Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Boston, MA
Growing up in Boston and spending my formative years in Haiti shaped my appreciation for different perspectives and life experiences. I support adults navigating stress, major transitions, and difficult seasons of life. My approach is practical and collaborative: we identify the challenges affecting your daily life, break larger concerns into manageable steps, and develop strategies you can use outside of sessions. Together, we work toward greater clarity, healthier routines, and steady progress.

Finding a therapist with the right experience and training isn't as easy. As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years of experience both doing therapy and teaching other therapists, I have worked with a variety of clients to improve their mood, relationships, and overall lives. I use a combination of evidence-supported techniques in therapy, and clients tend to find me when they are looking for a direct approach. I find that incorporating Zen philosophy into the process can help us remember that this moment is the most important time. As a Psypact therapist, I'm licensed to see clients in multiple states.

I specialize in working with men who carry significant responsibility and are feeling the strain of it.
Many of the men I work with are high-functioning professionals and leaders who are managing life outwardly but dealing internally with stress, anger, burnout, or emotional shutdown. Therapy becomes an option not because they want to “talk about feelings,” but because the pressure has become unsustainable.

Hi, I'm Grace. My clients often come to therapy feeling lost or stuck, knowing something in their life isn’t working but unsure how to make a change. These feelings can show up as anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy coping behaviors, and are often tied to stress from school, work, or relationships. Together, we explore what truly matters—their values, priorities, and the kind of life they want to build. Change can be scary, even when it's positive, so I work to create a space where it feels safe to be honest, curious, and imperfect.

Your brain is the command center for your emotions and your thoughts dictate your reality; this is why my approach focuses on positive psychology and the impactful use of gratitude and positive thinking habits. Due to neuroplascity, unwanted behavior and conditioned responses can be changed by retraining the brain through corrective thinking techniques, sensory input changes through somatic practice and the calming effects of mindfully being in the present moment, just to name a few. One of my specialties is coping with chronic pain through a proven-effective approach called Pain Reprocessing Therapy.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
