Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Cambridge, MA

I'm a nurse practitioner with six years of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient psychiatric settings. I specialize in addiction and substance use, depression, and general psychiatry — working exclusively with adults. After years of high-paced clinical work, I built a telehealth practice designed around real life: I see patients evenings and Saturday mornings, so quality psychiatric care doesn't have to compete with your workday. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach — focused on what actually helps you move forward.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

Hi, my name is Sean and I would like to welcome you to therapy. If you are feeling stressed, stuck, and/or overwhelmed with life circumstances, you have come to the right place. I have been passionate about providing quality therapy for many years. Therapy can lead to insight and growth and help build a quality of life that you truly deserve.

I currently utilize the following models in therapy:

Motivational Interviewing is a communication style designed to support active listening and client autonomy. You will feel heard and supported to focus on specific goals for your therapy experience. Change can be challenging. You may even enjoy some of the things you seek to change. This is often a completely normal experience. We will explore your goals in a non-judgmental and validating manner.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured goal-oriented model that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Having racing thoughts and feeling angry, sad, and/or worried are often normal experiences for many of us. When experiences impact your functioning, this may result in distress and/or conflict. We will collaborate to identify patterns that may be unhelpful and develop coping skills that may help you resolve your concerns.

Solution Focused Therapy is a future orientated model. We will collaborate to determine solutions that could help you move forward towards your preferred future. This includes exploring your strengths and resources that can be utilized as key supports during your therapy journey.

Trauma Informed Care is a framework that ensures therapy offers you a safe space where psychological and emotional safety is paramount. You will be empowered to have a voice and choice during the therapy process. Moreover, you will feel a sense of trustworthiness and transparency during your therapy journey.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. They often describe a sense that their personal growth has stalled, even when they can't quite put their finger on why.

With 15 years as a LICSW and over 20 years in the mental health field, I’ve learned that the first step toward moving forward is connection—creating a space where honest and challenging conversations can happen.

My path into this work started with film. What drew me was people in their real moments, the hard ones, the ones that matter. In 2004 I volunteered on a suicide hotline, and I didn't want to capture those moments anymore. I wanted to help people find their way through them. That's still what I'm here for.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience across private practice, outpatient care, community mental health, and interdisciplinary teams. I've also held supervisory and leadership roles, mostly with clinicians early in their careers.

I work with adults of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, managing anxiety, anger, overthinking, and life transitions. My approach draws on ACT, CBT, and mindfulness based practices, shaped by Taoist philosophy, Zen Buddhism, and existential psychology. I pay close attention, I don't push, and I say what I notice.

Sessions are available via telehealth, Tuesday through Saturday, across Massachusetts.
