Are you struggling with worry, sadness, and school/job or relationship issues?  Are you dealing with self-injury and suicidal thoughts?  Are you feeling so overwhelmed juggling work, aging parents, and a troubled teenager?  Are you dealing with divorce or loss of loved one?

I have ten years of experience working with adolescents (grades 6-12), adults and families.  I primarily treat adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, self injury, and borderline personality traits/disorder.  When treating adolescents, my approach includes the family for purpose of support, education, and strengthening skill development.  I also work with adults and families dealing with issues of divorce and loss of a loved one.

I’m extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps clients accept one’s emotions and behaviors while moving towards change.  DBT uses meditation-like practices and helps people stay in the present moment, become less judgmental, and more effective in dealing with painful emotions and relationships.

You can reach me at 617-639-0566 or becky@beckykosterman.com.  I look forward to talking with you.
