Adults Therapists in Newton Highlands, MA

There’s no one therapeutic approach to help us live happier lives. Recovery from painful experiences, emotional or physical abuse, a complicated hurt-filled relationship, impasses at work, coping mechanisms that no longer help—these different challenges deserve flexible approaches. Childhood skills no longer fit the problems we face as adults . Grief that couldn’t be dealt with then is more complicated now. Relief from depression and anxiety cannot work if confidence, strength, and intimacy are blocked. Understanding the whole person—creating new approaches and thoughtful solutions to problems—is the way I think and work.

I specialize in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) and anxiety in adolescents and adults . My clinical work focuses on helping my clients develop behavioral strategies, learn stress-management skills, deal effectively with difficult emotions and strengthen their relationships. Therapy can help you feel more self-confident, change patterns of negative thinking and feel less stressed. My therapeutic style is active, warm and engaged as I help clients change the habits that are getting in their way.

A licensed psychologist practicing in Newton, Mass., I have 10+ years of experience treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, eating disorders and relationship challenges. With adolescents, adults , and couples, I use an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavioral techniques. Life can be full of rough patches. Therefore my clients and I work together to shift the ways in which they relate to themselves and others, in order to lead more meaningful, productive, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

Hello. If you are struggling with compulsive behaviour (sexual, substance abuse, overeating, etc.) I am your man. I can tell you very clearly what you need to do to start addressing these issues. I also have extensive experience in treating depression, relationship issues, codependency, sleep disorders, career confusion, and disorganization. I offer a nice blend of pragmatic and abstract responses, a touch of humour, and a vast array of resources to direct you to for additional help. Right now I am offering video as well as in-person therapy. My sessions are typically 45 minutes and are billable to some insurances.

As a psychologist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I enjoy helping people to appreciate how the patterns that have brought them to my office were once creative solutions to earlier obstacles in meeting their emotional needs. These patterns eventually became emotional habits that involve negative ways of seeing themselves and others, and of relating. Since these problematic patterns developed in the context of relationships, I believe that supportive, containing relationships are crucial in changing them.

Helping people to deepen their understanding of themselves and to use their native strengths to more successfully welcome life’s challenges is my focus. You may be experiencing a life crisis that is taxing your capacity to cope, and you are suffering from anxiety, depression and other signs of emotional distress. You may be a foreign national overwhelmed by issues you are facing and unsure who will understand and be able to help. I have over 25 years of experience as a psychologist, some of it abroad, working with people from varied cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds toward improving their lives.

During this time of high uncertainty, are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? You are not alone! Throughout our life, we are called to cope with life's hiccups, demands, frenetic pace by taking a deep breath, staying calm, going to the gym, spending time with family and friends, engrossing ourselves at work and going about our normal routines. Right now, our world as we knew it, is shifting beneath our feet and our capacity to cope is being stretched. We are digging deep to find our inner strength, implementing formerly successful coping skills and finding creative ways to remotely connect with those we love.

Are you feeling trapped in self-defeating patterns of behavior affecting your work, health or personal relationships? Is depression or anxiety getting in the way of feeling your best? Are you troubled by job or career uncertainty during these difficult economic times? No matter what the presenting problem, it often takes a trained professional, who, in collaboration with the client, helps sort out the issues and find solutions.

Maintaining a sense of direction and remaining at peace can be hard in today’s world. While stress, anxiety, and sadness are all a part of life, sometimes these feelings grow and become obstacles to healthy day-to-day life. I help people seeking to cope with issues such as loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma. Whatever unique challenges you are facing right now, I commend you for seeking help. All of us can use a little help from time to time.

Having been in practice as a psychologist for more than 30 years, I am convinced that change and growth take place within the safety and warmth of a truly understanding, and collaborative relationship. It has been a privilege to do this work and I am grateful for the opportunity to bear witness and contribute to my patients' lives. Our journeys are often complicated and demanding with places along the way that can be overwhelming, painful and confusing. Awareness and willingness to seek help when you are at an impasse is perhaps the most important step in the process of psychotherapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with individuals and couples on the journey of parenting. I work with clients in all stages of this journey from infertility, pregnancy support, pregnancy loss and stillbirth, new motherhood and post partum depression. I like to include both partners whenever possible to strengthen the family unit. Additionally I work with new parents to help them strengthen their bond to their child. I am also a skilled group leader with a focus on Pregnancy Loss, Mother Loss, and Pregnancy After Loss.

The majority of my clients seek balance, clarity, and self-care and are facing normative life transitions or unexpected challenges across the lifespan. Typical challenges include stress, friendships, family relationships, body image and self-esteem, anxiety/depression, as well as transitions across college/grad school in young adulthood; career goals; and milestones such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, parenting; or other health challenges that may require counseling or coaching, mind-body strategies and goal-directed wellness plans. The purpose is to build your confidence, compassion, and resiliency skills to flourish at any age.

The people I see are interested in working hard on the core issues interfering with their relationships and work. Therapy happens in real time in one's life, and should aim to resolve these issues without delay. When I see people initially, and when I teach other therapists, I emphasize that a feeling that something real is happening, that it is having an impact, should be part of the process from the beginning, even if one recognizes there is a lot of work to do.

In my work with couples, as well as with individuals and families, I strive to help people create the relationships they want. I approach therapy with a warm and collaborative style, asking non-judgmental questions and using a balance of sensitivity and humor. I find that people often get stuck in patterns of relating that aren't working for them, and I assist people in creating new habits, in which they feel heard, respected and cared for.

As a psychotherapist, I listen carefully and work collaboratively with each client in forming a safe and accepting relationship. This relationship provides the basis for exploration, problem solving, healing and growth. I have an interactive style which incorporates warmth, humor, authenticity and direct feedback as I help my clients work through areas in which they feel stuck, unhappy or overwhelmed. These areas may include marital and other relationship difficulties, anxiety around life transitions, concerns about parenting or caring for aging parents, coping with illness, and dealing with breakups along with many others.
