About Us

Growth at every level.

North Shore Clinicians Group is built on a simple philosophy: support growth, at every level, for both our clients and our clinicians. We believe great clinical care comes from clinicians who are continually learning, supported by a community that values reflection, curiosity, and professional development.

At NSCG, learning is not a one-time event; it is a career-long journey. We foster a culture where new clinicians are supported to develop strong foundational skills, and experienced clinicians are encouraged to stretch into new approaches and refine their practice. We value clinical excellence, but we pair it with warmth, humility, and a spirit of collaboration.

Our Story

North Shore Clinicians Group was founded in February 2011 by Kevin Carty, LICSW, and Marzena Carty, LICSW — both natives of the North Shore, Kevin from Lynn and Marzena from Revere. Before founding NSCG, they spent many years working together in psychiatric triage in the emergency room at North Shore Medical Center, seeing firsthand how many people in crisis had nowhere accessible to turn for ongoing, evidence-based care.

That experience shaped NSCG's founding purpose: to build a practice rooted in the community it serves, where clients get compassionate, effective care before they reach a crisis point — not just after. Since then, NSCG has grown into a two-location practice — Peabody and North Andover — while staying true to that founding belief: that clinicians do their best work when they are supported to keep growing.
