#### 5 Ways to Manage Stress and Anxiety in Uncertain Times
For many in the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, the uncertainty caused by political changes can be overwhelming. The fear of policy shifts, discrimination, or threats to personal safety can take a toll on mental health. While we can’t always control what’s happening around us, we can control how we take care of ourselves.Here are five ways to manage stress and anxiety during these challenging times:1. Limit News Consumption & Social MediaStaying informed is important, but constant exposure to distressing news can increase anxiety. Set boundaries by limiting how often you check the news and social media. Instead, schedule specific times for updates and focus on reputable sources that provide clear, actionable information rather than fear-driven headlines.2. Prioritize Self-CareTaking care of yourself is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Make time for activities that help you recharge, whether it’s listening to music, reading, exercising, or simply taking deep breaths. Engage in small daily routines that bring comfort and remind you that you deserve peace.3. Connect with Supportive CommunitiesYou are not alone. Finding a community—whether online or in-person—can provide reassurance and strength. LGBTQ+ and immigrant support groups, advocacy organizations, and mental health professionals can offer guidance, understanding, and a safe space to share your experiences.

Feeling prepared can reduce anxiety and increase a sense of empowerment.5. Seek Professional Support When NeededIf stress and anxiety feel overwhelming, seeking professional mental health support is a powerful step.

#### Anxiety and Depression in LGBTQ Adults
Anxiety and depression are significant mental health challenges that disproportionately affect the LGBTQ community. Various factors contribute to the heightened prevalence of these conditions among LGBTQ adults, ranging from societal discrimination to personal identity struggles. This article delves into the causes of anxiety and depression in LGBTQ adults and explores effective coping strategies to manage these mental health issues.
Understanding the Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression in LGBTQ Adults
Research indicates that LGBTQ individuals experience anxiety and depression at higher rates than their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. This disparity highlights the need for targeted mental health interventions and supports within the LGBTQ community.
Causes of Anxiety and Depression in LGBTQ Adults
1. Discrimination and Stigma
Experiences of discrimination, whether based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or both, are common among LGBTQ adults and can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and depression. This includes discrimination in healthcare, workplace, family rejection, and social ostracism.
2. Minority Stress
Minority stress — stress stemming from being part of a stigmatized minority group — significantly affects LGBTQ adults. The constant pressure of coping with societal rejection and hiding one's identity can exacerbate mental health issues.
3. Internalized Homophobia
Internalized homophobia refers to the self-hatred that occurs in some LGBTQ individuals due to societal attitudes. This condition can lead to deep-seated anxiety and depression as individuals struggle with their self-worth.
Coping Strategies for Managing Anxiety and Depression
1. Seek LGBTQ-Affirmative Therapy
LGBTQ-affirmative therapists such as the ones at East Coast Mental Wellness, understand the specific issues faced by the LGBTQ community and provide a supportive space to explore and address mental health challenges without judgment. These professionals are equipped to help clients develop healthy coping mechanisms tailored to their experiences.  
2. Build a Supportive Network
Having a strong support network of friends, family, or community groups who affirm one’s identity can significantly alleviate feelings of isolation associated with anxiety and depression. Community centers and online groups can also be valuable resources.
3. Practice Self-Care and Mindfulness
Engaging in regular self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, and hobbies, can improve overall mental health. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques can also help manage stress and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
4. Advocate for Inclusive Policies
Being part of advocacy efforts for LGBTQ rights can empower individuals and reduce feelings of helplessness and depression. Advocacy can also foster a sense of community and support that is crucial for mental health.
Conclusion
While anxiety and depression are prevalent among LGBTQ adults, understanding the underlying causes and implementing effective coping strategies can significantly improve mental health outcomes. It is crucial for healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders to continue working towards a more inclusive and supportive society that recognizes and addresses the specific needs of the LGBTQ community.

Together, we can build a supportive environment that promotes mental wellness for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

#### Anxiety Is In The Air
Fall can be a challenging time of year, and for many, this season feels especially difficult. Over the past several weeks, I’ve spoken with many people who are grappling with persistent anxiety—a sense of unease, as if something bad is about to happen. For some, it’s a restless anticipation, thoughts that linger throughout the day and intensify at night, making restful sleep seem impossible. For others, anxiety manifests as irritability, changes in appetite, restlessness, or using sleep as an escape.
If any of this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone, and there are strategies you can try to find some relief.

1. Brain Dump
One effective way to process overwhelming feelings is through a “Brain Dump.” Often, we distract ourselves from uncomfortable thoughts by overbooking our schedules or mindlessly scrolling on our phones. Instead, set aside time to write down everything occupying your mind. Don’t worry about structure or grammar; the goal is simply to unload your mental clutter onto paper.
Over time, patterns may emerge, revealing the root causes of your anxiety. While some triggers might be outside your control, recognizing them can help you decide whether to address them, find closure, or let them go. This process can be challenging, so consider talking to someone you trust. Sharing your feelings often brings a sense of connection and relief.

2. Break the Cycle of Repetitive Thoughts
Did you know the average person has over 60,000 thoughts a day, and 90% of them are repetitive? When anxiety is in the mix, these repetitive thought patterns can keep your nervous system on high alert.
To break this cycle, try engaging your mind and body in a simple, distracting activity. Singing a favorite song or whistling can work wonders. Not only does it occupy your mind, but it also regulates your breath—a critical factor in calming your nervous system. Anxiety often causes shallow, upper-chest breathing, triggering a “fight or flight” response. Deep, controlled breaths—like those needed for singing or whistling—can help reset your body and mind.

3. Move Your Body
For some, anxiety is more physical than mental. It can feel like restlessness or tingling in your arms and legs. Physical movement can help release this tension.
Simple exercises, such as wall pushups, can be highly effective. Focus on syncing your breath with your movements, or try counting backward by even numbers as you exercise. This not only engages your body but also shifts your mental focus away from anxious thoughts.

4. Try Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
EFT tapping is another tool to help with stress and anxiety. Based on the principles of acupuncture, tapping stimulates specific points on the body’s energy pathways. This can improve energy flow and may even prompt the release of calming chemicals in the body. Many people report feeling relief within minutes of practicing EFT.
Here’s a helpful video to get you started.

5. Don’t Forget the Basics
It’s easy to overlook basic self-care when anxiety takes over. Ask yourself:
•Are you eating nourishing meals regularly?
•Are you getting enough rest?
•What kind of information are you consuming?
The content you consume—whether it’s social media, news, or TV—affects your nervous system. Limit exposure to negativity and surround yourself with people and activities that uplift you. And don’t underestimate the power of sleep and healthy food to fuel your body and mind for the challenges ahead.

When to Seek Additional Support
These strategies can be helpful, but they may not be enough if your anxiety feels overwhelming. Speaking with a therapist can provide the additional support you need to navigate these feelings.
If you’re interested in connecting with a therapist, our intake department is here to help. We offer a free 15-minute consultation to get you started. You don’t have to face this alone—support is just a call away.

Remember, relief is possible, and help is available.

#### Bipolar Disorder: The Untold Stories
Introduction
Imagine waking up one day feeling like you can conquer the world, only to find yourself a few days later unable to get out of bed. This is the reality for many living with Bipolar Disorder. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of Bipolar Disorder, share personal experiences, and provide insights into symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive understanding of this complex condition for people who might be questioning if they have Bipolar Disorder or seeking more information.
Understanding Bipolar Disorder
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood swings can affect sleep, energy levels, behavior, and the ability to think clearly.
Types of Bipolar Disorder

 	Bipolar I Disorder: This involves manic episodes that last at least seven days or are so severe that immediate hospital care is needed. Depressive episodes also occur, typically lasting at least two weeks.
 	Bipolar II Disorder: This involves a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but not the full-blown manic episodes that are typical of Bipolar I Disorder.
 	Cyclothymic Disorder: This is a milder form involving periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms lasting for at least two years (one year in children and adolescents).

Prevalence and Demographics
Bipolar Disorder affects approximately 2.8% of the U.S. adult population. It is equally common among men and women and typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Manic Episodes
During manic episodes, individuals may feel euphoric, overly energetic, or unusually irritable. Symptoms can include:

 	Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity
 	Decreased need for sleep
 	More talkative than usual
 	Racing thoughts
 	Easily distracted
 	Increased goal-directed activities
 	Engaging in high-risk behaviors (e.g., spending sprees, reckless driving)

Depressive Episodes
Depressive episodes involve symptoms such as:

 	Depressed mood most of the day
 	Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in activities
 	Significant weight loss or gain
 	Insomnia or excessive sleeping
 	Fatigue or loss of energy
 	Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
 	Difficulty concentrating
 	Thoughts of death or suicide

Mixed Episodes
Mixed episodes are periods during which symptoms of both mania and depression occur simultaneously. This can be particularly challenging, as the conflicting emotions can make it difficult to function.
The Diagnosis Process
Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder involves a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional. This typically includes:

 	Medical History: Reviewing personal and family history of mental health issues.
 	Physical Exam: To rule out other medical conditions.
 	Psychological Evaluation: Discussing thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns.
 	Mood Charting: Keeping a daily record of mood symptoms, sleep patterns, and other factors.

Personal Stories and Experiences
Case Study 1: A Young Adult's Journey
Meet Sarah, a 25-year-old who started experiencing extreme mood swings in college. She recalls feeling invincible during her manic phases, taking on multiple projects, and staying awake for days. But then, depression would hit, making her feel worthless and unable to get out of bed. It wasn't until she sought help that she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Therapy and medication have since helped her manage her symptoms, allowing her to finish college and start a successful career.
Case Study 2: A Professional's Experience
John, a 35-year-old marketing executive, found it challenging to maintain his career while dealing with Bipolar Disorder. His manic phases made him overly confident and prone to taking unnecessary risks at work, while his depressive phases left him struggling to meet deadlines. Through a combination of medication, therapy, and support from his employer, John learned to manage his condition and maintain his professional responsibilities.
Case Study 3: A Parent's Perspective
Emma, a 40-year-old mother of two, shares how Bipolar Disorder affected her family life. Her mood swings made it difficult to be consistent with her children, leading to feelings of guilt and frustration. With the support of her family, therapy, and a structured routine, Emma found ways to manage her symptoms and maintain a loving and stable home environment.
Treatment and Management
Medication
Medications are often a cornerstone of Bipolar Disorder treatment. Common types include:

 	Mood Stabilizers: Such as lithium, which help control mood swings.
 	Antipsychotics: Used when symptoms of depression or mania persist despite other treatments.
 	Antidepressants: May be used to manage depressive episodes, but often in combination with a mood stabilizer to prevent triggering a manic episode.

Therapy
Therapy can be highly effective in managing Bipolar Disorder. Types of therapy include:

 	Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
 	Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Focuses on teaching coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.
 	Psychoeducation: Educating patients and their families about Bipolar Disorder to help them understand the condition and manage it effectively.

Lifestyle Changes
Making certain lifestyle changes can also help manage symptoms:

 	Diet: Eating a balanced diet can improve overall well-being and mood stability.
 	Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve mood.
 	Sleep: Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is crucial for mood regulation.

Support Systems
Having a strong support system is essential. This can include:

 	Family and Friends: Loved ones who understand and support your journey.
 	Support Groups: Connecting with others who have Bipolar Disorder can provide encouragement and practical advice.
 	Professional Support: Regular appointments with a therapist or psychiatrist to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to treatment.

Coping Strategies and Tips
Recognizing Triggers
Identifying and managing triggers can help prevent mood swings. Common triggers include stress, lack of sleep, and significant life changes.
Building a Routine
Maintaining a consistent daily routine can help stabilize mood swings. This includes regular sleep patterns, meal times, and activities.
Self-Care
Practicing self-care is essential for managing Bipolar Disorder. This can include:

 	Mindfulness: Techniques such as meditation and yoga can help manage stress.
 	Relaxation: Activities like reading, listening to music, or taking a bath can promote relaxation.
 	Hobbies: Engaging in hobbies and activities that bring joy and fulfillment.

Seeking Help
If you suspect you have Bipolar Disorder, it's important to seek professional help. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Myths and Misconceptions
Common Myths
There are many misconceptions about Bipolar Disorder. Let's address a few:

 	Myth: "Bipolar Disorder is just mood swings." Fact: Bipolar Disorder involves extreme mood swings that can significantly impact daily life.
 	Myth: "People with Bipolar Disorder can't lead successful lives." Fact: Many people with Bipolar Disorder manage their symptoms effectively and lead successful, fulfilling lives.

The Importance of Awareness
Greater awareness and understanding of Bipolar Disorder can reduce stigma and encourage those affected to seek help and support.
Conclusion
Living with Bipolar Disorder can be challenging, but with the right support and treatment, it is possible to manage symptoms and lead a fulfilling life. If you relate to the symptoms described in this article, consider reaching out to a mental health professional for an evaluation. Remember, you are not alone, and help is available.

#### Experiences of a Queer Black Woman: Psychotherapist and Doula
The Multifaceted Experience of a Queer Black Woman in America: Psychotherapist and Doula
By Eunice David

Introduction
Growing up, I had little knowledge about mental health. It wasn't until I got older that I began to understand the crisis affecting Black women in America, especially in the healthcare system. Being a Queer woman of color, I needed to understand the impact of stereotypes of my identities which often led to being marginalized in society. Throughout history, our bodies have been seen as tools for labor, reproduction, and sex, dating back to slavery. This exploitation and dehumanization have resulted in deep scars, leading to trauma that not only affects us but also our families and communities. In this brief article, I share my journey as a Queer Black woman, psychotherapist, and doula, emphasizing the importance of culturally competent care and the urgent need for more Black, Brown, and LGBTQ providers.
My Experience
The trauma endured by Black women in America has deep roots in history. As stated before, where our bodies were used for labor and breeding during slavery. Stereotypes developed during this time, such as the belief that Black women have a higher pain tolerance, continue to shape how we are treated in the healthcare system today and even our self confidence. These stereotypes contribute to the dismissive and often neglectful treatment we receive, especially during childbirth.

In my neighborhood growing up, I witnessed the importance of strength, resilience, love, and nurturing within African households. Femininity and protection were deeply intertwined, especially in relation to a woman's body. These experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to be a Black woman and highlighted the need for holistic and empathetic care. I have also witnessed the lack of support and effective services for our community.

My sister-in-law's difficult pregnancies revealed the systemic issues in maternal healthcare. She suffered from postpartum depression, struggles after both births, worsened by inappropriate and complicated interactions with her doctor. Though an interesting time, her experiences are not unique; many women of color share similar stories of mistrust and inadequate care during childbirth. This has reinforced the need for doulas within our community especially in Rhode Island.
The Role of a Doula
Doulas provide essential support by advocating for birthing persons needs, rights and preferences, ensuring their voices are heard in medical settings. They help identify issues that may be overlooked by healthcare professionals, particularly when the person is in pain. Through breathing techniques and emotional support, doulas empower womxn and the birthing person to have safer and more positive birth experiences.
The Role of a Psychotherapist
As a psychotherapist, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my experiences and cultural background. I understand the generational trauma and societal stereotypes that Black women and LGBTQ face. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can discuss postpartum depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues without fear of judgment. My advocacy for social justice empowers clients not only to speak up, but to challenge systemic barriers and navigate their mental health issues with confidence.
The Need for More Black, Brown, and LGBTQ Providers
The presence of more Black, Brown, and LGBTQ providers in psychotherapy and doula services isn't just beneficial—it's essential. These providers bring a wealth of personal and cultural understanding that can enhance the quality of care and support they offer.

