Psychodynamic Therapy
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 Therapy
Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, or simply feeling lost. Many of us feel pressured to constantly strive for happiness, yet still end up feeling overwhelmed and not enough. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your true self and your own needs, free from external expectations. My approach is warm, holistic, and collaborative. We'll work together to understand your concerns, build self-awareness, break old patterns, and heal from the past. Drawing on an understanding of cultural and life experiences, I help clients regain control, confidence, and hope for the future.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Psychodynamic Therapy
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.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
I specialize in working with high-achieving adults (18+) who are outwardly thriving, but carry the invisible wounds of narcisstic abuse, complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s loving, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing.
You are not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.
