Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Somerville, MA
I have been in private practice in the Boston/Cambridge area for 35 years working with adults and adolescents, couples and families. I work with clients utilizing a trauma informed lens as well as elements of liberation psychology. I feel all clinical work must begin with a thorough understanding of a client's multiple identities and how those identities interact within their communities and the larger culture. My work and my passion are embedded in a deep commitment to social justice.

Therapy can be a wonderful way to become more self aware, build new skills to address unexpected challenges, heal and move forward. My career in social work is rooted in person centered, solution-focused treatment that highlights the strengths and resiliency of the folks I serve. I encourage clients to interrogate which systems of oppression have molded their sense of self and worldview. I have experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and those wishing to fine tune interpersonal- familial skills.

Together, we can evaluate how your personality, behaviors, lifestyle, and relationships come together either to promote or impede your health. I am skilled with helping people whose anxiety manifests as obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, perfectionism, and other such behaviors. My attention to all-around health is also useful for working with those experiencing depression or addictive behaviors. In addition, I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing relational or familial difficulties, romantic/sexual dissatisfaction, or issues at the intersection of gender and culture.

Hi I'm Henry, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy. Long before I began to work as a therapist, I have believed that narrative has a unique power to help us define both our experience and identity. I graduated with a degree in film and medieval history from Marlboro College, then worked in production and as an actor on independent films, before moving to digital marketing. Eventually I turned to social work. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Boston University in 2022. Before joining Mountain View Therapy, I helped veterans struggling with homelessness, addiction and post-traumatic stress in the Somerville area.

My therapeutic approach is informed by psychodynamic and relational theories, as well as somatic (body focused) perspectives, narrative techniques, and anti-oppression principles. I seek to draw connections between clients’ histories and their experience as it unfolds in the here-and-now of the therapeutic exchange, all in service of coming into deeper relationship with oneself. My therapeutic style is collaborative, curious, and compassionate with attention to the relationship between us, as individuals, and the systems that impact us.

Welcome! I offer clinical treatment to people experiencing trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, & issues of identity (race, gender, sexuality, culture). Traumatic experiences have a way of shackling themselves to the body, whether they are accumulated over time or single incidents which compromised our safety. We seek to protect ourselves from a world that failed to protect us, often coping in ways that hurt in the long run. In our work together we will identify sources of pain, the impact they have on your life, & determine ways to reclaim power so that your body becomes a place of safety rather than a site of trauma.

At Boston Center for Couples and Sexuality, we recognize that while all humans struggle with one issue or another, at one time or another, it can be difficult to seek help and support. Expectations that you might have of yourself or expectations that you think or KNOW others have of you can really weigh you down when life gets busy. Sometimes you know exactly what you need help with, and other times, things just don't feel right and you just aren't sure what kind of help you need. Our clinicians will listen, ask good questions, and look at problems with you to figure out how to get you back on the path where you want to be. We work with individuals and committed couples, as well as those practicing consensual non-monagamy. While communication skills and sexuality issues are a significant part of our clientele, we also work with many patients with depression, anxiety, or grief as their presenting complaint.

I believe relationships are the foundation of mental wellbeing. Are you struggling to maintain healthy, satisfying relationships with friends, partners, or family? Is your relationship with yourself plagued by an inner critic, guilt and shame, or emptiness and disconnection? Do memories and emotions from previous relationships and trauma keep you from being the best version of yourself? Therapy can be place to learn the tools to relate compassionately and authentically with yourself and others, and I have found that this approach leads to the deepest healing from depression, anxiety, and trauma.
