Therapists for college students near 02155
Aaron Frenz, M.D.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist who works with students using therapy, medication, or both, depending on what's helpful at the time. My goal is to support people in feeling more like themselves and moving toward the life they want. I strive to create a space where students feel heard, validated and able to grow. Sometimes that means using medication to ease depression, anxiety, or ADHD. Other times, it means listening closely during a hard moment, creating space to mourn what could have been or looking more deeply at patterns that make life more difficult and finding ways to change them. My psychiatric training took place at Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean hospital, both affiliated with Harvard Medical School. I then went on to teach residents and work at McLean for many years. I've trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy (understanding how early events shape us), DBT (building skills to manage intense emotions and reduce self-harm), and relational theory (exploring how healing happens through connection). I draw on these approaches together to find what best fits each person I work with. I am only in network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Boston College's student insurance and the MGB Employees insurance. You can learn more about me at aaronfrenzmd.com
Valerie Fisher
As a counselor, Val is passionate about creating a safe environment which fosters healthy vulnerability and honesty, so that clients can feel empowered to take ownership of their individual life goals and journeys. Val works primarily from a person-centered, systemic, and existential approach. She considers clients as a part of the broader life systems, and hopes to help clients gain and exercise self-advocacy tools to use throughout their daily lives. Val uses non-judgemental listening skills, humor, candor, and empathy to drive meaningful change within her clients throughout their time in therapy.
Emily Goodwin
Emily earned her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Roger Williams University and her Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Connecticut (UCONN). She has experience working with children and families in Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, and school settings. While working with clients, Emily utilizes various modalities, including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Therapy is a very personal journey for children and their families and she takes a non-judgmental, empowering, and culturally and LGBTQ competent approach to provide a safe space for this incredibly important and life-changing work.
Build The Self Psychotherapy
It's common to experience bouts of depression, and anxiety, withdrawal and feelings related to feeling other as you transition to college, or even if you've been there a while. People with ADHD and Autism really start to feel challenged during college. Everything from perfectionism to motivation issues can be triggered. And there is a strong undercurrent of social anxiety in our culture, which can also feel isolating. At Build The Self, we meet in person and online. We like to talk about how you're feeling and think with you about ways you can feel like more part of your community. We listen keenly to your concerns and help you understand them better through exploration, which often provides a decent amount of relief. Give us a call if you're having some trouble. We'd love to help.

Dr. Bilal Bari
I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Boston Psychiatry Center. My mission is to provide thoughtful, high-quality, and accessible outpatient psychiatric care for patients and their families. I take time to get to know each patient as a person, not just a collection of symptoms. I believe that understanding someone’s story (how they think, feel, and navigate challenges) is essential to helping them improve. In addition to my work at Boston Psychiatry Center, I am on staff at McLean Hospital and MGH. These experiences let me stay at the forefront of psychiatric research and clinical care. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I prescribe medications, offer therapy, can provide a second opinion, and I can mix-and-match as needed to tailor care to your needs. I am comfortable with a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. Reach out if you want someone who is personable and compassionate, but also willing to challenge you to reach your goals. I am told that I am deeply attentive, mixing serious moments with much-needed fun and humor. I enjoy getting to know my patients, connecting with them, and watching them improve.
Dr. William Butler
My name is Dr. William Butler, and I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist. I have advanced training from Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. I work with adult patients experiencing depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, personality patterns, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and skills-focused, intensive psychotherapy, tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I help students and young adults facing a broad range of concerns, including mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges who seek evidence-based treatment and a psychiatrist who thinks with them. I offer psychotherapy, medication management, and practical planning for work, school, and relationships. Starting treatment is a meaningful step, especially if previous approaches haven’t been helpful. My role is to offer clear, thoughtful care and working together to craft a treatment plan. I'd be happy to connect to answer any questions about my approach and to see if working together could be a good fit.
Jacqueline Senn
M y name is Jacqui Senn and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor whose client base is made up of people who are struggling with transitions/ changes in their lives they cannot manage on their own. Some are facing an increase in their anxiety due to the amount of things they want to accomplish, while others feel as though they are not where they are supposed to be. And others are trying to navigate both of those things while managing relationships.
Matt Conti
For nearly 15 years, I worked as a high school teacher, advisor, dean, and administrator. Working with adolescents was fun, rewarding, and dynamic. As a social worker, I have worked in college settings, residential substance use treatment, and a community mental health clinic. I have significant clinical experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, and specialize in working with adolescents, college students and emerging adults. I bring a particular appreciation for the stage of life between childhood and full adulthood, an understanding of the pressures of this age range, and a wealth of experience helping people navigate the challenges of growing up. I feel comfortable working with people of all identities and backgrounds. I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults, Jewish and other faith communities, and older adults. I strive to be culturally competent and curious as I learn about another person. I believe everyone needs to be heard and helped regardless of religion, creed, or political beliefs.

