Mark Golden
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Massachusetts
Psychotherapy provided by experienced LICSW specializing in couple/family treatment in Massachusetts.
With over 40 years’ experience I have worked in a variety of clinical settings. Prior to my current solo practice, I was affiliated with a group practice (Needham Psychotherapy Associates) from 2000 to 2020.
My early training in family systems work has led me to focus my current interests on family and couple’s therapy.
In years past I have been on the teaching faculty of Boston University, Lesley College and Cambridge College.

Areas of Expertise
I have a straight forward, pragmatic approach to my work with couples & families. I try to quickly assess what is not working for a couple or family member and help them find more useful and productive ways to interact.
Family relationships, long term relationships and marriage can be a challenge. There are so many stressors in our lives such as the demands of a career, raising young children, managing rebellious teens, dealing with aging parents, and the changes that happen to individuals over time.
