My name is Chelsea Rousseau (BASW, MSW, LMSW), and I am a therapist with years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of life challenges.

I am here to offer support, insight, and guidance—at your pace, and when you are ready.Licensed in Massachusetts

Khyesha McCall
MSW, LCSW
-
Khyesha is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Massachusetts who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and practical support. Originally from the Natural State of Arkansas, she earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and brings a diverse background working within community, family, and healthcare settings.
Throughout her career, Khyesha has supported individuals and families as they navigated complex medical conditions, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that often accompany them. Her experience has strengthened her belief that every person's story is unique and that healing begins in a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued.
Khyesha utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools for lasting change. She works with individuals who are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the everyday challenges of finding balance in an ever-changing world.
She believes that while past experiences often shape the way people view themselves and the world, they do not have to define what comes next. Khyesha creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients are encouraged to give themselves grace as they explore new perspectives, develop healthier coping strategies, and embrace personal growth at their own pace.
A guiding philosophy of Khyesha's practice is helping clients learn how to "keep their cup full." She believes that self-care extends beyond occasional moments of rest—it begins with understanding what is in your cup, recognizing when it is running low, and intentionally developing the skills and habits needed to replenish it. Through collaboration, self-reflection, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, Khyesha empowers clients to cultivate resilience, maintain emotional balance, and build a life that aligns with their values and supports their overall well-being.

Brandon Rollins
MSW, LICSW
-
Brandon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts. He obtained his master’s in social work from Bridgewater State University, and he has worked with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings including Outpatient therapy clinics, State agencies, and non-profits.
His clinical interests focus on trauma processing, mood and anxiety disorders, identity development, family and couples’ psychotherapy, substance use, and adapting to and living with disability.
His approach to therapy is primarily influenced by psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and narrative perspectives, but more importantly relies on the individual’s unique experiences and perspectives.
Brandon believes that clients are the true experts in the therapeutic process, and that the therapeutic alliance, empathy, and humor are what drive meaningful work. Brandon also recognizes the impacts of broader societal forces like racism, sexism, and ableism on mental health.
As a therapist who was born blind he recognizes that coping with discrimination negatively impacts our mental health, and that naming and challenging these outside forces in therapy can lead to self-empowerment and healing.

Does life feel overwhelming? Do daily tasks feel like an insurmountable obstacle? Do your relationships, work and home life feel strained or tense? I can help.
