As one who has experience in providing trauma-informed care, I have an in-depth understanding of how we are affected by traumatic life situations and how building new coping strategies can empower us once again.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and person-centered care to adolescents and adults. I help clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions with compassion, clarity, and respect.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Rivier University.

As a former member of a special operations military unit, I understand and can empathize with directly- and indirectly-related issues.
Lee Walker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and a former member of a military Special Operations unit with 45 years of experience in mental health/addictions treatment. He is very concerned regarding the impact of trauma (frequently underrated) and the disease course of addictions (also frequently underrated). He is optimistic that significant life improvement is possible for his clients, and is committed to working with them to see that potential. Leon’s specialties are PTDS, trauma, and addictions.
Lee earned his Bachelor's in Abnormal Psychology at Clark University and Master's at Assumption University. His military background exposed him to a wide range of life circumstances and difficulties that impact people—many of whom have given up hope. Lee teaches his clients to use rational emotive therapy and reality therapy to manage symptoms on their own.
Lee believes that all clients have the potential to conduct self-therapy so they have clinical tools and interventions at all times.

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Has your partner harmed you? If so, know that the counselors at Thriveworks Cambridge understand the challenges of leaving a violent relationship, and we are available to offer support to domestic violence victims.
Domestic violence nearly always follows a repeating and escalating cycle. Each phase can take years, months, weeks, days, or just hours. Without significant intervention, the cycle may repeat and escalate—with each iteration more violent than the last.
The Honeymoon Phase: Even violent relationships have periods of calm and peace, and the violent partner may promise, “I will never do that again… that was the last time… I’ll get help.” However, these times are often just the calm before the storm.
The Tension Building Phase: Daily tensions rise as the violent partner often requires more and more appeasement to keep the peace. This phase, according to many victims, is like walking through a minefield. Victims often attempt to shield their partner from stress/responsibility or they may give into unreasonable demands—hoping that the violence will not come.
The Abusive Phase: The abuse may be physical, sexual, and/or emotional. Often, violent partners blame a flaw in their victim as the cause of the violence, but harming another person is always a choice. Violent people are responsible for their own choices. Violence is never deserved. It is also illegal.
Think through the phases of domestic violence and your own relationship. Have you experienced the cycle from your significant other? If you are living in a violent home, know that help is available. Thriveworks Cambridge has therapists who understand the minefield you have to walk, and we want to help.
Our goal is to provide client-centered care, so when you call our office, a person will answer. You may be able to see your therapist within the same week, and we have night and weekend appointments available. We do not keep waitlists, but we work with most insurance companies.
Do not wait to be safe. Call Thriveworks Cambridge, MA today.
