Therapists in Massachusetts

I practice soul work, helping restore and heal our connection to our deepest Self. I especially work with military and veterans, spiritual seekers, writers and artists in all genres, mid-life crises, men's issues, trauma and abuse survivors. I welcome clients seeking positive and comprehensive growth and change, a discovery or restoration of their gifts and creativity, and a deep healing relationship "out of the box." I do not practice conventional therapy for merely repairing our issues and adjusting to unhappy conditions. Rather, I nurture the unique soul and spirit in each person toward achieving meaning and creativity.

Trained at Boston University and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Thierry Guedj skillfully guides senior executives, entrepreneurs and driven professionals through their toughest leadership, career, and relationship challenges. Many of Dr, Guedj's clients come to him with a combination of challenges such as high stress, unsatisfactory work/life balance, career uncertainty, or sleep issues. Thankfully, through expert confidential guidance, actionable steps and unwavering support, his clients make quick and measurable progress toward improving their life and career satisfaction. A complimentary 30-minute initial consultation is available.

As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will: 1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change, 2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

My guiding principle as a therapist is that we are put on this Earth to fully enjoy and participate in life. I have several years experience working as a social worker and educator in several different capacities and contexts. My practice focuses on how family of origin paradigms as well as other life experiences, can keep us from reaching our full potential in life and how becoming aware of these can free us to become more fulfilled human beings.
