A former film industry professional, I was drawn to counseling to fulfill a passion for helping teens and young adults discover who they want to be in the world. My relational approach to counseling centers on helping clients learn how to live a life that aligns with their values. I bring authenticity, warmth, and humor to every session. With deep clinical experience in both hospital and academic settings, my work primarily focuses on trauma, depression and anxiety, panic disorder, and substance use.

In my work as a therapist, my first priority is to establish a comfortable, respectful working relationship that will allow my clients to begin to focus on the often difficult, painful and complex feelings, issues and situations that have brought them to counseling. My role is to listen carefully and thoughtfully, and to help guide and facilitate discussions that will help my clients to grow and change in beneficial ways, to resolve important conflicts and issues, and to reduce the severity of symptoms such as anxiety, depressed mood and difficulty managing anger.

Sometimes, we just can't do it on our own. I work with people who need some extra support in working through challenges resulting from chronic high stress, past trauma, grief, executive functioning struggles, anxiety and depression. Clients who work most successfully with me are interested in reflection as well as experimenting with new ways of thinking and being. Past clients have described our work as helping them untangle the knots in their brain, or building their sense that they are a valuable person-giving them the confidence to make needed changes.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to address concerns related to relationships, identity, intimacy and sexuality, and spirituality, as well as general psychological issues. My approach to therapy is active, relational, and results-oriented. I encourage clients to take hold of their lives and discover the meaning and purpose within them. For more than 25 years, I taught and served as a psychologist Harvard Medical School School and at the Cambridge Health Alliance for more than 25 years. I have also served on the Advisory Board of the Dr. Phil Show since its inception (See drchirban. com).

I partner with individuals, couples and families. I firmly believe that a positive relationship with a therapist can help you lead a more fulfilling life. I help clients to manage grief, depression, anxiety, and stress from transitions. These feelings are expected and can be difficult to manage when you lose a loved one, a relationship, when becoming parents or when having professional challenges. I know the decision to seek support is not an easy one. Please know that it is my priviledge to bear witness to your story and I look forward to partnering with you to process the intense feelings you may be experiencing.

I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to clarify goals, work more effectively with challenging emotions, and, using Mary Oliver's eloquent words, help them answer the question "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." I use strength-based approaches to help clients set and achieve goals and boost happiness. Having experience as a school-based therapist and as a parent, I am helpful as a parent coach/mentor/therapist and enjoy working with teens regarding school-related challenges.

About forty years ago while attending Smith College graduate program, I learned that psychotherapy is the study of "the vicissitudes of love." Over my long career of counseling individuals and couples, both as a clinical director of a large outpatient mental health center, and for these past decades in private practice, the ups and downs of life and love have been my focus. With warmth, compassion and humor, I help people find their answers, learn coping skills, and have difficult conversations--internally and externally.

As a clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, my practice includes adults of all ages and older adolescents going through transitions, people who would like to understand how their past affects them now, and people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed and who want to make changes. If you are struggling with relationships, marital/family or work difficulties, depression, anxiety, stress, adjusting to a new situation or environment, career choices, grief, life stage changes or other concerns, my goal is to actively and empathically help you address problems and patterns that interfere with your life and cause distress.

My practice is currently full and I am not accepting new clients at this time.
It is as though a “What if…” reel is running in your mind. You are so exhausted by the second (third and fourth!) guessing of your choices and your interactions with others. Dealing with your anxiety is taking up so much energy. Sometimes you try to avoid the things or situations that are causing your anxiety. Other times you might check in with a friend, partner or parent asking, “Do you think what I did was okay?” Still other times you imagine worse-case scenarios playing out and strategize how you can prevent them. But the worry comes back.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harm, school challenges, and interpersonal difficulties. In addition to working as a therapist, I hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital, where I previously worked as a staff psychologist and continue to serve as a supervisor. My experience in these roles enables me to work effectively with young people whose distress is particularly overwhelming and incapacitating.

Growth comes in waves. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you find yourself called to revisit old patterns that have reemerged during a time of transition or uncertainty, it takes strength to embrace vulnerability.
