Anxiety Therapists in Boston, MA

I believe that one of the bravest acts is understanding and accepting your own story. An ideal client is someone who focuses on personal growth and healing. My primary goal for clients is to make the therapeutic process comfortable and rewarding while allowing them to feel validated and thrive towards their goals. Life can be a strenuous roller coaster, with numerous ups and downs. On the bright side, seeing a therapist doesn’t have to be. Many may believe that therapy is a one-sided process, with little collaboration between the therapist and client. I can assure you that I am as real as it gets!

I currently direct and treat patients at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) at Boston University. We provide evidence-based clinical services - primarily CBT, to individuals of all backgrounds. CBT is a skills based therapy meant to enhance coping strategies for those suffering from emotional difficulties. It focuses on understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to foster positive changes. At CARD, we specialize in helping adults and children address a wide range of anxiety disorders and related challenges such as difficulties with mood, sleep, concentration, and pain.

My practice focuses on treating adults experiencing anxiety , depression, relationship problems, and sexual dysfunction. My approach combines practical guidance, education, and problem solving, along with facilitating insight into the roots of unwanted behavioral, emotional, and relationship patterns.

Feel that traditional therapy is not for you? Jonathan started YouTime Coaching 12 years ago with an ambitious core belief: if you provide compassionate support, positive modeling, and skillful accountability, personal growth and change are very possible. We've had major success working with many young people, adults, and families when it comes to academic/work struggles, transitional challenges, focus/attention issues, communication, motivation, performance enhancement, and self-confidence.

When faced with life’s unavoidable stressors, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The struggles of day to day life can often leave individuals feeling frustrated, hopeless, and powerless to work towards change. I enjoy helping clients feel understood and overcome fears that have been preventing them from living life to its fullest. Sometimes simply knowing that the worst case scenario won’t destroy us makes a daunting goal seem more attainable.

Feel lost, stuck, lonely? Having a hard time coping with a recent trauma? Going through a life transition? Open to a more holistic approach to therapy? Unlike regular talk therapy sessions, which may focus on surface issues and provide short term comfort, my holistic approach dives deeper for longer-term healing. My unique approach addresses the body, mind, and soul as they are all connected in the healing process.

Our day to day lives are complex, busy, and demanding. Stressors inevitably arise. When they do, we may become overwhelmed and fall back into unexamined patterns that undermine our progress and leave us feeling stuck. Talk therapy can help improve life satisfaction through increased self-awareness and effective behavioral change.
