Rights of Passage is a private practice in a beautiful, easily accessible and quiet location with free parking.

I have over 30 years of clinical experience and have developed a particular expertise at helping my clients move upwards through life crises and transitions.

Call or e-mail to set up an initial phone consultation.

My practice is centered on the idea of walking with each other. As a therapist, my goal is to travel with you wherever the road may take us. I consider it a privilege to be invited into the sacred space of your story – to bear witness to all that you share as we navigate, together, this part of your journey.

Dr. Macht-Greenberg is a licensed psychologist with 25 years of experience providing consultation and therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families.

Currently, Dr. Macht-Greenberg is Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at McLean Hospital.

Dr. Macht-Greenberg helps people manage sadness, anxiety, and life transitions by partnering with them to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship based in open communication.

My 20 years of working with adolescents and their families has taught me to approach clients with a non-judgmental, non-authoritative attitude. This helps clients take an honest look at their lives and identify what things need to change or be accepted. Meeting a client without preconceived expectations is critical because it gives me a chance to see the client from her/his own point of view. Also, I work very hard to not act too "therapisty," which is something that often hinders therapy with adolescent clients in particular (e.g., "How does that make you feel?").

My clinical work is integrative with the goal of helping an individual, couple, or family become more whole. My clients are diverse; I thoroughly enjoy working with the full age range, from high-energy little ones to quietly reflective older folks. Together we create a space where we can collaborate with curiosity and creative mindfulness, a space where the work of psychotherapy enables clients to tap their strengths and develop psychologically. My ideal clients are receptive to change and courageous.

There is meaning behind your behavior. The ways in which we interact with the world provide clues to what we are experiencing internally. It may be incredibly challenging to articulate precisely what is bothering you, but I'm confident we can work together to increase insight and understanding in a meaningful way. I specialize in adolescents and young adults and am happy to discuss the possibility of working together. UPDATE: Welcome Mango to the treatment team (see photos)! Mango is an adorable Havanese therapy puppy in training. She attends in-office sessions 2 days a week.

I work with adults, college and graduate students, adolescents, families, couples, social workers and groups. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey. My style includes creating a warm space for my clients to work through difficulties. You can expect a responsive experience where you can explore and find new ways to improve your quality of life.

My ideal clients are those who may be seeking healing from trauma, navigating anxiety and depression, and improving relationships. They're committed to self-awareness, open to exploring emotions, and willing to engage in introspection. They value authenticity, trust the therapeutic process, and actively participate in their own growth. They appreciate a clinician who is strengths based, trauma informed, and encouraging to help guide them through their unique and individual healing process. I am also a lifelong equestrian and strive to use my education and experience to help other riders overcome competition and performance anxiety.

Every client's healing path is different. We work together to find what works for you. Listening, empathy and non-judgemental acceptance are characteristics of my clinical approach. I believe that therapy is an interactive process and I promote a safe, supportive environment where individuals can become aware of new ways to manage difficult challenges, situations and emotions. My commitment is to help individuals grow, make changes that are important to them and expand their opportunities so they can move forward in their lives reaching their full potential and optimal health.

**Currently have a waitlist** We all reach points in our lives where things feel challenging or even completely overwhelming. Beginning therapy may seem intimidating making it extremely important to find someone who helps you to feel safe and comfortable. My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible. Therapy can be a safe place where you can let your guard down and explore your feelings at your pace. I am here to support you in reaching your goals by being both completely non-judgmental and supportive and also challenging you at times in the process of self exploration.

Hi, My name is Erin! I love to work with clients from ages 13 and older. I have various interests, but I am looking for clients seeking therapeutic support through life transitions, and are looking to better themselves through processing and coping skills. Therapy as a need is different for everyone, and I am open to hearing what your needs are, and seeing if we could be the best fit.
