Our Community

Jeff Pesaturo, LMHC
Owner, LMHC

You are not your symptoms. Too often we describe ourselves as anxious or depressed, allowing these experiences to become part of how we define ourselves. These are not who you are; they are terms used to describe what you may be experiencing. With genuine commitment and the right support, these challenges can be understood and overcome.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression or difficulty adjusting to life’s many transitions. With more than twelve years of professional experience across a variety of settings, I bring a compassionate and individualized approach to each therapeutic relationship.

We will work to create a space where you feel heard and empowered to move toward the life you want. I look forward to the opportunity to learn, grow and work alongside you.

Practice Manager

I am dedicated to creating a supportive, organized, and responsive experience for both our patients and clinicians. I serve as a primary point of contact for questions and concerns, working to address each one promptly and thoughtfully.

I also oversee the practice’s insurance and billing processes, including managing insurance claims, coordinating payments with insurance companies, and assisting patients with billing and payment related questions. My goal is to make the administrative side of care as smooth and stress-free as possible, so our clinicians can focus on providing high quality care and our patients feel supported throughout their experience with the practice.

Life is full of unpredictable, amazing, and sometimes overwhelming twists and turns. No one should feel alone navigating through them and everyone deserves a safe space to recreate their road map.

Just because you feel stuck or discouraged right now, does not mean you will feel that way forever. I specialize in working with clients who are ready to get real with themselves and directly address their self-limiting thoughts and beliefs.

Together we will work toward uncovering the biggest obstacles and how to tackle them to build a sense of strength and empowerment.

My approach is empathic and firm and ensures that my clients are doing the real work building lasting change in their lives for the better. I will push you to be your best self and support you every step of the way.

Real change takes real work and I am not the type of therapist that will enable you to stay stuck. If you are ready to be challenged, to explore how to make progress, feel better, and even how you may be limiting yourself, reach out today. It would be my pleasure to start this journey with you!

If you are looking for a warm, welcoming place to discuss any issue, thought, or problem you've been dealing with without judgment or closed-mindedness, then I could be a great fit for you! I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and am licensed as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts. I have a friendly and laid-back personality, and I'm always eager to help. I incorporate a lot of humor into my general approach; however, I am also very comfortable working through serious and difficult subjects in a calm and supportive manner.

We'll typically start by talking about my career background and approach to therapy, and then we'll focus on your intake form and what brought you here seeking support. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about therapy, my experience, or the treatment process.

I also run a very free-flowing type of session, with minimal structure. This is great for some people, but not a perfect fit for everyone. I definitely encourage feedback on anything I can do differently to help you.

Sometimes life can seem difficult, sometimes you feel as though your words are not coming out right, sometimes you feel as though your voice is not being heard, sometimes we feel overwhelmed or misunderstood and sometimes we just don’t feel happy. During those moments, it is important to have a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss your stressors and find support in identifying tools to utilize to find balance to lead you to your road of living a happy and healthy life.

Ultimately, I enjoy supporting others to engage in self-exploration so that they can feel encouraged to live the life they want to live. My specialty includes empathetically working together with my clients to support them in navigating their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My approach combines motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I will tailor our sessions and treatment plans to meet you where you're at and serve your specific needs.

If you’re feeling stuck in a life transition, weighed down by anxiety or depression, or simply overwhelmed by everyday stress, you’re not alone. Therapy is a space where you can pause, reflect, and start making sense of what’s getting in the way of feeling like yourself again. ​ ​I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward change, I've been there too. You don't have to do it alone.

My approach is collaborative, grounded in compassion, and warm. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and build practical tools to help you manage stress, improve relationships, and move through life with more ease and confidence. The result? Living a life where you feel more grounded, self-aware, and empowered

Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, seeking clarity, or ready to grow, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in creating a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

Life can be challenging, but finding someone who is compassionate and caring shouldn't be. If you are navigating challenging life transitions, struggling with managing symptoms on your own or just need someone to bounce your thoughts off of, I can help. I believe that therapy is best when it is done in a collaborative and trusting relationship, which is why I lean into a client-centered approach that meets you exactly where you are. Not every session has to be hard work and scary, but every session should mean something.

I specialize in working with adolecents and adults having difficulty managing life transitions, OCD and anxiety, as well as couples who may be undergoing challenging life transitions. We will work together to identify your strengths and how they can be useful in navigating your symptoms.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe. I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you.

I’ve had the privilege of helping adolescents and young adults find their footing through life’s ups and downs. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), my work focuses on supporting clients through transitions—whether that’s adjusting to college or adulthood, managing stress, building coping skills, or navigating challenges in parent–teen relationships. Life changes, big or small, can stir up anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain insight, and develop tools that help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

I bring warmth, empathy, and honesty to every session. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process—one where we work together to understand what’s getting in the way and find realistic, meaningful ways to make change. I’ll meet you where you are, listen carefully, and help you build on your strengths.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to adjust to a new chapter in life, I’m here to help you find balance and resilience at your own pace.

Collaboration and meeting clients where they are at is where we begin the therapy journey, and I feel so privileged to help support and empower clients to be their best selves, to work through any challenges or life transitions they may be experiencing. And to make choices that lead to a place of peace and full potential. I have been a therapist for over 20 years, and the last several doing all telehealth. Some of the issues I work with include stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions/changes, grief/loss, family issues, parenting, school, friendship and relationship/marital issues, job issues, women's issues, etc.

I have a very calm and straightforward approach. I am compassionate, while also helping to challenge clients to make decisions that empower them and further their growth and potential. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Psychoanalytic, and Motivational Interviewing.
