Exceptional Therapy



Our Approach

​PVD Psychological Associates offers therapy across the lifespan for a range of issues. We have specific specializations in college mental health, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship difficulties and we also see clients for a range of other issues.

We believe the most important aspect of a positive and effective therapy experience is finding the right fit.

Depending on your personal preference, therapy history, and what brings you to treatment now, dynamic, behavioral, or another type of therapy may be most appropriate for you. We will work with you to understand why you are seeking therapy, and collaboratively construct a treatment plan. This treatment plan will integrate the most appropriate, research-supported interventions for you. Our therapists utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, exposure therapy, habit reversal training, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

The other critical factor we take into consideration is style. All of the therapists on our treatment team are selected not only for their excellent training and experience but also for their unique personalities and approaches so we have a diverse team. Instead of having an intake coordinator schedule your intake, one of our therapists will call you before you schedule a session to ask specific questions about your previous experiences in therapy, your goals, your personality, and the types of people you typically “click” with to make a recommendation.


Mission & Values

Everything we do is designed to give you the best therapy experience. Our mission is to provide exceptional therapy that is personalized and results driven. We offer cutting edge, evidence-based treatment by a team of highly trained therapists to address anxiety, eating disorders, college and graduate student mental health, trauma, relationship difficulties, and many other concerns

PVD Psych is a LGBTQIA Affirming practice, and is one of few Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island LGBTQ Safe Zone certified providers. We offer LGBTQIA Affirming therapy and Gender Affirming Therapy. We strongly believe that everyone has the right to safe, respectful, and affirming, high quality care.“

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person’s present behavior. The goals of  psychodynamic therapy  are a client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. ​Whether it be a long term problem or temporary life circumstance prompting someone to seek therapy, we understand that every individual client, session, and situation is unique. Our therapists have expertise in specific modalities of therapy and utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). We often integrate a variety or techniques which lend themselves to both time-limited and long-term therapy. We believe it is best to not only address symptoms in the here and now and creat...
