About
Village Psychology is a private therapy practice devoted to creating positive changes in the lives of college students and young adults through highly specialized, evidence-based group therapy and mental health treatment programs.
Our offices are in Coolidge Corner in Brookline, MA and we provide telehealth services to those in greater Boston and all of Massachusetts. We are experienced therapists who love working with young adults.
Why Groups?
Young adults join our groups to participate in skills-based treatments with people their own age who are experiencing similar problems. Our group members often want more support than individual therapy alone can provide and find that groups offer a chance to connect and learn from one another guided by an experienced therapist. We are proud to provide evidence-based, short-term therapy groups which are focused on treating anxiety, depression, rapidly changing emotions and impulsivity, overly-controlled emotions and perfectionism, and trauma/PTSD.
Problems our groups may help:
Rapid mood changes
Feeling numb or empty
Impulsive/risky behaviors
Depression
Relationship problems
Anxiety and panic attacks
Perfectionism
Trauma/PTSD symptoms
Village Psychology Values
Science-based
We think that patients should have access to the best treatments available. Our therapists are trained to provide evidence-based therapy, meaning there is scientific research showing the therapy to be effective. We maintain our high standard of care through ongoing professional development and training.
Relationship-focused
We believe that the quality of people’s relationships is the biggest factor influencing one’s happiness (this assertion is supported by the Harvard Study of Adult Development). We therefore focus on helping people improve their relationships inside and outside of therapy.
Compassion-centered
We keep compassion for our patients at the heart of our work and we strive to help our patients increase compassion for themselves as well. We believe in the importance of creating an inclusive practice where people of all identities and backgrounds are respected and welcome.
