Evidence-Based Amherst Therapy Modalities

Healing is most effective when your therapist matches the technique to your needs. Citron Hennessy therapy draws from a curated toolbox of empirically supported approaches:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identify patterns, challenge distortions, and practice new behaviors that align with your goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Build emotion-regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for steadier days.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Clarify personal values and take committed action while allowing thoughts and feelings to come and go.
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) – Question core beliefs that fuel anxiety or procrastination, then replace them with healthier perspectives.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) – Process traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge and stop disrupting the present.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – Harness positive emotional experiences to transform long-standing pain and foster resilience.
Choice Theory / Reality Therapy – Emphasize personal responsibility and concrete action steps to create the life you want.

Each modality is chosen collaboratively, ensuring your Amherst therapy plan feels both practical and personally meaningful.

What We Help With in Amherst

We understand that life in Amherst can feel like a pressure cooker—between coursework, career deadlines, and family obligations, it’s easy to lose your footing. Our therapists specialize in easing anxiety, perfectionism, depression, grief, and the overwhelming transitions that come with graduations, relocations, or new roles.

We also help when career stress spills into sleepless nights, when relationship conflicts erode self-esteem, or when lingering doubts keep you from taking the next step.

If you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, you’ll find an affirming space where your identity is respected and celebrated. Whatever prompts you to seek support—persistent worry, a heavy sadness, or a sense that you’re stuck—we collaborate with you to untangle the knots, build coping skills, and restore a sense of calm momentum.

In short, our Amherst therapy is designed to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Getting Started with Amherst Therapy

Getting started is straightforward. First, schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to learn about your needs, address any questions you may have, and verify your insurance coverage.

Standard session fees range from $150 to $275, with a sliding-scale option available through our training cohort for those with tighter budgets. Your initial appointment sets the tone: you and your therapist outline concerns, define measurable goals, review confidentiality safeguards, and map out a clear next-step plan.

You’ll leave that first meeting with a realistic roadmap—plus the reassurance that compassionate, evidence-based support is already underway.
