I am currently unable to accept new clients at this time. 

Hello and Welcome!  Deciding to seek therapy is a big step in the process to healing, and I'm glad you are here.  I work with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and adjustment to life transitions; specializing in cancer, chronic illness, and caregiver support.  I want to offer a safe environment where we can build trust & relationship, highlight and expand strengths you already have, and enhance self-awareness & coping skills. 

I practice with an integrative treatment approach to therapy, tailoring my approach to each individual.  My core focus combines person-centered, psychodynamic, and strengths-based frameworks.  Additionally, I incorporate modalities such as mindfulness, guided meditation, breathing exercises, and music therapy interventions when appropriate.

I have practiced as a clinician at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, CA and Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, specializing in oncology care,  and also carry 10 years of experience as a music therapist. 

New clients, please send me an email to set up an initial appointment at maryellen@mcollamorelicsw.com or use the Request Appointment link below and I will follow-up with you.   I am currently offering virtual telehealth sessions to clients located in MA, NC, and CA.
