IN PERSON & TELEHEALTH THERAPY
GREATER BOSTON, MA
You’re not supposed to have it all figured out yet.
College and graduate school are supposed to be exciting, but they can also be overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.
We offer therapy that actually meets you where you are.
Gen Z is carrying something genuinely new.
We didn't stumble into working with Gen Z — we chose this generation intentionally. Because Gen Z deserves clinicians who genuinely understand what it means to grow up right now.
-
Social media promised connection but delivered comparison. Many lost critical social development years to COVID and are still figuring out how to build real belonging.
-
The pressure is ambient — it doesn't clock out. It lives in your phone, your inbox, your GPA portal. For high-achieving students, worth and output can feel inseparable.
-
Questions about creativity, purpose, and what it means to add value in an AI-saturated world are real. We help you develop resilience and clarity of purpose.
We built this place for you.
The Center for Thriving Young Adults was created with one goal: to make high-quality mental health care accessible and genuinely useful for young adults navigating the unique pressures of college and graduate life.
We know you're dealing with things that don't fit neatly into a 50-minute session — academic stress, identity questions, relationship challenges, the pressure to perform, and the quiet loneliness that can come even in a city full of people.
Therapy that's real. Care that fits your life.
Two Ways To Work With Us
-
Dedicated space to go deeper. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship patterns, or navigating a major life transition — individual therapy gives you a clinician who specializes in young adult mental health.
-
There's something powerful about being in a room with people who get it. Our therapy groups are clinician-led, evidence-based, and designed specifically for college and graduate students. Small, confidential, and often more affordable.

As a former psychologist at Harvard University as an academic dean at Brown University, I have worked with thousands of college and young adults.
Yet, with each young adult I meet, I feel honored to support your individual path of growth and learning. I am dedicated to young adults because you inspire me. With courage, you forge your own path, even when experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, ADHD, academic adjustment, and difficulties in college or personal situations.
At Center of Thriving Young Adults, we appreciate that many young adults experience opportunities as well as challenges. There are considerable stressors and demands. And we believe, with the right support, you can flourish. We are dedicated to helping you to gain skills as well as self knowledge and confidence to reach your own goals and aspirations.
We are rooting for you and look forward to partnering with you on your journey.
