Samantha Tremlett
I enjoy working with college students and young adults as they navigate the challenges of emerging adulthood. My work with college students is rooted in a deep understanding of the stressors they often face—academic pressure, social anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the transition to greater independence. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and build greater self-awareness. My approach draws from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailored to each individual’s goals and needs. I am passionate about helping young adults feel empowered in their decision-making, manage anxiety and mood concerns, and improve their overall well-being during this pivotal stage of life.
Maryanne Colleran Bowe, LICSW
Empowering You to Resiliently Grow. I’m a therapist who loves providing counseling services to individuals, especially young adults. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I’m passionate about helping people find balance and confidence in their daily lives. Whether you’re facing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or family stress, I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s been difficult and begin the process of growing through it. You deserve a space where you can be heard and process the many changes that come with increasing independence, such as living in close proximity with peers. Whether you’re managing anxiety, ADHD, academic stress, social stress, depression, trauma, or difficulties with family members, I’m here to help you uncover what’s holding you back so you can move toward solutions and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I combine therapeutic methods like CBT, DBT, ACT, Trauma-Focused, Narrative, Family Systems, and Attachment-Based therapies to meet your unique needs and goals. I'll help you consider your thoughts, feelings, and tools to build self-awareness and strengthen your ability to manage life’s ups and downs with confidence. Book a 15-minute consultation now—I'd love to meet you!
Jacqueline Senn
M y name is Jacqui Senn and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor whose client base is made up of people who are struggling with transitions/ changes in their lives they cannot manage on their own. Some are facing an increase in their anxiety due to the amount of things they want to accomplish, while others feel as though they are not where they are supposed to be. And others are trying to navigate both of those things while managing relationships.

I was on the staff at the Child Psychiatry Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital as well as faculty of Harvard Medical School for more than 25 years.

SRG Therapy Group PLLC
I started SRG Therapy Group because I believe everyone deserves access to a therapist who truly gets them — not just whoever happens to have an opening. Our intake process is personal. We take the time to understand what you're going through before we make a match. Every clinician in our network is vetted, licensed in Massachusetts, and committed to showing up for you with warmth and expertise. We accept insurance, we move quickly, and we genuinely care about your outcome. Starting therapy takes courage, and my goal is to make that step feel safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I work with older teens, adults, couples, and families who want to feel less overwhelmed and more confident in themselves and their relationships. I believe everyone has the ability to improve self-esteem, manage emotions more effectively, and develop stronger coping skills. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I combine insight with practical, evidence-based tools to help you move forward. I also hold a degree in Accounting and bring that background to support individuals and couples around financial wellness, budgeting, and life planning.
Sarah Rosenstein
In my work I am dedicated to supporting clients who are facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. I see therapy as an opportunity to identify goals and problem-solve the roadblocks that have stalled obtaining them. I believe that treatment is a partnership between client and therapist. Whether it’s identifying negative thinking patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or incorporating mindfulness, radical acceptance, and distress tolerance with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT); the supports I offer are based on your needs and goals.

Sara E Rosin Counseling
Considering starting therapy? I’d love to help! I have been providing therapy to students and young adults for over 20 years. For most of my clients, many aspects of their lives are going smoothly but they struggle in other areas: could be the academic demands of school, uncertainty about identity and belonging, navigating conflict with peers with different opinions, a complicated work environment, or a challenging relationship with a friend, roommate, family member or romantic interest. Whatever the reason, I seek to create a therapy relationship where we can talk openly about challenges, discuss multiple perspectives and explore ways to manage the emotions and discomfort they are experiencing. Not sure if I’m the best therapist for you? No worries, feel free to send me a message and we can schedule a 15 min phone call so I can answer any of your questions. Maybe we'll schedule a meeting or if not, you have learned more about what kind of therapist you are seeking. It can feel scary and vulnerable to ask for help, but I believe it is a strength to know when you need a therapist to help you get through a challenging time. We all get stuck sometimes; it’s just part of being human. A therapist can help you weather the ups and downs of life and help you create the life that matches your vision.

Do you need help making your self-care a priority so you can feel less overwhelmed and more in charge of your life? I help my clients to eat better, sleep better and feel better by making small habit shifts that lead to positive results in health, energy, focus, mood, and relationships. Working with me will feel more like coaching where you will get doable next steps to take rather than being analyzed by a silent therapist. Reach out to discuss your situation and see if we are the right fit to help you reach your goals.
