Exceptional expertise
Dr. Agree’s promise to provide you with an unprecedented level of care includes staying abreast of cutting-edge developments in psychology and neuroscience. She frequently travels throughout the United States and to Europe, consulting with top researchers and clinicians from highly regarded institutions such as, the University College London, Yale University, and UCLA, to learn the latest clinical theories, and bring the most effective innovations to you.
Dr. Agree is one of the only practitioners of Mentalization-Based Treatment in the United States, trained to treat adults, adolescents and parents. Cultivating the ability to mentalize (also called reflective functioning) is necessary for all successful relationships, and is considered by many to be the foundation of psychological wellbeing.
Prior to becoming a psychologist, Dr. Agree enjoyed a successful career as a corporate attorney at two of the area’s largest law firms. Now, as a full-time psychologist, Dr. Agree is valued for her wisdom and experience regarding the role of work in one’s life – its significance, challenges, and meanings. She is frequently consulted on issues such as:
- personal and professional identity
- job transitions
- work-life balance
- career-path uncertainty
- workplace dynamics
- purpose and meaning
Because of her background, Dr. Agree naturally views things not only from a subjective, psychological stance, but also from an objective, practical perspective. Sometimes the most helpful approach is a clear-cut response, and she has no reservations about discussing things in unambiguous terms.
