Remy Leutwyler, L.I.C.S.W.

Remy launched his therapeutic career at The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Institute (OCDI), McLean Hospital, Affiliate of Harvard Medical School. During the five years he worked there, Remy led a variety of clinical groups and coached daily exposure therapy sessions. He developed a particular interest in working with clients struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as trichotillomania and nail-biting, and was recognized for his ability to motivate clients who felt stuck in life.

He received his graduate degree from Boston College’s School of Social Work and then attained his LICSW. Along the way, Remy has worked in a variety of settings and with diverse populations, ranging from psychiatric emergency services to therapeutic schools. He was also a research assistant in a lab identifying neurological pathways involved in racial biases and discrimination.

Remy has a deep passion for viewing the client within their environment, and he consistently strives to destigmatize and encourage accessibility to mental health treatment. He brings a blend of curiosity, humor, and gentleness to collaborate with clients on their unique paths. His eclectic and relational approach often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with therapies that help clients feel emotionally connected to themselves and others (such as Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Emotion Focused Therapy).

When not at work, Remy loves engaging with all forms of human expression – listening to music, watching ’80s movies, reading fiction and history, going to museums, and woodworking. He’s also an avid scuba diver and won’t hesitate to tell you a fun fact about fish!

“If you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note you play that determines if it’s good or bad.”
— Miles Davis

Remy enjoys working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities, including differences in ethnicity, socioeconomic status, nationality, immigration status, religion, gender identity, sexuality, neurodivergence, and disability. He strives to understand how each person’s unique experiences shape their mental health, and he works collaboratively to tailor treatment with respect, curiosity, and care.
