Welcome! I provide individual therapy for college/ graduate students, professionals, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, crises of meaning, and the deeper questions that arise in times of uncertainty. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected- from themselves, others, or a clear sense of purpose. Our work together explores not just symptom relief, but what it means to live more fully and authentically. Together, we reconnect with your values, develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges, and explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping your present.
I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.
Hi I'm Beck. I'm a clinical social worker who specializes in working with individuals around relationship challenges and adult attachment concerns, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and mental health during infertility and pregnancy.
I am Dana Donovan, a licensed therapist with a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I have worked in an acute behavioral health inpatient unit, a medical trauma and burn center, and outpatient dialysis unit. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Indiana University Bloomington and my Master of Social Work from Boston College.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with years of experience working with a variety of clients, including both children and adults. I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, functional neurological disorder, dissociative identity disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, trauma, and more.
I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.
I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.
As a psychotherapist, I believe that a holistic approach is the key to building sustained happiness and resilience. Over the last decade, I have committed to an individualized collaborative approach toward wellness with a background as a certified personal trainer and certified nutrition coach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cambridge
Searching for therapists in Cambridge starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Cambridge MA therapists, look for listed specialties and therapy approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect when you meet.
Cambridge is compact, but local appointment options can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and format. If nearby offices in Harvard Square, Central Square, Riverside, or Agassiz have limited availability, virtual therapy can expand your search to more therapists licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides in-person, virtual, or both types of sessions. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Therapy in Cambridge can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are ready to see new clients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage before booking. You can enter your insurance details to get a session cost estimate before booking, then review therapist profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.
