ETHAN G. JAFFEE, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist in Cambridge providing psychotherapy and medication management. In my practice, I specialize in providing in-depth psychotherapy for the individual. I completed my psychiatry residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean Hospital where I served as the chief resident of the emergency psychiatry service. I also completed the Fellowship in Psychotherapy at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (BPSI). I am currently in training at BPSI to become an adult psychoanalyst.
​
In addition to my practice, I have provided mentorship to residents at the MGH/McLean program interested in psychotherapy and also taught a class at BPSI on building a private practice.
