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.

I have always felt a strong connection to people working through challenges. This, paired with my own experience with mental health challenges, drew me to therapy. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural extension of my lived experience and values—working to build space for people to feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Kevin Orpurt. I am an LCSW working with clients in Massachusetts via telehealth. I have a broad base of experience, but I work primarily with adolescents and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, transition issues and grief, using a solution focused approach grounded in CBT and Mindfulness. I also have extensive experience working with athletes and those working in athletic settings. While I have a causal, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, I also believe people often need additional tools in their lives.

My ideal client is an individual who is willing to participate in therapy. As a client, they are eager to identify their issues, needs, goals, and desires to better their lives. Someone who comes prepared each session to talk and is challenging oneself to be open and honest. I want to work with someone who believes in themselves. And one who does not give up on themselves or the therapeutic process.

I have daytime and evening openings in Lexington, Brookline, and virtually. Life can feel overwhelming when stress, uncertainty, and daily challenges pile up. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling stuck or unsure of how to move forward. Navigating relationships or managing responsibilities might feel harder than ever. Mental health challenges can leave even the most accomplished individuals feeling overwhelmed. While these challenges can be overwhelming, they also offer opportunities for growth. Therapy is a space where you can learn to leverage your strengths to build a life more closely aligned with your values.

I am collaborative and flexible in my approach, looking for ways to work well together.

My 20 years of working with adolescents and their families has taught me to approach clients with a non-judgmental, non-authoritative attitude. This helps clients take an honest look at their lives and identify what things need to change or be accepted. Meeting a client without preconceived expectations is critical because it gives me a chance to see the client from her/his own point of view. Also, I work very hard to not act too "therapisty," which is something that often hinders therapy with adolescent clients in particular (e.g., "How does that make you feel?").

Accepting New Patients- How many times per day do you get asked, “How are you?” How often do you answer honestly? I hope to help you actually answer that question, in all of its complexity. In order to achieve this, I create a confidential environment in which we can work together on self-exploration and inquiry. I also work with kids, adolescents, and their parents in a developmentally informed approach.

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.

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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
