Toby Lynch, PhD

Good therapy helps you connect more deeply with what matters to you in your life. Feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed can signal a need for change. My role is to help you decode these signals by creating a safe, collaborative space where we can step back from everyday life, make sense of what you are experiencing without judgment, and help you find greater freedom in however you choose to move forward.

 

In addition to my private practice, I am Assistant Director for Psychotherapy Innovation at Mass General’s outpatient substance use treatment program and hold a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.

​

I have extensive clinical training and experience working with a wide range of concerns, with particular expertise in substance use disorders, trauma/PTSD, and career development. 

​

My approach is person-centered, and I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches based on your unique needs, goals, and preferences. The approaches I most often draw from include:

 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Integrative Harm-Reduction Psychotherapy

Life Design Counseling

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Narrative Approaches

Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy

Twelve-Step Facilitation
