Katharine Thomson

In addition to my faculty and hospital-based roles, in my private practice I see children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, and British Columbia. Harvard Medical School trained, I deliver evidence-based approaches and treat a range of psychiatric diagnoses using a bio-psycho-social model. I welcome all backgrounds and strive for culturally responsive and attuned care. I work with many queer and trans youth and families. My interventions also include mindfulness and focus on reducing distress and improving relationships, all delivered with warmth, humor, and science. I use CBT/DBT/ACT approaches for individuals (thoughts, emotions, behaviors, skills, acceptance, mindfulness); a Development Model for couples therapy (connections, healthy differentiation); SPACE for parents with children/teens with anxiety/OCD (reducing accommodations), and FBT for parents with teens with eating disorders (family-based therapy). My goal is to offer a safe space where you feel understood and respected. Together, we will create a treatment plan to help you develop coping skills, build insight, and reach your personal goals.
