I have been a clinical supervisor and consultant with Clinical Alliance Services, LLC since 2018. I maintain a private practice and have worked for over a decade with adults who were chronically and acutely traumatized as children. Before working in private practice, I designed community service programs and training programs for students in medical, law and counseling disciplines in approaches to working with marginalized and traumatized populations. I also have extensive experience working in a rural community in rape crisis, domestic violence and hospital settings, including emergency departments, labor and delivery, and oncology. I believe in the transformative power of psychodynamic work and in harnessing the healing power of relationships, both of which I utilize as a therapist, supervisor and consultant. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family System (IFS), Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) , somatic and psychedelic therapies.

I am currently Secretary of the Massachusetts Psychological Association and am dedicated to making mental health care accessible, particularly to underserved communities.

I have worked extensively with marginalized populations, particularly first and second-generation immigrants and socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals.

When you’re struggling, it can be difficult to feel comfortable around others, show compassion for yourself, or let your guard down. Healing can feel impossible and it can be hard to see your own gifts. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to recover those gifts. I use a relational psychodynamic lens to help explore the connection between how you currently move through the world and how you learned how to make sense of the world. I also use somatic therapies like EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help bring attention to the way the body stores emotions and experiences and release patterns that no longer serve you.

I help clients navigate issues related to mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma and PTSD, and other major life stressors. I use an anti-oppressive lens and pay close attention to the way cultural and institutional factors impact your health. I believe that therapy is one part of a process toward connection and a sense of belonging with others.

We all, at times, encounter periods of pain or discomfort related to our relationships, work, responsibilities, or sense of self. It takes courage, trust, and a certain amount of hope to reach out for help. My approach to therapy is rooted in psychodynamic theory. I take seriously the task of understanding the unique narrative of your life, carefully listening to and reflecting on your experiences to unravel how they've sculpted you into the person you are today. Together, we will work to understand your mind, enabling us to confront the challenges and conflicts you face with newfound clarity and strength.

I work with individuals across all life stages, providing support for depression, anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, psychosis, and relationship dynamics.

Life’s challenges can often trigger complex emotions. Despite our best coping mechanisms, it can be overwhelming to understand what we are feeling and why. In therapy, I have a collaborative approach where I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences. Acting as a mirror, I provide a safe space where you can reflect upon your thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Through this process, my goal is to increase your self-compassion, resilience, and self-awareness so you can tap into your innate strengths and wisdom.

I also incorporate strength-based approaches, person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, motivational interviewing (MI), and Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT) in my clinical practice. Deeply committed to providing culturally informed care, I am dedicated to recognizing the complexity and richness of each client’s cultural identity.

I offer psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan and work with clients experiencing mood disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma/PTSD, disordered eating, substance use, and college adjustment. I work with clients across all identities and particularly enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I have experience working in college counseling and substance use settings as well as conducting psychopharmacological research. Prior to attaining my graduate degree in mental health counseling, my academic pursuits were in philosophy, which shaped my belief that psychotherapy is carried out in the service of living a flourishing life.

I utilize a psychodynamic (insight oriented) approach, integrating relational therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and trauma informed treatments. I also employ tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mentalization Based Therapy, when clinically appropriate. I strongly believe that our identities and backgrounds, including our culture, sexual orientation, and gender identity, play a large role in our development and identity formation. I value clinical relationships built on trust and aim to foster a safe and judgement-free space that helps my clients gain insight into their feelings, thoughts, and patterns of behavior.

I work with emerging adults, college students, and adults dealing with identity challenges, major life transitions, depression / mood disorders, anxiety, trauma / PTSD, grief, and college adjustment concerns. As a gay man, I am passionate about working with clients from historically marginalized communities, including the LGBTQIA+ population.

I conduct research in the Race and Gender Justice Lab of William James College and have co-published research on the experience of transgender youth seeking gender affirmations, as well as on gender and orientation diversity, in the court systems. I am currently the President Elect of the Graduate Student Board of Society for Personality Assessment.

My therapeutic orientation is grounded in principles from Liberation psychology, Black/African-centered psychology, mad pride, and disability justice. I work with clients to explore their lived experiences and emotions in the context of intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression. I also collaborate with clients in exploring alternative models of understanding psychiatric disabilities outside of pathologization and the medical model of health and wellness. I aim to co-create a therapeutic space that prioritizes transparency, agency, authenticity, understanding, and connection.

I walk alongside clients in navigating trauma and complex PTSD, mood and anxiety-based concerns, identity development (racial, gender, sexuality, disability), grief and loss, interpersonal and relationship-based issues, major life transitions and stressors, and experiences of oppression (institutional, internalized, interpersonal, ideological).

