It is not unusual to hear during a consultation that I am the first clinician a person found with an office in Somerville after much searching. I expected to hear that during the height of the pandemic. That I hear it more often now is a surprise. Surely this is a problem I can do something about.
I got on Psychology Today and Therapy Den and searched for providers offering in-person therapy in the 02144 area code. After filtering out obviously non-local providers, I sent email queries to everyone left.
The list assembled below comprise real-live clinicians offering real-live in-person psychotherapy in Somerville, MA, as of August 2024. This list only includes clinicians or groups that responded or whom I know as colleagues. A handful of clinicians responded but asked to be left off the list, as they are in the process of retiring from clinical work.
Perhaps there might be future clinicians who will come to Somerville to offer in-person work. If that describes you, dear reader, please send me a note. I would love to see this list have more than 8 providers and groups for a city of over 80,000.
