Staff

At Holliston Youth and Family Services, we understand that life's journey often comes with moments of stress, confusion, transition, and loss. As we navigate these challenges, we each develop coping mechanisms to meet these demands. However, there are times when therapy can be a guiding light, gently helping us weather life's stormy chapters and enhancing our ability to respond more effectively. 

With a range of treatment modalities, including play therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy, we are dedicated to assisting others in discovering their unique path to personal fulfillment. Witnessing the remarkable growth and transformation that can occur within the right environment of reflection and support motivates us each day.

Our team of therapists and prevention specialists are committed to creating a warm, inviting, and safe therapeutic space for you and your children. We believe in fostering an atmosphere where healing can take place and individuals can find the strength to embrace positive change. At Holliston Youth and Family Services, we are here to walk alongside you on your journey towards well-being and lasting growth.
