Brian L. Ackerman, MD

Specialties

I am a holistic, integrative, psychiatrist well-​trained in conventional psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

I am also an internationally recognized marriage and family therapist; I am a meditation teacher; and I am open to non-​mainstream treatment modalities. In my work, anyone that matters to you — with your permission — is welcome to attend the appointments, whether that be a parent, a child, a sibling, a partner, a friend, a minister, or a neighbor. People do not heal in a vacuum, but in the relationship world in which they live. A holistic psychiatrist cultivates this healing environment.

History

Established in 1976.

I began my practice after completing my residency in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in 1976. My practice has grown over the years to include Marriage and Family Therapy and integrating a holistic approach towards healing.
