Psychodynamic Therapists in Massachusetts

I am Dr. Jon-Michael A. Saenz, a committed psychiatrist with extensive training and experience in managing severe mental illnesses and mood disorders. I obtained my medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed my psychiatry residency at Tufts Medical Center. Following this, I pursued a fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry, where I specialized in treating substance use disorders, personality disorders, as well as severe mania and psychosis. A major part of this training is the ability to clearly communicate complex issues to both patients and others outside the mental health field. My professional experience includes working at Bridgewater State Hospital, Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital, and the Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, where I refined my skills in addressing a diverse array of mental health conditions. My practice is grounded in a patient-centered approach, always striving to provide individualized and compassionate care. I hold medical licenses in both North Carolina and Massachusetts and possess certifications that enable me to prescribe specialized treatments, including controlled substances and Suboxone. My dedication to excellence in psychiatry has been recognized through multiple Outstanding Resident Teacher Awards during my residency. My mission is to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of my patients, and I am here to support you on your journey to improved mental health.

I help anxious high achievers build awareness of their overactive nervous systems in order to calm the overwhelm and smother the burn out. Together, we will practice body-based strategies to calm the fight/flight responses, process & unpack the stories from your past using your body as a guide and develop a long-lasting plan for you to become self-sufficient in your own healing. I’m here to listen, validate, and facilitate. With somatic-based therapy, you will learn what it means to drop into your body, get curious about sensations, and embody the tools that finally keep burnout and overwhelm at bay. You are more than just tired. You’re burnt to a crisp - overwhelmed by the daily slog of work, family, and relationships. What used to fill your cup and bring you joy are now things that just drain your battery. Thinking about that never ending to-do list has left you overwhelmed and feeling defeated. But it’s more than just a mindset for you right now. You feel it in your body. The racing heartbeat, sweaty palms, the ache in the pit of your stomach. You’re having so many overwhelming sensations and feelings, you feel out of control. You know all the things that should make it better, but you feel immobilized; unable to shift into action. Or maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before, only to find that now that the story has been processed, you still don’t feel different. If you are ready to take control of your body & your life, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to discover how therapy with a plan and the right therapist can make the difference in how to feel right now and beyond.

This means that I focus on the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and place emphasis on irrational thought processes. 

I am a clinical social worker with over 15 years experience working with a range of clients from children to adults. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I have provided therapy in hospitals, schools, and clinics.
