Calvin Fitch, PhD

As a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist, I specialize in working with high-achieving Black gay and bisexual men — executives, founders, artists, creators, entertainers, and public-facing professionals. What brings them to this practice is rarely one thing: it is the accumulation of stressors like being "the Black one" in C-suites and elite institutions. Sometimes it's the stress of carrying both who they are and who the room expects. They need a space that is both clinically excellent, but also culturally responsive. As someone who has navigated spaces like these, I provide a therapeutic space to hold what society cannot.

As Black people, we often have to make a perilous choice. A therapist with great training, but who is not identity matched and doesn't understand nuances of our identity, or a therapist who is identity-matched but sessions feel more like a friend than someone who can challenge us appropriately. I built my practice so that you don't have to choose. I am an integrative therapist who uses bonafide treatments like CBT, DBT, ACT and CPT through a Black and LGBTQ+ liberation-focused lens.

If you've spent your life being exceptional in spaces that weren't built for you, this practice was built for you. As a Black gay male who has navigated intense standards and scrutiny that comes with Ivy League training, I know we can't immediately change the system, but we can outmaneuver it.
