Patricia Challan

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist with 20+ years of experience who works with children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan. I have a specialty in college mental health and was on staff at Emerson College for many years.

People describe me as deeply empathic, authentic, and down to earth. I strive to accompany each client on their personal journey, providing support along with gentle challenging in order to help you strengthen coping skills, address acute and chronic symptoms, and empower you to live your best life in the present moment.

I believe that effective therapy starts with a trusting relationship that involves collaboration, warmth, and humor. I integrate a relational-cultural perspective with psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral theories to provide evidence-based treatment for clients.

I work particularly well with students who are struggling with anxiety, identity concerns, and relationships. Contact me for a brief phone call to see if we might be a good fit to work together.

Of note, my practice is a hybrid of telehealth and in-person at this time.
