About Lightwork Therapy & Recovery

Founded in Woburn, Massachusetts, Lightwork Therapy & Recovery is a sanctuary dedicated to empowering women ages 18+ through mental healthcare. This center serves as a beacon of hope, offering a nurturing environment where women can address mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and eating disorders. With a blend of individual therapy, group sessions, and holistic wellness techniques, Lightwork Therapy & Recovery helps women uncover their inner resilience and build the confidence needed to navigate life's challenges. The center's mission is to support women on their journey toward healing and self-discovery, fostering a sense of community and empowerment throughout each step of the process.
Lightwork Therapy & Recovery delivers gender-specific programs tailored to women's unique needs. The center creates an environment of safety and understanding by acknowledging the distinct psychological, emotional, and physiological challenges women face.

The center provides various levels of outpatient care, including a mental health day treatment program (PHP) and an outpatient program (OP), designed to accommodate each client's unique needs. These programs incorporate proven-effective therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), somatic therapy, and mindfulness techniques. This versatile, non-residential treatment approach allows clients to receive personalized care that supports their mental health journey while allowing them to maintain their daily responsibilities, making it an ideal choice for those seeking balance and healing.
At Lightwork Therapy & Recovery, a core value is to create a community of healing and empowerment.