The key benefits of having a diverse range of providers include fostering trust and connection through representation, improving health and mental health outcomes through a cultural lens, challenging systemic biases within healthcare and mental health systems, and playing a critical role in building and sustaining supportive communities for marginalized groups.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my experience as a Queer Black woman in America, working as both a psychotherapist and a doula, highlights the importance of intersectionality and the significant impact of representation in these scoops of practice. Through my work, I am able to provide crucial support and advocacy to my clients and patients, contributing to a more inclusive and empathetic future in healthcare and mental health services. The need for more Black, Brown, and LGBTQ providers goes beyond diversity; it is about justice, equality, and the transformative effect of truly understanding and addressing the needs of all individuals. I am available for Free 15-minute consultations if you would like to discuss this topic further or if you are looking for mental health services.

For more insights into the importance of doulas for Black women, please refer to this [New York Times article ](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/18/us/doula-black-women.html) and conduct further research.

 

 

#### Feeling Blue For the Holidays
[et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="section" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row admin_label="row" _builder_version="4.16" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" custom_padding="|||" global_colors_info="{}" custom_padding__hover="|||"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]When I was a kid, every Christmas, I would listen to the same Christmas cassette over and over again. It wasn’t a typical Christmas album. It was a free gift from a carton of cigarettes my mother had purchased. I’m not sure if cigarette companies still do this, but this was in the 90’s, so free gifts were common for chain smokers. The songs on these cassettes were classic songs sung by unknown artists.  My favorite song on this cassette was Blue Christmas, which was sung by an unknown country singer.  Unlike the original by Elvis Presley, this one was sung by a woman whose voice made me feel the sadness and the pain of being without a loved one for the holiday season.  Many times throughout my life, I have felt that pain and sorrow and sung the song to myself, which somehow brings me comfort. 
 
I know I'm not the only one who has these feelings at this time of year when we are told we are supposed to be the happiest.  Research has shown that 38% of the population has symptoms of depression during the holidays for a variety of reasons.  Some are mourning the loss of loved ones, struggling financially, or navigating family dynamics.  Some ways that can help deal with the blues during the holiday: 
 

Be kind to yourself:  Don’t feel pressured always to be jolly.  You can give yourself time and space to feel some of the not-so-happy holiday spirit.  Have realistic expectations of yourself.
Stay connected: Many people isolate themselves when feeling down or depressed. Make it a point to be around others: meet a neighbor for coffee, attend a yoga class or workshop at the local library, or do something else. We are naturally social creatures, and being around others, even briefly, can be good for mental health. 
Do something for someone else: Remember, you are probably not the only one struggling with the holiday blues, so reaching out and doing something else for someone else can make a huge impact on them.  It can be as small as buying someone a coffee or offering to walk someone's dog.  Speaking of dogs, doing something nice for the animals can also help you feel good.  Contact a local shelter to see if they need help or donations.  Maybe they need towels or blankets you have around the house, which you can donate. 
Healthy body: It can be tempting to indulge in all the food, seats, and alcohol during the season, but it will be necessary to keep your eating and drinking in check.  Also, it is essential to move your body.  The winter months can be difficult to get out and exercise, but you can be creative and do different activities in the house, such as bed yoga or 2 minutes body movement actions throughout the day.  Here is an excellent IG account to follow for some ideas: Click here 
Seek help: For some, they are experiencing more than the holiday blues, but are actually experiencing symptoms of major depression. The symptoms can include: 

 

Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness or hopelessness
Angry outbursts, irritability, or frustration, even over small matters
Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies, or sports
Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much
Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort
Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased cravings for food and weight gain
Anxiety, agitation, or restlessness
Slowed thinking, speaking, or body movements
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame
Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions, and remembering things
Frequent or recurrent thoughts of death, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, or suicide
Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

 
If you are experiencing these symptoms or even just feeling a little blue, seeing a professional for help can make a world of difference.  If you are interested in speaking with someone, please contact us here. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

#### Festivus & the Quiet Hope of Saying What We Really Feel
Today is December 23rd, Festivus, the famously unconventional holiday created by a show I watched for many years as a young person, Seinfeld. It is a fictional holiday that invites people to gather around an aluminum pole and participate in the Airing of Grievances.
Growing up, seeing this episode every year didn’t have the same impact on me as it does now. On the surface, it’s absurd and funny. But underneath the humor, Festivus holds something surprisingly meaningful, especially for people who tend to be people pleasers.
For many, the idea of openly expressing frustrations feels uncomfortable, risky, or even wrong. People pleasers often grow up learning that harmony is maintained by staying quiet, being agreeable, and prioritizing others’ comfort over their own. So the concept of a holiday, even a fictional one, where honesty is not only allowed but expected, can feel oddly relieving.


Why Festivus Resonates With People Pleasers
People pleasers are often deeply attuned to others’ emotions. They anticipate reactions, avoid conflict, and smooth over tension before it has a chance to surface. While this skill can be adaptive, it often comes at a cost: unexpressed feelings, resentment, emotional exhaustion, and a lingering sense of invisibility.
Festivus flips the script.
The Airing of Grievances is presented as something structured, time-limited, and most importantly, permitted. There’s a subtle psychological safety in that. It introduces the idea that:


 	
Feelings don’t automatically cause harm

 	
Expressing dissatisfaction doesn’t equal rejection

 	
Honesty can coexist with connection


Even if no one is actually listing their grievances out loud today, the possibility that it could happen matters.

Humor as a Safe Container for Truth
Festivus works because it’s wrapped in humor. Laughter lowers defenses. It gives people an emotional buffer, “I’m joking… kind of.” For those who are afraid of upsetting others, humor becomes a socially acceptable way to test honesty.
This is something many people pleasers already do instinctively:


 	
They make jokes instead of direct requests

 	
They hint instead of stating needs

 	
They laugh off discomfort rather than naming it


Festivus validates that impulse while also gently nudging people toward something deeper: What if it were okay to say how you really feel, even briefly?

The Glimmer of Hope in “What If?”
The most powerful part of Festivus isn’t the grievances themselves; it’s the idea that expression is allowed.
For people who are conflict-avoidant or approval-seeking, that idea can feel like a glimmer of hope:


 	
What if honesty didn’t destroy relationships?

 	
What if expressing frustration actually led to relief?

 	
What if my feelings were tolerable—even welcome?


Festivus creates a symbolic doorway. You don’t have to walk through it fully. You just have to notice that it exists.

A Gentle Reframe for Everyday Life
You don’t need an aluminum pole or a fictional holiday to practice emotional expression. But Festivus reminds us that feelings don’t have to be catastrophic to be valid.
For people pleasers, growth often doesn’t start with confrontation; it starts with permission:


 	
Permission to feel annoyed

 	
Permission to be disappointed

 	
Permission to want something different


Festivus offers a playful reminder that naming your internal experience doesn’t make you difficult, it makes you human.
If you would like to discuss your grievances and be prepared to express them in a healthy manner next Festivus season, let's chat. We have many therapists ready to help you process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
So happy Festivus to all who celebrate, and to those who don’t, may your grievances remain quietly validated, emotionally processed, and safely unspoken.

#### Gender-Affirming Support for Minors in Rhode Island
At East Coast Mental Wellness in Rhode Island, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, inclusive, and ethical mental health care to every person who walks through our doors. This includes transgender youth, nonbinary youth, and gender-diverse minors who are navigating their gender identity in a world that does not always validate or support them.

In today’s political climate, many young people and their families are feeling increased fear, confusion, and uncertainty. Despite shifting narratives and attempts to minimize or dismiss the experiences of transgender and gender-questioning youth, we want families to know this:

Gender-diverse youth exist. Their experiences are real. Their feelings matter. And they deserve high-quality, affirming mental health care.

At East Coast Mental Wellness, we proudly continue to support minors who are exploring or affirming their gender identity. No matter what messaging they may hear from political leaders, media outlets, or social platforms, they deserve a safe place where they can talk openly, process feelings, and be supported by qualified mental health professionals.
Young People Know Themselves: Why Gender-Affirming Care Matters
A common misconception is that minors are “confused,” “too young,” or “influenced by social media” when it comes to gender identity. Research and decades of clinical understanding show otherwise. Many young people have a clear sense of their gender identity, while others benefit from a supportive space to safely explore those feelings without judgment or pressure.

Our therapists do not push any child toward a specific identity. Instead, our approach is to:

 	Provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental therapy space
 	Help youth develop emotional resilience and self-understanding
 	Support parents and caregivers in understanding and supporting their child
 	Reduce shame, fear, and isolation
 	Protect the emotional wellbeing and mental health of LGBTQ+ youth

We honor each child’s unique journey, pace, and developmental process. Our work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practice, and respect
Supporting LGBTQ+ and Transgender Youth Saves Lives
Transgender and gender-diverse minors often face bullying, discrimination, rejection, family strain, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, not because of who they are, but because of how society treats them. Studies repeatedly show that affirming mental health care reduces risk, improves wellbeing, strengthens resilience, and significantly improves quality of life.

East Coast Mental Wellness is committed to continuing gender-affirming counseling in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Florida, and Puerto Rico because it is life-saving, ethically responsible, and rooted in human dignity.
We will not deny a young person support simply because political conversations have become louder. Instead, we remain firmly grounded in compassionate, professional care.
Confidential, Ethical Documentation and Insurance Protection
We understand that families may worry about privacy, documentation, and safety. Our therapists follow HIPAA standards, professional ethics, and legal guidelines at all times.

At East Coast Mental Wellness:

 	Client records are confidential and securely protected
 	Therapy documentation includes only clinically relevant information
 	Notes are written to support treatment and insurance reimbursement requirements
 	Personal identity details are handled ethically and respectfully
 	We prioritize client safety, dignity, and privacy at every step

Parents and guardians can feel confident that their child’s care is handled thoughtfully, responsibly, and with respect.
Our Values Remain Unchanged
No matter how policies shift or narratives evolve, our values remain constant:

- We support transgender youth and gender-diverse minors
- We provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Rhode Island
- We respect every child’s identity and lived experience
- We advocate for mental health, safety, and wellbeing
- We provide compassionate, evidence-based care

Every child deserves to feel valued, safe, and supported. Every family deserves access to informed, caring professionals.
If Your Child Is Questioning Their Gender, You Are Not Alone
If your child is exploring gender identity, experiencing gender dysphoria, or needs a supportive therapist, we are here to help. At East Coast Mental Wellness, we proudly serve families across Rhode Island and beyond with in-person and telehealth options.

-We support the child.
- We support the family.
- We support healthy emotional development.

If you are looking for gender-affirming therapy for youth in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Florida, or Puerto Rico,  contact East Coast Mental Wellness today. We are here. We are listening. And we are honored to support your family.

 

#### How Race and Identity Shape LGBTQ Mental Health
Mental health is a complex and nuanced issue that affects everyone differently, influenced by a myriad of factors including socioeconomic status, cultural background, and personal experiences. However, for individuals within the LGBTQ community, mental health is often further complicated by additional layers of discrimination and marginalization. This blog explores the concept of intersectionality in mental health, specifically how race, gender identity, and sexual orientation converge to impact the mental health challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals.
Understanding Intersectionality in Mental Health
Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that identifies how interconnected social categorizations such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and class apply to a given individual or group, creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. Originally coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in the late 1980s, this framework helps us understand the multifaceted experiences of those who do not fit neatly into the single categories often defined by society.
The Triple Layer of Stigma
For many LGBTQ individuals, stigma can come from multiple sources. Not only do they face potential prejudice due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, but they may also encounter racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination that intersect with their LGBTQ identity.

 	Racial Identity: LGBTQ individuals of color may face compounded stigmatization that affects their mental health significantly. Studies have shown that Black, Hispanic, and Asian LGBTQ individuals often deal with a dual identity crisis that can exacerbate feelings of isolation and anxiety.
 	Gender Identity: Transgender and non-binary individuals often face unique mental health challenges, including higher rates of depression and anxiety. The lack of societal acceptance, fear of discrimination, and the continuous struggle for recognition of their gender identity can lead to significant psychological distress.
 	Sexual Orientation: Even within the LGBTQ community, there are disparities. For instance, bisexual individuals often report feeling invisible or marginalized not just by the heterosexual community but also within the LGBTQ spectrum.

Impact of Intersectionality on Mental Health
The intersection of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation can lead to unique mental health challenges:

 	Access to Healthcare: Intersectional identities can impact the accessibility and quality of mental health care received. Discrimination in healthcare settings can deter LGBTQ individuals, especially those of color, from seeking necessary care.
 	Social Support: The level of social support received by LGBTQ individuals can vary greatly depending on their racial and gender identity. A lack of supportive networks increases vulnerability to mental health issues.
 	Mental Health Outcomes: The compounded stress of dealing with multiple sources of discrimination can lead to heightened risks of mental health disorders. LGBTQ individuals of color are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Promoting Better Mental Health Outcomes
Understanding and addressing the unique mental health needs of LGBTQ individuals requires a comprehensive approach:

 	Inclusive Healthcare Policies: Advocate for policies that increase healthcare accessibility and address the specific needs of LGBTQ populations of diverse racial and gender identities.
 	Community Support Networks: Foster strong support networks that cater to the diverse needs of the LGBTQ community, ensuring that everyone feels included and supported regardless of their intersectional identities.
 	Education and Awareness: Increase awareness and understanding of intersectionality and its impact on mental health through education, helping to reduce stigma and promote a more inclusive society.

Conclusion
The mental health challenges faced by the LGBTQ community are deeply influenced by their intersecting identities. By adopting an intersectional approach in addressing these issues, we can begin to dismantle the complex layers of discrimination that contribute to mental health disparities. Creating a society that acknowledges and respects the diverse identities of every individual will not only improve mental health outcomes but will also foster a more inclusive and equitable world.

#### Human Design vs. Therapy: Why Reality TV Highlights a Growing Mental Health Concern
Human Design vs. Therapy: A Growing Mental Health Concern
If you enjoy reality tv as much as I do, and your recently watched Love Is Blind UK, Season 2, you will be familiar with the phrase “Trust your spleen” Patrick Justus was the participate that shared his knowledge with the rest of the world about, "Human Design” and how this was not only the best way to find love, but to make most decisions in his daily life. He identifies as a Coach of Human Design, which means he will ask for your birthdate, administer a survey, and charge a fee so he can then guide you on how to make life decisions by listening to specific body parts. 

