APPOINTMENTS CURRENTLY TAKE PLACE VIA SECURE WEB-BASED VIDEO CONFERENCE OR IN-PERSON UPON REQUEST. My practice welcomes adults with a wide range of personal issues including depression, mood swings, anxiety, relationship issues, attention deficits, sleep problems, disordered eating, and substance abuse. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a thorough initial evaluation, establish a diagnosis, and make treatment recommendations. Depending on your individual situation, I may suggest psychotherapy and/or medication treatment with me or another clinician. My patients come from the Greater Boston area, throughout the United States, and around the world. I trained at Harvard Medical School and am the author of Healing Psychiatry: Bridging the Science/Humanism Divide (published by the MIT Press).

Verified patient
Dr. Brendel is fantastic. He is great at quickly helping me gain awareness of root cause of an issue even if it’s different than my preconceived narrative. As an adult with ADHD Dr. Brendel has been aware of the challenges that ADHD poses beyond work. Many clinicians unfortunately don’t go beyond “get a planner” mentality of ADHD and ignore the rejection sensitivity, rumination and emotional disregulation that also comes with ADHD. Is prescribing medication, I have never seen a Dr. as responsive to refill requests as Dr. Brendel. I have always felt safe with the way he prescribes medication and he has worked with me to make sure that I am getting the most benefit from medication with least side effects.
Verified patient
Excellent psychiatrist and therapist. Expert in medical issues and psychopharmacology; skilled therapist, and very good, strong use of psychological techniques as part of treatment. Smart, wise, kind.
