Cali-Ryan Collin, MSW, PhD
I love getting outside and spending time with my wife, fur baby, and human baby.
Ed Boudreaux, PhD
I understand the unique pressures healthcare providers experience, especially in the context of modern healthcare where pressure is generated not only from caring for sick patients but also navigating an increasingly complex and bureaucratic system that zaps much of the satisfaction from the work.
My approach includes careful attention to identifying and growing an individual’s existing strengths, as well as building new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others that foster mindfulness, meaning, connectedness, and resilience.
Outside of work, my wife and I spend most of our time raising our two children, maintaining our Victorian home – which is like our third child! – tending our garden, and building birdhouses. I also enjoy traveling, reading science fiction, relaxing on my front porch, and brewing beer.

Naomi Schwenke, PhD, LMFT
My area of expertise is helping people understand the ways in which their nervous system is responding to their experiences and how to regulate it. We often know the stories that accompany our experiences, and we may be aware of our emotional and behavioral responses, yet we may not know how it’s connected to our nervous system or what to do with overwhelming nervous system responses.
I love spending time with my family and enjoying the brief, but wonderful Minnesota summers at the lake or working in my garden.
Shauna Finley, PhD
As a clinical psychologist who has been working in academic medicine for over 15 years, I understand the career and lifestyle challenges that healthcare professionals face. I endeavor to “help the helpers.” Environmental challenges in the healthcare field can create obstacles in delivering care and contribute to provider stress and burnout. Rigorous training and a culture of ambition can, ironically, contribute to poor mental health in practitioners.
I offer evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches that can help to stress-proof your mind from anxiety and depression. Whether you are having difficulty concentrating, fatigue, irritability, low moods, poor sleep, or just feeling stuck in a rut, I am here to help. Through therapy, you can increase your ability to regulate your emotions, build healthy behavioral habits, self-soothe when distressed, and improve flexible thinking. I will help you protect your own mental health and carve out important life areas for a more well-rounded and balanced experience that is less vulnerable to stress.
In my personal life, I am a working mother of two daughters and enjoy being in the woods, near the ocean, or sitting in an Adirondack chair and watching a campfire.
Ummul-Kiram Kathawalla, PhD
I have expertise in a variety of presenting concerns including work stress, relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and substance use. I also have expertise and a passion for career exploration and perinatal mental health. I aim to provide culturally informed care and emphasize peoples' strengths with the hope to support everyone to live a life according to their values. I adapt my approach to my client’s needs and tend to pull from Acceptance and Committment Therapy and Mindfulness approaches.
I am originally from Minnesota (land of 10,000 lakes) and so in my free time you can find me by a body of water. When I am not swimming, I am traveling, doing yoga, watching a new show, trying new foods, and listening to live music.
Angela Wendorf, PhD
In my practice, I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based practices. I incorporate a values-based approach to guide meaningful change, growth, and wellness.
I have expertise and passion for working with people on insomnia, coping with acute and chronic medical conditions, and health behavior and lifestyle changes.
I am originally from Wisconsin, trained in California, and now call New England my home. Outside of work, I love being outdoors and exploring trails, mountains, and waterways with my husband and tiny (but mighty!) Chiweenie.

Brian Van Buren, PhD
I have spent most of my career working in hospitals and understand the unique pressures of inpatient medicine, rounding on the wards, and caring for people with complex medical problems. I am passionate about partnering with healthcare professionals to foster wellness, resilience, and meaning in their personal and professional lives. Working in healthcare, there are many opportunities for exposure to traumatic events and I work with people to address the residue of this work.
In my spare time, I enjoy running, spending time with family and friends, and exploring all that New England has to offer.
For existing patients: Meet with Brian.

Gabriela Ramirez, PsyD
Assisting fellow healthcare professionals with burnout is near and dear to my heart, as I have experienced (and overcome) burnout myself. As a mother I am also passionate about working with mothers in healthcare, as we face unique challenges in meeting the demands of multiple roles. My therapeutic style draws mainly from 3rd wave CBT therapies like DBT, ACT, Radically Open DBT, and mindfulness. One saying from DBT that guides my therapeutic style is the concept of “creating a life worth living”, and how to do that under some of the stressors that come with working in healthcare.
I have specialized training in working with patients diagnosed with an eating disorder and with patients experiencing chronic pain. I enjoy working with people to help them make small or large changes in their lives to create a life that they take pleasure in living.
In my personal time, I like to practice yoga, travel with friends, cook, and spend time with family.
For existing patients: Meet with Gabriela.
Gabriela is not taking new patients at this time.
Marta Pagán-Ortiz, PhD
I’ve worked with individuals facing a range of issues, including transitions, professional challenges, relationship concerns, and chronic health conditions. I also have specialized training in traumatic stress and working with populations with marginalized backgrounds and identities. I’m passionate about working holistically and collaboratively to help individuals feel safe, feel heard, understand their needs, their strengths, and develop ways to face their challenges effectively. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and I’m happy to work with patients in Spanish, as well as in English.
Outside of work, I value spending time with my family and my community, as well as reading and writing.
For existing patients: Meet with Marta.

Ann Maloney, MD
When not seeing patients, you may find me on the water rowing, raising my teenagers with my wife, and out getting fresh produce to feed our ‘non-stop eating’ pandemic pet rabbit, Dash.
Meet with Ann (for CHA GME, UMass GME, or St. Elizabeth’s Psychiatry only).