Yes, this can be helpful for some by opening up dialogue about your strengths, decision-making style, and life purpose. For many, it feels exciting, empowering, and even spiritual. It offers a sense of identity and belonging, which explains why it’s appealing enough to make its way into mainstream through reality TV.

For some, it was a quirky detail about a career. However, for others, it highlighted a growing trend: people turning to human design and similar practices as an alternative to therapy

This raises an important question: what happens when self-discovery tools begin to replace professional mental health support?
Why People Are Choosing Human Design Over Therapy
Human design isn’t the only alternative people are seeking out. Life Coaching (by non-mental health professionals), Astrology, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and energy healing are all part of a larger cultural shift toward quick, accessible tools that feel less clinical than therapy.

The appeal is easy to understand:

It feels immediate – You walk away with a chart or framework right away.

It avoids stigma – They don’t carry the same associations as “mental illness.”

It’s personalized – Many promises a map of you and your unique strengths.

It’s empowering – The language is uplifting and focused on potential, not diagnosis.

But while these benefits may feel good, they can also create a false sense of security.
The Risks of Replacing Therapy
Here’s the concern: while human design and other alternative therapies can be a helpful tool for self-reflection, it cannot replace the evidence-based support of therapy.

Unaddressed mental health conditions: Anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD cannot be healed through charts or psychedelic trips  alone.

Lack of clinical safeguards: Most of these professionals providing these alternative therapies are not trained to identify risk factors such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, or serious mental illness.

Misdirection: Believing that self-help frameworks are “enough” may delay or prevent someone from seeking the treatment they truly need.

Blame the Victim: Many of these alternative therapies have a way of making people believe that they are not doing the right thing, not following the prescribed actions or manifesting hard enough and that is why they aren’t getting better. When in actuality the root of the cause is not being addressed with a professional. 
Why is it important to discuss this?
Seeing a Love Is Blind UK participant introduce themselves as a human design coach that relies on his Spleen to make decisions  is more than just reality TV entertainment. It reflects a cultural moment where self-discovery frameworks are entering mainstream awareness—and people are gravitating toward them as alternatives to therapy.

As a mental health professional, this is both a challenge and an opportunity to remind people that therapy feels as accessible, empowering, and personalized as the alternatives they are seeking out.  To give potential clients a better understanding of the work that is done in therapy and that not all therapy techniques are the same.  While one client may benefit from Cognitive behavioral therapy, another may benefit more from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy).  
Final Thoughts
Human design and other self-discovery tools can absolutely have value. They can spark curiosity, inspire growth, and encourage people to reflect on their lives. But when they are used as a replacement for therapy, they risk leaving deeper issues unresolved.

The lesson here isn’t to dismiss human design or other alternative therapies, but to include them with therapy that a licensed mental health therapist provides. Therapy can be hard work and won’t always feel that you are walking away with a pretty chart or roadmap on how to heal all your problems.  But having a licensed therapist means you have someone who has dedicated their life, after years of education and experience help you walk through the journey of healing.

#### Impact of Social Media on LGBTQ Mental Health
Social media has transformed how we connect, learn, and share with others. For LGBTQ individuals, these platforms can offer a community and a voice, yet they also present unique challenges that can affect mental health. This article delves into the complex role of social media in the lives of LGBTQ individuals, highlighting both its benefits and its potential pitfalls.

Keywords: mental health therapy, professional help social media
Conclusion

As digital citizens, it's important to foster an online environment that promotes positivity and resilience. Encourage open discussions about the impact of social media, share strategies for healthy usage, and support initiatives aimed at making the digital world safer for everyone, especially marginalized communities like LGBTQ individuals.

#### Internalized Homophobia: Causes, Effects, and How to Overcome It
What is Internalized Homophobia?

#### January is Divorce Month
[et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="section" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row admin_label="row" _builder_version="4.16" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" custom_padding="|||" global_colors_info="{}" custom_padding__hover="|||"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]
We all know that when getting married, there is a 50% chance that it will eventually end divorce. Did you know January has the highest rate of divorces of any month in the year? According to statistics from the website eDivorcePapers.com there can be several reasons for this phenomenon:
 
Waiting until after the holidays:  Rocky relationships tend to be rocky for some time before January.  Most couples choose not to start the divorce proceedings until after the holidays.  This can be especially true if there are children involved.  Nobody wants their child to associate this supposedly festive time of the year with their family breaking apart.
New Year, New Life:  Some people see filing for divorce in January as a part of their New Year resolution.  Some feel that their marriage keeps them from living a happy and productive life. A divorce may be the answer for them.
The stress of the holidays: Although we are made to believe that the holidays are the best time of the year, in fact, the amount of stress that it can place on a marriage can be too much for the relationship to bare.  The holidays can exasperate an already turbulent marriage. This stress can create more energy to push for a divorce.
Whether you are the person who is filing for a divorce or not, divorce can be extremely overwhelming.  It can cause feelings of anger, guilt, sadness, and loneliness for all parties involved.  This is especially true for children of parents who are getting divorced.  The good thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way.  There is help.  Seeking out a therapist is a good idea in times such as these. Some benefits of therapy during and after divorce can include:

It’s someone you can talk to and not have to worry about what the repercussions may be. There are many times when couples have so much emotion during an argument that they say something that later they wish that they hadn’t. Getting these feelings off your chest or role play with your therapist what you are dying to say to your ex can be beneficial.  It can also keep you out of trouble.
It’s someone who will listen to your side. During a divorce, many people feel as if nobody understands their side of the story.  That there is too much judgment on everything that they say or do.  Meeting with a therapist gives you the space to express your story and emotions without judgment.
Creating a plan: Seeing a therapist can give you space to create a plan for yourself and your family.  There are so many changes that happen during divorce that it can be helpful to talk to someone about the best way to navigate through these changes.  Your therapist may be able to help you sort out where to start and the best places to find resources.

Making sure the kids are Ok:  For many divorces, kids are involved.  Kids can be significantly affected by divorce.  It can be hard to navigate these changes without the kids getting in the middle or feeling as if they are the reason for the breakup.  Kids are like sponges, picking up every negative comment, facial expression, and non-verbal cue you give off.  It’s important to keep these cues in check.  Meeting with a therapist can help with this.  It would be a good idea for the kids to meet with a therapist as well.  They may need to have a neutral party to talk to that they know won’t feel hurt by what they need to say.
Whether your divorce is hell on Earth or a peaceful departing, seeking out therapy may be something worth investing in.  Divorce can bring about emotions and actions you never knew you had.  Talking to someone confidential and unbiased can be extremely helpful to yourself and your family.
Maybe you want to give your marriage another shot. We can help you out with our 6-month Relationship program, which has been extremely helpful for helping people in all types of relationships.  For more information on our couples program or to set up a session with a therapist, please reach out to our intake department at intake@eastcoastmentalwellness.com

This article highlights several successful campaigns that have made significant impacts on mental health awareness for both the LGBTQ community and the general populace.
The Impact of Mental Health Awareness Campaigns
Mental health awareness campaigns are vital tools in the fight against the stigma associated with mental illness. By promoting understanding and empathy, these campaigns encourage individuals to seek help, support others facing mental health challenges, and advocate for inclusive policies and practices.
Highlighting Successful Mental Health Campaigns
1. #BellLetsTalk (Bell Canada)

4. Movember Foundation
While primarily known for its focus on men’s physical health, the Movember Foundation also dedicates significant resources to men’s mental health. Their campaigns provide platforms for men to speak openly about mental health issues, thus broadening the conversation to include the often-overlooked area of men’s mental health.
5. The Trevor Project
As a leading organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth, The Trevor Project runs numerous programs and campaigns that promote acceptance and provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention services. Their campaigns are crucial in addressing the high rates of mental health issues in the LGBTQ community.
Measuring the Success of Mental Health Campaigns
The success of a mental health campaign is often measured by its reach, the level of engagement it generates, and the tangible outcomes it achieves in terms of increased support and reduced stigma. Metrics might include the number of individuals reached, the amount of funds raised, the number of conversations initiated, and changes in public policy.
Conclusion
Effective mental health awareness campaigns play a crucial role in changing public perceptions and improving the mental health landscape. By focusing on inclusivity and targeted outreach, campaigns like #BellLetsTalk, It Gets Better, and The Trevor Project have made significant strides in supporting both the LGBTQ community and the general populace.

Supporting mental health campaigns, sharing their messages, and participating in their initiatives are actions we can all take to contribute to a healthier, more understanding society. Let’s continue to break the stigma and support mental health awareness for everyone.

 

#### Navigating Mental Health Challenges in the LGBTQ Community
Mental health awareness has never been more crucial, especially within the LGBTQ community. The unique challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals can profoundly impact their mental well-being, necessitating a conversation that's both inclusive and supportive. This article delves into the intricacies of mental health issues such as anxiety in LGBTQ relationships, social anxiety, the specific mental health struggles of transgender individuals, and overarching strategies for mental health awareness. Our aim is to foster understanding, provide coping mechanisms, and highlight the importance of support systems.
Understanding Anxiety in LGBTQ Relationships
Relationships are a source of joy, support, and love. However, for many in the LGBTQ community, relationships can also be a significant source of anxiety. This anxiety stems from various factors, including societal pressures, fear of discrimination, and the internalized stigma that too often accompanies LGBTQ identities. These challenges can make individuals feel isolated and misunderstood within their most intimate connections.
Coping with Relationship Anxiety
To navigate these waters, open and honest communication is key. Discussing fears and expectations with partners can alleviate misunderstandings and foster a stronger bond. Seeking support from LGBTQ-friendly therapists or counselors can also provide strategies to manage anxiety effectively. Moreover, engaging with community support groups offers a sense of belonging and understanding that can be incredibly reassuring.
Success Stories and Solidarity
Hearing from those who've navigated similar challenges can be incredibly empowering. Many LGBTQ individuals and couples have overcome anxiety through therapy, community support, and a commitment to mutual understanding and respect. These success stories not only offer hope but also tangible evidence that anxiety in relationships can be managed and overcome.
Navigating Social Anxiety as an LGBTQ Member
Social settings can be daunting for anyone, but for LGBTQ individuals, they often present additional layers of anxiety. The fear of judgment, rejection, or outright discrimination can make social interactions incredibly stressful. This can lead to avoidance of social situations, which, while a temporary relief, can exacerbate feelings of isolation and loneliness in the long run.
Strategies for Social Confidence
Finding and engaging with LGBTQ-friendly spaces and groups can be a game-changer. Such environments provide a safe space to express oneself authentically and build meaningful connections. Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion can also help manage the symptoms of social anxiety, allowing individuals to approach social situations with a calmer, more grounded perspective.
Empowerment through Acceptance
The journey toward self-acceptance is pivotal. Embracing one's identity can significantly reduce the fear of judgment and rejection. Community stories and visibility play a crucial role in this process, as they not only offer models of resilience but also affirm the diversity and beauty of LGBTQ experiences.
The Mental Health of Transgender Individuals
Transgender individuals face unique mental health challenges, including gender dysphoria, discrimination, and difficulty accessing competent healthcare. These challenges can significantly impact their mental well-being, leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts compared to the general population.
Creating Supportive Environments
The importance of access to transgender-inclusive mental health services cannot be overstated. Support from healthcare providers who are knowledgeable and affirming of transgender identities can make a significant difference in the mental health outcomes for transgender individuals. Furthermore, community support groups and online resources can offer a sense of belonging and validation that is crucial for mental well-being.
Resources and Advocacy
Numerous organizations and platforms offer support and resources specifically tailored for transgender individuals. Advocacy for transgender rights, including the right to healthcare, legal recognition, and protection from discrimination, is also crucial in improving mental health outcomes. Being informed and supportive allies can contribute significantly to this cause.
Fostering Overall Mental Health Awareness
Education plays a pivotal role in breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. By promoting open discussions and raising awareness, we can create a more understanding and supportive environment for everyone, including LGBTQ individuals. Engaging in mental health advocacy and supporting initiatives that aim to improve access to mental health resources for the LGBTQ community are ways everyone can contribute to this essential cause.
Conclusion
The mental health challenges faced by the LGBTQ community are significant, but not insurmountable. By fostering open conversations, providing support, and advocating for inclusive policies and practices, we can create a healthier, more supportive environment for all. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and there is a community ready to support you every step of the way. Let's continue to raise awareness, offer support, and celebrate the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ community together.

#### Suicide Prevention Month: September, Let’s Talk About It
September marks Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting those whose lives have been touched by suicide. For many, this month is deeply personal. Whether you’ve lost someone you love, struggled with your own mental health, or walked alongside a friend in pain, the impact of suicide can feel overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to talk about.

One of the most difficult aspects of suicide is the stigma that often surrounds it. For people who have lost someone they care about due to suicide, it can feel incredibly lonely because others may feel uncertain about what to say or afraid of saying the wrong thing. The feelings of loneliness can make healing even more difficult. It can be a confusing time for people who have lost someone to suicide because of unanswered questions or feelings of guilt.

The stigma doesn’t only affect those left behind—it also impacts people who are currently struggling with suicidal thoughts. According to the CDC, about 12.8 U.S. adults seriously thought about suicide in the past year. These numbers show that having these thoughts is not uncommon, but many feel ashamed, isolated, or afraid to speak up for fear of being judged or misunderstood.

It’s important to know that talking about suicidal feelings does not automatically mean hospitalization. Opening up can be an important first step toward finding support, connection, and relief. Suicide loss and suicidal struggles are not things to be hidden away—they deserve compassion, acknowledgment, and open conversation.

The Reality of Suicide

 	In the United States, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death overall and the second leading cause of death for people ages 10–34 (CDC, 2023).
 	Each year, more than 48,000 lives are lost to suicide, and millions more think about or attempt suicide.
 	For every one death by suicide, there are an estimated 135 people who are directly impacted, including family, friends, colleagues, and communities.

 

These numbers remind us that suicide is not rare, and that prevention truly matters.

Warning Signs to Look Out For

Not everyone who is struggling will show obvious signs, but some red flags to be aware of include:

 	Talking about feeling hopeless, trapped, or being a burden.
 	Withdrawing from friends, family, or usual activities.
 	Extreme mood swings, irritability, or noticeable changes in behavior.
 	Increased use of alcohol or drugs.
 	Giving away possessions or saying goodbye in unexpected ways.

Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it’s worth paying attention to.

Some Ways How You Can Help Someone in Need

 	Start the conversation. It’s okay to ask, “Are you thinking about taking your life?” Asking directly does not put the idea in someone’s head; it can open the door to honesty.
 	Listen without judgment. Sometimes, being heard is the most powerful support you can offer.
 	Encourage professional help. Offer to help connect them with a therapist, doctor, or support line.
 	Make a plan for Safety. Create a list of coping strategies, and supportive people and communities they can reach out to, including hotlines.
 	Stay connected. Checking in regularly shows that you care and that they are not alone.

