Jacqueline Hogan, PhD

As a scientist-practitioner, I blend current research with clinical practice to provide personalized care for adults across the lifespan. I specialize in creating individualized treatment plans for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, intellectual and creative giftedness, relationships, life transitions, peri/menopause, lifestyle changes, healthy aging, and complex cases. I opened private practice because I want to return to a time when healthcare felt personal, and clients receive whole-person care.

I have worked extensively with multidisciplinary teams and understand the intersection of medical and mental health issues. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient medical settings, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams at leading institutions. These experiences deepened my understanding of the complex intersection between medical and mental health issues. Beyond clinical work, I’m an educator, researcher, and speaker. I’ve published in academic journals, led local and national training programs, taught graduate courses, and spoken to large audiences on topics such as lifestyle interventions for brain health and trauma-informed medical care.

Before becoming a psychologist, I was a documentary filmmaker, a researcher, a nonprofit leader, and an entrepreneur. While working in the Office of the President and Provost at Harvard University, I staffed the Task Force on Women in Science and Engineering before being appointed the founding director of the New England Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC). Within one year, I grew the organization from a deficit to self-sustaining, and expanded membership from one institution to 60—including many of the region’s largest employers such as MGH, Brigham & Women’s, MIT, BU, Northeastern, UMass, Yale, UNH, and UVM. I built the brand and website, managed marketing and PR (with features in The Boston Globe and NPR’s Marketplace), and oversaw an executive board of provosts, deans, and HR leaders. I was then recruited as the Director of Programs and Data for the National HERC, where I provided strategic leadership to 600+ member institutions, a 20-person executive board, 30 business partners, and 16 regional directors. My work centered on fostering collaboration across universities, developing data-driven tools and strategies, and strengthening business partnerships to improve hiring practices and workplace culture in higher ed. While working for the National HERC, I lived in rural Hawaii for 5 years and successfully managed operations across 5 timezones before the invention of Zoom. HERC remains the largest nonprofit higher ed job board in the nation.

Previously, I produced documentaries for non-profit organizations and worked at WGBH in Boston. My films have been screened at venues such as the Hynes Convention Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard University. Before that, I worked at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine on an NIH-funded Alzheimer's disease research study.

I was born and raised in Lynn, MA, attended boarding school on scholarship, and have either been working or a full-time student since delivering newspapers in the 4th grade. Today, I’m a proud mother, a wife, and part of a blended family. My passions include art, yoga, martial arts, costume designing, and launching new projects. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my family, laughing loudly, listening to historical fiction, volunteering, walking, dancing, or practicing my kata.
