Therapists for college students near Harvard University

It's common to experience bouts of depression, and anxiety, withdrawal and feelings related to feeling other as you transition to college, or even if you've been there a while. People with ADHD and Autism really start to feel challenged during college. Everything from perfectionism to motivation issues can be triggered. And there is a strong undercurrent of social anxiety in our culture, which can also feel isolating. At Build The Self, we meet in person and online. We like to talk about how you're feeling and think with you about ways you can feel like more part of your community. We listen keenly to your concerns and help you understand them better through exploration, which often provides a decent amount of relief. Give us a call if you're having some trouble. We'd love to help.

I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Boston Psychiatry Center. My mission is to provide thoughtful, high-quality, and accessible outpatient psychiatric care for patients and their families. I take time to get to know each patient as a person, not just a collection of symptoms. I believe that understanding someone’s story (how they think, feel, and navigate challenges) is essential to helping them improve. In addition to my work at Boston Psychiatry Center, I am on staff at McLean Hospital and MGH. These experiences let me stay at the forefront of psychiatric research and clinical care. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I prescribe medications, offer therapy, can provide a second opinion, and I can mix-and-match as needed to tailor care to your needs. I am comfortable with a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. Reach out if you want someone who is personable and compassionate, but also willing to challenge you to reach your goals. I am told that I am deeply attentive, mixing serious moments with much-needed fun and humor. I enjoy getting to know my patients, connecting with them, and watching them improve.

My name is Dr. William Butler, and I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist. I have advanced training from Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. I work with adult patients experiencing depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, personality patterns, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and skills-focused, intensive psychotherapy, tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I help students and young adults facing a broad range of concerns, including mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges who seek evidence-based treatment and a psychiatrist who thinks with them. I offer psychotherapy, medication management, and practical planning for work, school, and relationships. Starting treatment is a meaningful step, especially if previous approaches haven’t been helpful. My role is to offer clear, thoughtful care and working together to craft a treatment plan. I'd be happy to connect to answer any questions about my approach and to see if working together could be a good fit.

With over two decades in healthcare, I’ve had the privilege of caring for others both directly and through innovative technology solutions. Along the way, I discovered that true well-being extends beyond physical health; it includes nurturing the mind and spirit. This realization led me to mindfulness, yoga, and meditation—practices that transformed my life and helped me feel more present, grounded, and compassionate. Inspired by this journey, I became a certified yoga instructor and completed counseling training, deepening my commitment to creating space for healing and growth. Today, I bring together years of experience and a passion for holistic wellness to support individuals through life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and guided by compassion, offering a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and empowered. I believe in the transformative power of presence and in honoring the natural connection between body, mind, and spirit. These values shape every interaction, allowing me to respect your unique story, identity, and lived experiences as we work together toward the life you envision. My goal is to walk alongside you not just as a counselor, but as a partner in your journey toward growth and well-being.

Hi there! The clients I work with are college students and young adults who often feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges and want practical support to feel more in control. You may find yourself overthinking, stuck in worry loops, or struggling with patterns like perfectionism or intrusive thoughts -- all very normal experiences. If you are looking for a space to better understand yourself or build healthier ways of coping, you're in the right spot! Maybe you are motivated for change or unsure where to start. I will bring a collaborative and supportive approach that balances insight with real-life tools you can use day-to-day.

Expert psychiatric care tailored to your unique needs. Double board-certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry and trained at Harvard Medical School, I offer specialized treatment for ADHD and ASD. I also provide expert care for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma-related symptoms. At Spectrum Bay Psychiatry, I combine clinical excellence with a compassionate touch, providing thorough evaluations and personalized medication management.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, New York, and Florida specializing in working with individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related issues. I work with clients of all ages either in-person at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA)’s Cambridge and Melrose offices or via Zoom. The services I offer include weekly outpatient therapy, as well as an intensive outpatient therapy option. I also offer diagnostic assessment services, including autism, intelligence, and achievement testing.

I work with teens and young adults who want to live a life less impacted by their anxiety, OCD, and other stressors. College can be full of unexpected peaks and valleys, and I help people navigate those ups and downs. Whether it’s stress related to academics, friendships, family, or something else, we can work through it together to help you build a more full and authentic life.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here! I work with college students and young adults who may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or OCD. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and motivated, yet internally they’re navigating constant “what if” thoughts, self-doubt, or a sense of pressure to get things just right. You might find yourself avoiding certain situations, procrastinating because things feel overwhelming, or getting caught in mental loops that are hard to step away from. Anxiety or OCD may be starting to impact your schoolwork, relationships, or your ability to enjoy everyday life. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can feel exhausting underneath. If you’re hoping to develop a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings (even if that feels a little uncomfortable at first) and are looking for meaningful, lasting change, we might be a good fit. In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building practical tools and gently working through the patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can feel more confident, flexible, and more like yourself.
