Additional Psychotherapy Session Options:

Our waitlist is a result of our school-aged population requiring after 3pm time slots. We have developed two additional treatment options to help shorten our wait times.

Short-Term Psychotherapy: Short-term treatment is typically more goal-oriented than long-term therapy and tends to focus on specific challenges. Short-term therapy tends to last from about 1-10 sessions, or 1-3 months. The therapist would assess your needs at the first session and determine if you would be a candidate for short-term therapy.

ASAP Intake Evaluation: We have immediate openings for Intake Evaluations. These sessions are 60-minutes long and are used to establish goals, ask questions, identify referrals to other specialities, and collaborate on short-term solutions. Intake appointments are available during the day (M-F, 9-2pm) and are an opportunity to receive an assessment as soon as possible. After Intake, you would return to the waitlist until a weekly or biweekly therapy slot opened with one of our clinicians that matches your schedule availability. Intakes can be seen in-person or via Telehealth.

Masters Level Student Rates: We have Masters Level Students complete their internship/practicums (6-12 months) with us frequently. They typically have sooner openings than our standard waitlist time as they are out-of-pocket only. The rate for students is $75 per session (negotiable fee for MassHealth patients). Students are supervised by one of our LMHC or LICSW clinicians. Once they graduate, we are able to bill them to insurance under their supervisor (assuming they chooose to stay with us post-graduation).
