Aniela LaTraverse, LICSW

Aniela LaTraverse is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts with more than 10 years of experience working with people facing a broad range of challenges. She has supported individuals coping with trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, career transitions, and major mood and mental health conditions. Her practice also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, stress, addictions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and intimacy-related difficulties, and the practical navigation of the mental health system to help clients get the services they need.

Aniela’s therapeutic style is client-centered, warm, and reflective, grounded in respect and compassion with an emphasis on reducing stigma. She avoids stigmatizing labels and collaborates with each person to design a treatment plan that fits their specific circumstances. Clinically, she draws from a range of approaches - including client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-focused techniques - and adapts these methods to meet individual goals.

Aniela holds a LICSW, which is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential, and practices in Massachusetts. She encourages and supports clients who take the first steps toward change and remains focused on practical, person-centered work that aims to improve daily functioning and quality of life.