I enjoy working with multiply marginalized clients, especially those at the intersection of the Black/African diaspora, queer/trans, and disabled/neurodivergent communities. I am a Black/biracial, disabled, queer, genderfluid person, and am committed to interrupting carceral, pathologizing, queer-/transphobic, and racist practices in psychological spaces.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories while integrating principles from liberation and feminist psychologies and emotion-focused, mindfulness, and acceptance-based interventions. I seek to understand how clients view themselves in relation to their social and cultural contexts.  I strive to co-create an affirming and authentic space with clients by meeting them where they are at and seeking to understand what healing looks like for them at this point in their lives.

I offer individual therapy to adults of all ages who are navigating a variety of challenges, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship concerns, sexual and gender identity development, life transitions, and college adjustment. I enjoy working with clients of all identities and backgrounds.

I have experience working in both community-based and university counseling centers. In addition to clinical work, I engage in research exploring various LGBTQ+ topics, including trans identity development. My research, clinical work, and lived experience as a queer, trans nonbinary person inform the authentic healing space I seek to create with clients.

I am a licensed psychologist, with a private practice in Cambridge. I obtained my PhD at Long Island University, in Brooklyn NY, and have worked in various types of settings, including hospitals, community mental health centers, a university counseling center, and eating disorder treatment center. I currently provide individual therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, complex trauma, and acculturation/identity issues. Being bilingual (English-Spanish) and bicultural myself, I have a special interest in the experiences and needs of multicultural clients. My orientation as a therapist/clinical supervisor is primarily psychodynamic and trauma-informed, which I integrate with Feminist, family systems, and Health at Every Size (HAES) perspectives, as well as approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I believe in the power of relationships. We show ourselves, and become ourselves, through our relationships with others. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the needs and goals of each client, seeking to provide a safe space for collaborative exploration of thoughts and feelings, including those that may have been pushed aside. By working together to give voice to desires and fears, and to develop non-judgmental awareness of inner conflicts, clients can learn how to give themselves what they need and build resilience.

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist. I have been on staff at the MIT Student Mental Health and Counseling Service since 2003 and am also in private practice. I have been supervising Harvard Medical School APA interns and post-docs since 1997, previously at Cambridge Health Alliance, where I co-founded the Asian Clinic, and currently at the Mass Mental Health Center (MMHC)/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I integrate psychodynamic theories of objection relations, self-psychology, attachment and acculturation in globalization era in my dual specialty practice in psychodynamic psychotherapy and clinical neuropsychology (specializing in ADHD) with adolescents and adult populations individually and in groups. I am originally from China and am a faculty and board member of the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance (CAPA).

I am a former staff psychologist and group coordinator at Mental Health & Counseling at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where I worked for seven years. I am a faculty member at the Psychodynamic Couples and Family Institute of New England, former faculty at the Couples Conference, supervisor for doctoral students at Clinical Alliance Services, and an adjunct professor at Harvard School of Graduate Education and Boston University’s PhD. program in Counseling Psychology. I am also a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant with VISIONS, Inc.

I received my bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in cultural anthropology (with a focus on South Asian Diaspora studies) and psychology. I received my masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Denver, where the bulk of my training focused on the treatment of couples. I wrote my dissertation on applying self-psychology to masculine gender role stress and implications for couples therapy—or in plain terms, how to work effectively with male partners who struggle to be vulnerable, name internal experiences, and participate in couples therapy due to gender role stress and socialization.

I have a developed a specialty integrating my DEI and cultural anthropology knowledge into my work with couples, specifically interracial and intercultural couples, and I frequently present and teach on this topic. I also enjoyed reviewing books and have published pieces in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, the International Journal of Group Psychotherapy, and GROUP: Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society.

My approach integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs. I draw from relational psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy, trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). Additionally, I incorporate developmental psychology, mindfulness, and multicultural perspectives, ensuring our sessions are holistic and person-centered. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, family conflict, or life transitions, my goal is to guide you toward clarity and healing, empowering you to overcome life’s challenges.

I work with adults with concerns related to mood disorders, anxiety, relationships, trauma and life transitions. I also specialize in medical coping, immigration trauma, and identity development. Through my experience in hospitals, schools, and community organizations, I will help you navigate the complexities of life with compassion, strength, and hope.

As a first-generation immigrant from Eastern Africa, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, with a deep commitment to supporting diverse communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. Beyond therapy, I also mentor new clinicians, lead community initiatives, and advocate for equity and justice.

My academic and vocational path is guided by a commitment to understanding how emotional and spiritual dimensions of health inform and support one another. I hold an undergraduate degree in Biology, with a minor in Philosophy, from Bryn Mawr College. During my undergraduate studies, I enrolled in graduate courses in the University of Pennsylvania's Master of Bioethics program, where I developed a deep interest in the ethical frameworks, beliefs, and values that shape our health care system - particularly in the realm of mental health care.

