Benjamin McDermott has two degrees from University of Massachusetts Lowell: a B.S. in chemistry and B.A. is psychology. For over six years, he has worked in inpatient mental healthcare, at both Cambridge Health Alliance with adolescents of all diagnoses and with adults at McLean hospital on a bipolar disorder/schizophrenia unit. Ben finds it incredibly meaningful and rewarding to support patients who are in crisis by reframing events and engaging in grounding techniques to help them move forward. Learning from each patient’s experiences and presenting issues is the best way to make sure that they’re getting the individualized patient care that they need. Above all, excellent patient care and attentiveness to patient needs drives Ben in his everyday practice.
