AJ Guerrero, LMHC(She/Her/Hers)

AJ Gurerro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in Somerville, MA. She welcomes adult clients into therapy, particularly those facing challenges related to identity, imposter syndrome, work/life balance, and neurodiversity. Many of AJ’s clients feel anxious about getting through their daily lives, which can impact their relationships with friends and family. They might want to better understand how to live authentically but feel held back by cultural or familial expectations. This can quickly begin to chip away at their mental health.

AJ takes a strengths-based approach when working with clients, empowering clients to recognize their innate resilience and ability to overcome challenging circumstances. She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to offer clients a comprehensive approach to processing through difficult experiences. AJ prioritizes the emotional safety of each of her clients, with trauma-informed ways of engaging with clients.

AJ earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. As a collaborative, empathetic therapy, she enjoys supporting clients of all walks of life, drawing on humor during sessions to bring a sense of joy and lightness to each conversation.
