Gail Carey, LICSW

A believer in human potential,  I bring 20+ years of clinical experience to the therapy room.  I have an extensive history of working with anxiety disorders and traumatic stress.  I have also worked with related disorders including depression, identity struggles and LGBTQ concerns, women's issues, couples' challenges and wellness.  A musician at heart, I have a particular passion for helping patients connect again with their own creative core and for helping performers move through anxiety blocks.  Former places of social work employ have included Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and Westwood Lodge Hospital.

My treatment philosophy is aligned with ACT principles. It is my practice to help clients apply mindfulness strategies in everyday living. Whether helping to better accept experiences (embrace emotions, tolerate pain, work through grief...) or to activate around values (take healthy risks, deepen life's experiences), I offer a kind and compassionate listening ear.