Whether you have lost someone by suicide or struggle with thoughts yourself, please know you are not alone, and help is available.

#### The Importance of Inclusive Health Education: Impact on Mental Health for LGBTQ Individuals
Inclusive health education, particularly regarding sex and relationships, plays a critical role in supporting the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ individuals. When educational programs include comprehensive, affirming information about all sexual orientations and gender identities, they contribute to a more accepting and supportive environment. This article explores how inclusive health education impacts mental health outcomes for LGBTQ individuals and why it’s essential in educational settings.
Understanding the Need for Inclusive Health Education
Health education in schools often overlooks or misrepresents LGBTQ issues, which can lead to misinformation and stigma. Providing inclusive education helps to foster a sense of belonging and acceptance, which is crucial for the mental health of LGBTQ students.
The Benefits of Inclusive Sex and Relationship Education
1. Reduces Stigma and Misinformation
Inclusive education counters the stigma surrounding LGBTQ identities by normalizing and affirming diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. This reduction in stigma is linked to lower levels of anxiety and depression among LGBTQ youth.
2. Promotes Self-Acceptance
Learning about a range of identities and orientations helps LGBTQ students understand and accept their own identities. Self-acceptance is a key factor in positive mental health outcomes and can reduce feelings of isolation and self-doubt.
3. Improves Peer Relationships
When all students receive education that respects and includes diverse identities, it can lead to more empathetic peer interactions. This improved social environment supports better mental health for all students, particularly those from LGBTQ communities.
4. Encourages Supportive School Policies
Inclusive education often prompts schools to adopt more supportive policies for LGBTQ students, such as anti-bullying rules and the use of preferred pronouns. These policies contribute to a safer and more supportive school environment, significantly impacting mental health positively.
Challenges to Implementing Inclusive Health Education
Despite its benefits, inclusive health education faces challenges, including political resistance, lack of teacher training, and curriculum limitations. Overcoming these challenges requires advocacy, professional development for educators, and community engagement to support inclusive curricula.
The Role of Educators and Advocates
Educators and advocates play a crucial role in implementing and supporting inclusive health education. They can:

 	Advocate for inclusive curricula that accurately reflect the diversity of human experiences.
 	Participate in professional development to better understand and teach about LGBTQ issues.
 	Support policies that protect and affirm LGBTQ students.

Conclusion
Inclusive health education is not just a curriculum requirement—it is a vital component of fostering healthy, accepting communities that support the mental health of LGBTQ individuals. By promoting understanding and acceptance, inclusive education can make a significant difference in the lives of LGBTQ students, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to thrive.

Support the push for more inclusive health education in your local schools. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or concerned citizen, your voice can help ensure that all students receive the education they deserve, one that promotes health, well-being, and acceptance for everyone.

#### Transgender Mental Health: Challenges & Support
The journey of transgender individuals is one of courage and authenticity. Yet, this journey is often met with societal barriers that impact their mental health significantly. This article delves into the mental health challenges faced by the transgender community, highlights the importance of support systems, and explores effective pathways to enhancing well-being.

Introduction

Transgender individuals, those whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, navigate a unique set of mental health challenges. From societal discrimination and personal acceptance to the often daunting task of seeking gender-affirming care, their experiences are layered and complex. Understanding these challenges is the first step toward fostering a more inclusive and supportive society.

Understanding the Mental Health Challenges

Transgender individuals face a disproportionately high risk of experiencing mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. This increased risk is not inherent to being transgender but rather a result of societal stigma, discrimination, and lack of support.

1. Discrimination and Stigma

Daily encounters with discrimination and stigma can take a significant toll on mental health. Transphobia, whether experienced in the workplace, healthcare settings, or within social and family circles, can lead to feelings of isolation and helplessness.

2. Gender Dysphoria

Gender dysphoria, the distress associated with a discrepancy between one’s gender identity and assigned sex, can significantly impact mental well-being. Access to gender-affirming treatments can alleviate these feelings but is often hindered by barriers in the healthcare system.

3. Social Isolation

The fear of rejection and actual experiences of being ostracized by friends, family, and society can lead to social isolation. This lack of support exacerbates mental health challenges, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break.

Building Support Systems

The role of supportive networks, including friends, family, and healthcare providers, cannot be overstated. Acceptance and affirmation from these groups have been shown to greatly reduce the risk of mental health issues.

1. Family Acceptance

Family acceptance is a powerful protective factor against mental health struggles. Families that actively support their transgender members, by affirming their gender identity and advocating for their rights, provide a crucial foundation of security and acceptance.

2. Healthcare and Counseling

Access to transgender-inclusive healthcare and mental health services is vital. Mental health professionals trained in the needs of transgender individuals can offer support for gender dysphoria, social isolation, and other related issues. Additionally, gender-affirming treatments are an essential aspect of mental health care for many transgender people.

3. Community and Online Support

The transgender community, both online and in person, offers a space of understanding and shared experiences. These communities can provide invaluable resources, advice, and a sense of belonging that mitigates feelings of isolation.

Pathways to Enhancing Well-being

Improving the mental health of transgender individuals involves both individual and societal efforts. Education, policy changes, and increased access to gender-affirming care are crucial steps toward a more inclusive society.

1. Education and Awareness

Raising awareness about transgender issues, including the challenges faced by the transgender community, can foster empathy and support. Educational initiatives aimed at debunking myths and reducing stigma are crucial for societal change.

2. Policy and Legal Support

Advocacy for policies that protect the rights of transgender individuals, including healthcare rights, anti-discrimination laws, and legal recognition of gender identity, is essential. Such policies not only affirm the rights of transgender people but also contribute to a more accepting society.

3. Access to Gender-affirming Care

Improving access to gender-affirming treatments and healthcare services is critical. Healthcare providers need to be educated on transgender health issues to provide supportive, informed care without discrimination.

Conclusion

The mental health of transgender individuals is shaped by a complex interplay of societal attitudes, support systems, and access to care. By understanding these challenges and advocating for inclusive policies and practices, we can create a supportive environment that acknowledges and affirms the identities of transgender individuals. It is a collective journey towards a society where every individual, regardless of gender identity, has the opportunity to live authentically and thrive mentally, emotionally, and physically.

#### Transgender Mental Health: Key Challenges & Support
The mental health of transgender individuals is an area of growing concern and awareness, influenced by unique challenges such as gender dysphoria and societal acceptance.

The Role of Gender Dysphoria in Mental Health

This condition can lead to severe anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts if not appropriately addressed.

Keywords: gender dysphoria, transgender anxiety and depression
Societal Acceptance and Its Impact

Mental Health Concerns Specific to Transgender People
Transgender individuals are at a higher risk for several mental health conditions due to the pressures and prejudices they often face.

Strategies for Supporting Transgender Mental Health

Support transgender mental health by educating yourself, advocating for inclusive and informed healthcare practices, and standing against discrimination. Remember, change begins with action.

Academic success coaching is a collaborative process that centers around the client's unique needs. Kaitlin utilizes her expertise to help clients craft personalized plans aligning with their goals and challenges. This individualized approach ensures that each client receives the guidance and support necessary to thrive academically or professionally.
The cornerstone of academic success coaching is application—success is not merely about understanding strategies but actively incorporating them into daily routines. Progress is achievable when these skills are consistently applied, improving academic or professional performance and beyond.
 
Key areas of focus within academic success coaching include, but are not limited to:

Study and Reading Skills: Developing effective techniques for absorbing and retaining information.

Time Management: Learning to prioritize tasks and manage time efficiently to meet deadlines.

Motivation: Finding and sustaining the drive to achieve goals.

Organization and Planning: Structuring tasks and schedules in a way that optimizes productivity.

Test-Taking Strategies: Approaches to improve performance under exam conditions.

Interpersonal Communication: Enhancing communication skills for better collaboration and interaction in academic settings.

Goal Setting: Defining clear, achievable objectives to guide academic efforts.

Metacognition: Understanding one's learning processes to become more self-aware.

Note-taking: Mastering techniques to capture and organize information effectively during lectures and study sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT helps clients commit to actions that align with their values, even in the presence of difficult emotions. The goal is to create a rich and meaningful life while accepting the pain that inevitably comes with it.

Acceptance: In ACT, clients are encouraged to accept their thoughts and feelings, especially those that are uncomfortable or painful, rather than trying to avoid or suppress them. Acceptance does not mean resignation but rather an acknowledgment of reality, allowing clients to move forward even when difficult thoughts and emotions are present.

Cognitive Defusion: ACT teaches techniques to help clients distance themselves from their thoughts. Instead of getting caught up in the content of their thoughts (e.g., "I'm a failure"), clients learn to see thoughts as just thoughts, without giving them undue power or influence over their behavior.

Mindfulness: Mindfulness in ACT involves being present and aware of the current moment, fully engaging with experiences as they happen. It is about observing thoughts and feelings without judgment and without getting entangled in them.

Values Clarification: ACT helps clients clarify their core values—what truly matters to them in life. Understanding these values serves as a compass for making decisions and taking action, even in the face of emotional discomfort.

Committed Action: Based on their values, clients are encouraged to take meaningful, value-driven actions. ACT emphasizes taking steps that are in line with one's values, regardless of the emotional challenges that may arise.

Self-as-Context: This concept involves recognizing that there is a part of oneself that is constant and unchanging, separate from the ever-changing stream of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This perspective helps clients see themselves as more than their thoughts and feelings.

Immediate Openings

Hi! I’m Alicia and I’m a clinical mental health counselor. I provide talk therapy virtually to teens and adults.

I believe in the power of our own stories and experiences to help us identify our strengths and motivations and move through difficult moments in life. It’s easy to feel disconnected in our daily lives, and it’s hard to open up to others and ask for help. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental place to meet you where you are at and connect. Together we can navigate problems, ideas, life transitions, relationships, goals, dreams, nightmares, you name it.
Each of us move through the external world of people, places and things that define our daily lives. We also have rich, inner worlds which deserve our attention and curiosity. I can offer a place to safely explore your inner world and learn more about your strengths and capacity.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and narrative practice, and I will always tailor our work to your specific needs and goals.

Breathwork therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is based on the idea that controlled and intentional breathing can help release stress, improve mental clarity, and facilitate emotional healing. Breathwork therapy encompasses various styles and approaches, including holotropic breathwork, integrative breathwork, rebirthing, and others, each with its own specific methods and goals.

Conscious Breathing: Breathwork therapy involves the practice of intentional breathing patterns, often focusing on deep, rhythmic, and sustained breathing. This is believed to help regulate the nervous system, release stored emotions, and increase self-awareness.
Mind-Body Connection: Breathwork emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, using breath as a bridge to access and influence emotional and physical states. By altering breathing patterns, individuals can tap into the body’s natural ability to heal and process emotions.
Altered States of Consciousness: In some forms of breathwork, particularly holotropic breathwork, the practice can induce altered states of consciousness. These states can lead to profound insights, emotional release, and a sense of spiritual connection.
Emotional Release: Breathwork therapy can bring up buried emotions, traumas, or memories, allowing them to be processed and released. This can lead to a sense of relief, catharsis, and emotional healing.

Mindfulness Training: Clients can expect to engage in mindfulness practices as part of the therapy. This may include guided mindfulness meditation, mindful breathing exercises, and practices that encourage awareness of the present moment. The therapist will guide the client in developing mindfulness skills that can be applied in daily life.

Meditation Sessions: Depending on the therapist’s approach, sessions may include time for meditation. The therapist might guide the client through a meditation practice, teaching them techniques that align with their therapeutic goals. These meditative practices can help clients develop a deeper understanding of their minds and emotions.

Exploration of Buddhist Concepts: The therapist may introduce and discuss key Buddhist concepts, such as impermanence, non-attachment, and the nature of suffering (Dukkha). These concepts are explored not as religious doctrines but as practical tools for understanding and alleviating psychological distress.

Focus on Self-Compassion: Clients will be encouraged to cultivate self-compassion, learning to treat themselves with kindness and understanding, especially during times of difficulty. The therapist may use exercises or meditations specifically designed to foster self-compassion.

Ethical Reflection: Depending on the client’s needs and the therapist’s approach, there may be discussions around ethical living and how ethical conduct can support mental well-being. Clients may reflect on how their actions align with their values and how this alignment can reduce internal conflict and increase peace of mind.

Non-Judgmental Awareness: The therapist will help the client develop a non-judgmental attitude toward their thoughts and feelings. This involves learning to observe thoughts and emotions without labeling them as good or bad, right or wrong, which can reduce the intensity of emotional reactions and promote acceptance.

Exploration of Suffering: Buddhist therapy often includes an exploration of the nature of suffering and how it arises from attachment, aversion, and ignorance. The therapist may help the client understand these patterns in their life and work toward reducing unnecessary suffering.

Integration of Insights into Daily Life: The therapist will work with the client to apply the insights and practices from therapy to their everyday life. This might include developing a regular mindfulness or meditation practice, reflecting on their experiences, or making changes that align with their values and reduce stress

Caitlin is originally from Budd, Lake, New Jersey. She is currently a Resident Assistant and has been for three years. She was able to work with diverse groups of students and gain experience working with a great team. She is also an Ambassador at Johnson & Wales University, and she worked with perspective students and families on a daily basis. She has an abundance of experience working with children, adults, teenagers, and little kids. She is new to this type of work and is just super thrilled to get her feet wet and start working with clients! She is passionate about all forms of work and is willing to learn!

Caitlin is extremely interested in learning more about other people and diverse clients. She enjoys helping people become their best selves and change for the better. She believes that everyone is unique in their own way and should be able to express themselves freely without judgement. But a few things about her are that she is extraverted, personable, friendly, and a great listener. She is also always full of energy![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" admin_label="How It Works"

Focus on the Present: CBT primarily addresses current problems and issues, rather than focusing extensively on past experiences. The therapy aims to provide clients with practical tools and strategies to manage their current symptoms and challenges.

Identifying Negative Thought Patterns: One of the first steps in CBT is helping clients identify and become aware of their negative or distorted thought patterns. These might include thoughts that are overly pessimistic, self-critical, or based on irrational beliefs.

Challenging and Restructuring Thoughts: After identifying these unhelpful thoughts, the therapist works with the client to challenge and reframe them. This might involve examining the evidence for and against a particular thought, considering alternative perspectives, and developing more balanced and realistic ways of thinking.

Behavioral Interventions: CBT also involves changing unhelpful behaviors that contribute to or maintain psychological problems. This might include gradually facing feared situations (exposure therapy), developing new coping skills, or engaging in activities that improve mood and reduce stress.

Skill-Building: CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that often includes homework assignments or practice exercises. These activities help clients apply what they’ve learned in therapy to real-life situations, reinforcing new skills and ways of thinking.

Time-Limited and Goal-Oriented: CBT is typically a short-term therapy, often lasting between 6 to 20 sessions, depending on the individual’s needs. It is highly focused on specific goals set by the client and therapist, with progress regularly reviewed.

