Clients I've worked with are deeply introspective, balance their logical and emotional side, and are eager to understand their patterns and behaviors. Some are resistant to feel and share more deeply, however all are open to trying new things, including new wa...

Hello, I'm Sally. If you are feeling stuck in your relationship to yourself, to others, and to your lifeâs goals and purpose, I can help. We frequently receive and form distorted beliefs in childhood and beyond that cause us to believe we are not lovable, worthy, or okay as we are. We carry around these outdated belief systems about who we are, who others are, and what we are capable of, which limit our life experience. By uncovering these patterns and beliefs, we can clear the way for change ...
Hi there, I'm Maddy. I've been in the social work field for over eight years, and for the last four and a half years, I've dedicated myself to working as a clinical therapist.

Growth is rarely a straight path; there can be a lot to appreciate in the detours, but itâs not always easy to see on our own. That's where I come in. I...
I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but I think it only ever works in a context of empathy, respect, an...

As an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I view people through the lens of their intersectional identities, within the greater context of their environment.

I utilize a strengths-based, non-judgmental approach, and support you in gaining a greater understanding of yourself, your goals, and the step...
