Welcome!

Counseling or therapy is an intimate process, a unique and cooperative effort. The decision to enter therapy/counseling is an investment in your future. It is important work that often changes the course of a relationship and/or a person's life. With twenty years of experience in the field counseling individual adults, adolescents and couples, I bring expertise in a variety of areas and truly love the work that I do. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems are very common. We all experience times when we feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed, preoccupied, or at a crossroad in our lives. Giving yourself the opportunity to talk openly -- with a neutral, non-judgmental and experienced professional can help you to move ahead.

The counseling process calls for safety, trust and teamwork requiring one-to-one meetings over the course of time to build a therapeutic relationship. I don't allow managed care and insurance companies to dictate the frequency or time allowed for treatment. That's something for you and me to determine together. Some problems can be addressed successfully in a relatively short time. Others require more in-depth work. I provide you with a safe, confidential atmosphere that allows you to better manage the challenges of life and relationships. Each person and couple is unique and different and finding the best style and approach to help achieve one’s individual goals is a decision we make together because that is what makes the therapeutic relationship successful.

If this philosophy of counseling makes sense to you, simply call or e-mail me to discuss your situation in confidence. Because therapy is going to be an important, life changing experience for you, I offer a FREE 30 minute phone or in person consultation to give you a chance to get to know me and determine if working together is the best course of action.

Mandy Tolson is a graduate of Boston University and Tufts University and has over 20 years experience in counseling. She is a licensed psychotherapist and specializes in several types of counseling.

"What I value most is the individuality and uniqueness of each person that comes to see me. Almost always there is an issue of changing or improving certain areas in one's life. My approach is to help individuals or couples understand and explore their concerns while guiding them and assisting them in developing new skills that allow them to move forward to where they want to be."