Evidence-Based: CBT has been extensively researched and shown to be effective for a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and many others.

Our program stands out due to its strengths-based, time-limited approach. It begins with an intensive deep-dive session to uncover the underlying causes of distress in the relationship. Subsequent sessions guide couples through a range of topics and activities designed to facilitate open communication and address the root issues. Between sessions, couples are given homework to reinforce the new skills they are learning. Our therapists are carefully selected for their expertise and dedication to helping couples succeed, ensuring that each couple receives the highest quality of support throughout the program.

I base my practice in choice theory, helping people remember that they have choices and options in their life. By taking care of ourselves first, we can be available for anything that comes our way. Life can be challenging, and with a little shift, we can turn challenges into opportunities.

I received my masters degree in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Salve Regina University where I also earned a CAGS in Expressive and Creative Arts. I am pre-licensed and working towards licensure. As a lifelong musician, performer and music teacher, I have found great catharsis through expression and welcome the privilege of guiding others through processes that illuminate blocks in their life.

I have also worked as a rebirthing breathworker for almost ten years. Breathwork allows us to work with unseen trauma hidden in our body and learn to embrace the trauma as part of who we are. I believe each of has everything we need inside of us to be whole and I am here to help you love yourself once again, embrace your innocence, and live the life you want. So often we are told we need to be fixed, that we are broken. The reality is, we are who we are, and we don’t need to be fixed. We need to be loved, by ourselves and those around us. We can then love more freely and completely.

I specialize in working with people who are ready to do the work to live the life they want. There may be pain, suffering, fear, anxiety, depression or grief that is burdening you. I can help you meet these qualities safely, with curiosity, and eventually with love. I welcome all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities. While I am not an expert in all fields, I am experienced in life. I teach music to children aged 5 to adults in their 80’s and I can flow between them and their caregivers, strengthening the work being done by creating open lines of communication. Establishing core connection allows us to widen our support and continue creating the world in which we want to live. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to meet you soon.[/et_pb_toggle][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.25.1" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Untitled-design-14-1.png" alt="Couples Therapist" title_text="Untitled design (14)" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/our-therapists/khym-carmichael/" url_new_window="on" align="center" align_tablet="center" align_phone="center" align_last_edited="on|phone" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_toggle title="STEPHEN CROCKER, LCSW.

Breathwork therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is based on the idea that controlled and intentional breathing can help release stress, improve mental clarity, and facilitate emotional healing. Breathwork therapy encompasses various styles and approaches, including holotropic breathwork, integrative breathwork, rebirthing, and others, each with its own specific methods and goals.

Dialectics: The term "dialectical" refers to the synthesis or integration of opposites. In DBT, this often involves balancing acceptance (accepting oneself and one’s current situation) with the need for change (working to improve one’s behavior and emotional responses).
Mindfulness: Mindfulness is a core component of DBT, focusing on being fully present in the moment and observing thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Mindfulness practices help clients become more aware of their emotions and behaviors, improving self-regulation and reducing impulsive actions.
Emotional Regulation: DBT teaches clients skills to understand and manage their intense emotions. This involves identifying and labeling emotions, reducing vulnerability to emotional swings, and learning strategies to modulate emotional responses.
Distress Tolerance: DBT provides tools for tolerating and surviving crises without making the situation worse. This includes techniques like distraction, self-soothing, and radical acceptance (accepting things as they are without judgment or the desire to change them).
Interpersonal Effectiveness: DBT helps clients develop skills to communicate more effectively, assertively, and respectfully in relationships. This includes learning how to set boundaries, ask for what they need, and manage conflict in a healthy way.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Therapy-Modalities.png" alt="Online therapy techniques" title_text="Therapy Modalities" show_bottom_space="off" _builder_version="4.27.0" box_shadow_style="preset4" box_shadow_horizontal="20vw" box_shadow_vertical="25vw" box_shadow_color="#276272" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.0" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|100px||100px|false|false" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|5px||5px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" custom_padding="0px||0px|||" global_colors_info="{}"]Clients participating in DBT can expect a highly structured, skill-building approach that combines individual therapy with group training sessions. The therapy is designed to help clients better manage their emotions, cope with distress, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. DBT emphasizes the importance of both acceptance and change, offering clients practical tools and strategies to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. The therapy requires active participation, including practicing skills between sessions, and is particularly effective for those struggling with intense emotional responses and impulsive behaviors.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" prev_background_color="#ffffff" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" background_color="#F1F1F1" top_divider_style="wave2" top_divider_height="50px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" custom_margin="25px|auto|80px|auto|false|false" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Contact Our Team

Therapist

Location: Online Only for Clients located in Rhode Island
 
I am a pre-licensed counselor with a master’s degree in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I spent the last 3 decades of my professional and private life facilitating healing on many different levels. I enjoyed working with people as a registered nurse, a yoga teacher (studio owner), and a Vipassana meditation teacher. I had the privilege of raising 4 children providing me plenty of opportunities to grow. I am a lifetime student of both the Western medical healing and holistic Eastern healing modalities.

My favorite therapy modalities are DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). While honoring my client’s needs, I bring my experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher into our sessions. I chose to become a counselor in my late 50’s because I feel immense joy when I can help someone on their healing journey. You probably noticed that Life is never easy and maybe you need help figuring things out or simply just breath in the middle of a storm. No matter the reason you are reading this, I am very proud of you for deciding to seek help. I sincerely congratulate you for that. It takes courage, openness, and honesty to reach out for help. I am excited about the possibility that you might choose me as your future counselor to facilitate your healing journey.
I consider myself most helpful for adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn’t require you to relive painful memories in detail. Instead, it uses a structured, eight-phase approach that helps your brain reprocess traumatic or distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" background_image="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Untitled-design-34.jpg" custom_padding="||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="||10px||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.4" min_height="98.8px" custom_margin="|auto||auto|false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" text_text_color="#09030a" text_font_size="22px" text_line_height="1.4em" header_font="||||||||" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_color="#F1F1F1" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" text_font_size_tablet="22px" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" inline_fonts="Montserrat" global_colors_info="{}"]During EMDR sessions, bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, gentle tapping, or sounds, helps both sides of your brain work together to “unstick” memories that have been trapped in the nervous system.

By stimulating both hemispheres of the brain while focusing on distressing memories, EMDR allows those experiences to integrate properly. Over time, the emotional charge diminishes, and new, adaptive beliefs (“I am safe,” “It’s over now”) replace old, negative ones (“I’m powerless,” “It’s my fault”).[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_button button_url="https://link.mytherapyflow.com/widget/survey/Jzj3SOLcnUy8IA2gUxjb" button_text="Free Consultation Booking" button_alignment="center" _builder_version="4.27.0" custom_button="on" button_text_size="13px" button_text_color="#ffffff" button_bg_color="#e1ad01" button_bg_color_gradient_direction="89deg" button_bg_color_gradient_stops="#ffcfaa 0%|#fa6eb9 100%" button_bg_color_gradient_start="#ffcfaa" button_bg_color_gradient_end="#fa6eb9" button_border_width="0px" button_border_radius="34px" button_letter_spacing="4px" button_font="PT Sans|700||on|||||" custom_margin="25px||||false|false" custom_padding="20px|40px|20px|40px|true|true" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="20px|30px|20px|30px|true|true" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" button_text_size_tablet="" button_text_size_phone="12px" button_text_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}" button_bg_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" button_bg_color__hover="#b7410e" button_bg_enable_color__hover="on"][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.27.4" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_margin="||30px||false|false" custom_margin_tablet="||30px||false|false" custom_margin_phone="||30px||false|false" custom_margin_last_edited="on|desktop" custom_padding="0px||0px||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="40px" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||20px||false|false" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Why Choose EMDR Over Other Modalities[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" text_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" text_text_color="#09030a" text_font_size="22px" text_line_height="1.4em" header_font="||||||||" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_color="#F1F1F1" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]While traditional therapies such as CBT or talk therapy can help you understand your thoughts and behaviors, EMDR goes deeper by addressing where trauma is stored,in the body and the nervous system.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="20px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|60px||60px|false|true" custom_margin_tablet="|20px||20px|false|true" custom_margin_phone="|10px||10px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" text_font_size_tablet="18px" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]
Faster results: Many clients notice meaningful relief in fewer sessions.
Less talking, more healing: You don’t need to describe every detail of your trauma to get results.
Whole-body impact: EMDR helps calm both mind and body, reducing anxiety, flashbacks, and physical tension.
Evidence-based: Endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Department of Defense for trauma treatment.

Expressive Arts Therapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates various forms of creative expression, such as visual arts, music, dance, drama, writing, and other art forms, to help individuals explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, and foster personal growth. This type of therapy is based on the idea that engaging in creative activities can help people access and express emotions that might be difficult to articulate with words alone.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="About" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_padding="30px||||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" use_custom_gutter="on" gutter_width="1" _builder_version="4.16" width="85%" max_width="85%" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Untitled-design-2.png" alt="Art therapy, Providence RI" title_text="Mermaid" _builder_version="4.27.0" custom_margin="|||-10vw|false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" background_color="#F1F1F1" custom_padding="35px|50px|35px|50px|true|true" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="|35px||35px|true|true" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_horizontal="-8px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.0" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="40px" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||20px||false|false" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]What to Expect in Expressive Arts Therapy[/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.16" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="2em" custom_margin="10px||||false|false" animation_style="slide" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"] 

Creative Exploration: Clients can expect to engage in various forms of artistic expression. The specific modalities used—such as painting, drawing, sculpting, movement, music, or writing—will depend on the client’s interests, comfort level, and the therapist’s expertise. The focus is not on artistic skill or creating a "finished product" but on the process of creation as a means of expression and exploration.

Non-Verbal Communication: Expressive Arts Therapy emphasizes non-verbal forms of communication. This can be particularly beneficial for clients who find it challenging to express their feelings verbally or who may not fully understand their emotions. Through art, clients can convey thoughts and feelings in a way that feels safe and natural.

Safe and Supportive Environment: The therapist creates a non-judgmental, supportive space where clients feel safe to explore their creativity and emotions. The emphasis is on self-expression and self-exploration, without concern for the artistic value or aesthetics of the work produced.

Integration of Art and Talk Therapy: While the primary focus is on creative expression, there is often a component of verbal processing in Expressive Arts Therapy. After engaging in a creative activity, the therapist may invite the client to reflect on their experience, discuss what the artwork represents, or explore the emotions that arose during the process.

Personal Insight and Healing: The creative process in Expressive Arts Therapy can lead to insights about oneself, uncovering subconscious thoughts and feelings, and facilitating emotional release. Clients may find new perspectives on their issues and experience a sense of healing and empowerment through the creative process.

Adaptability: Expressive Arts Therapy is highly adaptable and can be tailored to the needs and preferences of each client. It is suitable for people of all ages and can be particularly helpful for those who have experienced trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, or other emotional challenges.

Holistic Approach: This therapy considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—using creative expression as a way to access and integrate these different aspects of the self. The therapy may involve movement, breathwork, and other activities that engage the body, as well as the mind.

Assess the client’s understanding of the surgery and its risks, benefits, and long-term commitments.

 	
Evaluate psychological factors that could affect the clients’s ability to succeed post-surgery, such as motivation, coping strategies, and support systems.

 	
Identify any mental health conditions that need to be addressed before surgery, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance abuse.

 	
Ensure that the client has realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

Hannah (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Boston University, and additional training in yoga (200-hour RYT), trauma-informed care, and group therapy. She brings an integrative, humanistic, and existential approach to therapy, holding space for the full complexity of who we are as individuals shaped by relationships, systems, and culture.
She is especially passionate about working with clients navigating intersectional identities—those making sense of how race, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and culture interact and influence their mental health. Hannah supports adults who are healing from trauma, moving through life transitions, exploring identity, and managing stress or anxiety. Her practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in a social justice lens.
In working with Hannah, you’ll be invited to approach yourself with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Hannah integrates somatic and expressive therapies—such as guided visualization, breath work, or experiential exercises—where it feels helpful. Together, you’ll build a personalized toolbox of coping strategies, reflective practices, and values-based goals to support a deeper understanding of who you are and what matters most to you

EMDR is a comprehensive, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and experiences. Originally developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR has been proven highly effective in addressing a wide range of anxiety disorders. This includes generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias.

As defined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (2018), protection may be granted if an individual is in fear of being discriminated upon based on their race, religion, nationality, social group, and political views. At East Coast Mental Wellness, we can provide an in-depth assessment and immigration evaluation of the individual’s fear and needs. There is a Spanish-speaking clinician who may help individuals with this process.

Como definido por los Estados Unidos Ciudadania y Servicios de Inmigración (2018), (U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, 2018) protección podrá ser concedido si el individuo tiene miedo de ser discriminado base a raza, religion, nacionalidad, grupo social, y puntos de vista politicos.

This approach is based on the idea that our most important need is to be loved, to feel that we belong and that all other basic needs can be satisfied only by building strong connections with others. Reality therapy teaches that while we cannot control how we feel, we can control how we think and behave. The goal of reality therapy is to help people take control of improving their own lives by learning to make better choices.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Narrative Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/therapeutic-modalities/narrative-therapy/" url_new_window="on" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.0" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="2em" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Narrative therapy is a form of counseling that views people as separate from their problems. This allows clients to get some distance from the issue to see how it might actually be helping them, or protecting them, more than it is hurting them. With this new perspective, individuals feel more empowered to make changes in their thought patterns and behavior and “rewrite” their life story for a future that reflects who they are, what they are capable of, and what their purpose is, separate from their problems.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title="Motivational Interviewing" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/therapeutic-modalities/motivational-interviewing/" url_new_window="on" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.0" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="2em" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior.

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication. Depression can look different in everyone, so it is important to talk to a professional to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Anxiety is treatable with psychotherapy and medications both provided by professionals.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.

With the guidance of a credentialed art therapist, clients can “decode” the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Play Therapy" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.16" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="2em" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Although sometimes used with adults, play therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach primarily used to help children ages 3 to 12 explore their lives and freely express repressed thoughts and emotions through play. Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.

Immediate Openings
 

My name is Kaitlin Dobson, and I graduated from Johnson & Wales University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling M.S. program in May 2024, interning at East Coast Mental Wellness during this program. My undergraduate degree is in Human Development and Family Studies from American Public University, with credits transferred from Rhode Island College. I have previous experience working in the Emergency Department at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, volunteering with inpatient children at Hasbro Children’s Hospital and the Aubin Center, providing home-based therapeutic care to children with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and tutoring college students.
With clients, my priority is to provide a compassionate, empathetic space where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through a strength-based, client-centered approach. I will ensure that our sessions are a sanctuary where you are always safe, seen, and heard. I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals, helping you navigate life's challenges and transitions with self-compassion.
My therapeutic style is integrative, combining evidence-based practices from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with techniques and principles from positive psychology, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and narrative therapy. These modalities allow us to work collaboratively in understanding, coping with, and managing life stressors or any obstacles that may arise. During our sessions, we will assess which modalities will best benefit you and your therapeutic needs.
In addition to my role as a therapist, I serve as an academic success coach at the collegiate level, where I provide guidance on time management, organization, planning, study, and reading skills. I am happy to share these skills with you on the journey you are embarking on, whether academic, personal, or professional, or intertwined.
Together, through your motivation to change and our collaborative efforts, we will work toward a life that is fulfilling, rewarding, and uniquely yours. I am here to share the tools, support, and encouragement you need to thrive in life.

