What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

A therapy session with me is based on your needs in that moment. We will start out with some light catching up about the things that have gone on in your world between sessions. This helps to set the tone and ease you into the items you want to address that day. Sometimes we will go deep and others will be more about practice and skill building.

I'm dedicated to helping others discover and challenge things that no longer serve them. I will help you examine habits, patterns, and events in terms of how they have shaped you and work with you to find exciting ways to move forward.

Our first session, and maybe two, looks like me getting to know you and understanding your symptoms/difficulties through a diagnostic assessment. It is a lot of answering questions so I can have a great understanding of how to best help you. After the intake session, I welcome clients to do a check in with me. What has been going well this past week, and what difficulties are you still having? Then we spend time processing current and past life events that are negatively impacting clients' mental health. I then help you develop goals to work towards over the next week. 

Hello! My name is Lacie and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I strive to help the hopeless and hurting find healing to live a fulfilling life. 

Therapy sessions with me are collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. We start by discussing your goals and concerns in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

I am Dr. Jon-Michael A. Saenz, a committed psychiatrist with extensive training and experience in managing severe mental illnesses and mood disorders. I obtained my medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed my psychiatry residency at Tufts Medical Center. Following this, I pursued a fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry, where I specialized in treating substance use disorders, personality disorders, as well as severe mania and psychosis. A major part of this training is the ability to clearly communicate complex issues to both patients and others outside the mental health field. My professional experience includes working at Bridgewater State Hospital, Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital, and the Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, where I refined my skills in addressing a diverse array of mental health conditions. My practice is grounded in a patient-centered approach, always striving to provide individualized and compassionate care. I hold medical licenses in both North Carolina and Massachusetts and possess certifications that enable me to prescribe specialized treatments, including controlled substances and Suboxone. My dedication to excellence in psychiatry has been recognized through multiple Outstanding Resident Teacher Awards during my residency. My mission is to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of my patients, and I am here to support you on your journey to improved mental health.

When it comes to life, every person has his or her own experience, perspective, and feelings about him or herself, others and the world. Because of this, I take an existential and personalized approach to therapy. An existential perspective is grounded in the concept that all of humanity face similar experiences, fears and challenges to help an individual know that he or she is not alone in his or her suffering. Because we are unique individuals, however, the existential approach focuses on the individual exploring his or her own past and current experiences to help develop a sense of freedom and responsibility to achieve a higher level of meaning and well-being.
