Psychodynamic
Laurel Shortell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with a diverse range of individual adults throughout Massachusetts, including those in relationships of all configurations, college students, those grieving pet loss, and technical professionals, drawing on my own background as a software engineer. I also maintain a focus on clients who are on the autism spectrum, including neurodivergent adults and relationships where one or more partners identify as being on the spectrum.

Psychodynamic
Dr. Kirsten Christensen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I'm a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.
Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why I take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of my work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. I take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. I also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. My goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy.
I also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, I take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
I specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.

Psychodynamic
Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.

Psychodynamic
Pinar Kaiser
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy is most effective when it’s grounded in trust, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic relationship. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns at a pace that feels right. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration in the therapy process, and I work to meet clients where they are rather than where they feel they “should” be. While therapy is a space for support and understanding, I also believe in thoughtfully and gently challenging clients when helpful, encouraging reflection, growth, and new perspectives that can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Lucas Saiter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.A., LMHC
My approach combines psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to support insight and meaningful, lasting change. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate it into treatment when helpful. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and engaged. Together, we’ll explore patterns, clarify your goals, and build a stronger sense of authenticity, self-understanding, and agency.
