Alan Dupont, LICSW

I began my mental health career working in residential therapeutic communities, giving me a unique perspective on working with those suffering acutely; in these environments, it was more  possible to be human with one another than is often the case for people requiring a higher level of care. It became my conviction that all people deserve an experience of therapy which protects their dignity.

In my practice, I have worked with people who have a broad range of struggles ranging from dissatisfaction with life and identity exploration to people who have suffered severe traumas or who have a history of hospitalization. I specialize in working with patients who are skeptical of therapy, are concerned their beliefs or experience may be stigmatized, have stalled in skill-based therapy, who have been traumatized by the mental health system or have been made to feel “difficult” or “resistant.”

I earned my BA at Bennington college and my MSW at Salem State University. I am currently a Fellow at PINE Psychoanalytic Society of New England.