Serving as a nursing assistant and volunteering with the Trevor Project, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ+ youth in crisis, deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, inclusive care. These formative experiences in clinical and crisis settings shaped my decision to study nondenominational chaplaincy and pursue an MDiv at Harvard Divinity School.

I believe supporting both emotional and spiritual well-being is integral to holistic healing. I am deeply interested in how psychotherapy and spiritual care complement one another to support people in cultivating meaningful relationships and resilience.

My academic and professional journey lies at the intersection of psychology and public health, a space I believe is critical to advancing equitable and effective healthcare. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, with minors in Public Health and Education, from the University of California, Berkeley. Following graduation, I spent four years working with the San Francisco and Los Angeles Departments of Public Health, where I witnessed firsthand the systemic challenges that prevent patients from receiving the quality care they need.

Through emotionally charged conversations with patients and frontline work in public health, I became increasingly passionate about improving the systems that support care delivery. This interest led me to pursue a Master of Public Health in Health Management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

I am driven by a commitment to improving access to care through thoughtful healthcare administration, efficient care coordination, and continuous process improvement. My goal is to help build systems that are not only operationally sound, but also compassionate and responsive to the needs of the communities they serve.

My goal as a therapist is to create a collaborative, culturally attuned space in which you feel deeply seen and supported. I work from a relational psychodynamic lens to explore how early experiences and relationships shape how you move through the world today. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Therapy (CT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure & Response Prevent (ERP), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you build practical skills and create meaningful change. My work is guided by a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive lens.

I support adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief and loss, identity exploration, life transitions, college adjustment, relationship challenges, and immigration stress. I also have specialized expertise in working with Latinx and immigrant communities, as well as individuals impacted by sexual exploitation and trafficking.

As a bilingual, bicultural Indigenous Colombian first-gen, queer clinician, I bring lived experience and deep dedication to my work. I believe our identities (e.g., culture, migration story, sexuality, gender) profoundly shape our healing. As a member of the National Latinx Psych Assoc, I strengthen my socially conscious, identity-affirming advocacy work.

I offer services in English and Spanish.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational frameworks. I also integrate liberation psychology and strengths-based approaches to support clients in exploring their identities and relationships within broader systems of power and oppression. My style is collaborative and warm, working alongside clients to support their healing and growth.

I offer therapeutic services to individuals navigating mood and anxiety disorders, grief, life transitions, college adjustment, displacement, and identity development. I have experience supporting Asian diasporic and immigrant communities, as well as those exploring bicultural or multicultural identities, cross-cultural adjustment, and spiritual growth.

As a bicultural individual shaped by experiences in both China and the U.S., and as a former international student, I bring personal insight into migration, belonging, and identity formation. My training includes work in community mental health, hospitals, university counseling, and seminary studies.

I offer services in English and Mandarin.

I tailor therapy to each of my clients, as we all come with our own set of life events that make us who we are. I am informed by liberation, feminist, and decolonial principles and integrate relational and psychodynamic theories with acceptance and mindfulness-based therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also have extensive training in Exposure Therapy for panic and agoraphobia, PTSD, OCD, and specific phobias. I help clients unpack and ‘make sense’ of their past, so that they can develop more mindfulness and coping in the present and build a future that feels authentic to them.

Mental distress is a sign that an aspect of our life is clashing with our Self. As such, I work with personality and identity-related questions (gender, religion), relational distress (attachment, CPTSD), and impulsive/self-destructive behaviors (risky sex, self-harm, substance use). I also work with mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and trauma disorders.

I am a bilingual, Palestinian Jordanian, trans and queer, immigrant man. I enjoy working with adult clients of all identities and backgrounds. My research focus is on trauma, particularly sexual trauma, in trans and nonbinary individuals (TNBI). I consider myself a healer and aim to cultivate an affirming and motivating space for clients to heal and grow.

My style is warm, empowering, and deeply collaborative. I work from the understanding that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful vehicle for healing, built on fostering genuine compassion and unconditional positive regard. I use an integrative approach tailored to clients’ unique needs, drawing from psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My work is trauma-informed, integrating mindfulness, Liberation Health, and anti-oppressive frameworks, while emphasizing awareness and somatic experience.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, relationship and family dynamics, and college adjustment. I specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and individuals navigating chronic illness. I offer an affirming space for diverse identities and relationship dynamics.

In addition to a Master of Social Work, I have a Master of Education in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies and a background as a health and wellness/biology teacher, which provides me with a unique understanding of the challenges students encounter in educational environments.

My approach to therapy is guided by the belief that healing and change occur in relation with others. I am committed to meeting people where they are, taking time to learn their unique needs and life experiences, and honoring their own self-knowledge. I strive to create a safe and contained space that fosters exploration and self-actualization. I draw from psychodynamic and relational therapies, while also integrating narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My style is warm, genuine, and collaborative, and I practice with a queer, feminist, and anti-oppressive lens.

