My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal. This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior. I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.

I look forward to understanding your goals and values and offering the best scientific and humanistic practice to help you reach your desired outcomes. I have helped children, adolescents, transition-age youth and adults address traumatic experiences, loss, anxiety, depression, adjustment to psychiatric disability, and other stressful life transitions.

Whether predicted or unexpected, change can be some of the most difficult territory to navigate alone. Getting to the other side of a life transition tends to include addressing fears, grieving losses, and exploring and integrating new identities. In my practice, I provide a caring, non-judgmental place for clients to understand themselves better, process difficult feelings, change painful habits, and build a more satisfying life. Together we will figure out what it is you need in order to regain your balance and sense of freedom.

Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, family/relationship troubles, behavioral difficulties, or want a space for self-exploration and personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I have a passion for working with children, teens, and emerging adults as they navigate the challenges of growing up and experiencing life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide tailored support to each client and meet them exactly where they’re at.

Life can be unexpectedly intense and confusing as you journey into adulthood. Sometimes it’s due to major life changes, looming expectations or sometimes upsetting emotions can seem roll in like the weather. Finding the right therapist to help you sort through the questions and worries that are filling your mind can help you take effective action to set yourself back on course and feel well again. During your initial visit we will work together to set your priorities and goals for therapy. During your time in therapy, we collaborate to put concrete plans of action in place to help you along your journey. No step forward is to small.

Choosing a therapist is a brave choice, and I am honored that you're considering working with me. I am Dr. Hannah Clark (she/her), a licensed clinical psychologist located in Somerville, MA. I have over 10 years of experience providing evidence-based treatment to individuals, couples, and families. My primary specialties are in eating disorders and trauma-related conditions. I am especially interested in helping clients navigate role transitions and develop rich, meaningful connections in life.

I work with men who are feeling "off their game" and want to fulfill their personal and professional potential. Stuck in unhealthy habits? Repeating self-destructive patterns? Are you undermining your health and happiness? I give you accountability and support to make a change in how you take care of yourself. Stop beating yourself up. Start getting control of what really matters.

Accepting Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim/Tufts (Point32) and Cigna Insurance (I will soon be accepting BCBS, Oscar Health, United and Oxford). Life can be stressful and painful at times.

I can help you see your situation from a new perspective, learn new healthy coping skills and create stronger relationships. There is a future where you wake up energized, joyful and excited for the day ahead.

I enjoy working with couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, people of color, children, families, those of various cultural backgrounds, those with anxiety and depression, and those navigating life stressors or geographic moves. I like working with clients who are ready to work authentically on stated goals.

I provide individual counseling to young adults/adults in transition with a warm, easy-going and compassionate style. I've lived in countries including Kenya, Germany, France, Korea, China and all over the U.S. (NYC, DC, LA, Boston) and incorporate a more multi-cultural, sensitive approach. I focus on the client's desire to feel better overall. Just as one injures themselves and sees a doctor for help, I view counseling as a way to feel better, after emotional, mental, and spiritual injury and/or pain. I also focus on overall health&wellness, including mindfulness, the arts, spirituality& faith, food/nutrition, & physical fitness.

I provide psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults in a thoughtful, warm, compassionate atmosphere. I treat a spectrum of issues ranging from the commonly practical to the loftily complex, including trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, loss, sexuality, gender, LGBTQ, family, relationships, marriage, professional, identity, existential and spiritual confusion. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychoanalytic and contemplative theories of human development, function, and dysfunction. I am dedicated to helping my clients grow through their issues in a safe, comfortable, confidential space.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in relationship counseling. Couples most often come in saying, “we’re having difficulty communicating”. I understand relationship dynamics, emotional communication, and the neurophysiology of secure connections. I help clients better understand their patterns of connection as well as conflict, and I will help make your relationship stronger.

I am an IFS-informed and EMDRIA-certified therapist seeking to identify and move through the roots of learned patterns of behavior. I personalize sessions to cultivate an immersive visit and a deliberate learning environment. My hope is to find depth in our sessions to strengthen your relationship with yourself, your work, and others.

NOTE: the only insurances I accept are the student insurances for Brown University and Tufts University students. I help students, artists, athletes, and other high-level performers bring out the best in themselves and each other. I specialize in healing trauma, anxiety, creative and performance blocks, existential and relationship issues, and the impacts of social forces on mental health. I tend to fit well with patients who are smart, creative, funny, introspective, curious, and ready for change.

Are you seeking a deeper connection with the parts of yourself that call for healing? Are you motivated for change and to strengthen your capabilities? I aim to enhance your self-awareness to better understand and accept yourself, ultimately leading to a healthy and balanced life. I hold space for individuals to summon their resilience and uncover a lost connection to Self and others due to trauma or stress. Have you lost touch with your intuition? I will support and facilitate your ability to tune into your inner healing intelligence and by doing so, allow you to gain clarity, new perspectives and reconnection.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist who works with children, teens and young adults coping with anxiety, stress, low-mood, ADHD/executive function difficulties, relationship issues and life transitions. I work well with athletes, those who identify as high-achieving, and enjoy supporting the transition into adulthood. Many people I work with are looking to better understand and address the root cause(s) of their distress while also learning the skills necessary to increase their functioning, well-being or performance. I am currently only working with clients virtually.

There is a misconception that therapy is a place to seek advice, or vent to a therapist who sits passively, nodding with tacit understanding. Instead, imagine a therapy that makes no attempt to reduce symptoms, but achieves symptom reduction as a by-product. The more time and energy we spend trying to control, avoid, or get rid of unwanted private experiences the more we are likely to suffer psychologically in the long term. Therapy can support mindful action and direction which can then create a more meaningful life, even in the presence of pain.

I believe that you are the expert in your experience. I will learn from you and empower you to be the leader while creating a safe space to facilitate your process to overall health and well-being. We will work together to stir up the stories you are telling yourself and create a narrative that supports how you want to feel. I have a range of experience working with individuals across the lifespan who have been impacted by challenges including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, adjustment/life transitions, trauma, family conflict, LGBTQ, and stress management.
