Renée DuVerger, Psy.D.

Hello. My name is Renée. I have 20 years experience working with adults, teens and children who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, domestic violence or unexpected life events.
I utilize best practices, through the lens of a psychoanalytic framework and EMDR to help clients process and recover from traumatic experiences.
It is my belief that challenges in life can best be healed through therapeutic conversations.
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology, in San Diego, California, where my dissertation explored attachment theory and its relationship to self-esteem, confidence and personality development.

Anne McGuire,

Hello. My name is Anne. I am experienced in working with children (10+) to adults addressing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, identity and self-esteem struggles, difficult family dynamics, divorce, grief, and much more. I embrace neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia) and work from a neurodivergent informed lens. My approach is person-centered, non-judgmental and collaborative.

I would love to work with you to identify your strengths, make practical changes, and prepare you to be better equipped to tackle life's challenges and uncertainties.

I am currently providing Telehealth.


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.

Shelby Corsano

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Being a human in today's world is extremely hard, but as Danielle Doby wrote "none of this was meant to be done alone." Seeking help is among the most brave and important things we can do for ourselves. I specialize in helping young adults and adults navigate struggles related to trauma or PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, life transitions and women's issues. We all experience hardship at some point in our lives, but I am here to walk with you through it, so you don't have to do it alone.

I tend to use an eclectic approach that is often a mix of various techniques. However, I often draw on person-centered, trauma focused, feminist, and narrative techniques as I am passionate about helping my clients recognize they are so much more than their struggles, while also empowering them to feel in control of their own life. I am also trained in ART.

I am interested in getting to know you as a whole so we can identify not only how the world is impacting you, but how you want to impact the world.

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 Boss

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.  Not currently accepting new clients.

Nicole Caples

Pre-Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Hello! My name is Rachel and I am passionate about helping people feel empowered and safe in their journey towards healing   I have primarily worked with children and families in various levels of care including community-based work, inpatient hospitalization, and residential facilities. I have had the most experience working with those with environmental and systemic trauma. In the last five years my work has primarily focused in an outpatient setting working with both children and adults. I graduated from Northeastern University with a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2010. I am a licensed mental health counselor in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. My approach is collaborative and uses indivualized work to identify your unique needs, integrating modalities like expressive therapy, play therapy for children, mindfulness, and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using EMDR, I am also able to target the root cause of these emotions as well as focusing on attachment and development. With children I apply the same techniques and skill building while using a playful and experiential therapy approach which allows for non-verbal expression and learning. I believe in a holistic and whole-body approach to treating and supporting mental health. I look forward to working with you! 

Accepting Telehealth clients from MA and NH.
