Nora Wolff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR). She provides individual psychotherapy to adults in a safe, compassionate, and supportive space. She takes a person-centered approach and integrates cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and acceptance-based strategies alongside expressive and art-based therapy techniques to support insight, resilience, and meaningful personal growth. Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and women's issues. She also works with neurodiverse individuals and supports clients exploring gender identity and sexuality. She welcomes clients seeking meaningful, long-term therapeutic relationships, as well as those looking to deepen insight and purpose in their day-to-day lives. Nora earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Art Therapy from Lesley University and her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

She is available to see clients Monday through Thursday in the afternoon and evening, and Friday in the morning and early afternoon.

As a South Asian, queer, and neurodiverse individual, my intersecting identities have deeply informed my therapeutic practice. I understand the complexities of growing up in an Asian American household while navigating additional layers of identity like gender, sexuality, and disability. These personal experiences and my background in social work and psychology have enabled me to empathize with those who share similar identities and have felt unheard, often caught between different aspects of who they are and who they want to be. In other words, I see you and I hear you. I believe that you know yourself best. Your decision to seek services already demonstrates a strong desire for change. As a clinician, I view my role not as someone who "fixes", but as a supportive guide on your journey. My approach is rooted in compassion, providing tools, and gentle direction, as I firmly believe in your capacity for transformation. I aim to create both a safe environment to reflect on experiences and a brave space that encourages personal growth.I draw from liberatory and anti-racist approaches because I believe it is equally important to situate ourselves within the broader systems that shape our experiences. I also recognize the power of creativity in healing, and can incorporate art and narrative therapy to help you retell your story in a way that best resonates with you. Given my background and clinician aspirations, I am particularly passionate about working with South Asian/BIPOC individuals and those from other varied backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse people. I look forward to being a part of your journey!

I believe in a client-centered therapeutic approach that is collaborative and strengths-based. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable being your most authentic self. My goal is to work alongside you, building on your strengths to navigate any challenges you may be facing. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Psychology and Human Development and a Master's in Social Work, both from Boston College. Much of my experience comes from my work in the Boston Public Schools System where I supported students experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as those navigating change, difficult life transitions, and interpersonal conflict. I also have experience in the humanitarian sector, supporting mental health and psychosocial well-being in diverse settings. In therapy, I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, and more. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach; together we will discover the strategies and skills that work best for you. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, spending time with friends and family, and being outdoors whenever I can. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments!

Hi, I’m Sara (she/her). My approach to therapy is warm, honest, curious, non-judgmental, and above all, relational. My primary focus is on co-creating an authentic therapeutic relationship where you experience the safety, empathy, and trust which make room for experimenting with new ways of thinking and being. I believe there is no one “right” way to engage in therapy, just as there is no one “right” way to live a life. Sometimes we need to deeply understand (and mourn) the past, sometimes we need practical tools for navigating a challenging present, and sometimes we simply need space to be witnessed without having to hold it all together. I am interested in working with clients across the lifespan and with a variety of presenting concerns. Our work might range from open-ended “talk therapy” to more structured interventions depending on what works best for you. You certainly don’t need to come in knowing exactly what you need out of therapy, either: we can figure it all out together! My work is integrative, drawing from a variety of theoretical orientations including trauma- and complex trauma-informed, attachment-informed, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral. I have clinical interest and prior experience in working with complex trauma survivors as well as with adult women with lived experience in the commercial sex trade, including trafficking and exploitation. In addition to counseling, I am a member of the Human Trafficking Research Hub at William James College, where I contribute to research on the psychological consequences of sex trafficking. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Holistic Studies specialization from Lesley University and a B.A. in English and Creative Writing from Wellesley College (Go Blue!). Whether or not we end up working together, I hope the right help finds you, and that whatever you’re holding grows lighter to carry.

As a master’s candidate in Expressive Arts Therapy at Lesley University, I understand and encourage everyone’s natural capabilities of imagination, creativity, and play. In my practice, I believe in using the arts (music, visual, narrative, and more) to connect with and explore our internal world, providing an outlet for expression in handling difficult emotions, stress, interpersonal relationships, grief and other life circumstances. ​ My approach is strength-based, culturally informed and trauma-sensitive. I offer a safe space to explore personal narratives through a judgment-free and affirmative lens, considering systemic barriers and oppressive structures that affect a person’s overall well-being. ​ I identify as LGBQTIA+ and am mindful of the stigma and challenges faced by marginalized communities. ​ I also have years of experience working with neurodiverse populations in individual and group settings. ​

I practice individual psychotherapy and enjoy most working with college-aged patients although I care for adults of all ages. As a therapist, I practice mainly using a psychodynamic approach and also do incorporate CBT and DBT, as well as using mind-body therapies which include MBSR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I believe in the importance of treating the body as well as the mind. I am also a practicing yoga instructor and have trained as a Pilates instructor and studied Reiki and nutrition.

