Therapy for Attorneys, Physicians & Professionals in Boston

You are very good at your job. That does not make the rest of life easy.

High-achieving professionals — attorneys, physicians, executives, and managers — face pressures most therapists have never encountered from the inside: billable hours, partnership track, on-call schedules, and careers that follow you home. When stress or relationship strain reaches a breaking point, most professionals do not want to explain their world to someone who has never been in it.

Adam Goodman holds both a law degree (JD) and a therapy license (LMFT). He practices what most therapists cannot: therapy grounded in a real understanding of the professional world his clients inhabit.

Who This Practice Serves

Attorneys and Lawyers in Boston

The legal profession has among the highest rates of burnout, anxiety, and depression of any field. Billable-hour culture, high-stakes pressure, and adversarial environments take a toll — on individuals and on relationships. Adam has a law degree and understands the culture of law from the inside. Many attorneys find it easier to work with a therapist who does not need an orientation to what their world looks like.

Professional Couples

When two demanding careers share a household, the relationship often absorbs the strain. Scheduling collapses, emotional energy runs out before anyone gets home, and the partnership starts to feel like a business arrangement. Couples therapy with Adam focuses on the specific dynamics of professional couples under career pressure.

Executives and Managers

Leadership is isolating. The further you move up, the fewer people around you who understand the weight of the decisions you make. Individual therapy provides a confidential space to process that without judgment or organizational politics.

What to Expect

Sessions are structured and practical. Adam uses evidence-based approaches — Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, and the Gottman Method for couples — adapted to the way high-functioning professionals think and operate. All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth, available throughout Massachusetts, with weekday scheduling from 10am-4pm.

Confidentiality and Fees

Sessions are $250. Couples therapy is cash-pay only — no insurance claims, no third-party records. For individual therapy, a monthly superbill is available for clients with PPO plans, many of whom recover 40-70% through out-of-network benefits. HSA and FSA accepted. Free 15-minute phone consultation available.
