Dr. Henry Friedman, MD

Dr. Henry Friedman, MD

Psychiatrist
6 Garden Terrace, Cambridge, MA
I am a psychiatrist trained in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, with a Doctor of Medicine degree from Johns Hopkins University. I completed my internship at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and my residency in psychiatry at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. My practice focuses on individuals who struggle to find satisfaction in both their work and love lives despite achieving considerable professional success. For over 30 years, I have been seeing individuals and couples, providing combined therapy that includes both medication and psychotherapy. I tailor the frequency of sessions-from once to four times per week-based on each patient's need for more or less intensive therapy. While I acknowledge the past as a determinant of the present, the work is done in the here and now. As a psychiatrist-psychoanalyst, I offer a comprehensive approach to help patients move forward in their lives. I believe my ability to prescribe medication for depression or anxiety, when combined with my understanding of the interpersonal sources of emotional distress, is uniquely effective. However, I do not see any patients for medication only, particularly regarding ADD and ADHD. Many individuals who seek my help are deeply unhappy and suffer from choices made in life when they lacked the assertiveness necessary to get more from their work or love situations. I address present sources of unhappiness without neglecting the past influences that contribute to them.

Very professional, proficient doc. Appreciated his time and expertise. Recommended
Very productive, Clear communication.
The office is a home office. There is no sign or mention of it so when I got there I rang the doorbell and no one answered. I called and there was no answer. I eventually went to my car and waited again for 10 minutes. When I went back his wife or significant other answered and seemed to be a bit miffed that I didn't just come in, but there was no indication I should. When I got in Dr. Friedman seemed a bit miffed because he wasn't sure why Zocdoc said he had an appointment. He also didn't do the treatment I needed and so within a minute I was out the door. The whole experience was quite unsatisfactory, especially that he provided no guidance on where I might seek help elsewhere.
Extremely helpful.
