The Center for Effective Therapy is an outpatient center that focuses on short-term, high-quality evidence-based treatment. With locations in Boston and Waltham, we aim to provide families with the tools they need to succeed.
I work collaboratively with clients to help them in their path towards growth and healing. With acceptance, authenticity, and empathy, I believe that psychotherapy is a process of developing greater self-awareness and igniting personal change. I am committed to creating a warm therapeutic environment for you. My specialties include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and young adult transitions. I have advanced training and experience in trauma-informed approaches, including internal family systems, EMDR, somatic (body-based) techniques, mindfulness, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I focus on each client's strengths and embrace a holistic model of care. As an expressive arts therapist, I offer the option of incorporating the arts into therapy sessions. I believe that the use of the expressive arts can assist in self-expression and inspire deeper self-awareness. *Please note that I am not taking insurance at this time. I am also happy to provide superbills for OON reimbursement!
Libby Flavin, MSW, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Van Dusen Nutrition®. Libby currently works full-time in the Needham office and sees clients for individual in person and virtual psychotherapy sessions. Libby’s mission is to provide a safe space for individuals to reclaim the aspects of their lives that an eating disorder has taken away from them. Her approach is authentic, non-judgmental, and honest. Libby believes in full recovery and that by trusting the process and bettering relationships with self and others, it is possible. Libby received a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology from the University of Rhode Island. She then completed her MSW at Boston College, specializing in mental health. Libby’s clinical internships consisted of in-home therapy services, academic counseling, and eating disorders at both the partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. Following her graduation from Boston College, Libby then went on to continue developing her skills in the treatment of eating disorders at Walden Behavioral Care in Braintree, MA where she ran group therapy, meal monitoring, and provided individual and family therapy to adolescents and young adults. Libby is an active member of the National Association of Social Workers and Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association.
Sara is an experienced practitioner offering individual therapy for adults and adolescents. She helps individuals understand how past experiences affect thinking and choices in the present. Her approach also offers skills to manage difficult emotions, increase flexibility and build balanced relationships so clients can move their lives in the direction they want. Treatment will prioritize the understanding that individual needs and experiences occur at the intersection of gendered, sexual, racial, class, ethnic, spiritual and ideological identities. The reality that every brain and body works differently is also centered in treatment.
Hello! I'm glad you're here! Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed with school and life? Having a hard time finding balance in your life?
