Insightful Minds Therapy
Accepting new clients. In our practice you will experience a warm and welcoming environment. Are you struggling with stress? Are trying to find balance again? My goal is to help you discover your strengths and reconnect with the person that you are. I am passionate about working with people who struggle to get through their day to day for a myriad of reasons including their relationships with others, overall stress, and feelings of anxiety or depression.
Jeannette Smith, LCSW
I work best with college women who are thoughtful, driven, and often putting a lot of pressure on themselves to get things right. You may be struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or boundaries, even when you seem confident and capable on the outside. Maybe you overthink decisions, worry about disappointing others, or have a hard time knowing what you actually want or need. Often, these struggles don’t come out of nowhere. Past trauma, abuse, or painful relationships, especially sexual or emotional abuse, can shape how you see yourself, trust yourself, and connect with others. You may find yourself putting your needs aside, keeping the peace, questioning your feelings, or struggling to feel safe and secure in relationships. My private practice focuses on helping teen girls and young adult women heal from complex trauma. I bring more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field and advanced training in trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR and Brainspotting, along with IFS-informed parts work and somatic interventions. Together, we can better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped you while helping you trust yourself, find your voice, set healthier boundaries, and build more secure relationships. My hope is that you grow in confidence and experience greater freedom to move forward with a stronger sense of who you are and who you were made to be.

Mark Blanchard / Blindspot Psychology Group
You’re thoughtful, capable, & accomplished, yet something doesn’t feel quite right. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Perhaps the same patterns keep repeating or life feels harder than it should. You may have tried pushing through or relying on self-help books, advice from others, or prior therapy without resolution. Many of the adults, teens, & couples I work with are looking for more than quick fixes or symptom relief alone. They want to understand why they struggle & reach a place where they can experience greater insight, confidence, direction, & inner peace. I’m a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist, researcher, & educator specializing in psychodynamic therapy. I work with complex problems across the lifespan, drawing on advanced training in personality, attachment, trauma, & relational functioning. I provide psychological testing for diagnostic clarification & offer dating consultation & clinical supervision. Finding the right fit matters. Whether you're pursuing personal growth, healing from old wounds, or seeking something different from past care, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, & supported, while also gaining perspective. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to see whether working together might be helpful.

I have worked with a wide variety of populations, including, young children, adolescents, at-risk teens, adults, and families across multiple settings. I believe that the human psyche is rooted in nature and that a reconnection with the natural world can be a catalyst for deep healing. I take an individualized, client-centered approach and am experienced in an eclectic range of high-quality healing modalities, including: solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-oriented approaches, relational & narrative therapies. I base my practice on the belief that symptoms of disorders are rooted in impaired relationships with yourself, with significant others, as well as the natural world. As a result, true healing will only occur within the context of relationship, and nature. I pride myself on having a positive, empowerment-based, and life-affirming approach to healing. I embody a therapeutic process that is collaborative, nurturing, intuitively guided, and rooted in ecological systems theory. I strive to combine compassion for individuals and the environment with inherent wisdom to deliver a high-quality healing experience that is unique for every person or family that I serve.

Above all, we’re committed to creating a safe, affirming space for every identity and lived experience. At the heart of what we do is identity-affirming therapy. This approach honors and validates a person’s lived experience, identities, relationships, and communities. It actively addresses the harm caused by racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, and ableism, while recognizing your identity is a source of strength, culture, and resilience.

Our team of social workers, counselors, marriage & family therapists, and interns use a wide range of therapy approaches to meet your specific needs. Note: We know there is a lot of stigma associated with seeking therapy. Maybe even you, dear reader, believe therapy is something to be ashamed of. We do not believe this at all.

Therapy can be a place for you to find healing, learn skills, and share what is on your mind and heart with an objective, empathetic, and trained specialist – and so much more.

Nick Tock
What if your difficult emotions could be seen as an opportunity for growth instead of as a weakness? It’s true that suffering is universal, but with the right perspective you can learn to see that as a gift; a source of energy you can use to propel you towards your life’s goals and eventual contentment. Many seek to find happiness by changing their circumstances, but I hope to show you that if you find acceptance first the circumstances you want will come to you more naturally. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my clinical practice, focusing primarily on being conscious of the thoughts that drive our behavior and accepting life’s circumstances before moving on to change them. I’ll work with you at the pace you are comfortable, whether you are looking for shorter solution-focused therapy or serving as a longer-term support. My calling is working with depression and anxiety, but I’m also proficient working with addiction, grief, existential concerns, and family therapy; particularly with families who have children with behavioral concerns.
