Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Belmont, MA

I am a Staff Psychologist at McLean Hospital and Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School. My compassionate and collaborative approach has helped clients strengthen their ability to overcome difficult situations, and given them the confidence to create healthier relationships with themselves and with others. I have expertise tailoring my interventions to each client, and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) strategies in sessions.

I specialize in college adjustment/ stress, anxiety, depression, body image issues, eating disorders, & obsessive compulsive disorder. My therapeutic approach is practical and flexible, grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and exposure therapy. I find that people often assume that they “should” know how to approach therapy. In reality, the process may not be quite so simple and may feel confusing. Thus, I frequently have conversations with my clients about how to use therapy and ongoing dialogues about our work together.

My work as a counselor and coach has been to help individuals who are struggling with weight related issues and the emotions that are connected to problematic eating patterns. My focus, with clients, has been to offer cognitive and behavioral retraining in a supportive and non-judgmental space. My goal is to help you to implement change by assisting you to identify your personal relationship to food, how and why problematic eating patterns have taken shape in your life, and how to change these patterns.

The ideal client would finally be open to change and hope to have better interpersonal relationships. This can be a client who struggles with their anxiety, possibly has poor attachment styles, and struggles with holding meaningful relationships (romantic, platonic, familial). Their goals would be identifying healthy boundaries and healthy responses, increasing effective communication skills, and identifying past relationships/present relationships in order to identify patterns/habits.

I have experience treating adults with grief and loss issues, coparenting and family issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, and parenting and life transitions including divorce, loss and employment. My ideal client wishes to improve their overall quality of life personally and/or professionally.

If I were to imagine an ideal client, it would be someone who wants to change no matter what their needs are. It would also be someone who is open to new and innovative treatment modalities. It is also beneficial to have someone who is not hindered in what they discuss. Everything is important.

I am currently accepting new patients. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders with young adults and adults. Clients and colleagues describe me as a thoughtful, warm professional with a good sense of humor. I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each client, and my goal is to provide a supportive atmosphere where we can work towards your goals effectively. My primary training is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which I integrate with insight-oriented therapy and other evidence-based treatment modalities.

I believe personal growth and healing can come from a strong therapeutic alliance. Change and recovery are possible. I promise to provide a safe, trusting environment where you will feel seen, understood, and accepted as you are. My approach is genuine, creative, and curious. I strive to help you recognize beliefs that are holding you back, more effectively face struggles in your life, and learn skills to develop healthier relationships and a more meaningful life. In the end, the larger goal is to make you a better ally to yourself.

I use evidence-based treatment approaches for adults struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and related issues, with a particular focus on women's gynecologic pain. My practice focuses on using cutting edge therapeutic approaches that provide demonstrable results in a relatively short time frame. My approach fosters a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where we work together to reduce fear of pain and physical sensations and modify behaviors to achieve your specified treatment goals.

My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.

Experience working with older adolescents/young adult, college age, general mental health, adjustment disorder, eating disorders, anxiety, depression.

I communicate with providers as needed on a regular basis. I use a dialectical behavioral approach as well as a cognitive behavioral approach to treatment.

I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families with co-occurring disorders. I know how difficult it is living with addiction and mental health issues, or living with a loved one who is struggling with these issues. If you are looking for help for yourself or you are a family member needing help to support your loved one, I am here to help. I have extensive training in evidence-based practices including ACT, Motivational Interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapies, CRA Family Therapy, and integrated dual disorders treatment and I have supervised and taught others these skills.

I am a therapist who primarily works with adults struggling with symptoms associated with C-PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My work with individuals consists of discussing self-perception/self-esteem, suicidality, challenging family dynamics, life transitions, and interpersonal issues. I am based out of McLean Hospital in their trauma continuum and also work at their Trauma and Dissociation Partial Hospitalization Program. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings at McLean and other facilities such as Boston Children's Hospital. As a therapist, I am often described as warm, validating, energetic, and easy to talk to.

As a psychotherapist I work with clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their history that has lead them to relate to themselves and the world in certain ways. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Exposure and Response Prevention and use these treatment approaches to address various issues including anxiety, OCD, depression, mood disorders, etc. As well as pursuing training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. With psychodynamic treatment I help clients dig deeper to understand what is beneath the surface so that we can together work through these issues .

I am committed in establishing a safe, warm and nonjudgmental space for my clients to get in touch with their feelings and seek ways to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. I am also a firm believer that laughter can help our work when appropriate.

I believe that an effective therapeutic relationship is built upon trust and an authentic connection between client and therapist. Many individuals are apprehensive about starting therapy as change can feel daunting. I strive to provide a comfortable and supportive environment that promotes positive change at your own pace.
