aviva bock

psychotherapist

Aviva Bock is a licensed psychotherapist with 30 years of experience. She  maintains private practices in Newton Center and Cambridge. Aviva is a teaching associate in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of London, and she has advanced degrees from Harvard and Brandeis.


Aviva's approach to psychotherapy draws from many different theories and techniques. She combines traditional psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques with cutting-edge somatic modalities based on research on the brain, and on how the mind and body process trauma and stress.


These modalities frequently enable the people that Aviva sees to quite rapidly become proficient at soothing and calming themselves. This in turn can lead them to resolve or reframe the conflicts that brought them to therapy in the first place.


Of course each person is unique, so sessions are paced and geared to the expressed needs and wishes of the individual.
