Anxiety and Depression Therapy in Saugus, MA
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common reasons people seek therapy and they can also be two of the most isolating experiences. You might find yourself stuck in constant worry, feeling like you’re on edge all the time, or completely drained and unmotivated. Some days, even getting out of bed or answering a text can feel like too much.
We help clients slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to rebuild their relationship with themselves. Whether your symptoms are new or something you’ve lived with for a long time, therapy can offer tools, insight, and a path forward.
Therapy can support you in:
Managing overwhelming thoughts or constant worry
Finding motivation and energy again
Rebuilding your confidence and sense of self
Learning new coping tools that actually work
Understanding how past experiences may be shaping your present
We take a personalized approach, combining evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Brainspotting, and mindfulness strategies based on your unique needs and goals.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. We’re here to meet you where you are, help you make sense of what you’re going through, and walk with you as you move toward feeling more grounded, connected, and in control.

Sometimes it can be helpful to pause and reflect on what you’ve been experiencing. The brief self-check tools below are commonly used screening questionnaires for anxiety and depression. They are not diagnostic, but they may offer insight into whether symptoms are impacting your day-to-day life.
