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.

Kelly Reed

Whether it’s manifesting as anxiety, depression, or issues in relationship with self, your body, or other people, traumas and stressors in the past and present can disconnect us from our ability to access joy, connection, purpose, and pleasure. I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I will collaborate with you to create a safe, strong relationship where you can process the complexity of your experiences, thoughts, and emotions.

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

I work with clients who come from many different backgrounds, and who have a wide variety of needs. I offer supports for children, teens or adults- for individuals, couples and/or families. I specialize in working with therapists/caregivers, LGBTQIA+ folx, those looking for a deeper exploration of thoughts and feelings, & those on a spiritual path of healing. I am a best clinical fit for those seeking to enrich their relationships and lives. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists.

Claudia Dupre

I enjoy working with folks who have relationship issues, family or workplace stress or are having trouble adjusting to or dealing with life’s challenges and circumstances. I had also done a lot of work with people who are substance users and in early recovery. I am comfortable with men, women and non-binary folks, 18+ through seniors.

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.

Kaley Moore

I have clinical skill supporting clients for whom anxiety, chronic stress, depression, and developmental disabilities are areas of concern. I enjoy treating clients with physical or medical complaints using psychotherapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, acceptance, and health behavior change. I also welcome clients who wish to address disordered eating, body image, or diet-related concerns in therapy.

Ashley O'Dell

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

Please reach out to be added to the waitlist. 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.

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).

Bryan Harnsberger

My job is to help individuals and families navigate complex living situations. I do so by creating a safe place for individuals to explore their inner thoughts and actions, and guide them to better understand their roles and opportunities in the world. I specialize in working with the adolescent, college-aged and adult populations, and the challenges that come from it, particularly anxiety, academic stress, adjustment issues, relationship issues, depression and ADHD.

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.

Ashley Howard

My ideal client is motivated, even when they feel stuck. They understand therapy is hard work, sometimes painful before they feel relief. I appreciate when I work with kids and incorporate their parents because it is a team effort, the parents work hard like their child is. I enjoy complex traumas from all ages and 3-6 year old most

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.