Immediate Openings
 
Hi, I am Katie Clark, a Master of Social Work candidate at Boston University, pursuing my passion for mental health and client-centered care. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of New Hampshire, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding human behavior and emotional well-being.

In addition to my work at ECMW, I have worked the last few years as a Mental Health Specialist at McLean Hospital, providing direct care to adults in an inpatient psychiatric setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals of all ages--from infants to adolescents to adults and older adults--as well as their families, supporting them through a range of mental health challenges. My experience includes crisis intervention, emotional support, and trauma-informed care in both hospital and community-based settings.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel; heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges. By tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs, I aim to help clients build resilience, develop coping skills, and work toward personal growth and healing. 
I will have my BCI and Professional Liability Insurance for you soon.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_margin="||75px||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" custom_padding_phone="||25px||false|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" use_custom_gutter="on" gutter_width="1" _builder_version="4.26.0" width="85%" max_width="85%" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" background_color="#F1F1F1" custom_padding="35px|50px|35px|50px|true|true" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="|25px||25px|true|true" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_horizontal="-8px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="40px" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||20px||false|false" custom_padding="0px|||||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="35px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Katherine's Treatment Modalities[/et_pb_text][dsm_icon_list list_vertical_alignment="flex-start" list_space_between="5px" _builder_version="4.27.5" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][dsm_icon_list_child text="Cognitive-behavioral therapy" icon_color="#276272" icon_font_size="24px" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/therapeutic-modalities/cbt/" url_new_window="on" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="1.5em" custom_margin="|||20px|false|false" custom_padding="5px||5px||true|false" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|desktop" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37"][/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text="Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy" icon_color="#276272" icon_font_size="24px" url="/therapeutic-modalities/mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy/" url_new_window="on" _builder_version="4.27.5" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="1.5em" custom_margin="|||20px|false|false" custom_padding="5px||5px||true|false" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|desktop" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37"][/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text="Client-centered approaches." icon_color="#276272" icon_font_size="24px" url_new_window="on" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_text_color="#D4AF37" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="1.5em" custom_margin="|||20px|false|false" custom_padding="5px||5px||true|false" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|desktop" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37"][/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text="Solutions Focused Therapy" icon_color="#276272" icon_font_size="24px" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/therapeutic-modalities/solution-focused-therapy/" url_new_window="on" _builder_version="4.27.0" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="1.5em" custom_margin="|||20px|false|false" custom_padding="5px||5px||true|false" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|desktop" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37"][/dsm_icon_list_child][/dsm_icon_list][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Book Your First Appointment

Immediate Openings

Hello and thank you for considering me for your counseling journey. I base my practice in choice theory, helping people remember that they have choices and options in their life. By taking care of ourselves first, we can be available for anything that comes our way. Life can be challenging, and with a little shift, we can turn challenges into opportunities.
I received my master's degree in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Salve Regina University, where I also earned a CAGS in Expressive and Creative Arts. As a lifelong musician, performer, and music teacher, I have found great catharsis through expression and welcome the privilege of guiding others through processes that illuminate blocks in their lives.

I am also a certified Rebirthing breathworker, Herbalist, and Expressive and Creative Arts facilitator.  The links below will illuminate where I have built my counseling career and what influences I bring for possibility into my practice.  
I believe each of us has everything we need inside of us to be whole, and I am here to help you love yourself once again, embrace your innocence, and live the life you want. So often we are told we need to be fixed, that we are broken. The reality is we are who we are, and we don’t need to be fixed. We need to be loved by ourselves and those around us. We can then love more freely and completely.
I specialize in working with people who are ready to do the work to live the life they want. There may be pain, suffering, fear, anxiety, depression or grief that is burdening you. I can help you meet these qualities safely, with curiosity, and eventually with love. I welcome all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities. 
While I am not an expert in all fields, I am experienced in life. I teach music to children aged 5 to adults in their 80’s and I can flow between them and their caregivers, strengthening the work being done by creating open lines of communication. Establishing core connection allows us to widen our support and continue creating the world in which we want to live. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to meet you soon.

Use your smartphone to record video of the interaction
Capture identifying details like agency names on vests, badge numbers, vehicle make and model, and license plates.
Comply with officers’ requests to move back, but continue recording from a safe distance. Your First Amendment right protects you when filming law‑enforcement in public spaces.
Write down everything you remember and collect contact information and copies of photos or video from other witnesses.

Alert local advocates or legal services about ICE activity.
Be prepared to share specifics: the exact location, number of agents, what they are doing, how long they have been there and any known details about the person being detained.
Familiarize yourself with common acronyms you might see on officers’ uniforms: “ICE” (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), “ERO” (Enforcement and Removal Operations), “CBP” (Customs and Border Protection) and “DHS” (Department of Homeland Security).
If you know the detained person’s family or emergency contact, call them so their support network is alerted.

Ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, walk away calmly; if you are under arrest, you have the right to know why.
You can refuse to answer questions – state that you want to remain silent.

Do not resist arrest, even if you believe it is unfair.
Say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately.
Don’t sign or agree to anything without your lawyer present.

Hello, my name is Kris. I practice from a humanistic-existential paradigm and believe every individual deserves dignity and respect with a right to mental health treatment that allows them to be the best version of themselves. My goal is to work with my clients to assist them in developing healthy skills in managing whatever adversity they are presently facing and add to their toolbox of resilience to manage whatever challenges the future might bring.  
I do not believe therapy can be provided off the rack as a one-size fits all approach. Every individual deserves a process as unique as they are that best fits their personalized treatment goals. In search of that mission, I tend to employ a “tapestry of modalities,” utilizing features from mindfulness-based CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and more. Ultimately the most important piece of the therapeutic relationship is trust, which I intend to build to provide each client a safe space to express themselves without fear of judgment.
Social work was a pursuit of passion as I made a career change in my early thirties. I graduated from Rhode Island College in 2018 with my MSW and have worked primarily in acute inpatient psychiatry at Rhode Island Hospital and Butler Hospital. I have experience with the LGBTQ+ community, older adolescents, adults, and geriatric adults with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and much more.

This was as a result of not being able to find a mental health provider for one of her students that was starting the process of transitioning. If she couldn’t find a provider for this one student, there must be many other individuals in the community who needed these services as well. Therefore, Melissa decided to start her own mental health agency with LGBTQ+ services open both for the LGBTQ+ community and others.

After opening East Coast Mental Wellness, word started getting out about the great LGBTQ+ mental health services the agency was providing to the community. To meet the high demand of patients, more clinicians who specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community or those who were a part of the community themselves were hired.

Breathwork therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is based on the idea that controlled and intentional breathing can help release stress, improve mental clarity, and facilitate emotional healing. Breathwork therapy encompasses various styles and approaches, including holotropic breathwork, integrative breathwork, rebirthing, and others, each with its own specific methods and goals.

Goal Setting: Life coaching emphasizes setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. The coach helps the client clarify what they want to achieve in various areas of life, such as career, relationships, health, or personal growth.
Action-Oriented: Life coaching is centered on taking action. The coach works with the client to develop practical strategies and action plans to reach their goals. This might involve breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable steps and consistently moving forward.
Accountability: A key component of life coaching is accountability. The coach holds the client accountable for the commitments they make, helping them stay on track and motivated. Regular check-ins ensure progress is being made, and any obstacles are addressed promptly.
Empowerment: Life coaching empowers clients by helping them recognize their strengths, build confidence, and take control of their lives. The focus is on helping clients develop the skills and mindset needed to overcome challenges and achieve success.
Personal Growth and Self-Discovery: While the primary focus is on goal achievement, life coaching also involves exploring the client’s values, beliefs, and motivations. This process of self-discovery can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Hello, I am a LCSW with a strong background in supporting individuals and families through complex emotional and behavioral challenges with over 10 years of field experience. 
I have experience supporting children, families, and adults in both child welfare and acute care settings. My work has involved collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to address complex emotional and behavioral needs, as well as supporting patients through psychiatric admissions, discharges, and emergency evaluations in hospital environments. 
I offer a calm, steady, and compassionate space where clients can explore anxiety, trauma, and family-related stress. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools that promote lasting growth and clarity. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started. Let's connect.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Marie, and I’m a recent graduate with a Master’s in Social Work. Prior to earning my MSW, I spent several years as a case manager supporting children, youth, and their families through complex and often challenging life experiences. This foundation helped shape my deeply empathetic, person-centered approach to care.
I believe healing begins with feeling heard and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. My work is grounded in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to support clients in identifying patterns, building resilience, and moving toward meaningful change.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, or simply seeking support and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and intention.

Immediate Openings

I have been in the field of mental health and working as a therapist since 2011, pursuing this profession with great passion. I have had the privilege and honor of working with diverse populations, using an approach that focuses on the individual. I continue to gain insight, knowledge, and skills within the field of mental health and recognize the importance of continuing education. I have always been drawn to understanding the human condition and the behaviors that may contribute to an individual’s personal struggles. I believe that the therapeutic process is highly beneficial and effective in providing healing, self-insight, wisdom, understanding, acceptance, knowledge, and so much more.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16"

She/Her/Hers

Counselor 

Location: Online Only for Clients located in Rhode Island

Immediate Openings

My name is Melissa Gonzalez, and I am an experienced clinical social worker with a strong background in family systems, mental health, and trauma-informed care. I support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and identity-related concerns, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.
I earned my MSW from Rhode Island College in 2023 and have worked across multiple settings, including inpatient behavioral health units. I have supported youth and adults across the lifespan through individual counseling, psychoeducation, and therapeutic group interventions.
I am especially passionate about working with clients navigating high-stress systems and major life disruptions. My goal is to help them build coping skills, insight, and resilience while honoring their strengths and lived experiences.
My clinical approach incorporates techniques such as mindfulness, visualization, and goal-oriented therapy to promote well-being and functional outcomes. I am committed to supporting individuals and families in achieving meaningful, sustainable growth through compassionate, client-centered care.

My name is Mike, and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I have several years of experience working in a variety of different settings, from PHP/IOP to schools, EOS, and outpatient practices. I have worked with individuals and groups of all ages with Autism profiles, Anxiety Disorders, and Mood Disorders, substance use, and Trauma Disorders. I also have experience working with adolescents and adults in the LGBTQ+ Community, as well as undergraduate/graduate students, especially student-athletes, who juggle many different responsibilities, and can experience a variety of stressors. As a former student-athlete myself, I understand both the gifts and challenges that can come with managing a busy schedule in this role. 

I have experience utilizing a variety of different treatment modalities, including CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, as well as Social-Emotional Learning.

 I embrace a client-centered, and strengths-based locus of treatment that is solution-focused, and meets the client where they are at. I believe in always taking a Systems Theory and Reality Theory approach to treatment, as well as applying a heavy emphasis on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to help individuals in their journey towards self-acceptance and self-actualization. 

In addition to my work at ECMW, I’m also an Outpatient Clinician at Social Sparks, Inc. I’m also an Autism Advocate, guest speaker, and writer/blogger on various Online platforms and virtual podcasts. 

In my spare-time, I’m an avid long-distance runner at a competitive level. I run in road races for a Boston-based track club, and also enjoy cycling and hiking. I always encourage regular exercise and outdoor time to anyone who I work with, in the hopes that everyone can experience the healing benefits of a calm mind and body, and being present in nature. 

I earned a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Rhode Island College in 2016. I also hold a B.A. In Psychology from Rhode Island College as well (2012).

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices. It is designed to help individuals prevent the recurrence of depression and other mental health issues by increasing awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in the present moment. MBCT teaches clients how to break the cycle of negative thinking that can lead to depression and anxiety, fostering a greater sense of calm and well-being.

Mindfulness Practices: Clients will engage in various mindfulness exercises, such as guided meditation, body scans, and mindful breathing. These practices are designed to help clients become more aware of the present moment, including their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, without judgment.

Awareness of Thoughts and Emotions: A key component of MBCT is learning to observe thoughts and emotions as they arise, without getting caught up in them. Clients are encouraged to notice their mental patterns and understand how these patterns can influence their mood and behavior. The goal is to develop a non-reactive awareness, allowing clients to see thoughts as passing events rather than facts that need to be acted upon.

Integration of Cognitive Therapy: MBCT incorporates elements of cognitive therapy, particularly the focus on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns. Clients learn how their thoughts can contribute to emotional distress and are taught strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns. However, unlike traditional cognitive therapy, MBCT emphasizes observing thoughts rather than directly challenging them.

Structured Sessions: MBCT typically follows an 8-week program with structured sessions. Each session has a specific focus, such as mindful breathing, dealing with difficult emotions, or preventing relapse. Homework assignments, such as daily mindfulness practice, are an important part of the therapy, helping clients integrate mindfulness into their daily lives.

Group or Individual Settings: MBCT can be offered in both group and individual therapy settings. Group sessions often provide a supportive environment where clients can share experiences and learn from each other, while individual sessions allow for more personalized guidance.

Relapse Prevention: One of the primary goals of MBCT is to prevent the recurrence of depression, particularly in individuals who have experienced multiple episodes. By cultivating mindfulness and awareness, clients learn to recognize early signs of depression or anxiety and develop healthier responses, reducing the likelihood of relapse.

Developing a Different Relationship with Thoughts: Clients will work on developing a new relationship with their thoughts and feelings, one that is characterized by acceptance rather than resistance or avoidance. This helps reduce the impact of negative thinking and fosters a more balanced and compassionate way of relating to oneself.

Increased Emotional Regulation: Over time, clients often experience improved emotional regulation. By learning to observe their emotions without immediate reaction, they can choose how to respond more effectively, rather than being driven by automatic emotional responses.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, directive therapeutic approach designed to enhance a person’s motivation to change by helping them explore and resolve ambivalence. It is particularly effective for individuals who are struggling with making decisions about change, such as quitting an addictive behavior, adopting healthier habits, or pursuing personal goals. MI is grounded in the principles of empathy, collaboration, and respect for the client’s autonomy.

Collaboration: MI is a collaborative conversation between the therapist and the client, where both work together as partners. The therapist does not act as an authority but rather as a guide, helping the client explore their thoughts and feelings about change.
Evocation: Instead of imposing reasons for change, the therapist uses MI techniques to draw out the client’s own motivations and strengths. The focus is on eliciting the client’s ideas and reasons for change, rather than the therapist providing solutions.
Autonomy: MI emphasizes the client’s autonomy and acknowledges that the power to change lies within the client. The therapist respects the client’s right to make their own choices and supports their ability to make decisions that align with their values and goals.
Ambivalence: MI recognizes that ambivalence about change is a normal part of the process. The therapist helps the client explore this ambivalence in a non-judgmental way, allowing the client to weigh the pros and cons of change and ultimately find their own path forward.

