Therapy for Rumford Residents
The people who come to MindWell from Rumford tend to share a recognizable pattern. They are competent in the rest of their lives. The professional life works. The family system functions. From the outside, things look stable. From the inside, something has been quietly costing more than it should — a persistent low-grade anxiety, a partnership that has slowly grown distant, a mind that never quite settles, a sense of carrying more than the people around them seem to be carrying. The practice is designed for exactly this kind of work, and exactly this kind of client.

- Anxiety, perfectionism, and high-functioning stress patterns
- Couples therapy and marriage counseling, using evidence-based modalities including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Adult ADHD assessment and treatment, with expertise in late-diagnosed adults

In-Person or Telehealth Sessions
The MindWell office on Providence’s East Side is approximately ten minutes from Rumford via the Henderson Bridge or Veterans Memorial Parkway. For clients whose schedules make in-person sessions difficult, telehealth is available across Rhode Island. Many Rumford clients use a hybrid approach — in-person for the work that benefits from being in the room together, telehealth for sessions that fit more easily into a busy week.
Private-Pay, Out-of-Network
MindWell Psychology is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. This structure preserves depth, continuity, and privacy that insurance-driven care typically cannot. Many clients submit a monthly superbill to their insurer for out-of-network reimbursement, which often covers a meaningful portion of the cost.
About Dr. Livia Freier, PhD
Dr. Freier has over two decades of clinical and research experience integrating clinical psychology with neuroscience. Her work draws on evidence-based therapy modalities and an unusually deep understanding of how the brain regulates emotion, stress, attention, and connection. Treatment is personalized, rigorous, and warm — without the kind of one-size-fits-all protocols that often fail high-functioning adults.
A free fifteen-minute consultation is offered before scheduling a first session, so you can determine fit before committing. New clients from Rumford and East Providence are accepted on a limited basis.