The Jeong Center
School is supposed to be a chapter you're lucky to be in (the years people romanticize, the program you worked hard to get into, the path you chose for yourself), which can make it harder to say out loud when it doesn't feel that way. Whether it's anxiety that won't quit, a low-grade numbness you can't explain, pressure to perform that's become suffocating, or the unsettling sense that you're on a path someone else chose for you, these aren't things you should have to push through alone. They're worth understanding. I'm a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who does both medication management and in-depth psychotherapy. With me, you're not bouncing between a prescriber you see for fifteen minutes and a therapist who doesn't know what you're taking. I work with the whole picture. That means we talk. Really talk. About what's going on, what's underneath it, and what you actually want (not just what looks good on a transcript). Before medicine, I went to both law school and medical school (two of the longer and more punishing graduate trainings there are), so the strain of staying functional while something underneath isn't working is familiar to me from the inside, not from a textbook. My style is warm but direct. I'm not going to sit silently and wait for you to fill the space, and I'm not going to hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I pay attention to what you need: sometimes that's a push, sometimes it's room to breathe, sometimes it's someone who will tell you the thing no one else has said yet. I'm also an Asian American psychiatrist with a background in law. I founded The Jeong Center around a Korean concept (jeong (ì •)) the deep bond that forms when two people share real time and presence together. I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, panic, difficult relationship patterns, and unforgiving professional expectations. Offices in Brookline and Downtown Boston. Telehealth available. INSURANCE & FEES I'm an out-of-network physician, but most Boston-area student health insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits that can be used to cover some or even most of my fees. Reach out if you'd like help checking your benefits.
SRG Therapy Group PLLC
I started SRG Therapy Group because I believe everyone deserves access to a therapist who truly gets them — not just whoever happens to have an opening. Our intake process is personal. We take the time to understand what you're going through before we make a match. Every clinician in our network is vetted, licensed in Massachusetts, and committed to showing up for you with warmth and expertise. We accept insurance, we move quickly, and we genuinely care about your outcome. Starting therapy takes courage, and my goal is to make that step feel safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I work with older teens, adults, couples, and families who want to feel less overwhelmed and more confident in themselves and their relationships. I believe everyone has the ability to improve self-esteem, manage emotions more effectively, and develop stronger coping skills. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I combine insight with practical, evidence-based tools to help you move forward. I also hold a degree in Accounting and bring that background to support individuals and couples around financial wellness, budgeting, and life planning.

Toshie Suzuki-Diaz
My therapeutic approaches are insight-oriented and supportive psychotherapy as well as using solution-focused and problem-solving models. As a therapist trained in Internal Family Systems, I incorporate mind-body-spirit techniques to help you better understand your challenges and to shift perspectives. I have experience working in MA, IL, and WA in community mental health clinics, hospitals, and on a college campus. For the past 15+ years, I’ve seen students and working professionals at my private practice in Boston area. I enjoy supporting clients from a variety of backgrounds including cultural, linguistic, sexual orientation, education, disability, and socioeconomic status. Please inquire about current availability and set up a free 15-20 min. phone consultation; I look forward to hearing from you and potentially having the opportunity to work together. Please note: all my sessions are conducted via telehealth and I’m able to meet with clients who are physically located in MA.
Mage Therapy & Coaching
Our life experiences are unique, yet we share similar traits that enable us to relate to each other at the deepest level. In that space, change can be nurtured in a warm yet challenging enough manner, to give you the tools that you need to show up in your community, family, school and work with joy and confidence. Whether you are struggling with cultural issues, body image and identity questions, or adjustment to the specific challenges of a learning environment, I invite you to reach out. You are not alone.
William Davidson
My therapeutic approach is evidence-based, client centered, treatments delivered with compassion, humor and intelligence. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and include elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Art Therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychosocial intervention that is the most widely used evidence-based practice for improving mental health. Guided by empirical research, CBT focuses on the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems and changing unhelpful patterns in cognitions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes), behaviors, and emotional regulation.
