Newton Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Paul Sawyer

I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-35) who are experiencing mental health, substance use, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). Drawing from various theories in understanding the roots of suffering and discontentment, I take a non-judgmental, curious, compassionate approach to guiding you to a place of healing and wellness.

Ann Wheeler

*As of 7/2022 I am running a waitlist for therapy, but have limited space for parent consultation.* The children and teens I work with may be struggling with worry about friendships and family relationships, challenges with big emotions, doubts about their worth or appearance, academic difficulties, navigating grief and loss, or just adjusting to the realities of living through a pandemic. I support children and teens in navigating these and many other challenging realities of growing up.

Christina Hampton

The majority of my clients are young adults (ages 18-40) in the LGBTQ+ community. Most of my clients are trauma survivors. I have advanced training and experience in trauma-informed approaches, including internal family systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic (body-based) techniques, Phoenix Rising yoga therapy, and mindfulness.

Erica Donahue

Generally, I hope to support those who are searching to enrich their relationships and lives with more meaning and purpose. I hope to co-create a healing space with you; one that is individualized, helpful, and most meaningful to what you are specifically hoping to work towards together.

Caitlin Dale

My area of expertise is working with children ages 13 and up. I have assisted individuals with a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions and those who have experienced trauma. I have a true love of helping people work through their life transitions, exploring experiences and events from the past, and whatever stressors may be occurring in one’s current lives. I work with clients to identify your goals and achieve overall mental health and wellness.

Ariel Shapiro

My clients, like you and your family, are unique. Some have a lack of a sense of belonging, some feel disconnected in school or from their joy, some are experiencing grief and loss or trauma. We don't live alone, we live in systems, in families, and in environments. Folks I work with tend to be in different places in their lives, with a common desire to learn more, and perhaps some creativity to remember their own strengths and powers, in connection to the challenges and resources around them.

Jennifer Schneider

I provide short-term (5-10 sessions) EMDR therapy for trauma-related conditions. I work with indivudual adults, 18 and older. My clients generally are seeing a primary therapist, and see me for adjunct, short-term EMDR therapy for specific trauma treatment.

Out at Home The Home for Little Wanderers

Out at Home serves LGBTQ+ identified individuals and their families.

Danielle Pinals

I empower creative young adults to overcome stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. Together, we can help you manage distressing emotions, improve your relationships, and empower you to pursue a meaningful, creative life. Currently accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Ashley O'Dell

M. Chandler Cook

I have experience working with a variety of people from different backgrounds who have faced anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and other mental health struggles in their life. I am also passionate about having an affirming and informed practice for LGBTQIA+ identities of all ages in addition to working with couples (heterosexual, same-sex, and queer couples).

Margaret Fasolo

Members of LGBTQ community who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction, gender-identity and trauma.

Juan B. Faraoni III

To me, an ideal client is someone who is willing to come to sessions and talk freely about whatever they would like. (I know, that can be harder than it sounds.) I enjoy working with people of any background and life experience. I believe that the only way that I can become a truly accepting clinician is to have a willingness to work with all who reach out for help regardless of how they identify or their life experience.

Jessie Roffe

I help adults who are overwhelmed, frustrated, or confused by panic, anxiety, stress, burnout, physical symptoms, and/or dissociation. Let's work on reconnecting with a deep sense of safety, well-being, and joy. I focus primarily on the LGBTQIA+ community and people that are healing from abuse, including those exploring gender, a/sexuality, relationship structures, disability, spirituality, neurodiversity, and otherwise celebrating our true selves!

Sydney Schafer

Therapy can- and should- be tailored to your (or your child's) styles of communication and expression. Maybe this means you'd like a lot of structure during sessions- using worksheets to track and review anxious thought patterns. It could mean that you'd prefer open-ended sessions to explore deeper themes that've started popping up in your life. Or perhaps you're looking for a safe space to talk about a difficult experience that you just don't want to talk about with with friends or family.

Jessica Foley

My clients are strong & successful women (and those that identify as women) that are seeking growth and change in their lives. Often they are moving through a live transition and seeking support. Some of my clients are managing chronic anxiety and depression, and some of them are healing from past traumas. All of my clients have a willingness to bring their whole selves to therapy!

Shelby Dwyer

I specialize in supporting adults with anxiety (some of whom may self-identify as perfectionists) and LGBTQIA+ Millennials. You may feel eager to make changes in your life and not know where to start, want to explore complex layers of your identities, or seek ways to better navigate relationships. We'll work together to boost your strengths and shift perspectives so you can engage in life with a more grounded sense of self.

Han Bertrand

Do you find it difficult to relax or feel you are enough? Are you worried that things would fall apart or you would lose control? Have you been dealing with relationship issues with your parents or others? Do you often feel empty, lost, or lonely? Are you trying to find ways to feel secure and hopeful again? Are you afraid of making mistakes, letting people down, or being rejected? Is it easy for you to say no or ask for what you need? Do you often doubt or criticize yourself?

Jen Brown

I have experience and passion in working with LGBTQIA+ adults, chronically ill and disabled folks, neurodivergent (ND) individuals, college mental health (college and graduate students), and trauma survivors. I love working with creatives/artists/makers and people navigating the intersections of multiple identities - race, gender, sexuality, etc. My clients are often used to living on the margins, and my hope is that in our work together, your voice will be valued and centered.

Sarah Logsdon

Many of us are facing overwhelming changes right now and are looking for a place to sort through it all. You may seek to deepen insight, heal, and make meaning of your challenges. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, a major life transition, or difficulties in your relationships. You may also have lived with trauma or chronic illness and wish to have a space that's safe and free of judgment in order to process your experiences and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and understanding.
