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
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 Therapy
Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

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.

Daniell Cohen Bertagnolli
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ATR, RYT
Whether you have a clear vision of what you hope to gain from therapy or still figuring this out, together, we will build insight through a safe and judgement-free therapeutic environment. As a licensed mental health counselor, I work with couples and individual clients who are navigating daily stressors, life transitions, grief, infertility, perinatal mental health, as well as relational and parenting challenges. My hope is to support you towards an understanding of your patterns, develop and achieve attainable goals, and strengthen your connections with yourself and others.
In sessions, I utilize psychodynamic and person-centered frameworks, as well as, draw from my extensive training in CBT, DBT, Art Therapy and Mindfulness.
I strive to establish trust and meaning in therapeutic relationships. My goal is to help clients more clearly understand and align with their values, develop and achieve attainable goals, and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
