I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a Certified Group Psychotherapist, and a Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. I have 30 years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups. My private practice offices are located in Brookline and Arlington, Massachusetts.  I am active on numerous committees and boards related to group therapy and prioritize ongoing learning in diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

My practice is focused on individual adults, and group therapy. I specialize in working with women+ who are in transition. Whether transitioning from college to graduate school or work, beginning or ending a relationship or job, becoming a parent or empty nester, or coming out to family and friends, these experiences offer an opportunity for reflection, insight and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Oona Metz.

My Approach

I love being a therapist and I fully believe in the healing power of talk therapy. I also believe in the therapeutic value of regular exercise, yoga, time spent in nature, laughter, a consistent gratitude practice, Vitamin D and chocolate. 

I believe: 

  • We are all works in progress 

  • We are all doing the best we can

  • We all have the capacity to change

My practice affirms, promotes, and celebrates people without regard to race, color, sex, disability, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, national origin, age or socioeconomic status. Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons with particular identities. I pledge to do all I can to replace such barriers with solidarity, mutual respect and ongoing personal education and reflection.
