Peter Grinspoon, MD

I am a good listener, easy to talk to, and skilled at helping people come up with practical solutions to their most distressing and seemingly unsolvable problems. I view coaching as a partnership. I enjoy helping people with issues such as work-life balance, imposter syndrome, career transitions, and physician burnout/moral injury. I also coach quite frequently (and confidentially) on the issues of substance misuse, relationship transitions, such as separation and divorce, weight loss, writing and loneliness. Working together, we'll improve your quality of life and your self-efficacy. For a day job, I work as a PCP in an inner-city clinic. On a more personal note, I am fifteen years into recovery from a life-threatening opiate addiction. In the process of recovering from this, I have developed the insight, listening tools, presence, patience, perseverance and humility to work effectively with you as a coach. I also have a strong background in physician health, having served for two years as an Associate Director of the Massachusetts Physician Health Service, helping hundreds of docs with addiction, depression and all kinds of interpersonal strife. I truly understand the range of challenges that uniquely stress us out as healthcare providers. In my free time, I enjoy writing, walks in nature, social activism and playing with my lazy dog Benji.
