Getting to know Rita Peirce
Hi and welcome! My name is Rita Peirce, and I am a Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Boston College. I have been providing therapy to a wide variety of people and ages for many years now. I specialize in working with teens and young adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, and/or anger. So many people experience overwhelming emotions that can impact their daily lives, relationships, and overall well-being, so you are not alone.
My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, creating a space where we can explore the root causes of stress or emotional turmoil and develop strategies to manage them. We will work together to build resilience and emotional awareness. You'll have a space where you can be open, ask questions, and explore the issues affecting you without judgment.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to fostering growth and healing. As I get to know you, I will tailor my approach to fit your unique experiences and goals. I also enjoy being creative, using outlets like art or journaling when appropriate to help explore and express emotions in new ways. I look forward to working with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session will be all about getting to know each other and building a relationship. You get to lead the way in terms of topics to discuss or not discuss and I work collaboratively with you to set goals that that feel relevant and achievable.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use multiple different styles of therapy to make sure that the needs of each specific client are the priority. When possible I like to use art and games to make sure the sessions feel comfortable and approachable. Depending on what we are working on we may be learning and practicing new coping skills, talking about any barriers you may be experiencing, or processing what is happening for you.
