Professional statement

Amos Worth, LICSW, is a Social Worker in private practice in Somerville, MA. He works with a wide variety of individual adults. His work focuses on helping his clients explore their inner worlds, come to understand how different parts of themselves interact, and then resolve the feelings and wounds that are driving inner and outer conflict. In doing this work, he primarily acts a guide, using specific skills and techniques to help client’s access their own sense of self.

In addition to the above internal work, Amos also teaches physical, body-based skills that help client’s manage their internal states. These skills help people have a certain level of equanimity in their daily lives, and also make space for deeper internal explorations.

Amos has over 20 years of experience working in Mental Health in a variety of roles, from doing rehabilitation in the community for people with major mental illnesses to managing residential treatment programs for homeless Veterans. He now brings that experience to his work in private practice.

Amos has limited availability for in-person sessions, but primarily works remotely. His physical office is in Porter Square and he can see people located anywhere in Massachusetts via telehealth.


Message to clients

Hello there! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Finding the right therapist is a little like dating, so I encourage you to look at lot of these, and try to find someone you really click with.

People sometimes ask me who I work with, and the honest truth is that I’m not that picky. All I’m looking for is a certain level of sincerity. Inner work can be strange and scary, so I don’t approach it with too much of an agenda or fixed idea for the pace we should work at. But I ask that people show up with some willingness to look inside, and let me know what they notice going on in there. If you can do that, I bet we can work together.
