Introduction

Recovery, chronic illness, career changes, aging, or another major life transition can affect your confidence, relationships, daily routines, and sense of direction. At Leek Therapy, I work with adults and older adults navigating substance-use recovery, trauma and PTSD, chronic health concerns, stress, career decisions, and significant changes in their lives. My approach is person-centred, practical, and collaborative. I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you understand patterns, identify realistic goals, and build on the abilities and resources you already have. For clients in recovery, our work may also include rebuilding relationships, re-establishing employment or housing, strengthening community support, and developing strategies for maintaining stability. I believe people need to feel heard before meaningful change can happen. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in making choices that feel constructive and sustainable. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I offer secure telehealth through Leek Therapy to clients throughout Massachusetts and am currently accepting new clients, including evening and weekend appointments.
