Hi! I am so happy you have decided to think about talking to a counselor. It's a brave first step! Most people believe they have either have to be "crazy" or to wait until things are really bad to talk to someone. The reality is, no one is actually "crazy," people just have different challenges they face and handle in different ways. It's also never "too soon" to talk to a counselor-the sooner you talk with someone the less likely it will be that your difficult feelings or challenging experiences will get worse. It's much easier to feel better when you aren't feeling you are at your worst. Just to clear the stereotypes, the goal of therapy isn't to "fix" anyone. Therapy is meant to help them think things through differently. If you are looking at my site, I'm guessing you are struggling with something and the reality is you may be coping the best you can but you DESERVE TO FEEL BETTER. I can't make everything in your life different but I can help you figure out better ways to interact within your life and the people who are in it. To introduce myself, my name is Julie Belmont. I am a social worker who is licensed in Massachusetts and Maine. I split my time between medical social work and adoption/infertility social work. I have extensive experience working with parents of chronically ill children as well as young adults coping with the challenges of chronic illness. For the past three years I have worked intensively with patients struggling with obesity including those considering bariatric surgery but also have a strong understanding of diabetes and epilepsy. I have also spent many years working within the entire circle of infertility and adoption. I have worked extensively with women considering placement of a child for adoption as well as couples moving through infertility treatments, considering adoption, working through the adoption process and settling in as new parents post adoption placement. I take a holistic, eclectic approach to therapy including motivational interviewing and solution focused work. I have extensive training in mindfulness and try to incorporate alternative modalities into my work (basic talk therapy isn't the right fit for everyone!). I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Natalie Jones, I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I made a mid-life career change after working for many years in the business world. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Wheelock College in Boston. I started working in Human Services when I made the transition from working in the field of business. I’ve worked with children and families over the past 14 years, most recently with older adults. Much of my experience has been with clients faced with life’s challenges and the uncertainty of change. Many of my clients have carried the emotional pain of childhood trauma, addiction, emotional distress, depression and anxiety. Treatment Interventions can vary from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Guided Imagery, Motivational Coaching and The Cycle of Change Model. As a therapist I value the type of honest relationship that can grow over time. I believe a therapist needs to provide a safe, nurturing space to express difficult emotions. I believe in the art of listening and caring to achieve optimum empathy and compassion for the client. I value open mindedness, being non-judgmental and I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your inner most thoughts. I strive for clients to feel comfortable expressing their thoughts freely including hopes and dreams. I believe in helping clients to set realistic goals and work as a team to achieve them.
