Benjamin Lee

I am a clinical psychologist (Massachusetts License #10809) with a specialty in helping people reduce their anxiety. My areas of expertise include generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, stress, adjustment, and depression. I also have expertise in health psychology, such as managing psychological aspects of multiple sclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic health conditions. My therapeutic style is client-centered, supportive, and solution-focused. I usually start out treatment with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and transition into insight-oriented therapy. I also use Exposure and Response Prevention and Acceptance Commitment Therapy approaches. I work with children and adults. I'm an ally to people with marginalized identities, such as the LGBTQIQ community, and an advocate for racial justice. Education: I earned my doctorate (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. My doctoral internship was at a county hospital at the Integrated Health Psychology Training Program, in San Pablo, California, where I provided individual and group therapy, as well as psychological assessment. I treated a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and the psychological effects of chronic health problems (e.g., insomnia, cancer, and diabetes). I then moved to the Boston area and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the Developmental Medicine Center at Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) focusing primarily on pediatric assessment and treatment of developmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disorders, and emotionally-based disorders, including anxiety and depression. INSURANCE UPDATE: I am in the process of discontinuing in-network status with Medicare plans by end of 2023.
