Getting to know Marykate Shorter
Meet Marykate
Hello, I'm Marykate, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Massachusetts. With 17 years of clinical experience, I have had the privilege of working with adults, adolescents, children, and families in both individual and group counseling settings. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, couples issues, family relationship issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, domestic violence, trauma, unemployment, disability, and school performance issues.
My clinical approach is integrative, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe in looking at your current situation from a strengths perspective, helping you to identify and utilize the strengths you already possess to navigate your path forward. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Specializing in areas such as ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, children's and adolescent mental/behavioral health, life transitions, perinatal support, PTSD, intimate/romantic relationships, stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression, I am equipped to help you address a variety of concerns. Whether you're dealing with family relationship issues or navigating a significant life change, I am here to provide the support and guidance you need.
Connection to others is a fundamental human need, and I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Our sessions will be a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and together, we will work towards achieving your personal goals.
Outside of my professional life, I value the importance of balance and self-care. I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
