Shamima Akhter
Providing a safe and validating space for others is a value of mine. This has lead me to pursuing a Doctorate in Psychology and thus far 8 years of experience. Throughout my training and career, I've always gravitated towards the college/graduate school population. I've especially appreciated working with students on relationships, identity, and self-love. Being a South-Asian, I've also enjoyed exploring cultural/ethnic/racial identity with clients. In a therapy session my approach is inviting, warm, curious, and a grounding presence. I strongly believe clients are experts on themselves; hence my approach to therapy is empowering and encouraging clients to lean into experiences to meet their goals. I like to use the metaphor that my clients are in the driver's seat and I'm there to support them as they explore where they want to go. Along with a multicultural lens, some therapeutic orientations I often pull from are CBT, ACT, and IFS. Gift-giving is important in many cultures and hence the gift I want to give clients is hope, validation, and safety. I also strive to plant the seeds of empowerment and self-love in clients and continue to nurture that together throughout our sessions. I encourage clients to try out various exercises/skills in between sessions to continue to meet their goals. Overall I hope a client leaves our sessions feeling supported, heard, and respected.

Kristofer Joondeph-Breidbart
I graduated from UMass Medical school and was trained in adult psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Prior to going to medical school I received a Masters in Teaching from Boston University and worked as a teacher. This unique background affects my approach to psychiatry. I believe that a good psychiatrist should work with you to help you learn about yourself and your mental health. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), psychodynamic therapy, supportive therapy, and Gottman style couples/relationship therapy. During my time at CHA I worked extensively with the Gender and Sexuality Clinic to serve patients of diverse sexual and gender identities. I also co-lead a group therapy for individuals in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. I have taught at the American Psychiatric Association’s specialized rotation for HIV Psychiatry, including lectures on how to provide effective telepsychiatry, and I have presented at a national meeting on teaching providers how to better work with patients to prescribe medications. I am a licensed physician in Massachusetts, New York, and California. I offer in person appointments in Somerville, MA as well as secure telehealth appointments to those residing in Massachusetts, New York, and California. In addition to medication management I offer individual and relationship/couples therapy.
Carolyn Comas, LCSW, CEDS-C
I am a certified eating disorder specialist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with their relationship with food, body image, and self. College can often be a time that increases these struggles with the demands of academics, sports performance for athletes, more independence and social pressures. My work is to help you create a better relationship with your body and food that can help lead to a more satisfaction in life. I also work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and the life transitions. Together we will create coping strategies to navigate through the mess and sometimes just to hold space to sit in the messiness that can be life. My work is collaborative. I am not here to tell you what to do but instead meet you where you are at and guide you to your goals that you want to meet in therapy. I bring warmth, compassion and of course some humor into our work together.

Sometimes our thoughts can lead us to feeling overwhelmed and trapped in our own heads. Allow me to help you unpack those negative thoughts, and empower you to create positive affirming ones. My goal is to work together with my clients to aid them in getting better acquainted with their emotions, and help them understand the relationship between their thoughts feelings and behaviors. As your therapist I will help you navigate various pressures, and triggers in order to be more insightful as a means of coping. I use a collaborative individualized approach and work together as a team with my clients. This enables us to jointly identify techniques that will empower your healing process! My specialties include work with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, and the LGBTQIA+ community whom are coping with anxiety, depression, body image, life changes, bi-polar disorder, ADHD, and other related conditions.

Jennifer Kornreich
I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. I'm interested in making those processes more conscious, so you have more awareness and control over your decisions and actions. I am sometimes quiet in session so we can observe where your thoughts and feelings lead us -- but I am not a passive listener, so I will give you plenty of feedback at intervals. Difficult moments in therapy, whether due to the subject matter of our talks or to the nature of our interaction, are usually blessings in disguise-- they are often clues that we can examine for their relevance to your current ordeals.
Anna Pettway
Finding a therapist can feel more overwhelming than continuing to bear the weight of stress and anxiety alone. Questions of identity, difficulty finding meaning, and navigating life’s transitions can often feel insurmountable on your own. Wondering if you’re going to show up to meet a therapist only to be judged, invalidated, or minimized can make you want to stop the search before you even start. My goal is to provide you with a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore and join with you in the healing process as you navigate the stressors that you are experiencing. I practice through a trauma informed lens and also consider the structures and systems that impact us. I incorporate feminist and liberation psychologies into my work. In partnering together, we can both accelerate the process of insight and change, and also gain more meaningful insights than through self-inquiry alone. I welcome patients from minoritized groups and have broad experience working with patients from diverse backgrounds. I aim to provide an inclusive environment for all people regardless of their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

Michael Lembaris
I'm a clinical psychologist and a trained psychoanalyst. I believe that what promotes growth and mental health is the process of putting real but hard to see aspects of your experience into words. This decreases their power and brings them more to heel for you. This is different from challenging thoughts or skill building. You as the patient should have clear evidence in therapy that you're coming to understand yourself better and more fully. Old, stuck ways of thinking should slowly give way to the ability to think more effectively about what is and what can be. Your sense of 'you' should grow wider and more secure, and your ability live and act with purpose of your choosing should slowly build.
Dr. Christine L Clark
As a licensed psychologist in New York, I specialize in working with both adolescents and adults who are facing anxiety, life changes, self-esteem struggles, stress, and challenges related to major life changes (such as going to college). My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and integrative. I combine evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness techniques. This combination helps address the unique challenges you may be facing while building self-awareness and self-compassion along the way. In our sessions, you can expect to share your story, and I will take the time to truly understand your experiences. Together, we’ll work to identify your needs and start developing strategies for managing stress and navigating life’s transitions. I believe that the therapeutic journey should be a partnership, and I’ll be there with you every step of the way

It's OK that you're here. Read that again. You are taking the very first step on your healing journey and finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task.
