Dillon Lutes, LMHC (he/they)

Whether you are facing in-the-moment or long term concerns, therapy provides unique and professional third-party perspectives. I believe difficulties processed in a healthy way can lead to greater resilience and tranquility. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. As a queer therapist, I am an impassioned supporter of assisting LGBTQIA+ clients regarding internal and societal difficulties.

I obtained my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Boston College, where I am honored to work as an adjunct professor teaching aspiring counselors. I have practiced in a variety of settings such as a college wellness center, Mass General Brigham, and group practice. In session, I draw from an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Feminist Therapy.

My goal is to get you feeling better as soon as possible, then to work collaboratively in understanding why the difficulties arose in the first place. I strive to make every session a warm and informal conversation. I look forward to working with you!

Therapeutic Modalities

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the theory that thoughts cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and modifying dysfunctional beliefs underlying their thinking. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders.

  • Existential - Humanistic Therapy

    Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. Therapists in this tradition are interested in exploring the nature of creativity, love, and self-actualization. Clients realize their potential through change and self-directed growth.

  • Psychodynamic Narrative Therapy

    Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapists believe that the past influences the present, and that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict. Narrative therapy uses the client's storytelling to indicate the way they make meaning in their lives, while externalizing and deconstructing problematic and dominant storylines.

  • Feminist Therapy

    Feminist therapy, an integrative approach for all gender identities, focuses on challenges and stressors faced as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination, and other factors that threaten mental health. The therapeutic relationship, based on an authentic connection between the therapist and client, helps empower clients to understand the social factors that contribute to their concerns, claim their unique identity, and build on personal strengths.
