My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal. This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior. I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.

I adapt my treatment approach to meet the unique needs of each of my clients. I centre interpersonal relationships and my clients’ individual strengths, using their agency to guide the therapeutic process. I focus on identifying individual patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, including how these develop through interactions with others and the environment. I also support clients in exploring their identity and the ways in which the systems around them impact their experience. I support clients in identifying how they want to interact with these systems and working towards these changes.

I work with men who are feeling "off their game" and want to fulfill their personal and professional potential. Stuck in unhealthy habits? Repeating self-destructive patterns? Are you undermining your health and happiness? I give you accountability and support to make a change in how you take care of yourself. Stop beating yourself up. Start getting control of what really matters.

I look forward to understanding your goals and values and offering the best scientific and humanistic practice to help you reach your desired outcomes. I have helped children, adolescents, transition-age youth and adults address traumatic experiences, loss, anxiety, depression, adjustment to psychiatric disability, and other stressful life transitions.

Whether predicted or unexpected, change can be some of the most difficult territory to navigate alone. Getting to the other side of a life transition tends to include addressing fears, grieving losses, and exploring and integrating new identities. In my practice, I provide a caring, non-judgmental place for clients to understand themselves better, process difficult feelings, change painful habits, and build a more satisfying life. Together we will figure out what it is you need in order to regain your balance and sense of freedom.

Choosing a therapist is a brave choice, and I am honored that you're considering working with me. I am Dr. Hannah Clark (she/her), a licensed clinical psychologist located in Somerville, MA. I have over 10 years of experience providing evidence-based treatment to individuals, couples, and families. My primary specialties are in eating disorders and trauma-related conditions. I am especially interested in helping clients navigate role transitions and develop rich, meaningful connections in life.

Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, family/relationship troubles, behavioral difficulties, or want a space for self-exploration and personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I have a passion for working with children, teens, and emerging adults as they navigate the challenges of growing up and experiencing life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide tailored support to each client and meet them exactly where they’re at.

Helping women navigate relationships, careers, motherhood, trauma, and major life transitions is my passion. I can guide you in building resilience, self-esteem and courage. I have developed specialized skills in addressing the complexities and transitions that often arise throughout a woman's life, creating a nurturing environment where clients can explore how to improve their life for the better.

Working together might be a great fit if you are an intelligent, typically motivated person who is ready to make positive changes that can dramatically improve your life. One of my practice mottos is "we can do more than talk about it, but we can talk about it, too." Sometimes it is really important to be heard - to get things off your chest in a warm, supportive context. But beyond that, it is also really beneficial to do things that will naturally result in feeling better. I've made it my specialty to gather as many practical maps, tools, and instructions for exactly what to do... to feel better and better: body, mind and spirit.

Life can be stressful and painful at times. I provide a caring and non-judgmental place to explore why you are currently suffering. Together we will find ways to help you feel better quickly. I can help you see your situation from a new perspective, learn new healthy coping skills and create stronger relationships. There is a future where you wake up energized, joyful and excited for the day ahead. Currently accepting Aetna, and Point32 Insurance (Harvard Pilgrim/Tufts Commercial plans). I will soon be accepting BCBS and Optum.

I specialize in aiding individuals grappling primarily with anxiety disorders, as well as providing support to entrepreneurs striving to expand their businesses, assisting those facing significant life changes, and guiding individuals seeking stress reduction strategies.

I enjoy working with couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, people of color, children, families, those of various cultural backgrounds, those with anxiety and depression, and those navigating life stressors or geographic moves. I like working with clients who are ready to work authentically on stated goals.

I provide psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults in a thoughtful, warm, compassionate atmosphere. I treat a spectrum of issues ranging from the commonly practical to the loftily complex, including trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, loss, sexuality, gender, LGBTQ, family, relationships, marriage, professional, identity, existential and spiritual confusion. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychoanalytic and contemplative theories of human development, function, and dysfunction. I am dedicated to helping my clients grow through their issues in a safe, comfortable, confidential space.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in relationship counseling. Couples most often come in saying, “we’re having difficulty communicating”. I understand relationship dynamics, emotional communication, and the neurophysiology of secure connections. I help clients better understand their patterns of connection as well as conflict, and I will help make your relationship stronger.

I provide individual counseling to young adults/adults in transition with a warm, easy-going and compassionate style. I've lived in countries including Kenya, Germany, France, Korea, China and all over the U.S. (NYC, DC, LA, Boston) and incorporate a more multi-cultural, sensitive approach. I focus on the client's desire to feel better overall. Just as one injures themselves and sees a doctor for help, I view counseling as a way to feel better, after emotional, mental, and spiritual injury and/or pain. I also focus on overall health&wellness, including mindfulness, the arts, spirituality& faith, food/nutrition, & physical fitness.

I am an IFS-informed and EMDRIA-certified therapist seeking to identify and move through the roots of learned patterns of behavior. I personalize sessions to cultivate an immersive visit and a deliberate learning environment. My hope is to find depth in our sessions to strengthen your relationship with yourself, your work, and others.

NOTE: the only insurances I accept are the student insurances for Brown University and Tufts University students. I help students, artists, athletes, and other high-level performers bring out the best in themselves and each other. I specialize in healing trauma, anxiety, creative and performance blocks, existential and relationship issues, and the impacts of social forces on mental health. I tend to fit well with patients who are smart, creative, funny, introspective, curious, and ready for change.

It can be rather disheartening to expend considerable energy trying to change something and be left with a similar outcome. It is not easy to lead a fulfilling life while being caught in patterns outside of awareness. Psychotherapy gives the opportunity to look inward and ask how a fleeting thought, a dream, or a subtle change may be related to ongoing difficulties. Taking a closer look at something while also being curious during that exploration can open up a greater understanding and lead to meaningful changes.
