Tessa Gagnon, MSW

Master’s Level Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Foxborough clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal client would be a child who is struggling with issues that impact their present life and daily functioning. For instance, a child who is facing a recent medical diagnosis. As a result, they have to frequently visit the doctor and are missing a lot of school. The child begins to experience symptoms that are impacting their ability to function at home and in the classroom. I believe the client is the expert of what they are experiencing, and it is important that the client and their family guide the goals of therapy. A strengths-based perspective and child-centered play therapy are at the heart of my practice.

I specialize in working with children who are struggling with various diagnoses. My experience in both hospital and school settings provided me with the opportunity to understand the importance of collaborating with families and systems to better support the client and their goals. I see value in integrating mindfulness-based strategies where appropriate.

It is an absolute privilege to be in this field and I do not take it for granted. Each person has a story to share, and I want to create a safe and accepting environment where these stories can be told. My role is to create a supportive atmosphere that empowers patients to explore their presenting difficulties in a non-judgmental space.