It is grounded in the idea that individuals construct their identities through the stories they tell about their experiences. The therapy focuses on helping clients identify and reframe these narratives to empower them, often by externalizing problems—seeing them as separate from the self—and understanding how these stories influence their lives and relationships.
In Narrative Therapy, the therapist collaborates with the client to explore the dominant stories that shape their life and to uncover alternative stories that highlight the client’s strengths, skills, and potential. This approach encourages clients to rewrite their stories in a way that reflects a more positive and empowered self-concept, fostering a sense of agency and resilience. Narrative therapy is often used to address a range of psychological issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|tablet" admin_label="Features" _builder_version="4.16" background_color="#F1F1F1" overflow-x="hidden" overflow-y="hidden" custom_padding="0px||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" make_equal="on" _builder_version="4.16" max_width="1200px" custom_padding="0px||||false|false" box_shadow_style="preset4" box_shadow_horizontal="30vw" box_shadow_vertical="0px" box_shadow_color="#C4CACE" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet="0px" box_shadow_horizontal_phone="" box_shadow_horizontal_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="35px" header_2_line_height="1.2em" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_padding="60px||||false|false" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]What to Expect During Narrative Therapy [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.0" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|5px||5px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]

Collaborative Relationship: The therapist will work with the client as a collaborator rather than an expert. The focus is on exploring the client's experiences and stories together, with the therapist facilitating rather than directing the process.

Externalizing the Problem: In Narrative Therapy, problems are viewed as separate from the person. The therapist will help the client externalize the issue, often by giving it a name and discussing it as something outside of themselves. This process helps to reduce feelings of blame and shame and allows the client to view the problem more objectively.

Exploring Dominant and Alternative Stories: The client will explore the dominant narratives that have shaped their identity and experiences, particularly those that may be limiting or problematic. The therapist will also help the client discover alternative stories—narratives that highlight their strengths, values, and abilities, which might have been overshadowed by the dominant story.

Rewriting Personal Narratives: The client will be encouraged to re-author or rewrite their personal narratives in a way that reflects their preferred outcomes and a more empowered sense of self. This process can involve identifying moments when the client acted in ways that contradict the problem story, thus creating new, more positive narratives.

Focus on Meaning-Making: Narrative Therapy places a strong emphasis on the meaning the client gives to their experiences. The therapist will help the client reflect on these meanings, question unhelpful interpretations, and create new, more constructive meanings that support their well-being.

Empowerment and Agency: The overall goal of Narrative Therapy is to empower the client by helping them see themselves as the authors of their own stories. Clients often leave therapy with a greater sense of control over their lives and a stronger belief in their ability to shape their future.

Use of Questions and Conversations: The sessions will likely involve a lot of open-ended questions from the therapist designed to help the client explore their stories deeply. The therapist may ask about the origins of certain beliefs, how the problem has impacted their life, and times when they have successfully resisted the problem.

Overall, clients in Narrative Therapy can expect a respectful, non-judgmental environment where they are encouraged to explore and reshape their personal narratives in a way that promotes healing and personal growth.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Untitled-design.png" alt="couples therapy" title_text="Untitled design" show_bottom_space="off" _builder_version="4.27.0" box_shadow_style="preset4" box_shadow_horizontal="20vw" box_shadow_vertical="25vw" box_shadow_color="#276272" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|100px||100px|false|false" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|5px||5px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" prev_background_color="#ffffff" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" background_color="#F1F1F1" top_divider_style="wave2" top_divider_height="50px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" custom_margin="25px|auto|80px|auto|false|false" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Contact Our Team

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

East Coast Mental Wellness is committed to client confidentiality. Personal Health Information(PHI) is kept confidential and not shared without your written consent. However, there are circumstances when mental health professionals are required by law to disclose PHI without your consent. In such situations, your clinician is not required to inform you of their actions. Please note the following include some but not all, exceptions to confidentiality.
 

Confidentiality does not apply when there is knowledge of potential harm to oneself or others. Your clinician may need to contact a family member, emergency rescue or law enforcement to ensure your safety and/ or the safety of others.
Confidentiality does not apply when there is knowledge of suspected abuse/neglect of children or the elderly.
Confidentiality does not apply to cases involving criminal proceedings, except communications by a person voluntarily involved in a substance abuse program.
A mental health professional may disclose confidential information in proceedings brought about by a client against said professional
Confidentiality may not apply in cases involving legal proceedings involving the parent-child relations- hip.

East Coast Mental Wellness will make every effort to keep your PHI as private as possible and only disclose what is necessary for the above situations.
Insurance and managed care companies require PHI including diagnosis, symptoms, treatment goals, prognosis, evaluation of progress, and other information before reimbursement is considered. Such companies may also maintain the right to have a copy of your records. Your written authorization will be obtained at the onset of treatment.
In order to provide outstanding care, it is often necessary to communicate with your other providers who can help complete your medical history. Gathering information from selected sources including family, significant other may provide the most accurate assessment of your current needs. East Coast Mental Wellness will obtain your permission before contacting anyone outside the office, with exceptions to the circumstances listed above when confidentiality does not apply.
 
The office staff at East Coast Mental Wellness may also have access to your PHI for the purposes of scheduling, mai- ntaining medical records, taking messages, and when communicating with insurance companies for prior authorization and claims reimbursement. All staff is required to sign a nondisclosure agreement and training prior to working with PHI to ensure that your information is handled appropriately and is kept confidential.
 
Breach Notification:
East Coast Mental Wellness is required by law to notify you if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your protected health information.
 

Right to Restrict Disclosure to Insurance (Self-Pay Services):
If you pay in full for a service out-of-pocket, you have the right to request that information related to that service not be disclosed to your health plan. East Coast Mental Wellness is required to honor this request unless disclosure is otherwise required by law.
 
You have the right to file a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. Complaints may be filed with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. Filing a complaint will not affect your care.
Website: www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/
 
Uses and disclosures requiring your authorization.
Generally, all uses and disclosures other than those listed above will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke your authorization by submitting a written notice to our intake department at intake@eastcoastmentalwellness.com or via mail to the address below. Your revocation will be effective as of the date of receipt of our written notice.

Notify you if we are unable to agree to a requested restriction on how your information is used or disclosed;
Accommodate reasonable requests to communicate PHI by alternative means or to alternative locations;

East Coast Mental Wellness reserves the right to change its information practices and to make the new provisions effective for all protected PHI it maintains. Revised notices will be made available to individuals covered by East Coast Mental Wellness within 60 days of a material revision.
 
Termination of Services
East Coast Mental Wellness has the right to terminate services if the clinician feels like their treatment modality is not therapeutically appropriate or if the clinicians feels like the client is in need of a higher level of care. Treatment may also be canceled if there is more than three no-shows, late cancelations (less than 24 notice), or late arrive to session (more than 15 minutes) within a three month period.  The clinician will make an attempt to make a referral for a more appropriate provider. Please note, this does not guarantee that the referred providers can take on a new client.
 
Paperwork Completion Fee:
Requests for completion of external forms, letters, or other documentation by your therapist or clinician that require 5 minutes or more will be subject to a $50 fee. This fee covers the time required for professional review and documentation.
 
Electronic Communication/ Patient Portal
You will be invited to utilize the patient portal to sign documents and pay your bill.You will also have the ability to email your clinician on a secure web-based interface that is encrypted, HIPAA compliant and automatically a part of your medical record.
 
Please be aware that communication with your clinician via personal email and text message is not secure and puts your privacy at risk. Communications via email and text message are not encrypted but still become part of your medical record. Any text or email initiated by yourself is implicit consent to receive communication by our office within the same medium.
**PLEASE DO NOT contact the clinician via SMS (text) if therapeutic intervention is needed, please request a sooner appointment time by sending an email, calling 402-227-0372, or wait until your already scheduled appointment time. For emergencies, contact 911.
 
Social Media, Online Interaction, and Public Review Policy
To protect your privacy and maintain clear professional boundaries, East Coast Mental Wellness clinicians do not accept friend requests, follow clients, or engage in personal interactions on social media. Being connected online or interacting publicly with your clinician can reveal your professional relationship and compromise your confidentiality. Your clinician will not confirm or deny any therapeutic relationship on social media or any public platform and may remove online connections without notice to protect your privacy.
East Coast Mental Wellness maintains public social media accounts to share information, resources, and practice updates. You are welcome to view, like, and share content from these pages. However, we do not use social media for therapy communication or scheduling due to limited privacy protections.
Clients may choose to leave public reviews on platforms such as Google, Facebook, or Yelp. Please understand that doing so may publicly identify you as a therapy client and may reveal health information that cannot be withdrawn once posted. We cannot respond to reviews in a way that confirms or discusses your care due to confidentiality laws.
If you have concerns or negative feedback, we encourage you to speak with us directly so that we can address your experience privately, respectfully, and appropriately.
This policy is intended to protect your privacy and support a safe, ethical therapeutic relationship.
 
Requesting Medical Records
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you have the right to access and obtain a copy of your medical records. To request your records, you must complete and sign a Release of Information (ROI) form. Once the request is received, we will process it within 30 days, as required by law. In certain cases, we may extend this timeframe by an additional 30 days, and you will be notified in writing if an extension is necessary.
 
If you believe there is an error in your medical record, you have the right to submit a written request for an amendment. If your clinician determines that the record is accurate, no changes will be made; however, a statement of your concerns will be added to your file.
 
To ensure the security of your protected health information (PHI), records can be provided via secure electronic transmission, printed copies, or mailed to a designated address, based on your preference. Fees may apply for copying and mailing services in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.
 
Additional Protections for Substance Use/Dependency (SUD) Treatment Records:Records of SUD diagnosis or treatment are protected by federal law (42 C.F.R. Part 2). These records cannot be used in legal proceedings or disclosed without your written consent or a court order, even if they are included in your general medical record. Consent for disclosure cannot be combined with general consents for treatment or payment, and SUD counseling notes require a separate authorization similar to psychotherapy notes. 
 
Record Retention
East Coast Mental Wellness maintains patient records for at least seven (7) years after the most recent patient encounter, as required by the Rhode Island Department. Records may be retained longer in accordance with federal or insurance requirements.
 
Letters/Forms
Clients frequently request forms and letters for school, work, insurance, disability, or medical treatment. If time permits, brief forms will be completed during your allotted appointment time. Simple forms or letters requiring 5 minutes or less can be done outside of the appointment. Longer forms or letters may require an additional appointment or an extra fee (self-pay).
 
Health Insurance/Fees:
At East Coast Mental Wellness, not all clinicians are paneled on every insurance. Please ask your clinician or intake department about what specific insurances your clinician takes. Since Clinicians are independent contractors of East Coast Mental Wellness, they choose their fees and rates. Some clinicians offer a sliding scale. Please speak to your clinician regarding sliding scale fees. Your clinician may be an out-of-network provider for some of the insurance companies. You can contact your insurance company to determine whether your plan includes out-of-network benefits. You will need to know if you have out-of-network benefits, the amount of deductible for your out-of-network befits that you are responsible for and the dollar reimbursement amount for the following codes.

Initial Evaluation: 90791(Sometimes take more than 1 visit)
Individual sessions: 90837 or 90834
Family Session: 90847
A session with Family member without client: 90846
Couples Therapy: 90847
Group Therapy: 90853

You will be given a receipt for the services provided to submit to your insurance company with all necessary information if you choose to pay out of pocket. Insurance that included out-of-network benefits reimburses 20-90% of fees.
 
Financial Responsibility
Payment is due at the time of service unless other financial arrangements have been made prior to treatment. Most insurance plans have an annual deductible which must be met before insurance reimbursement begins. If you have a deductible, this is your responsibility to pay in addition to all fees incurred that are not covered by your insurance. Please see No show fees and late cancellation Polity for explanations of fees
 
No Show/Late Cancel Appointment Policy
East Coast Mental Wellness is committed to providing treatment for our clients. In order to do this, consistency with care and regularly scheduled appointments are necessary. We maintain a waitlist of individuals in dire need of care. Due to these facts, the following apply:

Any appointment NOT canceled within 24 hours will be considered a late cancellation.
Any appointment late-canceled or no-show appointments will be assessed a missed fee of $60.00. Late fees are the responsibility of the client and are not covered by the insurance company. Any fees must be paid in full prior to your next appointment.
Payment plans can be made for the fee. If you miss a payment, you will not be able to schedule your next appointment until arrangements are made
3 late-canceled, no-show appointments or late arrival (later than 15 minutes to scheduled sessions) in a 3-month period are grounds for termination from treatment.
If your child is participating in our School-Based Program, we ask that you call the office at 401-277-0372 to inform your child’s clinician if your child will not be attending school. 3 absentees in a 2 month period are grounds for termination.

 
Card on file policy:
At East Coast Mental Wellness, we require that all clients provide a form of payment (“Card on File”) to cover any remaining balance after insurance has processed the claim for services rendered. This policy ensures smoother transactions, allowing us to efficiently manage billing and collect payments for our services in a timely manner.
 
Exceptions to the “Card on File” policy include:

Clients covered by Medicare or Medicaid

Accepted forms of payment for the “Card on File” include:

Health Savings Account (HSA)
Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Debit Card
Credit Card

Please note, all payment information is securely stored using encrypted and tokenized systems.
 
Good Faith Estimate Notice (for Self-Pay Clients):
Under the federal No Surprises Act you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for services if you are uninsured or choose to self  pay. Upon scheduling or at your request, we will provide a written estimate outlining the expected services, their CPT/HCPCS codes, the clinician’s fees and any other anticipated. This estimate is not a contract; actual charges may vary. You may dispute a bill if the actual charges substantially exceed the estimate.
Please ask your clinician or the billing department for more information.

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication. Depression can look different in everyone, so it is important to talk to a professional to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.

Immediate Openings

My name is Rachel. I received an MA in Holistic Mental Health Counseling at Salve Regina University. I have worked with folks who have anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, social anxiety, life transitions, trauma histories, and anyone who is trying to find their way in the world. I work with folks who are monogamous and those who are consensual non-monogamous.
I am here to help walk alongside you in your journey. I look at the whole person and take into account the mind, body, and spiritual needs. Our work together is teamwork.  I hope to create a warm, empathetic, and judgement-free space where I integrate evidence-based modalities such as ACT, DBT, mindfulness, expressive arts, somatic therapy, and EMDR to help you achieve your goals.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" admin_label="How It Works"

Breathwork therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is based on the idea that controlled and intentional breathing can help release stress, improve mental clarity, and facilitate emotional healing. Breathwork therapy encompasses various styles and approaches, including holotropic breathwork, integrative breathwork, rebirthing, and others, each with its own specific methods and goals.