I work with adults of all ages to navigate a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity issues, life transitions, interpersonal struggles, grief, and loss. I specialize in working with complex and developmental trauma, relationships and attachment, and first-generation challenges and experiences.

I have experience working in schools, colleges, and community mental health. My personal and professional experiences have informed my passion for working with individuals impacted by the carceral system. I also find joy in expanding and enriching the therapeutic experience through the use of music, theater, and other art forms.

We grow in relationships when we feel seen, responded to, and appreciated. My goal is to build a therapeutic connection together that enables you to work on challenges you are facing while also empowering you to feel more connected to yourself and others. I provide a curious, caring, collaborative presence in the hopes that our sessions offer a space to take a breath, experience your feelings, and explore. My therapeutic approach is grounded in relational cultural therapy and psychodynamic therapy. I also incorporate narrative, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing in my work.

I support clients experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, family and relationship issues, ADHD, grief, and identity exploration. I have experience working with college students, including first generation and international students, and educators. I welcome all clients including BIPOC, queer, trans, and gender-expansive individuals.

I am a former educator and work from a strengths-based and trauma-informed perspective. I draw on attachment theory and systems theory to understand clients’ experiences in the full context of their lives, including how our identities, needs, and experiences are connected to our communities, cultures, and the broader forces that shape our well-being.

My approach to psychotherapy is primarily relational and psychodynamic, guided by the concept that healing and change happen in relationship. I aim to create a containing environment where we can be compassionately curious about how your past experiences inform your present. My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Liberation Health Model, and mindfulness-based interventions to help meet clients’ unique and wide-ranging needs. I provide a supportive, affirming space for clients’ diverse intersecting identities and experiences (e.g., race, immigration status, gender, sexuality).

I provide psychotherapy to adults of all ages and have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, grief and loss, shame, trauma, and relational stressors. I also have expertise supporting clients through the challenges of college, graduate school, postgraduate life, and emerging adulthood.

Before arriving at CAS, I completed a postgraduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance. I also worked in university, medical, and community-based mental health services in academic counseling, peer education, and clinical research.

I work from a relational-cultural, psychodynamic lens rooted in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and liberation-centered therapeutic work. Within a trusting relationship, we will adapt our work to your needs, which may involve use of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, intersectional feminist therapy, narrative therapy, expressive arts therapy, and/or grief counseling. Mutuality is the essence of my work; in relationships between people, people and nature, and people and their socio-cultural-political landscape.

Intentionally focused on de-pathologizing our human experiences, I work with adults navigating relational dynamics, anxiety/mood disorders, complex/interpersonal/institutional/systemic trauma, queer-trans and ethno-racial identity development, grief, transitions, immigration, body image, neurodivergence, chronic illness, and economic stressors, in context.

I have worked extensively with survivors (aged 18-72) of gender-based violence in India and the US. Consensual resource-sharing, political education, therapeutic self-disclosure, seeking feedback, and reflecting on our interpersonal dynamics will be embedded within my therapeutic work, which will be adapted to your personal needs from one session to another.

Therapy serves as an opportunity to be curious – to explore the patterns and narratives we carry, repeat, and, at times, feel bound by. Through gentle curiosity, we create space for healing and give ourselves the opportunity to blossom into more authentic versions of ourselves. My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theories. With compassion and warmth, I listen closely to the unique story of your life, honoring the experiences that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we will untangle these experiences and cultivate hope that life can improve in ways that feel deeply meaningful.

I offer individual psychotherapy to adults and older adults with a variety of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, trauma, relational difficulties, and identity exploration. Importantly, I strive to remain mindful of the nuanced ways our identities shape our experiences and influence how we move through the world.

I have specialized training in geropsychology and am passionate about helping adults navigate the complexities of aging, later-in-life transitions, caregiving, existential concerns, and ageism. My experience also includes working in college counseling centers, memory disorder clinics, community mental health, and with veterans.

I am a Master of Public Health candidate in Health Policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, with a deep commitment to expanding equitable access to mental health care. Prior to graduate school, I worked at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, within the Department of Population Health Science and Policy, where I supported research and initiatives focused on improving health systems and outcomes.

My interest in public health began during my undergraduate studies, where I had the opportunity to take several public health courses, introducing me to the connections between health, policy, and equity. This interest deepened after graduation, both through my professional experiences and firsthand encounters with the barriers to accessing health services, especially mental health care.

I am particularly passionate about mental health, food and nutrition, social safety net programs like SNAP and Medicaid, and housing. Through my studies and work with Clinical Alliance Services, LLC, I hope to deepen my understanding of mental health practices, insurance and benefits systems, and how these can be better integrated into policy and care delivery.
