Therapists for college students near Harvard University
Dr. Gary Huang
I work as a psychologist at CampusCare Counseling, offering quality mental health services to young adults. Foremost, I am trauma-informed in my approach. This means I work with clients to build trust, taking into consideration personal and socio-cultural factors, with the goal of forming a therapeutic relationship that empowers clients and allows their authentic selves to be in the therapy space. I believe growth, as defined by the client, happens from there. When clinically indicated, I pull from my experience and training with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR. Additionally, I use psychodynamic, existential, and feminist perspectives to inform my work.
Dr. Claudia Stuber
I work at CampusCare Counseling, offering quality mental health services to young adults. My therapeutic work takes a largely integrative approach including, but not limited to, the use of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, exposure and response prevention, and acceptance and commitment therapeutic interventions. I work through a humanistic and client-centered lens, drawing from many concepts of internal family systems therapy. I believe that at our core, we are all inherently “good,” but our unique life experiences can lead us to adopt beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies that may be healthy at times, or harmful at others. For this reason, I believe it is essential to explore the relationships and events that shaped distressing thoughts or unwanted behaviors to facilitate meaningful change. I hold unconditional positive regard for my clients, utilizing a trauma-informed approach to help college students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and a genuine appreciation for all the parts that make them who they are. It is my belief that with self-insight and self-love present, transformation, healing, and relief are always within reach.

As a therapist, I am committed to helping clients feel empowered to grow and make meaningful and value-based changes in their lives by providing a collaborative and therapeutic space. I value cultivating an authentic connection with my clients that emphasizes compassion and empathy. I strive to create a safe space for vulnerability, curiosity, and self-exploration while also incorporating skill-based work informed by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT).
Dr. Sam Nardi
I work as a psychologist at CampusCare Counseling, providing quality mental health services to young adults. I work from a relational, psychodynamic perspective prioritizing the therapeutic relationship as a mechanism of change. I integrate techniques from mindfulness, ACT, DBT, IFS, and Gestalt modalities to support healthy coping, self-compassion, and development of insight. I believe it is critical to understand the individual within the context of the systems around them, including oppressive, societal forces that impact psychological wellness.

Paul Sawyer
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist who works with individuals of all ages and various presenting concerns, but I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-35) who are experiencing mental health, substance use, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). Drawing from various theories in understanding the roots of suffering and discontentment, I take a non-judgmental, curious, compassionate approach to guiding you to a place of healing and wellness. No matter what circumstances led us to where we are today, I believe that we all have the potential to be happy and content. It takes work to get there, but with a commitment to therapy, you’ll soon find yourself on the path to a better future.

Rachel Adler, LICSW, PLLC
You are told that college will be the best four years of your life. However, the reality is not living up to the expectation. For many, college is not the best four years of their life. What it is, however, is a period of tremendous self discovery and growth, often propelled by social and academic challenges. I am here to walk with you, side by side, through this journey. Graduate school presents another set of challenges as the pressure and intensity of both the workload and future career decisions come into play. Therapy is a dynamic conversation geared towards your needs-to be challenged, validated, empowered, or understood; every session is designed to meet you where you are both that day and in their overall therapeutic journey. I value the use of humor and authentic connection. I primarily utilize psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and attachment theory, all within a trauma informed lens. Current and past clients have highlighted that they valued my authenticity as a person and provider, that I created a non-judgmental, accepting, and empathetic space where they felt truly seen and cared for, and that our work together has been valuable and healing. Please reach out via email for an initial consultation.
Jonny Ausubel, LICSW
People often seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed by problems and disconnected from the values, relationships, and experiences that give meaning to their lives. I am excited about working together to help you claim agency in the face of life's problems so that you can become the primary author of your life's story. My background and training have focused on Narrative Therapy, which helps people stand up to problems and align themselves more closely with their values and beliefs. This approach also prioritizes separating personal identities from the problems that, for many people, have come to define their sense of self. I enjoy the process of supporting college students through the unique challenges and transitions that characterize this phase of life. My practice also welcomes people who identify as neurodivergent and/or belong to the LGBTQ+ community. If the challenges you're up against (such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and interpersonal/family conflict) are exerting too much control over you and your life, I invite you to contact me to schedule a free phone consultation.

Whether you're juggling life’s day-to-day stressors or facing a major life transition, life can feel complicated and overwhelming. Maybe you feel stuck in unproductive patterns of behavior or want to create meaningful, healthy relationships. Many of the women I work with are navigating pregnancy or fertility journeys, transitioning into motherhood, or are motivated to shift patterns within their family or close relationships.
