Welcome to my practice. I am Dr. Kara Harrington, a licensed psychologist dedicated to providing exceptional care to my patients. My approach is fueled by a strong academic background, excellent clinical and research training, and a deep-seated passion for helping others.

I have trained and worked in the field of psychology in the Boston area for the past 20 years. My academic journey began at Boston College where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I went on to earn a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Northeastern University and a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College. I have completed rigorous training at some of Boston’s most esteemed institutions including, Massachusetts General Hospital, the Mind Body Medical Institute, and Joslin Diabetes Center. These experiences have equipped me with a diverse skill set and a deep understanding of various therapeutic modalities. I am a specialist in depression, anxiety, career issues, and have worked with many different health concerns such as infertility issues, weight loss, and substance abuse. Through my clinical and research endeavors, I developed an expertise in the mental health issues and quality of life concerns facing those diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and their families.

I really love being a psychologist. The science relating to brain function, human behavior, and mind-body connection is fascinating. But the fact that I can use this information to help people feel better, makes my work so fulfilling.

At the core of my practice, is a genuine care for my patients. I enjoy meeting with people, getting curious about them, and finding ways to help. I consider it a privilege to be invited into your life. I honor that by providing a confidential, supportive space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth; I am here to guide you on your journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. Thank you for considering my practice for your mental health needs. I look forward to working with you, on your path towards healing and transformation.
