Getting to know Dr. James Gardner

Jim has a passion for language and international cultures, as evidenced by his extensive work with Russian Jewish immigrants. As a person in recovery for over 10 years, he is personally acquainted with the struggles related to maintaining sobriety. He is also grateful to God for the life lessons he has learned caring for aging parents and a partner. These experiences have taught him valuable lessons about the care of others. Jim is a LICSW with a Ph.D. in Clinical Social Work from Smith College. As a licensed social worker, he not only focuses on an individual's mental health but also considers the role of the social environment that affects each person. After receiving his MSW in 1982, he served at the D St. clinic in South Boston for 28 years. More recently, Jim has over 5 years of outpatient experience working with clients on both a short- and long-term basis. Over this time, he gained experience and became skilled at addressing many mental health issues.
