Psychotherapy & Consultation, Katherine Naftzger, Clinical Therapist in Boston & Newton, MA, Middlesex & Suffolk Counties

I love the energy and the dedication of the adoption community! One cannot do this work in isolation. Over the years, I have enjoyed doing consultation about diversity for schools and for colleagues who are interested in the adoption experience from a clinical perspective. I have spoken at conferences, and have run several
child and parent groups.
