About me

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Massachusetts. I have 14 years of clinical experience with adults, adolescents, children, and families, in individual, group and couples counseling. I have worked with individuals facing a variety of issues and challenges, including anxiety, depression, family relationship issues, couples issues, LGBTQ+, domestic violence, trauma, unemployment, disability, and school performance issues.

My clinical approach combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I will look at your current situation from a strengths perspective and assist you to identify and use the strengths you both already have to cope with the issues you are currently experiencing.

I am here to support you. Connection to others is an important need for everyone that has been more difficult than ever to foster and maintain during the pandemic. I look forward to hearing from you to set up an appointment!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marykate Shorter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Marykate is excellent at making sure my spouse and I listen to each other instead of taking past each other.

My partner and I have been meeting with Marykate on and off for a few months and her expertise and advise have helped us get through a rough patch. I really appreciate the neutrality she brings to our conversations and her consistency with making sure we are both heard and our feelings validated. Marykate has been great at helping both of us focus on individual behavior changes we can make to strengthen our relationship in addition to building healthy habits long term.
