I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Boston Psychiatry Center. My mission is to provide thoughtful, high-quality, and accessible outpatient psychiatric care for patients and their families. I take time to get to know each patient as a person, not just a collection of symptoms. I believe that understanding someone’s story (how they think, feel, and navigate challenges) is essential to helping them improve. In addition to my work at Boston Psychiatry Center, I am on staff at McLean Hospital and MGH. These experiences let me stay at the forefront of psychiatric research and clinical care. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I prescribe medications, offer therapy, can provide a second opinion, and I can mix-and-match as needed to tailor care to your needs. I am comfortable with a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. Reach out if you want someone who is personable and compassionate, but also willing to challenge you to reach your goals. I am told that I am deeply attentive, mixing serious moments with much-needed fun and humor. I enjoy getting to know my patients, connecting with them, and watching them improve.

My name is Dr. William Butler, and I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist. I have advanced training from Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. I work with adult patients experiencing depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, personality patterns, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and skills-focused, intensive psychotherapy, tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I help students and young adults facing a broad range of concerns, including mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges who seek evidence-based treatment and a psychiatrist who thinks with them. I offer psychotherapy, medication management, and practical planning for work, school, and relationships. Starting treatment is a meaningful step, especially if previous approaches haven’t been helpful. My role is to offer clear, thoughtful care and working together to craft a treatment plan. I'd be happy to connect to answer any questions about my approach and to see if working together could be a good fit.

For nearly 15 years, I worked as a high school teacher, advisor, dean, and administrator. Working with adolescents was fun, rewarding, and dynamic. As a social worker, I have worked in college settings, residential substance use treatment, and a community mental health clinic. I have significant clinical experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, and specialize in working with adolescents, college students and emerging adults. I bring a particular appreciation for the stage of life between childhood and full adulthood, an understanding of the pressures of this age range, and a wealth of experience helping people navigate the challenges of growing up. I feel comfortable working with people of all identities and backgrounds. I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults, Jewish and other faith communities, and older adults. I strive to be culturally competent and curious as I learn about another person. I believe everyone needs to be heard and helped regardless of religion, creed, or political beliefs.

Hi there! The clients I work with are college students and young adults who often feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges and want practical support to feel more in control. You may find yourself overthinking, stuck in worry loops, or struggling with patterns like perfectionism or intrusive thoughts -- all very normal experiences. If you are looking for a space to better understand yourself or build healthier ways of coping, you're in the right spot! Maybe you are motivated for change or unsure where to start. I will bring a collaborative and supportive approach that balances insight with real-life tools you can use day-to-day.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, New York, and Florida specializing in working with individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related issues. I work with clients of all ages either in-person at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA)’s Cambridge and Melrose offices or via Zoom.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here! I work with college students and young adults who may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or OCD. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and motivated, yet internally they’re navigating constant “what if” thoughts, self-doubt, or a sense of pressure to get things just right. You might find yourself avoiding certain situations, procrastinating because things feel overwhelming, or getting caught in mental loops that are hard to step away from. Anxiety or OCD may be starting to impact your schoolwork, relationships, or your ability to enjoy everyday life. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can feel exhausting underneath. If you’re hoping to develop a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings (even if that feels a little uncomfortable at first) and are looking for meaningful, lasting change, we might be a good fit. In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building practical tools and gently working through the patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can feel more confident, flexible, and more like yourself.

I tend to work best with clients who are open to growth and willing to look a little deeper at how they’re living their lives. You might be asking yourself questions like: “Am I living the life I actually want?” or “Why do I feel so stuck, even when I know something needs to change?” Together, we explore the gap between how your life looks right now and how you want it to feel. We’ll look at the thoughts, emotions, or patterns that might be getting in the way -whether that’s anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling pulled in different directions. While many of my clients are teens and young adults who are starting to build insight into themselves, what matters most isn’t your age, it’s your willingness to be open, curious, and honest in the process. If you’re ready to show up authentically and work toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are, we’ll likely be a good fit.

School is supposed to be a chapter you're lucky to be in (the years people romanticize, the program you worked hard to get into, the path you chose for yourself), which can make it harder to say out loud when it doesn't feel that way. Whether it's anxiety that won't quit, a low-grade numbness you can't explain, pressure to perform that's become suffocating, or the unsettling sense that you're on a path someone else chose for you, these aren't things you should have to push through alone. They're worth understanding. I'm a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who does both medication management and in-depth psychotherapy. With me, you're not bouncing between a prescriber you see for fifteen minutes and a therapist who doesn't know what you're taking. I work with the whole picture. That means we talk. Really talk. About what's going on, what's underneath it, and what you actually want (not just what looks good on a transcript). Before medicine, I went to both law school and medical school (two of the longer and more punishing graduate trainings there are), so the strain of staying functional while something underneath isn't working is familiar to me from the inside, not from a textbook. My style is warm but direct. I'm not going to sit silently and wait for you to fill the space, and I'm not going to hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I pay attention to what you need: sometimes that's a push, sometimes it's room to breathe, sometimes it's someone who will tell you the thing no one else has said yet. I'm also an Asian American psychiatrist with a background in law. I founded The Jeong Center around a Korean concept (jeong (정)) the deep bond that forms when two people share real time and presence together. I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, panic, difficult relationship patterns, and unforgiving professional expectations. Offices in Brookline and Downtown Boston. Telehealth available. INSURANCE & FEES I'm an out-of-network physician, but most Boston-area student health insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits that can be used to cover some or even most of my fees. Reach out if you'd like help checking your benefits.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist who works with individuals of all ages and various presenting concerns, but I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-35) who are experiencing mental health, substance use, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). Drawing from various theories in understanding the roots of suffering and discontentment, I take a non-judgmental, curious, compassionate approach to guiding you to a place of healing and wellness. No matter what circumstances led us to where we are today, I believe that we all have the potential to be happy and content. It takes work to get there, but with a commitment to therapy, you’ll soon find yourself on the path to a better future. Choosing to begin therapy and addressing difficult emotions, behaviors, and thinking patterns head on is an act of courage and bravery. I consider it an honor for individuals, like yourself, to allow me to partner with you on this journey. I am happy to answer any questions you may have or to schedule an appointment with you.
