""Welcome to my profile and to my practice! I'm a Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience and who's worked in a variety of clinical settings. I'm currently a member of the clinical staff of the Counseling and Mental Health Service at Harvard University where I treat undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of cultures and backgrounds"."

"I truly believe in chemistry. Too often, clients may leave a therapeutic relationship prematurely because they don't feel like they are making adequate progress or they get the sense that the therapist doesn't feel as though they are committed to change. Like in any significant relationship, I believe in "goodness of fit." I trust that you will know with whom you feel comfortable and you should let that feeling be your guide."

"Welcome. I work with patients from age 8 to 80. I view my role as therapist to foster an environment that will help people grow, heal, and understand themself in a new light. This reliable, supportive, empathic, and at times, challenging and playful environment creates the space for emotional honesty and vulnerability that I believe are at the heart of the therapeutic process. We will work together to identify, accept, and bear these difficult emotional states, and additionally, create new narratives for the problematic and negative stories that may be contributing to the symptoms and issues interfering with your life."

"In more than thirty years of practice, I have worked with a wide variety of patients to help them better understand themselves and their behavior, and to help them develop new ways of coping,and better methods of dealing with stress. If you come to me for psychotherapy, we will figure out together how your past experiences have led you to form coping strategies which may now be interfering with your reaching current life goals."

"I specialize in insight-oriented therapy aimed at understanding patterns underlying feelings and behaviors that clients wish to address in therapy. I am also informed in cognitive-behavioral approaches to symptom management. I seek to create a space in which clients feel safe and engaged. Through the unique therapeutic relationship we establish, my clients work toward a deeper and more meaningful understanding of themselves. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy from a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital and am a fellow at the PINE Psychoanalytic Center. My therapeutic stance is gentle, accepting, and curious."

"There are times in life when talking to a psychotherapist is the most helpful and practical way to achieve relief from worry, hopelessness, and confusion. I offer a compassionate and down to earth therapeutic approach providing a safe place for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, resolve relationship issues and alleviate symptoms that are standing in the way of a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. My focus is on helping my clients feel free, rather than trapped, and more connected with others so that they can achieve what they hope for in life, work, and relationships."

"Are you stuck in your life, work and or relationships? I will work with you to get unstuck by supporting you, guiding you, and helping you to connect past and present so you can create a better future.I believe important changes will take place in a relationship with a caring and skilled therapist. Let me use what I've learned in 30+ years as a therapist to help you."

"Are you feeling stuck in your life and unsure of how to move forward? If you’re looking for relief, you’ve already taken the first step just by searching for help! With a background in individual and family therapy and specific training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am uniquely positioned to support folks who have experienced trauma or are experiencing a significant life transition. Sometimes people hear the word ‘trauma’ and a specific experience comes to mind. Other times, people worry that their experiences don't 'qualify' as traumatic. Trauma is whatever you define it as and we can work through it together."

"I provide individual and couples therapy to adults across the lifespan. My goal for therapy is to create a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you will be supported and also challenged to gain insight and develop different approaches to promote positive changes in your life. I draw from multiple theoretical approaches to meet your needs, including mindfulness-based CBT, psychodynamic, feminist-relational and narrative therapies. Areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and trauma. My approach is strength-based, and I view psychological symptoms and distress from an individual as well as systemic perspective."

"I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and self-esteem. I work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals and natural supports, and provide compassionate psychotherapy tailored to your individual needs. My treatment focuses on helping people discover their inherent strengths and identify what in their lives they would like to change to find balance and wellness. My aim is to act as a guide to help people find their own personal motivation. I am located near the Alewife T Station in Cambridge MA with ample parking and handicap accessibility."

"I am a psychoanalyst and clinical social worker with 25 years of experience providing consultation, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. I work with adults facing relationship difficulties or negotiating major life transitions, such as, graduation from school/professional training, marriage, parenting or mid-life concerns. I also help people who have attained significant achievements in life, but still experience unhappiness, loneliness, anxiety, or a sense of meaninglessness. I offer a reliable and supportive setting to understand and explore your difficulties in a manner that leads to real change and greater satisfaction in life. My office is centrally located in Harvard Square, Cambridge."

"My work with clients is deeply informed by a central belief: when in connection — to self, values, a sense of purpose, body, community, agency, and choice — we are most ourselves, most alive, and most well. A feeling of disconnection, in my experience, often sits somewhere close to the heart of what motivates many people to seek therapy. My clients are often ready to risk something new in the service of growth, with or without a clear sense of what they want or exactly where they are going. We will together identify patterns of thinking, acting, and feeling that no longer serve and try to shift them in a direction that does."

"Are you feeling stuck where you are (at work, in relationships, or other area that matter to you)? I offer a supportive environment, so that we together, can find solutions to the problems that matter to you. I have worked with many individuals from a diverse range of ethnic and religious backgrounds. I will work with you to determine a plan to meet your needs and decide how we can work together to meet your goals. I have helped many clients access services in their communities and have helped them reach their goals. I use a humanistic and eclectic approach to therapy, and am happy to collaborate with any of your other providers."

"I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space for you to explore your concerns and vulnerabilities. My passion is helping to nurture hope and recovery in the lives of my clients through supporting healthy behavior changes and emotional healing. My therapy style is warm, genuine, solution-focused, and collaborative. I use an evidence-based, integrative approach to psychotherapy, utilizing skills-focused therapies (such as CBT and DBT) combined with a strong Psychodynamic (insight-oriented) framework. "

" I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions (marriage, birth of a child, loss of a loved one, divorce, retirement, new job). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. Through my warm, direct, highly international approach, I collaborate with my clients to address the behaviors that continue to cause pain. My books, teaching and supervision have provided training for 100s of other clinicians to help their clients to feel more empowered in relationship and to fulfill their potential"

"Is anxiety holding you back from pursuing your dreams and living a full life? Is depression pushing you deeper into your own "cocoon", isolated from family and friends? Do you often lose your temper? Are you struggling with substance abuse or compulsive behaviors (binge eating, gambling, video games, pornography)? I have successfully treated people with these problems. I take a collaborative approach to psychotherapy, checking in during each visit to make sure we are making progress toward your goals. In between visits, I use reading materials, experiential exercises, and a smart phone app to help you to stay on track."

"Fit is key when seeking support. I specialize in working with aspiring, current, and retired performing artists and athletes. Perhaps you are grappling with injury or burnout, looking to tighten or advance your performance, or dealing with a relationship challenge or identity transition. I actively work to maintain a genuine, attentive, and nonjudgmental relational stance. Through a collaborative process, we will clarify your personal values and goals and develop tailored strategies toward those ends."

""Some days you wake up and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble." - Jenny Holzer. "
