Hi, my name is Nick Barnes – and I’m a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and pain medicine physician located just outside of Boston. I work with a broad range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, OCD, complex medical issues, and chronic pain. I help people recognize and shed problematic thought patterns. I take a holistic approach to mental health and believe that the body keeps the score for many of our past hurts. I draw on traditional talk therapy, mindfulness and philosophical perspectives, and modern neuroscience to help people develop insight, self-acceptance, and more emotional freedom.

I provide treatment that is effective, evidence-based, and empathic. The core treatment of my practice is talk therapy. When appropriate, I will combine my knowledge of medications, pain treatments, and other medical interventions to create a treatment plan that is right for you. I provide a private, professional, and comfortable environment conducive to feeling safe enough to allow reflection and growth. I treat my clients with respect, recognizing the privilege of being allowed into another’s internal world.

I invite you to learn more about me and the treatments I offer.
