Therapists for college students near 02138

I work from a feminist, attachment-informed, neurodiversity and queer affirming framework and incorporate relational, psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) approaches in my practice. We will explore how the different parts of your personality create patterns in your life, relationships and emotional dynamics that inhibit your capacity for love, authenticity, and peace. By compassionately witnessing how your parts have helped you survive, we will create a space for you to move towards a life free from the weight of trauma, oppression, shame, and grief. I work with adults and couples/polycules affected by mood/anxiety disorders, complex trauma/PTSD, identity concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD), and LGBTQ+ issues. I work with clients across a wide spectrum of presenting concerns and specialize in working with clients healing from complex trauma. I am a lesbian and neurodivergent clinician with extensive experience working with queer and neurodivergent clients. As a former domestic violence advocate, I appreciate the power of relationships to both heal and harm. I am certified in EMDR and trained in IFS (Level I and II), including training in Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).

I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience in higher education, community mental health, and hospital outpatient services. My approach is relational, active, and compassionate. I work with clients to increase active coping, reduce distress, and take steps that add to the quality of your life. Areas of special interest include anxiety and depression; trauma and post traumatic stress; grief and loss; relationship concerns; identity development and issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality; and veterans' experiences. In addition to my private practice, I supervise psychology doctoral students and provide outpatient psychotherapy at a local hospital.

Hi there! The clients I work with are college students and young adults who often feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges and want practical support to feel more in control. You may find yourself overthinking, stuck in worry loops, or struggling with patterns like perfectionism or intrusive thoughts -- all very normal experiences. If you are looking for a space to better understand yourself or build healthier ways of coping, you're in the right spot! Maybe you are motivated for change or unsure where to start. I will bring a collaborative and supportive approach that balances insight with real-life tools you can use day-to-day.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and collaborative. I draw on a range of modalities, including psychodynamic, relational, and attachment theories, as well as dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy, to meet my clients’ unique needs and experiences. My commitment to anti-oppressive, liberatory, and feminist principles means that I pay close attention to how systems and cultures shape us. I seek to foster a warm and transparent therapeutic environment that is welcoming of clients’ authentic voices. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, work stress, life transitions, grief, relational ruptures, and individual or collective trauma, as well as cross-cultural and belonging issues. As a Third Culture Individual (TCK) I enjoy working with first /second generation immigrants, expatriates, and international students. I have worked in various settings including hospitals, universities, and international humanitarian NGOs in North America, West Africa, the Middle-East, and Central Asia, moving between resourced and under-resourced environments. I studied at Université de Montréal (MArch), Harvard University (MDes, PhD), Smith School for Social Work (MSW), and UPenn.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, New York, and Florida specializing in working with individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related issues. I work with clients of all ages either in-person at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA)’s Cambridge and Melrose offices or via Zoom. The services I offer include weekly outpatient therapy, as well as an intensive outpatient therapy option. I also offer diagnostic assessment services, including autism, intelligence, and achievement testing.

My therapeutic orientation is grounded in principles from Liberation psychology, Black/African-centered psychology, mad pride, and disability justice. I work with clients to explore their lived experiences and emotions in the context of intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression. I also collaborate with clients in exploring alternative models of understanding psychiatric disabilities outside of pathologization and the medical model of health and wellness. I aim to co-create a therapeutic space that prioritizes transparency, agency, authenticity, understanding, and connection. I walk alongside clients in navigating trauma and complex PTSD, mood and anxiety-based concerns, identity development (racial, gender, sexuality, disability), grief and loss, interpersonal and relationship-based issues, major life transitions and stressors, and experiences of oppression (institutional, internalized, interpersonal, ideological). I enjoy working with multiply marginalized clients, especially those at the intersection of the Black/African diaspora, queer/trans, and disabled/neurodivergent communities. I am a Black/biracial, disabled, queer, genderfluid person, and am committed to interrupting carceral, pathologizing, queer-/transphobic, and racist practices in psychological spaces.

Therapy is an opportunity to make meaning of our experiences and achieve agency in the here and now. My goal is to partner and collaborate with my clients in that process. I am deeply interested in how we tell the stories of our lives and use those stories to cope, make sense of reality, and understand ourselves. Grounded in trauma-informed psychodynamic and relational practice, I draw from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness therapies, with a particular belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I provide individual therapy to adults of all ages and backgrounds and specialize in depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, life transitions and adjustment to new circumstances, gender and sexuality, complex trauma, identity, relationships and substance use. I have worked in palliative care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where I served on the racial justice committee, the values of which I strive to bring to all of my work. I also have a background as a theater professional and love working with people navigating the nuances, joys, and complexities of creative life.

My goal is to help you connect more deeply with yourself and move through life’s transitions with confidence and care.

My clinical orientation primarily emphasizes psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy approaches and is rooted in relational and person-centric models. I have advanced training in psychodynamic approaches as a Fellow at the Boston Psychoanalysis Society and Institute. My style is eclectic and I derive techniques from a comprehensive range of approaches, including solution-focused, narrative, multicultural and expressive models of psychotherapy. I recognize that there are cultural limitations inherent to each of these approaches and endeavor to tailor the therapeutic experience to respect clients’ diverse backgrounds. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, grief, major life transitions, relationship concerns, identity-related issues and addiction. I also have specialized experience working with college students, including international students, dealing with adjustment and academic concerns. Having trained in both the United States and India, I am attentive to the intricacies of navigating cross-cultural identities. By integrating insights from both Eastern and Western psychotherapy approaches, my goal is to provide a compassionate and strengths-based environment to foster holistic well-being and empowerment for clients’ lived experience.
