I'm a Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over ten years of experience supporting children, teens, and families across community health and pediatric hospital settings. Much of my work has centered on adolescents, youth involved in the justice system, families navigating multiple systems of care, perinatal mental health, and end-of-life work. I also hold a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). Beyond direct clinical work, I've led program development and evaluation for initiatives serving LGBTQIA2S+ communities and Latinx and Indigenous youth. Before becoming a social worker, I worked as an Intervention Specialist, supporting middle and high school students with learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and significant mental health needs. Across all of this, one belief stays constant: you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with respect, curiosity, and genuine care.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while developing practical tools for growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices such as CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply looking to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to support you in moving toward healing and balance.

You might look like you have it together—but inside, your mind doesn’t slow down. You overthink conversations, second-guess decisions, and feel constant pressure to stay “on” at school, work, or in relationships. When things finally get quiet, your brain doesn’t—it gets louder. I work with adolescents and young adults who are tired of feeling stuck in that cycle. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted. They don’t just want to “talk about feelings”—they want real tools that actually help.

My name is J.J. Mull -- I'm a clinical social worker and therapist in private practice. I trained and Smith College School for Social Work and received advanced training in psychoanalytic treatment at Cambridge Health Alliance through Harvard Department of Psychiatry. Since finishing my training, I have worked in a wide range of settings with people struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, significant trauma, and many other issues. In addition to my clinical work, I am a writer, poet, and researcher and have been a professor in the Masters in Social Work program at Smith College for 4 years.

Hello!

I proudly bring lived experience to the table, so I know a different life than comes in textbooks. It increases my odds of understanding you better and of being able to develop unique strategies for you in a shorter amount of time. I've wanted to work in mental health since I was a child, and bring that enthusiasm to my work. Hope to see you soon.

Hello,

My name is Emily Kronhaus, I am a cisgender female and my pronouns are she/her/hers and they/them/theirs. I have worked in education and counseling for over a decade, and I've come to believe that therapy isn't just about managing symptoms. Therapy is also about understanding yourself, your relationships, and the world you're navigating.

Maybe you're doing pretty well on paper, but something still doesn't feel quite right. Your career may be going well (or not), but your relationships don't feel as fulfilling as you'd hoped. You may be questions who you are, what you want, or whether the life you've built actually reflects the person you've become.

I work with people who are navigating questions of identity, fulfillment, relationships, and how to live more authentically within the systems and expectations around them. Sometimes that means figuring out what you actually want. Sometimes it means learning to make space for your own needs and voice. Other times it means understanding how your relationships, family, culture, work, or larger systems have shaped the way you see yourself.

Through out my career I have experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions relationship challenges, and questions of identity. My approach is collaborative, curious, and grounded in the belief that there isn't one "right" way to be a person or have a relationship.

Therapy doesn't have to be about fixing what's wrong with you. Sometimes it's about understanding yourself differently, questioning expectations that no longer fit, and learning how to build a life and relationship that feel more like your own.
