I am an Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and staff psychologist at the Baker Center for Children and Families (a Harvard Medical School affiliate), where I conduct diagnostic intake assessments and provide evidence-based psychotherapy for children and adolescents with a variety of concerns including but not limited to generalized anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, specific phobia, selective mutism, major depression, adjustment disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
I have extensive clinical experience assessing and treating children, adolescents, and young adults with a variety of mental health challenges in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and schools. I have training in various evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Selective Mutism (PCIT-SM), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Modular Approach to Treatment for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC).
Please note: If you are looking for a South Asian provider for a child or adolescent, please call 617-232-8390 and request Dr. Nazia Denese as your intake clinician. Also, although I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and New York, I currently only see patients in Massachusetts.
