Find a therapist in Massachusetts — covered by insurance

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, providing comprehensive mental health care across diverse populations. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health emergency settings, partial hospitalizations, IOP, recovery care, community psychiatric care. I also have experience supporting dually diagnosed patients with co-occurring medical conditions, giving me a broad perspective on the complex interplay between mental and physical health.

I earned my PMHNP degree from Post University and hold PMHNP licensure in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to evidence-based care, while continuously seeking opportunities for professional development and growth in the mental health field.

I create a space where you feel deeply heard and understood — but also gently challenged to grow.

I work with individuals who are ready to move beyond surface-level conversations and truly understand what’s keeping them stuck. As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish), I bring a culturally sensitive and deeply attuned perspective to our work together. I understand the complexity of navigating identity, relationships, and emotional patterns, especially within diverse cultural contexts.

With over a decade of experience, I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship patterns.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will truly listen — and also guide you toward real, lasting change — we may be a strong fit.

WHO I WORK BEST WITH

I work best with individuals who:

• Are ready to take accountability for their growth
• Feel stuck in recurring patterns (relationships, emotions, decisions)
• Want deeper self-awareness — not just temporary relief
• Are open to being challenged in a supportive way

Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed or stuck — and leave with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

If you’re ready for that kind of work, I invite you to reach out.

I work best with clients who are ready to invest in their growth and do meaningful inner work.

I am a very committed and passionate person. I prefer to meet my clients where they are at. i want my clients to be able to trust that I will uphold Integrity, Professionalism, Empathy, and Honesty in our Therapeutic Interactions and dealings with the utmost respect for their Privacy and general well-being.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating addiction across the full spectrum, including alcohol and other substances, compulsive or process-based behaviors, early recovery, relapse vulnerability, long-term recovery, and transitions out of inpatient or higher levels of care. I also support clients experiencing co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

I have been working in the behavioral health field since 2015, with experience in addiction and mental health treatment across a range of settings and levels of care. I hold a Master of Social Work from Simmons University and am LCSW-eligible. I work with adolescents (13+) and adults, and I welcome clients at all stages of readiness, including those who feel unsure, ambivalent, or overwhelmed by change.

At the core of my work is the belief that addiction is rarely just about the behavior itself. It often reflects deeper emotional, relational, and stress-based patterns that deserve understanding rather than judgment. I place strong value on helping clients build internal resources while also connecting them to supportive services and external supports when additional structure or care would be helpful.

I am an experienced therapist helping individual clients cope with addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I also work with couples on common struggles such as conflict resolution, lack of connection, and reduced physical intimacy. I use evidence-based methods enabling clients to achieve their desired goals.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, family challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my degree from Simmons University with a focus in Trauma Studies, and I have worked in both school-based therapy and medical settings as a social worker. This background allows me to understand how emotional stress shows up in different parts of life, including school, family systems, and health-related challenges.

Seasoned, non-judgmental, diversity of experience, humorous, creative, good listener, emotionally sensitive

I am a seasoned professional who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. My varied training including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Spiritual Response Therapy enables me to help you go deep, get to the root of an issue, and create satisfying resolutions.

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a transpersonal approach was fostered, that is, taking into account the psychological as well as the spiritual aspects of our clients. I also studied at the Coaches Training Institute, EMDRIA for EMDR training, The Gestalt Institute of Santa Fe, the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Albuquerque NM, and the Spiritual Response Association. I am also a life-long meditator and spiritual practitioner. In addition to working as a therapist for the last 21 years, I have been a marketing director, a psychic and a life coach.

Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.

I am currently writing a book called, "The Misfit Mystic" which addresses the issue of struggling to fit into society with psychic and spiritual sensibilities.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.

I'm Samar Wahid, a licensed mental health clinician trained in several forms of therapy, including CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I work collaboratively with clients to help them explore their lives and relationships and to help them cope with trauma.
