About Lynda Ketcham

Hello, I am a licensed social work therapist in Massachusetts with 30 years of professional work experience. If you are a client facing mid life challenges or a client who is facing challenges of growing older then I can help. Our lives bring unexpected events that can be scarey, or depressing. Relationship changes, family conflicts, financial stress are just some of the reasons people like yourself come to therapy. If you suffer from chronic illness, loss of a job, a loved one, or just wondering who you are in your stage of life, then I can help. I utilize my skills of compassion, understanding, healing,amd humor (when appropriate!). I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to reach out for help and I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Taking care of yourself is of the utmost importance and I hope you will let me be part of your team.

“Lynda‘s guidance has helped me move on from past traumas an experience life in a much more positive way. <br /> I look forward to our sessions every week.”

“She’s a great listener”

“I'm so glad I decided to use Betterhelp to start my therapy journey. They matched me with Lynda and she is amazing. She listens intently and has helped me in seeing things with a new perspective. I feel really lucky to have been paired with her from the beginning. Therapy has been such a positive experience so far and I look forward in continuing to having Lynda on my mental health team!”

“I've been seeing Lynda for a couple of months now, and I enjoy having her as my therapist. She is engaging, outgoing, curious, responsive, wise, and fun. Comfortable in her own skin, she accompanies me with a quality I like a lot, being human. As an older woman with therapy and diverse work and life behind me, it helps that she is older too, and remembers some of the history that I do, a special feature for me, helps shortcut some of my efforts to explain. I find her helpful and inspiring in a quiet way.”

“Lynda is kind and shows compassion and also understands the issues.”

“Lynda is an excellent therapist, and has really helped me over our last several sessions! She is a great listener, and great at putting things into perspective”

“My weekly sessions with Lynda have been a huge part of progress I have made trying to function with severe anxiety and PTSD. <br /> Her kindness, professionalism and strategies have all contributed to my progress and I look forward to our conversations every week.”

“I’ve been seeing Lynda for almost 2 years now and I’ve made a lot of progress. She is very insightful, asks really good questions and is able to see the big picture to lead you on the right path. I would highly recommend her.”

“Lynda is awesome. I really enjoy talking with her and look forward to our weekly meetings.”

“Lynda is wonderful therapist. I value our sessions so much and she helps me focus on all the positives in my life.”

“I Love my weekly sessions with Lynda. She’s been my therapist for about a year and a half, and I have to say our connection was strong from the beginning. She’s very easy to talk to, supports all of my goals, and encourages me when I am at my low points.<br /> Our weekly sessions have been a great comfort to me over the past year and a half and I can’t express in words how much she has helped me deal with my Issues and find a path towards my happiness again.”

“Lynda is very insightful and really listens. Our conversations are organic, safe and comfortable. I really appreciate her on so many levels.”

“I had started better help little over a month ago, and I was reluctant to seek out help or to have somebody listen to my problems. Lynda has been a great listener and also given great advice and self-reflective questions that help me understand some of the deeper misconnections that I currently have in life with myself friends and family, and so I am grateful for the opportunity to have been matched with her and to experience a great support through this application. I will continue to use this and with the help of Lynda create a better mindset path for myself and my future.”

“Lynda knows more about me than I do, she's incredibly insightful, offers great advice. I'm particularly amazed at Lynda ability to take on board my thoughts and relay them back to me in a way that helps me to understand them better. Thank you Lynda”

“Lynda was the perfect therapist for me: a great listener with insightful comments and questions. She really helped me move through a difficult time. I’m deeply grateful for her input!”
