Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Boston, MA

I work with individuals across the lifespan, drawing from an intuitive blend of therapeutic approaches, including attachment-based, existential, Jungian, CBT, inner child, and holistic approaches.
My clients come to therapy with a desire to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the implicit beliefs they hold about themselves and the world. They are deep thinkers and feelers with a great appreciation for humor as part of the therapeutic process. They are often striving to become (and befriend) the best version of themselves. Together, we balance insights and perspectives with tools that guide transformation and growth.

I am inspired by holistically based approaches; mindfulness, CBT and Energy Psychology.
Happiness is not a destination, it is a journey” (Aristotle). If you have found yourself questioning your own happiness, you may be questioning your journey. Asking for help along the way can sometimes be difficult; however, I can offer you comfort in making that decision and help guide you. Healing takes time, but you don't have to do it alone. If you are looking for growth and deliverance of new and innovative interventions through compassion and understanding, you have found the beginning of a new journey.

I am intensively trained in DBT, CBT, and exposure based treatments for anxiety and trauma.
Does it feel like anxiety or other emotions hold you hostage? Or do you, your teen, or your college-aged child struggle to make sense of your emotions or feel like emotions (or running from emotions) drive your decisions? Emotions are beautiful and challenging, and I love helping teens, young adults, and adults navigate the storm and build a life worth living. I completed my post-doc training at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School in the 3East Intensive Program providing adherent DBT therapy to adolescents. I have experience in a range of settings including community mental health, IOP, PHP, and Residential Treatment.

I work conceptually from a Psychodynamic framework, and may use Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, Somatic, Trauma-focused, and mindfulness techniques as needed.
I help stressed out professionals who feel undervalued at work and unappreciated at home regain their enthusiasm for life. Despite "having it all", my clients feel anxious and hopeless and their lives feel empty. When they first come to therapy, their self-esteem is at rock bottom; they struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-criticism. They feel alone. They are exhausted from managing the emotional load of household and family tasks on top of their demanding careers. People tell them they should be grateful, which feels deeply shameful. They feel stuck and miserable, and wonder how things got so bad.

Specifically, I am interested in mindfulness, self-compassion, psychodynamic therapy, expressive arts therapy, hypnosis, cognitive-behavioral modalities ( CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy.
You feel trapped in thinking again and again about the same issue? You find yourself repeating same behavioral patterns? You live in self-judgment, guilt, sadness, and lack of good sleep?

Collaboratively, we can create a safe space to help you feel your feelings; increase your awareness; understand relationship patterns; and develop strategies to cope at home, work and in society.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
