Nicholas Canby(He/Him/His)

Dr. Nicholas Canby is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults and couples navigating life’s challenges — whether that means healing from trauma, working through relationship struggles, exploring questions of meaning or identity, or integrating experiences with psychedelics or meditation. His style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, creating a space where clients feel supported and understood.

Dr. Canby’s approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies while always being tailored to the unique needs and goals of each person. He draws from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused approaches, and integrative behavioral couple therapy (IBCT), a method that helps partners build empathy, connection, and deeper understanding. His work is rooted in the belief that therapy isn’t just about addressing pain — it’s also about fostering growth, clarity, and a more fulfilling life.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Canby is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Brown University, where he teaches and researches topics related to mindfulness, senses of self, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. He offers online therapy for individuals and couples across Rhode Island and other PsyPACT participating states, providing flexible care in a secure virtual setting.
