Group meets in Watertown, MA 02472
A willingness to be vulnerable is a sign of courage, an indicator of resilience, and a component of readiness. You being here tells me that. What happens now is unique; the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. It's a safe space to explore, challenge, and reflect, while alongside someone who specializes in the ability to help navigate it. I tend to introduce different therapeutic approaches, paying attention to how you respond, as a way of tailoring your treatment. I believe in the enhancement of self-acceptance as a foundational component for personal growth and improved quality of life.
The Intensive Adolescent Anger Management Group is designed to meet the needs of older adolescents who have struggled with anger management issues for an extended period of time. Most group participants have required a hospital placement and/or a specialized school placement and struggle with mood instability, social skill development and at times substance use issues. Participants require time to "Peel Away" the layers of prior treatment frustrations and engage with peers and me and my staff in an attempt to develop a new pathway through high school as they prepare for college.

Group meets in Lexington, MA 02420
I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have often had unsuccessful prior treatment experiences. They feel that my knowledge and holistic approach to treatment will provide them with a healthier pathway forward in their life. Although I have a depth of experience to share with my patients I value learning from them on a daily basis. To facilitate change I employ a range of focused DBT and CBT strategies that I also teach to younger clinicians who train with my practice. I have maintained a professional home for 30 years at Harvard Medical School where I serve as a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry.

Substance Use Support Groups
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
