Male Therapists in Concord, MA
I've worked in schools for the last twenty-three years, helping an array of children and teens experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, as well as social, emotional, and academic challenges. I believe that young people are all amazing in their own ways. Children benefit from having someone in their corner unconditionally to help develop skills and strategies in an effort to become increasingly confident, independent, and successful both in and out of school. I value communication with parents to best help each client. I approach all of my clients in a warm and compassionate manner in an effort to develop a strong connection.

**CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I believe that there is no single treatment that works best for everyone. I believe that therapy is the most effective when it's tailored to the unique needs of each client. We will spend time building trust arriving at a shared understanding of your treatment goals. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. We'll start with current challenges that you may be experiencing and together, we will carve out a road map that can help you on your journey to be the most complete version of you.

Besides working with individuals in private practice, I consult with organizations around the world developing their people in leadership and management skills.
The focus of my nearly 30 years in practice is to assist people who find themselves in common yet challenging transitions in their lives. These difficult "phase of life" transitions are often accompanied by painful adjustment experiences including relationship issues, confusion with one's role, interests, or even personal or work identity, difficulty making decisions or taking action, challenges with feeling productive and making a contribution, and finding peace in one's overall experience of life.

You may be feeling sad, angry, or worried much of the time. You may be ashamed or disappointed with yourself. You may be struggling with your life, with a relationship, work, or school. Maybe someone has hurt you. Maybe you feel stuck or trapped in a situation that is too much for you. Maybe you want to get a handle on how you think, feel, and behave, and make meaningful, substantial changes in your life.

Good therapy is like a strong relationship; it requires dedication, builds tolerance for vulnerability, supports growth, and manages trust through respectful and consistent boundaries.
Hi. If you're here, you may be at a crossroads. Entering therapy really is an act of courage and commitment. Asking yourself, What do I want from this process?, How do we improve our relationship? Am I ready to grow? The answers to these questions can provide direction toward the changes you want in your life. Please note, therapy can be challenging. Looking at past experiences, addressing old feelings, and altering patterns of relating in the here and now, is not easy work. However, the outcome of this hard work can be healing and life altering. I've helped many navigate this complex terrain and I believe I can support you as well.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties.

My experience in these roles enables me to work effectively with individuals whose distress is particularly overwhelming and incapacitating.

My training is in classical dynamic, hu manistic and cognitive-behavioral theories and my approach draws from these mainstream ideas.
As a clinical psychologist, I work with people to find ways to create change in their lives. Clients bring a range of concerns, from developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, to adjusting to significant life events such as career change and retirement, parenting, divorce or marriage, or medical illness. While I may have access to experience and strategies that have helped others, I know it is my clients who are the experts on their own lives, and ultimately the ones who create their own change.

I believe deeply in the hu man ability to repair and heal.
I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.

You want to appear like you’ve got it all together, but deep down you are struggling to feel confident in who you are. You’re someone who is decisive in your career, but still find yourself sad and anxious, struggling with relationships, and feeling undervalued by loved ones. Each day feels like the one before it, questioning when you’ll finally break the cycle of feeling down about yourself. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to restore your inner peace. You’re ready to reclaim the confidence that you used to have. Most of all, you’re ready to feel joy once again. I want to help you get there.

Waitlist for new clients
Many of my patients are recovering from addictions of various sorts. Many of them, as well as other patients, have mood disorders (anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder). I also work with individuals and families struggling with problems in work and career, marriage and similar relationships, and what are often described as existential or spiritual crises--the lack of a sense of meaning and purpose in life. I involve families in therapy when possible--people don't live and learn as isolated individuals.

I am skilled at teaching many strategies - from Mindful Self-compassion to CBT and DBT to Gott man Method and Narrative Therapy to Eco-therapy.
Over the last thirty years as a Clinical Psychologist, I have learned how children, adults, couples, and families break free of disheartening relational patterns and rewrite oppressive stories. I have learned how to attend to what matters most: feeling safe, opening to love, and creating a life guided by compassion. I truly love my work, and that may be because I am still learning every day how to ask questions that spark wonder and creativity, how to listen for the depth behind words, knowing when to be patient, when to challenge.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
