Professional statement

Dr. Pace is a dedicated clinical psychologist with a focus on helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. With experience working at McLean Hospital and a small private practice, she specializes in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and supporting individuals through difficult transitions.

Driven by a deep sense of compassion, Dr. Pace believes in a collaborative approach to therapy, where both patient and therapist actively engage in the healing process. She draws on a variety of evidence-based therapies—such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)—tailoring each treatment plan to fit the unique needs of the individual.

Dr. Pace understands that therapy is most effective when both the therapist and patient are aligned in their goals and approach. That’s why she places strong emphasis on open communication and collaboration, ensuring that every step of the treatment plan is designed to support the patient's personal growth and well-being.

For those looking to begin therapy, Dr. Pace offers initial sessions to explore whether her approach feels like the right fit. Her office is located in Watertown, MA, where she is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for each person she works with.
