Colleen is a masters-level therapist at Lightwork Therapy and Recovery and will be working at our Braintree location! Colleen employs an evidence-based, integrative approach to therapy, honoring that treatment is most effective when tailored to each client’s unique experience, culture, and current circumstances. By rooting herself in a foundation of person-centered and trauma-informed theoretical modalities, Colleen creates a safe, warm, and authentic holding space during sessions that embodies unconditional positive regard and allows for growth through non-judgmental self-exploration. Colleen builds on the strength of the therapeutic relationship by incorporating appropriate interventions informed by dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, empowering clients to apply the skills they’ve learned in the therapy space throughout daily life. Outside of the therapy room, Colleen finds fulfillment through baking, exploring local hiking trails, and trying out fun new dinner spots.
