As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.

Hi, I'm Rachel — and if your child is struggling, you're in exactly the right place.

I know how hard it is to watch your loved one deal with anxiety, sadness, or stress and not know how to help. That's where I come in. I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with young children — from preschool all the way through preteen — and helping them build the kind of skills that actually make a difference in their everyday lives.

My background is rooted in schools. I've been a school social worker in Norwell, Plymouth, and Sandwich, which means I understand the world your child is living in — the classroom pressures, the social dynamics, the moments that feel too big to handle alone. I bring that real-world context into every session.

I have both a Masters in Social Work and a Doctorate in Human Sexuality and have been practicing as a therapist for 10 years. The past four years I have been studying Bowen Family Systems theory. I find the combination of Bowen Theory with sex positivity greatly beneficial.

Life can be unpredictable—and sometimes overwhelming. Whether you’re adjusting to a major life change, navigating the challenges of parenting, or feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling and find your footing again. With over 13 years of experience, I work with adults and adolescents to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and help you build tools to move forward.

I bring both my personal recovery experience and professional training to my work in alcohol and drug counseling, backed by a Master’s in Education in Psychological Studies and licensure as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people through the ups and downs of addiction and mental health challenges, and I’m committed to supporting each person’s unique path to healing.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. My clinical experience spans large higher education and healthcare systems, and I currently maintain a small private practice.

I work with clients across the lifespan on a wide range of concerns, including:

Depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout

• Life transitions, grief, and trauma
  • Self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and relationship challenges
• Workplace, family, college, healthcare, and graduate medical trainee mental health
• Caregiver stress related to eldercare
• Cultural, identity, and adjustment-related concerns

My therapeutic approach centers on humility, respect, curiosity, and a strength-based lens for all clients.

I have over twenty years of experience with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and parenting, among other issues. In particular, I have worked with loneliness, burnout, social anxiety, and self esteem.

My education is from Binghamton University, Boston College, and Northeastern University. Fully licensed in NY and MA, I have additional specialized training in trauma informed care, DBT, grief, and anxiety.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, supported, and empowered. I work collaboratively with clients to identify practical solutions, build on their strengths, and develop the tools needed to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to challenge themselves, explore new perspectives, and actively engage in the therapeutic process. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or other personal struggles, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where lasting growth and healing can take place.

I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will explore your challenges, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. I strive to provide unconditional positive regard and support you at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering.

My name is Kristen Buckley. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My practice focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, using a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and goals.
