Aaron Frenz, M.D.
Psychiatrist
Newton, MA
Accepting new clients

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist who works with students using therapy, medication, or both, depending on what's helpful at the time. My goal is to support people in feeling more like themselves and moving toward the life they want. I strive to create a space where students feel heard, validated and able to grow.

Madeline Mitchell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Waltham, MA
Accepting new clients

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. Being a human is hard, and I firmly believe that we are never finished products. We're always capable of learning and growing when we want and are ready to do that work. Growth is rarely a straight path; there can be a lot to appreciate in the detours, but it’s not always easy to see on our own. That's where I come in. I...

Brennan C. Mallonee, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Brookline, MA
Accepting new clients

I help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I...

Accepting new clients

I consider my work with you to be a collaborative partnership centered on your strengths, values, and cultural contexts. In session I am always myself- creative, curious, compassionate, and open to anything you bring to the table. I also like to use humor because life often gives us a lot to laugh at.

Therapy is intensely personal but with the the right match you can begin to feel better. It takes courage to make that first call to start. Our work begins by focusing on your reasons for coming to therapy, whether it's a relationship problem, you're struggling with work-life balance, or you're experiencing significant anxiety or depression.

Courtney Holbrook
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Boston, MA
Accepting new clients

Hello, I'm Courtney. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help, as we may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable being vulnerable. Asking for help requires strength and courage and may be a journey through both darkness and light. It's important to trust the process, sit with our uncomfortable feelings, and accept our emotions for what they are. Vulnerability, shame, and fear may make it difficult to share, but know this is normal as we navigate change. There is a lot to be learned from o...

Michele Marquis
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Chestnut Hill, MA

Hello, I'm Michele. My passion lies in guiding individuals to feel connected to their higher self, learning to practice self-compassion, appreciating themselves, and viewing past pain or challenges as lenses to understand current issues better, providing a deeper understanding of self. Our sense of self is intricately tied to the narrative we construct about ourselves. Do you genuinely like yourself? Can you acknowledge and value all the lessons you've learned and the power you hold to shape you...
