Josalin Scott is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Her main area of specialty is helping individuals who are coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD diagnosis, self-harming, pet loss, family building concerns, and LGBTQ+ matters. Over the years, Josalin has gained experience by working with individuals who are coping with emotional abuse, deportation of family members, death of loved ones, and other painful experiences. She also works with individuals who seek treatment for anger management and stress management.
Josalin implements effective psychotherapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, client-centered, and humanistic approaches, which can be effective in assisting clients to instill self-understanding by encouraging them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, and pain can bring life-altering results. There is no judgment, only compassion and a safe environment to heal.
"Have a particular life obstacle you’re trying to overcome? Are you working to cope with everyday stressors? Couple or family conflicts? Coping with the loss of a loved pet? Need a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist? Seeking help from a licensed therapist is the best way to put things into perspective," says Josalin. "As a licensed psychotherapist, I am committed to the well-being of all humans big and small. I am dedicated to going above and beyond to assist with helping people empower themselves and find the answers they seek. I look forward to the prospect of supporting you in conquering the problems you are presently dealing with!"

As a therapist who has been in the field for 9 years, I understand how complex each individual's story can be.
My clinical background includes working with individuals struggling with substance abuse, children and families in the foster care setting, victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse and assault, and clients with generalized anxiety, depression, eating disorders and trauma. I particularly enjoy working with young adults struggling with depression and anxiety who want to work on their self esteem and create a stronger sense of self-worth. I am also passionate about working with mothers, some of whom are struggling to adjust to motherhood, finding their voice, and recognizing their value within the family system. I love working with clients who are motivated and goal oriented to create the life that they want to live. I will support you along the way and help identify what exactly that looks like for you.
I offer a nonjudgmental clinical environment for clients to be able to process and identify what struggles they are currently faced with and start to unravel how those came to be. I would help to work through any experiences that you feel are relevant to where you are now and help you to connect how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Clients have shared with me in the past that I am down to earth and that they feel comfortable opening up to me knowing that I will support them in their choices.
Life can be really challenging at times. Most of us go through life having some sort of idea or plan of what we want to happen and often times, we are faced with obstacles that we didn't plan for. Some of those can seem overwhelming and even impossible to navigate. I want you to know that I am here to help you figure out a way to cope and make improvements in your life. I'm hoping after reading my bio, you feel like we would be a good match together.

As a nurse who has been practicing nursing for over 20 years and a Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator (of 10 years as well) working for a major city hospital in Massachusetts; caring for a wide ethnic group as well as young adults to geriatric population; working with many patients with mental health and substance abuse disorders in the in-patient and outpatient settings, I have practically seen it all and recognize some of the barriers to healthcare that the vulnerable and underserved population face therefore can understand the stigmatization and difficulty associated with caring for such group.
Mackie is a certified nurse practitioner currently working for a level 1 trauma center in Boston. In that role, she has the opportunity to care for a large population of homeless with mental health and substance abuse problems. A large component of the care provided involves the management of the psychological and social aspects through continuity of care and referrals.
Mackie is a self-driven healthcare professional who has used the knowledge acquired through the years of working at Boston Medical Center, the mental health program at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), and the related precepting experience to condition herself to better help serve the mentally ill and substance abuse disorder population. Within the community that Mackie serves, she has found that mental health disorders is considered taboo and an unspoken topic of discussion among a large segment of its population. Aside from having to deal with the unprecedented psychological and physiological manifestation of the disorder, there are also the social components of recognition and acceptance of the disorder that is burdensome for some patients. Many of the clients that Mackie has come to observe, not only have to deal with mental health issues but suffer greatly from the lack of family support, in part, due to the associated stigma of the disorder. In addition to the psychological and medical therapeutic treatments that these clients received, many yearn for assistance from family and loved ones to help them cope, as their goals are to fight these demons and get better.
Mackie has a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Houston University; a Bachelor and Master’s in Nursing from Regis College; a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Nursing Psychiatric Mental Health from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS). Mackie is an effective communicator with strong verbal and written skills and a calm demeanor that enables her to concisely communicate and connect with clients. Every case is different, each situation is unique, therefore a plan of care that involves the management of the psychological and social aspects through continuity of care and referrals; education on medication continuation and discontinuation risk factors; reinforcement of adherence to treatment plan; instructions to crisis intervention access; cognitive behavioral therapy; talk therapy or group therapy to improve confidence and social interaction; are among a few of the approaches that Mackie considers.
Suffering from social anxiety disorder can bring about feelings of inadequacy, pessimism, resentfulness, and fear of public engagement. Mackie is poised to help you channel your avoidance of social gatherings through understanding the severity of the symptoms you are experiencing and engaging you on a roadmap that would help manage those symptoms and improve the quality of your life.

Every individual deserves to find a meaningful sense of purpose, direction, and belonging. Many individuals find themselves wanting the support of counseling following loss or change; presenting to therapy without an identified catalyst does not preclude Gretchen’s thorough understanding of and support for individuals living with the everyday burden of managing major depressive disorder, bipolar depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, personality disorders, eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse problems, and more. Individuals questioning their sexual identity, LGBTQ, and BIPOC clients are welcome and will be affirmed as their authentic selves.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Franklin, MA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Franklin therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.

On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
We all experience anxiety almost every day of our life. Stressors come from various work, school, family and even friends. All of us from time to time have experienced anxiety and have been affected by the anxiety of others. For some, these feelings are short lived. But for others, anxiety is persistent affected the way we function on the job or our relationships at home. If you’re struggling with anxiety that is negatively affecting you, connect with an anxiety counselor for support. Reach out to Thriveworks Franklin, MA today to get started.
