"I help people alleviate uncomfortable feelings, gain insight, and increase coping skills to overcome anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues and major life transitions (such as relocation, career transitions). Part of being human means that you will struggle at some point with unproductive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, or unexpectedly have to manage something life throws your way. Clients I work with are motivated to develop advanced life skills to increase their happiness, self-confidence and emotional health and well-being and are seeking tools to assist them in the process."

"I believe that self-awareness is the primary route to deep and lasting change. As an experienced therapist, I am committed to helping you become more mindful and self aware, both emotionally and intellectually, in order to effect real change in your life. People come to me for any number of reasons: feelings of depression; difficulties in relationships; trauma or loss; anxiety about the current socio-political climate; or just a vague sense of being stuck in their lives. In the context of a private, trusting therapy relationship, I can help you to both heal and grow."

"Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS BY VIDEO, INCLUDING COUPLES. In therapy, we can find a home for many longings: the nagging sense that something is missing, the yearning to experience happiness, or the desire to escape the seemingly inescapable patterns that keep us stuck. We cover up these longings with worries, distractions or addictions. Ironically, even when we crave to satisfy our needs, we also fear (and even sabotage) getting what we want: whether it's success, love, intimacy, sobriety, or purpose. Therapy is a place to explore these longings, to eliminate what stands in our way and to honor what supports us."

"I founded Azimuth Psychological, where we focus on the unique challenges of those in high-pressure careers and their families. My specialty is in entrepreneur mental health — especially around co-founder struggles, imposter syndrome, communication skills, burnout, difficulty making decisions under stress, and effective leadership. With my years of clinical training as a psychologist filtered through the lens of my own entrepreneurial journey, I am able to engage with entrepreneurs on a deeper level while providing the nuance, rigor, and evidence-based practice required to address big challenges. "

"Located on Newbury St, I specialize in supporting men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of new fathers who happen to be former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. My training as a therapist with a specialty in parenting, anger management and spiritual issues also informs how I work. The men who come see me want to channel their aggression in a healthier way and are incredibly self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help. I try to make it a little easier by being non-threatening male presence."

"Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be empathically recognized and understood for there to be realistic change. My job is to create a safe place where individuals and couples explore their current or long standing problems in order to find realistic solutions. A significant part of this involves carefully and mutually developing an appreciation of people's actual qualities and circumstances. I work with people in crisis or who sense they have patterns of living that could benefit from a clear understanding and want an expert and experienced partner to help facilitate their desired change."

"I provide solution-focused therapeutic services to older adolescents, adults, and assessments for both ADHD and bariatric surgery. I specialize in life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, mood disorders, and health related issues. My approach is patient-focused and interactive with primary emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I like to work with strengths of the individual and their support network in order to provide effective therapeutic interventions and facilitate change. I often utilize mindfulness principles and stress management in order to meet goals related to improved mental and physical health."

"*Accepting New Clients* Life can feel really overwhelming at times, especially when you are trying to manage the daily grind, while also being present in your personal and professional relationships. When you have a busy and demanding life your personal relationships often take a back burner and it’s hard to deal with problems effectively in the moment. Sometimes it’s easier to numb out with unhealthy habits like over drinking, over or undereating, scrolling social media, or overworking. But, eventually these habits leave you feeling more stressed and disconnected, and problems that once appeared small snowball into larger issues."

"I help people overcome the challenges they face in everyday life - challenges relating to work or school, mood, stress, relationships, trauma and abuse. If you're not finding satisfaction or joy in life, if you have dreams of something better but you don't know how to get there, if you feel stuck, or if you keep running into mental, emotional, or behavioral blocks, I can help. If you feel like life is out of balance, I can help. Together, we can work to restore that balance. I work with adults and also specialize in helping college/university students."

"I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways. Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture. Psychotherapy can help when stress, trauma, life transitions, or difficult relationships call for new ways of coping and navigating our lives."

"I work closely and collaboratively with individuals and couples to move them beyond old, repetitive and unhappy patterns that hinder growth and freedom. Change happens in a deeply personal way, and never without trepidation. Effective therapy is a mutual undertaking in which fears, anxieties and deeply held beliefs are discovered and shifted. Depressive feelings, anxiety, unhappy work or personal relationships are often the result of unknown roadblocks we erect to protect us at a cost. Therapy provides a private and safe venue for discovering the reasons why life can feel flat, meaningless or frightening and can be the catalyst for profound movement and growth."

"I work with adults who want to live happier and more connected lives. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and depression, navigate relationships, and adjust to transitions. As a former executive with an MBA, I have a particular interest in supporting women through career or relationship transitions, and guiding the balance of personal responsibilities. I see therapy not as a lifelong commitment but a helpful tool to develop insight through a collaborative, empathic, and supportive process. Clients leave energized and able to articulate, clarify, and achieve their goals."

"When we experience inner conflict or are unsure of our life's direction,talking with a therapist can help restore balance to our lives. I am a licensed therapist in Boston and I view counseling in a holistic way, valuing all aspects of a person. My therapeutic approach is interactive and collaborative. My view of therapy is that it provides an opportunity for people to gain insight into their lives, and assists them in making positive change."

"Believe in life! Always human beings will progress to greater, broader, and fuller life. --W.E.B. Du Bois-- We all get stuck at certain points in life, career and relationship, feeling powerless, aimless, and not knowing how to move on... I invite you to launch a journey of self-exploration with me in a positive, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment in which you will be re-discovering your potential and strength, finding new meaning in life, breaking through the chains and barriers, and feeling rejuvenated and recharged."

"I help couples and individuals stuck in unsatisfying, repetitive patterns find clarity and regain momentum. I have a warm, collaborative and direct style. My work is informed by years of postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, a form of treatment that aims to fully resolve underlying causes of our distress. I draw on the latest research in neuroscience, attachment theory and elements of skills-based treatments, all of which allow me to formulate an approach that will be most effective for your particular circumstances. "

"Starting therapy is a brave step. I will offer you a warm and safe place to explore whatever concerns you may have. My therapeutic approach is eclectic; I draw from the theory and tools of multiple different models to customize your treatment. In order to honor your unique experience, my work with you will be individualized to your specific needs. I will rely on your feedback to direct our time together. My goal is for you to leave each session, confident that our time was useful to you."

"I believe that it takes strength and courage to seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore attitudes and beliefs /patterns which get in the way of accomplishing your full potential and engaging fully in of life. I utilize a more holistic, mind-body approach to treatment, weaving together techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IFS, mindfulness/acceptance and yoga therapy to connect you with your "true, inner self", something which we often lose touch with as we go about our lives in this often fast-paced, unpredictable and stressful world. I am also certified in EMDR (www.emdria.org)"

"After years of conducting individual and couples therapy, I’ve learned that most clients consider the option of therapy for months if not years before pursuing it. Whether it’s lack of time in an already hectic schedule, lack of energy or motivation to take on one more endeavor, or hesitation to engage in an unfamiliar process, something gets in the way. Consequently, I’ve changed my practice to include 40-minute telephone consultations which focus on strategic thinking about a specific challenge. "
