Male Therapists in Brookline, MA
Rather than focusing only on weekly concerns or teaching from a manual, I encourage those who speak with me to say everything, especially what they can't say elsewhere.
I am a licensed psychologist currently serving as an attending psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital and as an Instructor at Harvard Medical School. In my small private practice, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults seeking personalized psychological care for concerns such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Drawing from my experience working on inpatient psychiatry units, I am comfortable working with a wide spectrum of concerns. I also offer consultation and assessment services to assist in clarifying diagnoses for those who prefer private, client-centered care.

The process of finding a good therapist can be difficult and discouraging. And if you’ve never tried talk therapy, it’s natural to wonder whether it will be helpful. Call me for a free consultation, and I’ll answer any questions you have about how it works. We can see if I’m a good fit for you, and if not I can try to help you find someone who is.

I approach each client with the assumption that you are coming to me with an intention to alleviate discontentment or suffering. I see my job as helping you articulate your reasons for seeking therapy, to understand the source of your issues, and to find strategies that bring relief.
My style is interactive, with an emphasis on caring and supportive feedback. I expect the client to establish the agenda for each session, trusting that the client knows best what needs to be addressed in any given session. I emphasize psychoeducation about the role of, and differences between, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

We go through life trying to figure out who we are and whether we can be accepted by family, co-workers, and friends. You learned strategies to show or hide certain parts of yourself to survive after experiencing hurt or rejection, pretending to be "okay" when others ask you how you are feeling to not burden them, but numb on the inside with anxiety or loneliness. Despite the desire to break out of the shell and be happy, life continues to be hard, especially when you look to others and seeing them being happy. And that is why you come to therapy: Because you want life to be meaningful and fulfilling!

I use the Gott man Method in couples’ counseling and I hold a Master's Degree in Pastoral Counseling.
I work with adults, groups, and couples, managing a range of personal and interpersonal challenges, from anxiety and depression, to addiction and major relationship dysfunction. If you are troubled by unsatisfying or unstable relationships with family members and/or partners, low self esteem, feeling stuck, concerns about your substance use, coping with transitions, spiritual or existential challenges, impulsive behavior, procrastination, or anxiety, I'd love to hear from you.

All hu man beings have within themselves the capacity for living happy, meaningful lives. We are meant to thrive, however it is quite common for distressing life experiences to interfere with our natural way of being. Sometimes obstacles are known to us, but have been resistant to change. Others remain hidden, but what we do notice clearly are psychological and emotional symptoms of distress (depression, fear and anxiety, emotional reactivity, irritability, addictions, etc.). These symptoms can significantly impact our quality of life, and almost always cause problems in relationships.

Going to therapy implies the courage to question ourselves and face the challenges that get in the way of self-acceptance. Our lives change and we often struggle to change with it. I believe therapy can be a transformative encounter that allows a different experience of ourselves. As a native Spanish-English speaker, I provide a culturally sensitive approach to therapy and am mindful of race, gender, sexuality, and class intersections. My background and my current role as a clinician at Harvard University Counseling and Mental Health Services have allowed me to work with patients from all over the world.

Many challenges in life are not meant to be overcome by us individually.
Do you feel discouraged at feeling unfulfilled, down, or lonely as a Christian? Do you feel a lack of a sense of belonging even when you are a part of a church community? What role does therapy play in the life of a Christian? A healthy supportive church community does offer much of what helps a believer flourish in Christ. However, living in this fallen world, we all have our fair share of trauma and grief, from our family, friends, and church, and many of our needs are beyond what our support community today can meet. This is where therapy or coaching with me could come in.

Waitlist for new clients
UPDATED 9/17: - -Current waitlist; prospective clients encouraged to email- - - Many people seek out therapy to decrease unwanted experiences; to feel less depressed, feel less anxious, etc. While I work with clients to address these concerns, I also help to identify what we can increase together. What are your values? How can we work together to add more to your life consistent with those values? As a solo practitioner, I deliberately maintain a small client caseload to ensure I am fully able to attend to my clients’ needs. My areas of expertise include treatment of depression, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties in adults.

My entire career has been spent working with teens, particularly young men struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, anger and family conflict.
I understand how difficult seeking help can be for many teens. With over 25 years of experience, I'm able to engage the most challenging young people, so they can get the help they need. I specialize in working with teens who are struggling across multiple domains in their lives (school, peers and family). My approach is both trauma-informed and strength based. I have extensive training in ARC (Attachment Regulation and Competency) interventions, DBT, and CBT. My experience running mental health programs affords me a unique understanding of educational, justice and mental health systems.

As someone specializing in psychoanalysis, I've learned that there are a myriad of causes that contribute to the stress, anger, anxiety, rage, hatred, and depression we may experience in life. Whether they be associated with the failures of caregivers, unmet needs, not feeling loved or wanted, relationship issues, or feeling as if one has no purpose in life, psychoanalysis has a way of addressing, working through, and resolving the psychological conflicts that emerge in one's life. The effects of working through troubling feelings not only alleviates suffering, it also results in more experiences of pleasure and happiness.

As a clinical neuropsychologist I work with clients to identify areas of cognitive strength and weakness and relate those patterns to known profiles of brain-behavior relationship. The process involves an interview, collateral contacts, and carefully selected standardized assessment of brain and emotional functioning. A neuropsychological evaluation may help identify dementia, direct therapies after traumatic brain injury, or tease out ADHD from learning disorder and other developmental conditions.

My work specifically focuses on helping people gain more self-compassion and patience; manage familiar bouts of self-hatred, guilt, rumination, obsessiveness and perfectionism; challenge ingrained myths about Self and the world; “try on” and then internalize more mature ways of coping; heal from past traumas using the body’ natural resources.
Are you feeling frustrated and stuck? Do you sense that you can do better? Are familiar coping responses no longer serving you as well as they used to? With over 15+ years of experience, I provide virtual counseling for adults that is secure and completely confidential. My specialty is in developmental trauma, which can leave an indelible impact on our adult functioning, relationships and bodies. I am particularly interested in studying and treating trauma's impact on men’s sexual development, such as unwanted sexual urges, sexual-identity confusion, addictions and fetishes. These issues require a value-neutral and nuanced approach.

I know how difficult it is to talk about our emotions and about things that hurt and make you feel depressed, anxious, or lost. I have dedicated most of my life to studying and practicing psychology, first, in my analysis to understand what was hindering my progress and what was causing so much suffering. Second, in my academic formation which is a way to help others find their true desire and fulfillment in their life.
