Accepting new clients in-person and through telehealth!
If OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or substance use are stopping you from achieving your full potential, I’d like to help. I guide ambitious professionals and students in finding harmony between their goals, personal joy, and emotional well being. In treatment, we will focus on what actually works: no fluff, no formulas - just research-backed, effective strategies that work for you. If you’re struggling in relationships, I can help you articulate your concerns and express relevant feelings, needs, and limits to your loved ones.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also value thoughtful conversations about past experiences and the relationships that led you to the current moment. I am affirming of people of all backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations.
Therapy here is genuinely collaborative. I don’t sit back and nod - I’m here to challenge you, ask meaningful questions, and help you move forward with clarity and purpose. Together, we’ll figure out what’s working, what’s not, and what to do about it. We’ll build a plan that makes sense for your life. Your goals matter; let’s figure out the next step.
Samuel Skeen, Psy.D.
I completed my undergraduate degree at Goucher College, with a major in Psychology, and my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at the William James College (formerly MSPP). After graduating, I had two years of post-doctoral training at Atrius Health (formerly Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates). I subsequently worked as a staff psychologist at Atrius for several years, developing specialties in treating anxiety, OCD, and substance abuse.
I originally grew up near Philadelphia, but moved to the Boston area for graduate school; I have lived and worked here since. In my free time I enjoy cooking, physical activities, and making electronic dance music.
