personality, skillset, and accountability is not an easy process. Thank you for considering me to be part of your mental health treatment team. I am a licensed & insured social worker offering sessions to clients who can meet virtually within Massachusetts.
I have over 8 years of directly working with clients aged 16-70 from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in residential, community, and outpatient settings. I am a proud alumna of University of Central Florida and Framingham State University.
I place high value on normalizing the human experience and cultivating our therapeutic alliance throughout treatment. I draw from a combination of evidence-based strategies and lived experience to support clients who are motivated (or struggling with motivation) to work towards activating their fullest potential. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. Currently accepting Telehealth Clients.
