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 ...
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 a psychotherapist, my role is to help patients understand the trouble in their lives and make significant changes. I believe it takes time to get to know the nuances of one's story. My approach is both collaborative and challenging. Therapy can involve helping people look at parts of themselves that are painful, or hard to see clearly. Some people find short-term therapy is enough for ameliorating current troubles, while many engage in long-term intensive therapy to uncover the roots of their...
Hello, I'm Russell. I have a client-centered, non-directive approach to therapy. This means that I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to explore your thoughts and feelings without imposing my own direction. I am also solution-focused, which means that after we discuss and explore a problem, I prefer to shift our focus towards finding solutions. If you're uncertain about what you want to work on and just feel that you could benefit from some support, I'm here to help. We ca...

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...

My approach to psychotherapy is person-centered, tailoring the therapy to the unique needs and lived experiences of each client. I draw primarily from psychodynamic therapies, with attention to the neurobiology of trauma and attachment. I also integrate narrative practices to help clients reauthor the stories they tell about their lives, and cognitive-behavioral practices to help transform insight into strategies for change. My style is authentic, non-judgmental, and warm, and I work with client...
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. I work with people from a whole person perspective/holistic approach focusing on your strengths and the things that might be getting in the way of your ...
