Belinda Kussman, LICSW

I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Newton, Massachusetts with expertise in adult and couples psychotherapy. My clinical practice is informed by my belief that the client-therapist relationship is intrinsic to the psychotherapeutic process. I seek to create a safe and respectful exploratory space within which my clients can get to know themselves on a deeper level and experience positive growth and change. I feel privileged to be one of the few people in my clients' lives to get to know and understand them so profoundly.

Practice

My approach to therapy is interactive, collaborative, and empowering. I embark on a journey with each of my clients, listening to learn how best to respond to their needs and help them gain mastery over their problems. I have experience working with heterosexual, gay and lesbian individuals, and couples presenting with a range of issues including:


  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Panic
  • Stress
  • Schizophrenia
  • Grief, loss, and bereavement
  • Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Eating Disorders
  • Self-esteem
  • Academic and career problems
  • Life transitions
  • Parenting
  • Marriage and relationship issues
  • Communication problems
  • Divorce and separation
