Hello & Welcome! My name is Shaleta and I am a licensed therapist, specializing in women's issues. Whether it’s planning a family, a career change, or simply changing daily habits to improve your overall life; change and unexpected challenges can be difficult to process. I can certainly attest that life has its unexpected curveballs.
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.
As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with being truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and deep respect for every journey. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and begin to find your way forward with understanding and compassion. With me, all emotions are valid- sarcasm, anger, fear, and tears are all welcome.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief in all its forms, new motherhood, life transitions, sex and relationship issues, confidence struggles, medical trauma, and the complex realities of caregiving- some of which I have personal experience with. These experiences can bring feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and exhaustion. Together, we’ll work to untangle those emotions, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of balance and purpose.
As an independently licensed LICSW, I bring years of experience and a calm, steady presence to my work. My practice is collaborative and person-centered. No person is the same and neither are the strategies and research-based methods I use with each client. We will work together to identify your goals, explore your strengths, and create a plan that amplifies YOU. I view therapy as a partnership built on trust and the belief that you have the capability to change your life with a little bit of guidance. I often use a blend of somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I understand that life can be busy. I offer evening and weekend appointments to make support more accessible and convenient. Don't see a time that works for you? Just ask!
Change can be challenging, and healing often unfolds in its own time. You don’t have to walk that path alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.
Katharine is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in outpatient, school, and hospital settings. She specializes in helping emerging adults (18-29) and adults (30-65) navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions through compassionate, skills-focused therapy that builds resilience, clarity, and confidence—inside and outside of session.
Each day, you support vulnerable people at their worst, but now something within you feels broken—crushed by chronic stress, relentless demands, and hostile systems that undermine your efforts—and help seems out of reach. You might feel consumed by worry, unable to disconnect, and never fully present at home. Or, your own body might be rebelling against you, with chronic pain that worsens each day. You may be facing an impossible choice: between your work and everything else. With over a decade of experience in state-funded human services, I’ve been there, too. I specialize in helping professionals like you navigate these struggles.
I offer practical, trauma-sensitive, confidential therapy to professionals who help others (e.g., public defenders, healthcare workers, and therapists). Together, we’ll sort through the chaos, clarify your priorities, and use concrete strategies to repair what matters most, so you can live out your own vision of a full, meaningful life.
I am a bilingual English Spanish psychotherapist and clinical consultant in New York with extensive experience in outpatient mental health settings and in private practice. Relational trauma, dyadic work with parents and babies, life transitions like divorce, loss, coping with college related challenges and entering the workforce, and in general anxiety and depression have been at the core of my clinical work.
I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-prepared, dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience caring for individuals with both medical and mental health needs. I provide comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric care with a focus on medication management and holistic treatment.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, and other mood-related conditions. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative. I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
I strive to create a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns.
With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and over 6 years serving the Worcester community, I’m a licensed LMHC who brings warmth, curiosity, and a good sense of humor into the therapy room. I work with youth and families using a mix of modalities, and brief solution-focused approaches, and I’m especially committed to creating an open-minded, affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and diverse communities.
