About Seth


I’m a board-certified clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and advisor to executives and organizations.

My perspective has been shaped across clinical, operational, and leadership roles, including at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the Austen Riggs Center, where I serve as Associate Director of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). In addition to my own consulting practice, I’ve coached leaders at Stanford GSB’s Leading Change and Organizational Renewal (LCOR) program, bringing clinical expertise into direct conversation with organizational strategy at the highest levels.

Earlier in my career, I was a recording artist and touring musician with the band Wild Light. Building something from the ground up, performing under pressure, and managing intense, creative partnerships proved to be a master class in entrepreneurship. In addition to many peak experiences, it gave me a lasting understanding of leadership, collaboration, and endurance.

My peer-reviewed research has received awards from the American Psychological Association and the Society for Personality Assessment, and I’ve served as an expert witness in civil and criminal cases involving posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also developed and lead the Austen Riggs IOP measurement-based care initiative, using empirical data to support program improvement and promote lasting clinical change. Each of these roles require balancing theoretical with practical considerations and the ability to leverage meaningful, accurate data in high-impact situations — the same skills and discipline I bring to my consulting work.
