Professional statement

Dr. Nathan’s primary areas of interest include: life transitions, men’s issues, trauma depression, anxiety, and academic issues. Dr. Nathan uses an integrative approach, harnessing elements of Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT to best meet the individual needs of the client.

Dr. Nathan graduated from Franklin and Marshall college and received his doctorate from Antioch University New England. He completed his APA internship at Community Services Institute, Inc. in West Roxbury, MA, and his postdoctoral fellowship was at Purdue University Northwest in Hammond, IN. He has previously worked in college counseling, and remains committed to helping students navigate the complex interplay of life and learning.

Outside his therapy office, Dr. Nathan likes being outdoors, playing soccer, and hiking and camping in the summer, and snowboarding or learning to cross-country ski in the winter. While working from home many clients have heard his dogs, Biggie and Juju, in the background.

Message to clients

“Whether it is a new obstacle that has cropped up or tackling a longer-term concern, I work collaboratively with people to find the moment where things shift, open up, and life feels back in their control. Warmth, empathy, and authenticity are the cornerstones of the relationship I build to facilitate this transformation.”