Basic Needs: Reality Therapy is grounded in the idea that all human behavior is aimed at fulfilling five basic needs: love and belonging, power, freedom, fun, and survival. The therapy focuses on understanding how a client’s behavior is an attempt to satisfy these needs.

Choice and Responsibility: Central to Reality Therapy is the concept that individuals are responsible for their own behavior. The therapy encourages clients to recognize the choices they are making and to take responsibility for these choices rather than blaming others or external circumstances.

Focus on the Present: Reality Therapy emphasizes the here and now. Rather than dwelling on past events or experiences, the therapy focuses on current behaviors and thoughts, and how these can be changed to improve the client’s situation.

Problem-Solving: The therapy is action-oriented, focusing on developing practical solutions to problems. Clients are encouraged to identify behaviors that are not working and to explore alternative behaviors that might better meet their needs.

Self-Evaluation: A key component of Reality Therapy is helping clients evaluate their own behavior. Clients are asked to consider whether their current actions are helping them get what they want and whether these actions align with their goals and values.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on developing the social and emotional skills necessary for individuals to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, make responsible decisions, and navigate social environments effectively. SEL therapy is often used with children and adolescents but can be beneficial for people of all ages. It draws on the principles of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), which is commonly used in educational settings to promote emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.

Self-Awareness: This involves helping clients recognize and understand their own emotions, thoughts, and values. Developing self-awareness is the foundation for better emotional regulation and decision-making.

Self-Management: SEL therapy teaches clients how to regulate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations. This includes developing coping strategies for managing stress, controlling impulses, and setting and achieving goals.

Social Awareness: Clients learn to understand and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Social awareness involves recognizing social cues, understanding social norms, and appreciating different perspectives.

Relationship Skills: SEL therapy emphasizes building and maintaining healthy and rewarding relationships. This includes skills like effective communication, active listening, cooperation, conflict resolution, and seeking and offering help when needed.

Responsible Decision-Making: Clients are guided to make choices that are respectful, ethical, and considerate of the well-being of themselves and others. This involves evaluating the consequences of actions and understanding how decisions align with personal and social values.

Socratic Method Therapy, also known as Socratic questioning or Socratic dialogue, is a therapeutic technique that involves the use of guided questioning to help clients explore their thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions. This approach is rooted in the philosophical method developed by Socrates, where the goal is to stimulate critical thinking, uncover underlying beliefs, and facilitate self-discovery. In therapy, the Socratic Method is often used to help clients challenge unhelpful or distorted thoughts and develop more rational, adaptive thinking patterns.

Guided Discovery: The therapist uses open-ended, thought-provoking questions to help the client explore their beliefs and assumptions. Rather than providing answers, the therapist encourages the client to arrive at their own insights and conclusions.

Challenging Assumptions: Socratic questioning helps clients identify and examine the validity of their underlying assumptions and beliefs. By questioning the evidence for and against these beliefs, clients can begin to see where their thinking might be biased or irrational.

Promoting Insight: The process of questioning encourages clients to reflect deeply on their thoughts and feelings, leading to greater self-awareness and understanding. This can help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to emotional distress.

Developing Rational Thinking: The ultimate goal of Socratic Method Therapy is to help clients develop more rational, balanced thinking. By challenging distorted thoughts and replacing them with more realistic ones, clients can reduce anxiety, depression, and other forms of psychological distress.

Developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg in the 1980s, SFT is based on the belief that clients have the resources and strengths within themselves to resolve their issues, and the therapist’s role is to help them recognize and build on those strengths.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="About" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row disabled_on="off|off|on" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" width="100%" max_width="100%" custom_padding="0px||0px||true|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" use_custom_gutter="on" gutter_width="1" _builder_version="4.16" width="85%" max_width="85%" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Untitled-design-68.jpg" alt="providence therapy" disabled_on="on|on|off" _builder_version="4.16" custom_margin="|||-10vw|false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.16" background_color="#F1F1F1" custom_padding="35px|50px|35px|50px|true|true" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="|25px||25px|true|true" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_horizontal="-8px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.0" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="center" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="50px" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="40px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]What to Expect during Solution-Focused Therapy[/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.16" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="2em" custom_margin="10px||||false|false" animation_style="slide" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]

Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: SFT emphasizes what is working well and how clients can do more of it. Instead of exploring the root causes of issues, the therapy focuses on identifying and implementing effective solutions.

Goal Setting: Clients are encouraged to articulate clear, specific, and achievable goals. The therapy sessions are structured around working toward these goals.

Strengths and Resources: SFT highlights the client’s strengths, resources, and past successes. The therapist helps the client recognize and utilize these assets to overcome current challenges.

Brief and Time-Limited: SFT is typically a short-term therapy, often lasting only a few sessions. The approach is designed to create positive change in a relatively brief period.

Positive Language and Future Focus: The therapist uses positive language and focuses on the client’s desired future rather than dwelling on past failures or difficulties. This helps clients envision a future where their problems are resolved.

Miracle Question: A common technique in SFT is the "miracle question," where the therapist asks the client to imagine what their life would look like if a miracle happened and their problem was solved overnight. This helps clients identify their goals and the steps needed to achieve them.

People sometimes notice that stress, trauma, and emotional pain do not only affect their thoughts. They can also affect the body through tension, restlessness, shutdown, exhaustion, or feeling constantly on edge. East Coast Mental Wellness offers somatic therapy as a body-aware approach that helps individuals better understand how their experiences may be showing up physically and emotionally. Through somatic therapy, clients can begin to develop a stronger sense of safety, regulation, and connection with themselves.
Somatic therapy can be incorporated into treatment in a safe and supportive environment. This approach helps individuals notice body sensations, nervous system responses, and patterns of stress while learning tools that support grounding and healing.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|tablet" admin_label="Features" _builder_version="4.27.6" background_color="#F1F1F1" overflow-x="hidden" overflow-y="hidden" custom_padding="||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" make_equal="on" _builder_version="4.27.6" max_width="1200px" custom_padding="||||false|false" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet="0px" box_shadow_horizontal_phone="" box_shadow_horizontal_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.27.6" custom_css_free_form="@media (max-width: 1024px) {||selector {||  order: 1;||  }}" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.16" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="35px" header_2_line_height="1.2em" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_padding="60px||||false|false" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Somatic Therapy is beneficial for[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_text_color="#0a0303" text_font_size="18px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|5px||5px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]

Individuals who have experienced trauma or overwhelming life events

Individuals with chronic stress or anxiety
Individuals who feel disconnected from their body or emotions
Individuals who experience panic, tension, or emotional shutdown
Individuals who are looking for a more holistic approach to therapy

Somatic therapy can help individuals understand how stress and trauma may continue to affect the body, even after the experience has passed. This approach can be especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, numbness, or hypervigilance.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.27.6" background_enable_image="off" custom_css_free_form="selector{||  align-content: center;||}" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/somatic-therapy-bg2.webp" title_text="somatic-therapy-bg2" align="center" force_fullwidth="on" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_enable_image="off" height_tablet="" height_phone="" height_last_edited="on|phone" custom_css_free_form="selector img{||object-fit: cover;||}" box_shadow_style="preset1" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.1)" global_colors_info="{}" height__hover_enabled="on|desktop"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" make_equal="on" _builder_version="4.27.6" max_width="1200px" custom_padding="||||false|false" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet="0px" box_shadow_horizontal_phone="" box_shadow_horizontal_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.27.6" background_enable_image="off" custom_css_free_form="selector{||  align-content: center;||}" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/therapy-in-beach.webp" title_text="therapy-in-beach" force_fullwidth="on" disabled_on="off|off|off" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" height_tablet="" height_phone="" height_last_edited="on|desktop" custom_css_free_form="selector img{||object-fit: cover;||}" box_shadow_style="preset1" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.1)" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.27.6" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="50px" header_2_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_text_color="#276272" header_2_font_size="35px" header_2_line_height="1.2em" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" custom_padding="||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="||||false|false" custom_padding_phone="||||false|false" custom_padding_last_edited="on|desktop" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_2_font_size_tablet="" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Treatments at a glance[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_font="||||||||" text_text_color="#0a0303" text_font_size="18px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|5px||5px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]Trauma Treatments
Trauma can affect the way a person feels, thinks, and responds to daily life. It may also affect the nervous system and the body in ways that feel overwhelming or difficult to explain. Somatic therapy helps individuals notice these responses and work toward feeling more grounded, safe, and regulated.
Anxiety Treatments
Anxiety is often experienced not only in thoughts, but also in the body. Individuals may notice a racing heart, muscle tension, restlessness, or difficulty relaxing. Somatic therapy helps individuals become more aware of these patterns and develop tools to better manage stress and anxiety.
Stress and Burnout Treatments
Chronic stress and burnout can leave individuals feeling exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed. Somatic therapy can help individuals reconnect with their body, recognize early signs of stress, and build healthier ways to respond to emotional and physical overload.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_font="|--et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||" text_text_color="#0a0000" text_font_size="18px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="||||||||" header_3_font="Playfair Display|700|||||||" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Clients participating in somatic therapy can expect a safe, body-aware approach that bridges the connection between the mind and the body.

Although he has most experience with young people and emerging adults, Stephen is eager to work with people who hold a range of identities and experiences.
A firm believer in the power of individual storytelling, Stephen is inclined to a therapeutic practice based in narrative, self-exploration and empathy.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16"

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication. Depression can look different in everyone, so it is important to talk to a professional to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Anxiety Treatments" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Anxiety disorder is characterized as experiencing chronic and intense feelings of fear or worry.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art. With the guidance of a credentialed art therapist, clients can “decode” the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]MBCT is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication. Depression can look different in everyone, so it is important to talk to a professional to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Anxiety Treatments" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Anxiety disorder is characterized as experiencing chronic and intense feelings of fear or worry.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_text_color="#ffffff" global_colors_info="{}"]All definitions of therapy techniques are taken from PsychologyToday.com[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_margin="||-4px||false|false" custom_padding="||1px|||" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_text_color="#020202" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Getting Here[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|100px||100px|false|true" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|25px||25px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]Our office is located at 1 Richmond Square #350W, Providence, RI 02906, USA.Convenient for clients coming from North Providence, Johnston, Smithfield, and Lincoln.Plenty of free parking.

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_text_color="#ffffff" global_colors_info="{}"]All definitions of therapy techniques are taken from PsychologyToday.com[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_margin="||-4px||false|false" custom_padding="||1px|||" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_text_color="#020202" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Getting Here[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|100px||100px|false|true" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|25px||25px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]Our office is located at 1 Richmond Square #350W, Providence, RI 02906, USA.Convenient for clients coming from North Providence, Johnston, Smithfield, and Lincoln.Plenty of free parking.

Many people begin therapy when anxiety feels hard to control, relationships feel strained, or life transitions create emotional pressure. Our practice supports individuals and couples who want a confidential, professional space to process what they’re going through and build tools that help in real life—not just in session. We commonly work with stress, depression, burnout, relationship conflict, trauma-informed healing, and challenges with boundaries and self-confidence. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, therapy can help you regain clarity and stability—step by step.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="2_5" disabled_on="on|on|off" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" next_background_color="#ffffff" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#276272" background_image="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/wellness-bg.webp" background_size="initial" bottom_divider_style="wave2" bottom_divider_height="40px" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" custom_padding="0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_text_color="#ffffff" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_text_color="#ffffff" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_text_color="#ffffff" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Book Your First Appointment

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art. With the guidance of a credentialed art therapist, clients can “decode” the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]MBCT is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6"

Risk factors of depression include personal or family history of depression, major life changes, trauma, or stress, as well as certain physical illnesses and medications. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy” and medication. Depression can look different in everyone, so it is important to talk to a professional to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Anxiety Treatments" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Anxiety disorder is characterized as experiencing chronic and intense feelings of fear or worry.

The shifts usually occur in “highs,” also known as mania, and “lows,” known as depression. There are four types of bipolar disorder that each have different specifications: bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and bipolar disorder due to another medical or substance abuse disorder. Treatment for bipolar disorder includes medications to control symptoms and episodes, with the addition of psychotherapy to provide support, education, and guidance to those with the disorders as well as their family members.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ffffff" custom_padding="30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" border_width_all="2px" border_color_all="#276272" box_shadow_style="preset2" box_shadow_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.11)" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_blurb title="Art Therapy" url="https://www.eastcoastmentalwellness.com/individual-therapy/" use_icon="on" icon_color="#276272" icon_placement="left" _builder_version="4.27.6" header_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_text_color="#276272" header_font_size="20px" header_line_height="1.2em" body_font="PT Sans||||||||" body_line_height="1.5em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="||0px|||" animation_direction="top" global_colors_info="{}" icon_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" icon_color__hover="#D4AF37" header_text_color__hover_enabled="on|hover" header_text_color__hover="#D4AF37"]Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.

Therapeutic play normally takes place in a safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_text_color="#ffffff" global_colors_info="{}"]All definitions of therapy techniques are taken from PsychologyToday.com[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="off|desktop" admin_label="How It Works" _builder_version="4.16" background_enable_image="off" background_size="initial" custom_margin="||-4px||false|false" custom_padding="||1px|||" custom_padding_tablet="0px||0px||true|false" top_divider_color="#C4CACE" bottom_divider_color="rgba(196,202,206,0.5)" bottom_divider_height="170px" background_last_edited="on|phone" background_enable_image_tablet="off" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.16" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.16" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="2em" header_font="PT Sans||||||||" header_3_font="PT Sans|700|||||||" header_3_text_color="#020202" header_3_font_size="50px" header_3_line_height="1.2em" text_orientation="center" max_width="800px" max_width_last_edited="off|phone" module_alignment="center" custom_margin="||16px|||" text_font_size_tablet="" text_font_size_phone="16px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="40px" header_3_font_size_phone="30px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Getting Here[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.6" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" text_font_size="15px" text_line_height="1.8em" text_orientation="center" custom_margin="|100px||100px|false|true" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="|25px||25px|false|true" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]Our office is located at 1 Richmond Square #350W, Providence, RI 02906, USA.Convenient for clients coming from North Providence, Johnston, Smithfield, and Lincoln.Plenty of free parking.

Therapist

Location: Rhode Island and Florida Online 

My treatment approach is a reflection of what I’d seek out in a therapist; someone whose methods are provocative and challenging, yet non-judgmental and practical. My therapeutic process promotes insightful thinking, problem-solving, and meaningful behavior change.
Therapy sessions focus on enhancing perceptive, self-regulation, and resiliency skills. My clinical approach involves the use of CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the wealth of wisdom I’ve accrued from clients themselves.
I specialize in working with adult and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem issues, trauma, acceptance, and life-changing events.
In addition to seeing clients at ECMW, I work as a clinical director at Family Service of Rhode Island, with a focus on community health. I completed my undergraduate work at Brown University and received a Master’s in Social Work from Rhode Island College.
