About Us

Hi, my name is  Nancy~  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years. My years of work will tell you that I am where I should be, a social worker, and for that I'm very fortunate . Working with people of all ages, backgrounds, genders and struggles provides me with the opportunity to support each person to achieve their own goals and purpose to live their best life.  I worked for many years in a public school setting and was able to transition to an individual practice where I feel I have been best suited  to work in the past several years.  It has offered me the ability to connect with people in a more personal way, either virtually or in-person.  The virtual world has become almost common stance for many, and to my surprise it has not impacted the ability to interact and foster those connections.  Based on pandemic living, we have all seen a rise in anxiety which has triggered  depression, traumas, family issues and couple relationships.  Additionally, it has affected the ability to move forward personally, socially and professionally.  This is where my focus and purpose lie; working with people to recognize and utilize a strength, a passion and a means to communicate to achieve personal goals.  Traditionally, I utilize  CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as Solution Focused Therapy,  and trauma based treatment modalities with some very practical hands-on activities and exercises where appropriate.   I try to practice what I preach, and to that end being outdoors and active, to an extent, is what I enjoy.  Sit me on a beach, take a walk, a good book, that's my happy place.  And of course my dog, my own personal therapist!!

Hi, my name is Kerry.  I graduated from Providence College with a BA in Social Work and earned  my master’s degree at Salve Regina University in Health Services Administration and Mental Health and Rehabilitative Counseling.  I am nationally certified as a rehabilitative counselor. I have more than twenty years of experience including medical and geriatric case management, social work as well as individual, couple, and family counseling in a private practice. I specialize in helping children and adult clients in transition, experiencing anxiety, discouragement, loss, pain, disability, and progressive disease processes. I engage clients by teaching anxiety-reducing methods including breathing exercises, guided imagery, and meditation. I enjoy helping clients by working together to identify specific goals, then gradually meeting those goals. I use a combination of evidenced-based modalities including solution-focused, psycho-education, CBT, MI, and narrative therapy to meet client needs. In my free time you can find me hiking, kayaking and spending time with my family.

 Hi, my name is Kailey and I am a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed substance use counselor. I have had the privilege of
working in the mental health field for many years and have experience in providing individual and group therapy and clinical supervision.  Most recently, I served as the clinical director for an eating disorder treatment program. I have a passion for supporting young adults and women in living an embodied and authentic life. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and life transitions. I work with individuals who feel stuck and disconnected from who they really want to be. This may look like having difficulty expressing needs in a relationship, struggling with perfectionism, or experiencing feelings of emptiness, disappointment, or shame.  I use a compassionate and relational approach to provide a safe place for you to feel heard, validated, and understood. Holistically, we explore your underlying feelings and recurring patterns that are keeping you from achieving your deepest dreams and desires. In addition to using
evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I also draw from my background in the creative and expressive arts, psychodrama, and complementary alternative therapies, such as Reiki, to support positive and sustainable change. Coming from a place of curiosity, wisdom, and compassion, our work together helps you to discover and integrate a new way of being to help you feel empowered, build confidence, and step fully into your life. When I am not working, I love getting lost in a good book, being creative, and finding solitude in nature. 

 Hi, my name is Andrea~  I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist. I have ten years of experience in the mental health field as well as several years working as a special educator here in the state of Rhode Island. I enjoy working with individuals aged twelve through adulthood with a special focus on helping people develop resiliency and a greater sense of self when faced with life stressors and uncertainty. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma and substance use disorders. I primarily utilize CBT, DBT, as well as Motivational Interviewing to inform my practice and especially enjoy collaborating with individuals to find what works best for them. I also proudly support the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring all the beauty Rhode Island has to offer, and nourishing my soul with live music!  

  Hi, my name is Glenda~  I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor 

   I work with couples, adults and adolescents.   

Reaching out for help is often the most important step.  It can also be the most challenging step.  Good mental health is essential to live a happy and optimal life.  I believe in providing a safe and supportive space to allow clients to access their inner wisdom and intuition to guide them in their process to fulfillment.

I work from a holistic framework, blending mindfulness and current psychological research to address the whole person.  Every person is unique, so I develop personal treatment plans designed to address the individual’s needs using many different modalities.  

I encourage clients to embrace, learn from, and accept their thoughts and feelings while working to change undesirable behavior patterns, as opposed to trying to control, avoid, or feel guilty about painful emotions or past experiences. 

A huge benefit of therapy is that you are working through emotional issues as well as developing tools to help you deal with them in the future.

“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.”

-J. Kornfield

I look forward to working with you!

  Hi, my name is Kimberly. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Boston University with an MSW in 1982. I have worked in many different areas of mental health over the years, most recently in a hospital setting as a part of a multi disciplinary team.  I continue to enjoy helping individuals, couples and families by supporting and affirming change. I believe that for many, change can be quite challenging. However it is also empowering and can lead to improved communication and relationships.  I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression and grief. Parenting and relationship issues are also an area that I specialize in.  My goal is to provide a safe and accessible space and to join with my clients on their journey to wellness. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and learning new crafts that I find on YouTube. .
