I have worked in several clinical and therapeutic settings including working in private practice for several years, and having had the unique opportunity to work with underprivileged folks in a correctional setting both in an individual therapy and group therapy capacity. These unique experiences have given me the opportunity to work across a variety of settings and acquire a multidisciplinary approach for individuals with unique and specific needs.
I am a compassionate provider who has worked as a psychiatric/mental health nurse for 15 years prior to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I strive to develop trust through therapeutic communication with my patients. My goal is to work together to plan and implement the best possible treatment plan based on individual needs.
In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.
I am a compassionate and experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 19 years of experience in mental health care. I provide personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults, with a focus on understanding each person’s unique needs and goals.
My approach is open, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I believe that effective treatment begins with trust, honesty, and respect. I take the time to listen, understand each patient’s concerns, and create a treatment plan that feels both appropriate and manageable.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression and mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, substance use and addiction recovery, medication management, and psychopharmacology. My goal is to help each patient feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
Alan-Michael (Professor C.) honors individuality and celebrates personal gains.
Do you find yourself constantly second guessing your decisions, feeling anxious more often than not, or struggling to feel truly content in your own life? Maybe stress has taken over, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're quietly battling low self esteem and self doubt. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self esteem struggles, and that persistent feeling of not being at peace with themselves. My approach starts with genuinely getting to know you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. Before we talk about treatment plans, I want to understand your story, what's weighing on you, and what a better life looks like for you.
In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in diagnosing and treating mental health as well as medical conditions across the lifespan. I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric nursing and have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, and ADHD. I work with adults and adolescents, and I’m experienced in supporting individuals navigating different mental health conditions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Lexington
Finding ADHD therapists in Lexington starts with deciding what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, or support with school, work, and relationships. Medication management is a separate type of care, usually provided by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for ADHD psychiatry, and some use both. If you’re searching for adult ADHD support, pediatric ADHD care, ADHD counseling, or a psychologist for ADHD, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and bio match your needs.
Lexington is a smaller market, so local in-person ADHD therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Boston-area communities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. ADHD often overlaps with concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties, so it helps to look for someone with experience across those areas. As you compare therapists, review availability, scheduling flexibility, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach in their profile.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway makes it easier to find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, see whether they take your insurance, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
