As a childhood cancer survivor himself, Dr. Ethan has always been passionate about helping
individuals and families navigating life challenges, including those dealing with health-related
concerns. This led him to completing a fellowship in clinical psychology in the division of

to the comprehensive family support they provide!

where they’re at” and helping them to realize their full potential through making manageable
changes in their lives. He uses a variety of clinical techniques and approaches depending on
the needs of the individual and family, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Dr. Ethan is also excited to offer neurocognitive, educational, and psychological evaluation
options at Be. Emotional Health. As a clinical and school psychologist, he brings a wealth of
knowledge and experience in providing families with testing, comprehensive reports, and
actionable recommendations targeting the home, work, and school functioning of the individual.
In his free time, Ethan enjoys the outdoors, swimming, the arts/live theater, traveling, good
