About Me. I am a psychotherapist and author in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In addition to my work at the Cambridge Therapy Center, I am the author of a recent book on addiction (The Disabled Will), teach at Lesley University, and write regularly for Psychology Today.
Experience. I have experience working at hospitals and clinics throughout the Boston area, including Boston Medical Center, the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health, and the Freedom Trail Clinic (an MGH-affiliated clinic for the treatment of serious mental illness). I also have held academic appointments at the University of Cambridge, the Australian National University, and Peking University.

About the Practice.
-
We charge $175 per session. This is commensurate with other practices in the Boston area.
-
In order to provide personal and flexible treatment, the Cambridge Therapy Center is not “in-network” with any insurance panels.
However, if you have “out-of-network” insurance, we can provide an itemized invoice to submit for reimbursement. Please contact us if you have questions about this process.
-
For convenience and accessibility, all appointments are currently held via telehealth, via a secure HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.
If you are interested in meeting in person, we plan to add an in person option in offices in the Harvard Square area in 2025. Please contact us if you are interested in this option.
-
Availability changes as new clients join the practice. However, we make our best effort to keep availability information up to date.
We currently do have availability for individual therapy via telehealth.
