Therapists in Cambridge, MA

Welcome! With over 25 years of experience working with people of all ages as a trauma and grief therapist, I have helped individuals and families learn to cope with a wide range of issues including partner loss, anxiety, depression, family conflict, complex trauma and sexual assault. I provide parent guidance and coaching for caregivers who have children with challenging behaviors and special needs. I have expertise with foster, kinship and adoptive families. I offer therapy to tweens, teens and young adults who may need support with life transitions and relationships. My work with clients is always collaborative and strength-based.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to address concerns with relationships, identity, intimacy and sexuality, and spirituality, in addition to general psychological problems. My approach to therapy is active, relational, and result-oriented, encouraging clients take hold of their life and find the meaning that life holds for them. I have served as an instructor at Harvard Medical School and Psychologist at the Cambridge Health Alliance for more than 25 years. And have been serving on the Advisory Board of the Dr. Phil Show, since its inception. (See drchirban.com and swampscottpsychologicalassociates.com)

We are experienced, interactive, feminist therapists who believe that the therapy relationship must be compassionate, trustworthy, and genuine. We work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and conflicts in relationships. We also have developed expertise on the treatment of substance abuse, the widespread effects of violence against women (incest, rape, battering, and harassment), eating disorders, addictions, parenting issues, and problems in the workplace. In our initial meetings with clients, we work to develop realistic goals and a time frame for therapy. Throughout the therapeutic process, we help clients identify strengths as well as problem areas.

The client-centered psychotherapy services I provide are tailored to meet the individual needs of my clients. I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic (insight oriented), cognitive-behavioral (skills development) and relational treatment approaches, but the needs of my clients dictate the specific approaches I employ in our work. "Goodness-of-fit" between client and therapist, as well between client and treatment approach, is very important. I believe psychotherapy should address both surface-level problems (e.g. depression, anxiety, relationship conflict), as well as underlying causes of these problems, so it has a long-lasting impact.

I am a clinical psychologist with faculty/staff appointments at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I believe that therapy should be collaborative, supportive, and warm, while also facilitating real change in clients' lives. You may benefit from working with me if you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, angry, or lonely; or struggling with low self-esteem or lack of confidence. I can assist you in better managing relationship or family conflict, work- or school-related stress, parenting or caregiver stress, grief/loss, and major transitions.

I'm currently accepting new clients! I show up to my work with authenticity, warmth, and humor, believing therapy should always be a collaborative partnership. Together, we will work as a team, trusting your own knowledge of yourself and expertise of your lived experience. My therapeutic approach is informed by an anti-oppressive lens; my goal is to lift some of the weight that our systems dump onto us daily to create respite and to assist my clients in finding where they can adapt, tap into their agency, and grow.

Life is a journey of continual self-discovery, filled with challenges, stressors, and moments of adjustment. Sometimes, these demands become overwhelming, and navigating them alone can feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I offer client-centered psychotherapy and consultation services for adults. My expertise lies in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stressful life situations, relationship difficulties, and adjustments to life changes. Grounded in developmental, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and internal family systems (IFS) theories, my approach is focused on the client, practical, and strength-based.

Let’s start with learning how to dismantle shame, accept uncertainty, look for the good, and apply the attitudes that encourage growth through adversity. I enjoy watching a client get and maintain clarity, regain control of their life, and follow through with a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. Together, let’s challenge traditional methods that keep the client tied to treatment. Each session should feel like a conversation that leaves you with more answers and less self doubt. My goal is to work toward eliminating the need for therapy altogether. Ambitious? Sure. Realistic? Let’s see if we can make that a reality for you.

Why are you looking for a therapist? People usually seek therapy because they feel hurt, dissatisfied or unhappy in their lives. And they generally feel most comfortable with a therapist who is relaxed, accepting, non-judgmental on one hand and experienced, knowledgeable and confident on the other. During my twenty seven years of private practice, I have sought to embody these principles.
