Creating Compassion.

The Artful Life Counseling Center believes in using a client-centered, strengths-based and collaborative approach, working with each client or family to create a personal treatment plan that fully addresses our clients' needs.

Our therapists use evidenced-based approaches rooted in the latest research and guidelines. All of our therapists are masters-level trained and are licensed or supervised by a licensed mental health counselor or social worker in the state of Massachusetts.

We are a trauma-informed practice, specializing in treating the whole person, through a developmental, environmental and sociological lens. ​
