Sasha Lambert, Psy.D. earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (now called William James College) in 2011. In 2009, she earned her master's degree from the same school, and in 2007, she earned her master's degree in psychological services from the University of Pennsylvania. Her pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship were completed at Joseph Smith Health center (Allston, MA), Boston Behavioral Medicine (Brookline, MA), Brenner Center for Psychological Assessment and Consultation (West Roxbury, MA), and Gershon Psychological Associates (Providence, RI). She has experience in psychological testing, bariatric evaluating, and psychotherapy, in various settings, including public school, college counseling center, community health center, OBGYN clinic, and private practice. She helps her patients by offering them an accepting and empathic place to talk about their lives. Depending on the needs of the individual, she may simply listen and follow, or she may be more directive and action-oriented, offering concrete tools that bring about symptom relief. She focuses on behaviors, thoughts, and relationships, and explores, together, what brings happiness. She treats adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety and depressive disorders, or going through difficult life transitions. She does couples therapy and helps with health-related behavior change. She trends toward a CBT approach, but also incorporates relational, solution-focused, and strengths-based methods. Lastly, she conducts pre-evaluations for patients seeking bariatric surgery.
