Welcome to My Practice

I offer personalized psychotherapy, consultation, and coaching services in Lexington, MA. My extensive training at McLean Hospital and Harvard has shaped my approach, adding authenticity, depth, and a deep commitment to each of my clients’ journeys. My approach combines years of experience with genuine empathy and a passion for helping people grow. I believe in tailoring my care to meet your unique needs, providing a flexible, understanding, and compassionate environment where you feel truly supported every step of the way. I aim to make therapy not only accessible but also a deeply meaningful and transformative part of your ongoing personal growth.

Compassionate, Individualized Psychotherapy

Therapy is a partnership built on trust and active participation. I guide clients through self-exploration, helping them overcome past negative experiences, improving coping skills and building stronger relationships. I believe in empowering clients to create fulfilling, meaningful lives. I specialize in eating disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as adjustment issues such as grief, loss and life transitions.

Therapy in a Comfortable, Convenient Setting

My office, conveniently located at 57 Bedford Street in Lexington Center, provides a serene, safe space in which to begin your therapy journey. Located near I-95, with wheelchair access and free parking, this is a place where you can truly slow down, relax and take a deep breath. If preferred, I also offer virtual therapy sessions through a secure and user-friendly platform.

Coaching & Professional Supervision Services

For 26 years, I’ve been dedicated to growing both professionally and personally—from my training at McLean Hospital to establishing my private practice, expanding my expertise through consulting roles and developing treatment apps. To share this expertise, I have built a strong coaching program, aimed at providing clinical supervision and professional mentorship to therapists interested in building a private psychotherapy practice.

Her input and guidance regarding all aspects including marketing, maintaining professional relationships, and getting appropriate referrals was invaluable in establishing my "up and running" practice.

Dr. Crowley helped me make improvements in a number of areas including my depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships and career. As a male, I was not sure I would feel comfortable talking openly in therapy about difficult subject matters. Dr. Crowley put me at ease with her compassionate and accepting nature along with her collaborative style of treatment. Dr. Crowley is a true find. I highly recommend her to any person needing help.
