Kristen E. Bettencourt, PsyD

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Cambridge and Wellesley, Massachusetts, providing individual therapy to adults of all ages. With a warm, down-to-earth, and supportive style, I help clients work through challenges such as OCD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, academic and career concerns, grief and loss, and creative blocks.

My approach is client-centered and integrative, grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD from an ACT perspective, aiming to help you live a more full, flexible life, where you (not your OCD) call the shots.

I received my doctorate in psychology from William James College. I completed clinical internships at Wellesley College and Tufts Medical Center, and received additional clinical training through a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates.
