First impression was that it might be Bittersweet but it can't look like a
dogwood and poison ivy at the same time.

One would think you would have noticed the yellow fruit and bright red
fleshy seeds too.

A closeup picture of the vine itself would be more useful.

I live in Massachusetts and I have a few trees in my front yard who appear
to be held hostage by some kind of climbing vine.

leaf;

There are also some clusters of dried berries within the leaves. Any help
is
appreciated. Thanks.
