I am a licensed mental health counselor and dance movement therapist. I am passionate about mental health, healing, and helping folks help themselves. I approach my work with a trauma informed lens, and with a deep respect for meeting people where they are at. Focus mainly on identity, anxiety, depression and trauma.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of advance psychiatric practice and a total of 15 years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in evidence-based care for adults living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions, combining thoughtful medication management with practical strategies that help clients build a deeper understanding of their mental health.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman's Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that lasting mental health is rooted in lifestyle, resilience, and whole-person well-being. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and active partners in their own care.
My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.
Hi, I’m Pete Steele, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts, and I’ve been practicing for over 12 years. I specialize in trauma and post-traumatic growth, but I also work as a general practitioner with adults facing anxiety, loss, relationship challenges, or just the weight of being human. My approach is collaborative and grounded—I’ll follow your lead, make sure you’re safe, and help you explore the places that have felt too painful or complicated to face alone. Therapy with me can be honest, sometimes hard, often surprising, and deeply human. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know your story, and diving into the real work together.
Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.
Dr. Annet Kabuusu Mukasa is committed to empowering individuals on their journey to mental wellness by providing compassionate, judgment-free care. Clients need a provider who truly listens, understands, and integrates both evidence-based practices and holistic wellness into their care plan & desire a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to heal and grow & don’t want to feel alone in their struggles; they need a provider who will walk alongside them with empathy and expertise.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. There are credentials I could list and ways for you to assess why I am the right clinician for you, and while those things matter, what I find most true is this: I care deeply about this work.
Finding the right therapist is hard, and on behalf of all therapists, I'm sorry this is true. I won't promise a "safe space" for the people I work with, but I can promise an accountable one. I am committed to learning alongside you, knowing that we will teach each other what comes next. I will create the container for our work, and together, I hope to build a foundation of trust that allows you to heal, grow, challenge, accept, and integrate all that has brought you here.
Many people who come to see me are living with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, or are processing and healing from past trauma. You might be going through a major life transition or find your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You might feel stuck, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. Investing in therapy can be difficult when there are so many other things that demand your attention. My role is to help you explore what is important to you, what is getting in the way, and make realistic, actionable steps towards your goals.
Disclaimer: My current role as an Access Clinician at Harvard University Health Services allows me to work with folx from all walks of life. I hold a small caseload in my private practice to focus on my clinical interests. Due to my role, I do not see any actively enrolled Harvard students in my private practice. However, this means you can see me at CAMHS for short-term counseling.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, educator, researcher, and real person who believes mental health care should feel supportive, honest, and approachable. I’ve been a nurse since 2012 and a psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2016, and I bring warmth, humor, and clinical expertise into my work. I provide medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents 16+ navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic symptoms, and life stressors. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your care.