I think it is extremely courageous to admit we need help. I believe one of the most important criteria for successful treatment is to have a trusting, open, "therapeutic rapport" with a client. Without trust and a good connection, the therapeutic process cannot begin. With that in mind, I believe the first step is creating an environment safe from judgement and rich in support. My focus is to enable clients to acquire insight, skills, and motivation for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transitions.I specialize in older adolescent and adult individual therapy as well as family and couples counseling. I assist clients in developing healthier coping and inter-personal skills that address topics related to: assertiveness, anger management, parenting strategies, managing mood disorders (anxiety and depression), impulse control, PTSD (EMDR), life transitions, grief, conflict resolution, mindfulness, sexuality, and stress management. I am a big proponent in assisting clients built self-confidence. I also have a degree in Accounting as well that I use with individuals and couples around money management, budgeting, savings, and retirement planning. I also have experience as a business consultant for individuals.

Priti Patel, M.A. (she/her), is a mental health clinician, holding dual bachelor’s degrees in psychology and Neuroscience from Regis College, and her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College. Priti’s integrative therapeutic style is composed of attachment-focused, behavioral, and neuroscience-informed modalities as shown below. Attachment-focused therapies: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Psychodynamic Therapy Behavioral therapies: Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Neuroscience-informed therapies: Neuro-education and Somatic Therapy Priti's Approach to care: Priti embodies a preventive and collaborative approach to care, prioritizing early intervention, prevention, and longevity. She works closely with her clients while actively partnering with primary care providers, psychiatrists, gynecologists, dietitians, and school counselors to ensure thoughtful, comprehensive care across all aspects of health. Priti integrates her expertise in neuroscience with a compassionate, evidence-informed approach to psychotherapy. She recognizes that trauma affects not only relationships and attachment patterns, but also neurobiology, psychiatric symptoms, and medical health. This perspective informs her treatment approach, including careful consideration of medication management, and the mind–body connection. She is committed to helping clients feel understood and supported, while facilitating more adaptive, connected, and meaningful lives. At the heart of Priti’s clinical work is a deep belief that healing occurs within safe, secure, and attuned relationships. Her counseling approach is warm, collaborative, and relational, rooted in fostering a sense of safety and acceptance. She views the therapeutic relationship as a central conduit for transformation and growth, meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they come home to themselves. Priti supports clients in reconnecting with their inner child, reclaiming their identities, and expanding their capacity to hold grief throughout life. The populations Priti Specializes in: Priti has experience providing outpatient and inpatient mental health services to adolescents, adults, and families. She works as both a generalist and as a women's mental health specialist. As a generalist, she specializes in the following diagnoses: anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders across all genders. As a women's mental health specialist, Priti supports both women and adolescent girls recovering from complex trauma, PMDD, anxiety and depression, eating disorders/body-image disturbances, infertility, and perinatal mental health. With extensive experience treating women diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, and related reproductive health concerns, Priti recognizes the powerful intersection between gynecological and mental health. With a specific focus on healthy female adolescent development, Priti helps adolescent girls cultivate emotional resilience and navigate gender specific challenges associated with female adolescence. Priti understands that adolescence can be a tender, and often overwhelming stage of life, marked by social pressures, identity exploration, and emotional intensity. She has particular experience supporting teen girls recovering from complex early childhood trauma, including the lasting effects of early parental substance abuse, grief, bullying, attachment disruptions, and other adverse childhood experiences. Through a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, Priti helps young women build self-understanding, strengthen coping skills, develop healthy relationships, and move toward healing and growth. Who is Priti Outside of the Therapy Room? When she's not working with clients, Priti enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her hobbies include exploring new coffee shops, strength training, cooking, traveling, and reading action, adventure, and high fantasy novels. From the age of eight, Priti was taught Garba, a traditional folk dance from Gujarat, India, by her mother. She is currently learning Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form originating from Tamil Nadu, India. For Priti, culture, tradition, food, movement, and storytelling are meaningful ways to stay connected to herself, her heritage, and her community. She finds joy in exploring life through dance, strength training, new culinary experiences, and the immersive worlds found in books.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and families through both school-based and clinical counseling settings. For several years, I have worked as a school adjustment counselor, helping students navigate academic stress, social challenges, emotional regulation, and mental health concerns. This role has allowed me to work closely with students, families, educators, and support staff to create practical strategies that help young people succeed both in and outside of the classroom. In addition to my work in schools, I have clinical experience providing individual therapy in outpatient mental health settings, supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, and strengths-based counseling. I also bring a unique perspective through my experience coaching high school athletics, where I have seen firsthand the pressures that young athletes face—balancing performance expectations, academics, identity development, and social dynamics. This experience has shaped my passion for helping athletes develop mental resilience, confidence, and healthy coping skills. At the same time, my practice is open to any individual seeking support, whether they are navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or major life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive, practical, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients can develop the tools they need to move forward with confidence.
