Cambridge Collaborative Counselling

Information may not be reliable

We are licensed therapists, husband and wife, working together in a private practice of psychotherapy. We offer privacy and confidentiality, as well as availability and continuity that you will not find within managed health care systems.
We provide individual and couples therapy for adults of all ages and lifestyles. We offer short term consultations or ongoing therapy, whatever your preference. We are skilled (willing to) help you evaluate your need and goals to determine the pace and duration of counselling that will serve your needs best.
We offer a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. Always keeping in mind the goals you set, we work and talk deterministically to help you understand the personalities and circumstances of your life which have shaped your attitudes, feelings and behaviors. This understanding is essential in order for change to take place because while positive life circumstances have shaped your strengths, repeatedly hurtful life experiences can interfere with you feeling or functioning the way you would like to in your day to day life. Understanding how these effect your conscious and unconscious motivations, attitudes and feelings allows for a more compassionate look at why you are experiencing the personal or interpersonal challenges that you face. With a more compassionate mindset towards yourself, you will be able to feel better, be differently (more) thoughtful in your decisions, and to experiment more freely with alternative approaches to lifes challenges.
In couples therapy we focus on helping individuals understand themselves, each other and the process between them. From a more full and compassionate understanding of yourselves, more open discussion and collaborative problem solving can take place, avoiding the silence, the power struggles, misunderstandings, hurt and angry feelings that many couples experience when they try to discuss challenging issues. We work both with couples who want to build a solid foundation of communication for a new relationship as well as couples who are experiencing more active conflict or difficulties.
We offer an initial interview at no charge as an opportunity for you to meet us, ask us any questions you may have about us as human beings, as professionals, our ideas and our approach to our work. We are also happy to discuss the specific issues that concern you and how we would work with you to achieve your goals.
Our offices are located between Newton Corner and Newton Centre, mile off exit 17 of the Mass Pike (Rt. 90), and within a short walk to the 57 or 301 bus. We have worked in the same welcoming location for 23 years. Parking is offstreet and free. We have day, evening and Saturday appointments available.
We welcome your call.
