TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

As a therapist, Aline Zoldbrod is known for her intelligence, humor, and warmth. In practice for 35 years, she brings her life experience as a woman, wife and mother to the therapy using an involved and active model rather than a clinical, distant approach.

Her treatment philosophy is

•   To be very active in every session:
•   A carefully developed, individualized treatment plan
•   Frequent feedback
•   Concrete help and varied treatment strategies
•   Attention to the relationship
•   A therapist who is emotionally present in the therapy
•   A therapist who not only teaches others, but who spends time and money on her own continuing training and supervision
  

She works with women and men of all ages and sexual orientations, providing individual, couple, and sexual therapy.

Associated with the Lahey Clinic Center for Sexual Function (Peabody, Massachusetts) she is well known in the Boston area.
