LOOKING GLASS COUNSELING

Looking Glass Counseling is a woman-owned and operated psychotherapy practice located in Somerville & Medford, Massachusetts. We provide individual and group psychotherapy to adults dealing with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. In a non-judgmental and collaborative atmosphere, we offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of our clients’ individual needs. 

 

Looking Glass therapists are trauma-informed, person-centered, BIPOC allied, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, body-positive and supportive of all consensual relationship styles. We are committed to the values below.

 

For our clients:

• Inclusion: We welcome and support clients of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds and people with disabilities. This includes working with clients of diverse immigration statuses, clients in non-monogamous relationships and neurodivergent clients.  

• Connection: We believe in the power of human connection to heal ourselves and our world. Our therapists care deeply about creating strong and compassionate therapeutic relationships. 

• Personalized Treatment: We don’t espouse a cookie-cutter approach to therapy. We collaborate with our clients to create a treatment environment that feels most helpful to the goals you’re trying to achieve.

• Access to Care: We are aware of systemic barriers to mental health treatment. We provide a sliding scale based on income and have a scholarship fund to help clients with limited financial resources. 

 

For our community:

• Giving Back: We serve our community through training, mentorship, outreach and philanthropy.

• Anti-Racism: We uphold anti-racist values and we condemn acts of interpersonal, institutional and systemic racism. 

• LGBTQIA+ Allied: We support trans rights and queer causes in our community. We are aligned with promoting visibility and acceptance for the LGBTQIA+ community. 

 

For our employees:

• Collaboration: We have a diverse team of practitioners that specialize in different clinical approaches to treatment. This allows for a richness in our clinical conversations and the ability to learn from our colleagues. 

• Ongoing Education: Our therapists eagerly pursue continuing education to strive to become better practitioners. The therapists on our team consider themselves to be lifelong learners, always growing and expanding their clinical skills. 

• Employee Wellness: We believe that we can better provide a healing space for our clients when we create a healthy place for our employees to work and grow. We offer a comprehensive benefits package for employees and support their mental and physical wellness.
