Carolee Rada, LP — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Carolee!

Whatever brings you to therapy is real and valid. I'm committed to helping you explore, process, and resolve painful experiences, thoughts, emotions, and patterns that interfere with your quality of life. Together, we'll work through what's holding you back.

My focus

I specialize in working with Veterans and active-duty service members experiencing trauma. I've worked with diverse cultures and populations, and I understand the unique challenges that come with military service, cultural identity, and intergenerational patterns.

My approach

I integrate strategies from multiple perspectives to help you work through difficult experiences and reach your goals. My approach draws from psychoanalytic, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and relational treatments. I treat trauma, dissociation, depression, mood disorders, and anxiety.

My communication style

Clients describe me as warm, inviting, supportive, and genuine. Attuned listening is at the heart of my approach, but I'm not hesitant to offer insights and suggestions for healing. I create a safe, empathetic space where trust can grow and healing can unfold.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've spent my career working with children, adolescents, college students, and adults. My specialty in trauma led me to focus on Veterans and active-duty soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress. Working with diverse populations deepened my understanding of cultural challenges.

My goals for you

Goal setting should be collaborative with realistic expectations. If goals are set too high, clients may feel like they're failing. Together, we'll create achievable steps that honor where you are and where you want to go.

Our first session

Therapy should be authentic and personalized to meet you wherever you are right now. That begins in the first session by gaining an understanding of what brought you into therapy. We'll explore your concerns and start building a path forward together.
