Male Therapists in Amherst, MA

I help adults free their minds from the grip of stress, fixations and unhelpful habits so they can be more present in their lives and skillful with their time, focus and choices. For many, they struggle with stage-of-life demands, caught between lists of expectations yet with a deep, guttural need to recapture vitality and fresh perspective about their life path. They feel held back by something. Others seek ways to abate the stress that unhelpful attachments breed. My clients seek change, not book recommendations. I offer them a forward-moving, holistic, mind-body, active and engaged approach that encourages their evolving self.

Eric believes therapy is a collaborative process in which the client is the expert in themselves and steers the ship and he helps to support them through what can be difficult, though necessary and important change. At the base of Eric’s work is a collaborative, empathic, non-judgemental, hopeful and accepting approach in which a unique relationship can form to help facilitate change and allow a person to become more accepting, patient, curious and compassionate towards themselves.

Relationships can be a place of deep connection and fulfillment, and yet the source of pain, suffering and conflict. Often both. The underlying foundation of love is there, but disagreements, small or large, can feel extremely painful and frustrating. You may vacillate between either pushing feelings to the side and trying to “just let it go”, or exploding because you just can’t stand it anymore. Is there a way to navigate this more gracefully? How can we communicate in a way that leads to understanding, closeness, love and authentic connection, rather than bitter arguments?

Walking into a therapist's office is an act of courage. Psychotherapy is challenging, collaborative work. A pivotal piece of psychotherapy is finding the right match in selecting your therapist.

Whether through neglect or abuse, we give up on our feelings, needs, vulnerability, and human connection. And as a result, as adults we feel alone, anxious, or hopeless.

I am a clinical psychologist in practice in Amherst since 1989. I work with a wide range of people, from college aged through older adults, and with a wide range of problems and issues including: negative or vulnerable self-image, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, losses, and life transitions. I strive to provide a warm, safe, collaborative, open atmosphere in which to help people find relief from suffering and enhanced vital engagement in living. I believe that pathways to growth and healing often involve increasing awareness of underlying self-defeating patterns in the ways people experience and live their lives.

Offering Parenting Consultations ONLY (sorry, I am not taking on new, individual clients). For 15 years, I've specialized in working with kids and their families, but I rarely have openings and often have to turn away parents who need help. I know how frustrating it is for parents to find therapists with openings, and with this in mind, I now am offering a series of three consultation sessions for parents to gain further insight into the roots of what their child is experiencing, and how parents can help. While my consultations are not a replacement for therapy, parents have said our meetings are extremely helpful.

I work with adults, adolescents and children. I am especially interested in helping men improve their communication skills in intimate relationships, and, in parenting; fostering their ability to identify and articulate their feelings, and, being more empathic of the other person.

We all encounter times in life when we just feel stuck and overwhelmed, sometimes unsure of why we feel this way and unable to move forward. Psychotherapy helps us to achieve a sense of well-being and make changes in our lives. My hope is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, which will allow you to achieve personal growth. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies with components of mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents.
