Immediate Openings: CBTeam’s Child Intensive Outpatient Program (Courage Academy)
📅 For ages 7–17

Courage Academy is the gift that keeps on giving for anxious kids and teens. Our intensive format accelerates progress through consistency and frequent, focused practice of new skills.

💬 From Courage Academy parents:

“CBTeam met my child where they were, and they weren’t afraid to speak truth to power and really shake things up. That is exactly what we needed. The parental support was above and beyond anything we had ever been offered — we had some very rough patches during treatment, and the team was always there to support us and our family.”

“What we accomplished with the IOP and team and family support was amazing — our child went from 2 hours of showering a day to skipping a day, which was incredible.”

Navigating Holiday Stress

December can be beautiful — and it can also be a lot.

Full schedules, disrupted routines, sensory overload, financial pressure, and complex family dynamics can take a real toll on mental health.

If the season feels heavier than expected, here are a few ways to support yourself:

1. Protect your energy.
Choose the gatherings and commitments that feel manageable — not the ones you feel obligated to power through.

2. Create pockets of quiet.
A few minutes of stillness, dim light, or stepping outside can reset an overstimulated nervous system.

3. Stay connected to what matters to you.
Traditions don’t have to be big or social. They can be simple: a warm drink, a favorite show, a walk, a breath.

4. Let “good enough” be enough.
You don’t need to meet every expectation. Softening the pressure often creates more peace than pushing harder.

This season doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
Take the moments you need, and care for yourself gently.

“My anxiety, can’t shake it off of me… Somebody’s watchin’ me and my anxiety.” — Doechii taps into the noise we try to ignore, the rhythm we try to outrun. This track isn’t just a bop—it’s a mirror.

At CBTeam, we know that anxiety can feel like a constant presence—lurking, buzzing, building. It’s more than a lyric. For many, it’s daily life.

🎶 So play the track. Let it move you.

🌿 You Are Not Broken

This month, we’re sharing Josh Korda’s powerful piece, You Are Not Broken (via Lion’s Roar), for its compassionate take on mental health.

As clinicians, we often help others untangle shame and self-blame—yet we, too, can forget that our struggles are not flaws, but natural responses to a complex world.

When we meet pain with understanding instead of correction, we create space for healing that begins with belonging, not fixing.

Josh Korda reveals how your pain may be a sign — not of personal failure, but of a world that needs changing.

We’re (fashionably) late in announcing a fantastic addition to CBTeam—Dr. Paul Sullivan, who joined us in August as a child and adolescent clinician specializing in anxiety and mood disorders. We’re excited to share that Dr. Sullivan is now accepting new clients!

Dr. Sullivan brings a wealth of clinical training and experience, with a deep focus on youth mental health. From his early days at McLean Hospital’s OCD Institute to his pre- and post-doctoral training at Bellevue Hospital, NYU Child Study Center, and Weill Cornell, Dr. Sullivan has worked across diverse inpatient, outpatient, and academic settings. He even received Teacher of the Year honors at the NYU Child Study Center for his work training future psychologists.

Dr. Sullivan’s clinical interests include:
- OCD & anxiety disorders
- Mood disorders
- Child, adolescent, and young adult treatment
- Team-based, evidence-driven care

When he’s not working with clients, Dr. Sullivan enjoys cheering on Boston sports, rewatching his favorite films, spending time with his family, and indulging in his lifelong love of WWE (yes—he’s been to multiple Wrestlemanias!).

To wrap up OCD Awareness Week, CBTeam was proud to sponsor a Young Adult Meet-Up in Brighton for individuals with OCD, hosted by local IOCDF Advocates: Molly Fishback, Jessie Birnbaum and Caroline Kalen.

The event was filled with community, conversation, food, and crafts—all aimed at fostering connection and support during the final days of OCD Awareness Week. We’re so grateful to have been part of this special gathering!

This week, CBTeam shares a mix of heartfelt gratitude and sadness as we prepare to bid farewell to Dr. Adam Reid in his role as Co-Owner and Founding Director of Child and Adolescent Services. As of July 1, 2025, Adam will step away from his leadership position to return to full-time clinical work and begin a new chapter in his professional life.

Since joining CBTeam in 2018, Adam has played a pivotal role in our growth—from a small group of part-time clinicians to a thriving team of over 14 full-time clinicians and a supportive staff. His leadership helped shape our clinical programming and fostered the evolution of our team.

Adam was instrumental in developing our Intensive Outpatient Program, Psychological Testing services, and child and adolescent initiatives like Camp Courage, Club Courage, and Courage Academy. He also led our marketing and website efforts and worked hard to make our space feel like a home-away-from-home. Above all, Adam devoted countless hours to individual and group supervision—mentorship that deeply impacted our clinical team.

Adam's decision to step down reflects his desire to focus on being a full-time clinician and to reclaim more work-life balance after years of wearing many hats. He leaves CBTeam proud of the team he’s helped build and the hundreds of "this is why" moments he’s celebrated with staff during client breakthroughs.

He will reopen his private practice full-time at 1775 Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Lexington, MA, and can be reached at adamreidphd@reidtherapeuticservices.org.

On behalf of the entire CBTeam community—our staff, clients, and leadership—we thank Adam for his years of dedication, expertise, and care.

With appreciation,
Jason and Kim
