(Not currently accepting new patients) I provide consultation and psychotherapy with adolescents and adults. My expertise includes helping individuals with anxiety and mood issues in response to life stressors, relationship difficulties, and developmental concerns. I also work with parents toward more meaningful and sustaining family interactions. "Goodness of fit" is important in psychotherapy, and I integrate insight-oriented approaches, collaborative and developmental interventions, and skills-based approaches to meet your specific needs.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with 20 years experience providing consultation and psychotherapy. I work with adults and adolescents on a variety of issues, ranging from an individual's emotional and relationship difficulties to a general sense of "being stuck" or dissatisfied with life. I believe it necessary to provide a reliable, empathic setting to carefully understand these difficulties, and more importantly, facilitate personal growth and transformation. My private practice is in Harvard Square, Cambridge. Please feel free to call me for an appointment as well as any questions about my practice or myself.

We all long for our experiences, feelings, and needs to be seen, recognized, and honored. I bring to our work deep respect for you and/or your child’s concerns and suffering. I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work, which I approach with curiosity and empathy. I am most interested in what your unique experience is, and I aim to listen deeply. A safe-enough space will help us to transform your patterns of experience that interfere with your ability to be compassionate with yourself, to build meaningful relationships, and to work and play creatively, in other words, to live a fulfilling life.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. My practice is directed toward individuals who have problems with self-esteem, with relationships, and/or with achieving work satisfaction. Often people are depressed and anxious, and unhappy with their lives, yet unable to effect change. For many, even knowing what it is they may desire is difficult and confusing. Sometimes, life feels meaningless and direction is hard to find. Developmental challenges, such as occupation choice, marriage, raising children, mid-life, and aging, pose particular stresses and are often times for re-evaluation.

"Welcome! Clients come for support with a wide variety of concerns. Some have experienced a loss or trauma in their lives, or have had a significant life transition. Other clients are struggling with depression or anxiety, or are having problems in their primary relationships. Many clients have a desire to improve their self awareness, to improve their perspective, or to strengthen their life skills. My work is informed by an eclectic mix of treatment models; psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I also teach Mindfulness Practices as an effective tool to strengthen perspective and build resiliency".

William Arthur Ward once said, "We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them." The passion I carry for the therapeutic process is not only founded on my training and education but also my personal experience. I have faith in one's capacity for growth that comes from the willingness to be honest and courage to face difficult issues. In this life we will encounter many stones in our path. It is up to each individual to choose what they will do with them.

Welcome! It's wonderful that you are considering therapy, and I am here to help. I believe we are capable of far more than we realize. I think of myself as a guide to self-discovery and self-realization. Through couples and individual therapy I have successfully helped people significantly improve their relationships, decrease conflict, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive patterns such as alcoholism and eating disorders. Working together I have also helped people enhance their self-esteem, communication, boundaries, and helped people work through loss, trauma, school and career difficulties.

**Please note that unfortunately I am not taking clients at the moment** I enjoy working with individuals/couples that want to move forward in their lives in some way or want to make a change, whatever that means for them. I am here for those who need someone consistent to talk to or for people who have a very specific goal in mind.

Are you a diamond in the rough? I provide social psychologically informed therapy that looks concentratedly at each client's various emotions in context, how and why emotions arise in relationships and what they have to tell us. I help clients look at their complex feelings related to self, break ups, loss of connection, and unresolved grief or anger, and their positive feelings. I try to help clients persist at these times to discover unrealized strengths, better connections. I work with a sense of humor, realism and practicality. I hope my clients can feel secure and increasingly present, and make smarter, more conscious choices.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS AT THIS TIME. If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unproductive thought patterns that affect your everyday functioning in emotional and/or behavioral ways then therapy can introduce you to more effective ways to live your life. Finding a therapist who is supportive, present, understanding, and skilled in guiding you towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life is a positive step in that direction. It's a journey that's well worth taking in partnership with a professional you trust. Email is the preferred initial way to contact me.

I recently opened a new day to my practice so I have openings between 7-2 on Monday. I specialize in helping clients who want to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, cancer, lgbtq identity and self-effectiveness.

As a counselor/psychotherapist, and licensed clinical psychologist, I have maintained a private practice in the Boston-Cambridge area for more than two decades, seeing adults, young adults, and couples with a range of concerns. In addition to private practice, I have been working with college students at a university counseling center for the past fifteen years. For an overview of my background, and my approach to counseling, please visit my web site - frankmcnamara.org.

I am not currently accepting new clients. I specialize in treating children, teens, and adults with OCD, anxiety, or related issues, and have nearly 20 years of experience. My goal is to help individuals who are struggling to build lives that they love - and it is an honor to journey with them to grow and thrive. My approach includes CBT (Exposure and Response Prevention; ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I provide individual and group therapy, consultation, assessment, and transition services for youth moving across levels of care. I also supervise and train for other clinicians, nationally and internationally.

I work with adults with diverse backgrounds and identities who have experienced trauma, loss, difficulties in relationships, or difficulties with self-esteem, anxiety, and stress. I see therapy as an opportunity to enhance joy, spontaneity, meaning, and connection to yourself and others. It’s ideally an inviting, open, and safe place to explore your sense of your identity, and to learn about yourself in the context of a relationship.

Are you feeling stressed out, anxious, depressed, or stuck? Do you feel that you could be “doing” life better or that you are having trouble achieving your goals? Perhaps you have lost sight of what you know to be your true, best Self. Everyone can use help navigating stressful events, making changes in their behaviors or in life, or dealing with tricky points in relationships. It is important for you to find the right connection to a therapist to facilitate change and be your best Self.

* NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS NOW * If you are depressed, anxious, or stressed by a current transition or problem, therapy or art therapy can be an important step to take. Therapy is for anyone who feels stuck--in a symptom, in a relationship, in a job, in a profession, in a set of feelings, in patterns of action and reaction, in any situation of recurring psychological pain.

Dr. Kurdziel Adams(she/her/hers) is a gifted psychologist trained in therapy for children, adolescents and adults. Whatever the age, she is the kind of psychologist who keeps each client’s essential humanity front and center in their work together, creating space for the unspeakable to find a voice, broken attachments to be repaired, and for powerlessness to be transmuted into self-agency. She serves adolescents experiencing anxiety or depression, pregnant women and new parents, individuals with chronic illness, adults who struggle to feel safe with others and safe in their own bodies, and individuals who are experiencing grief.

Therapy at its best combines both insight and action. Understanding ourselves can provide a kinder and less judgmental frame of understanding how we got here. But this is not enough. Taking steps, both in life and during therapy to heal and make changes is essential for an effective and satisfying outcome. For these reasons, my approach to therapy combines the depth orientation of insight oriented psychotherapies and mindfulness with the action oriented aspects of cognitive-behavioral, behavioral and internal focusing techniques.

I believe that therapy should be a non-judgmental and safe place to explore, discover, heal, and find relief. Finding a good therapy match is crucial to bringing about the change that you desire in your life. Working with someone who helps you to feel seen, understood, and challenged in a non-threatening way can create the safety to explore the unknown and help you grow into your full potential. I have very limited availability currently, but feel free to email or call for more information.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families to help overcome a variety of stressors including anxiety, depression, impulse control and executive functioning issues like ADHD/language processing challenges, autism spectrum disorder, blended family struggles, academic challenges (from performance anxiety to IEPs and therapeutic schools), oppositional behaviors, and substance use. My clients describe me as warm, dedicated, and helpful. I tailor my approach to each client or family using an active-listening, strengths-based approach to build a trusting relationship and help clients identify and attain solutions that improve their functioning and relationships.
