Individual Therapy
Therapy works when the therapist is skilled, the approach is evidence-based, and treatment is coordinated with your full clinical picture. Here, your therapist works alongside your prescriber under the same roof, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Adolescents and adults, in Duxbury, Back Bay and by telehealth across MA and NH.
Structured, Evidence-Based, Measurable
The quality of the therapist and the approach determine whether you experience real change or just spend an hour venting every week.
It Rewires Neural Pathways
Neuroimaging research shows evidence-based psychotherapy produces measurable changes in brain function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala and hippocampus.
It Produces Lasting Results
Medication addresses symptoms while you take it. Therapy builds skills and changes patterns that persist after treatment ends, and relapse rates are lower when therapy is part of the plan.
It Amplifies Medication Response
Combined treatment, medication plus psychotherapy, consistently outperforms either alone. When therapist and prescriber coordinate in real time, the effect compounds.
The Right Approach Matters
CBT for anxiety, trauma-focused protocols for PTSD, behavioral activation for depression. The intervention has to match the condition.
How Our Therapists Work
Choose one to read how we approach it.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The gold standard for anxiety, depression, OCD and insomnia. CBT identifies and restructures the thought patterns that drive distress and unhelpful behavior. Structured, goal-oriented, and results often show within weeks.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills, especially useful for intense emotions and for adolescents building regulation skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Instead of fighting difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT builds psychological flexibility: staying present, holding uncomfortable experiences, and still moving toward what matters to you.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Structured approaches for PTSD, complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences, paced to what you can tolerate, that help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and restore regulation.
Motivational Interviewing
For ambivalence about change, substance use and health behaviors. A collaborative approach that strengthens your own motivation rather than imposing pressure from outside.
Three Things Most Practices Get Wrong
Integrated With Psychiatric Care
Your therapist and prescriber communicate directly. When your therapist notices a medication issue, your prescriber knows the same day; when a dose changes, the therapy adjusts with it.
Measurement-Based Progress
Validated instruments track your progress session over session. You and your therapist see the trajectory, and if progress stalls, the approach changes.
Matched to Your Condition
Your therapist chooses the modality the research supports for your diagnosis and adapts it as treatment progresses and new clinical data comes in.
Informed by Advanced Diagnostics
Neurocognitive testing, GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing and a full psychiatric evaluation inform the therapy from day one, which a standalone therapy practice cannot offer.
Conditions and Challenges
Depression
Behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring and relapse prevention tailored to how your depression presents.
Anxiety Disorders
CBT, exposure-based work and ACT for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic and phobias.
PTSD and Trauma
Trauma-focused care for first responder exposure, combat, assault, abuse and medical trauma.
Life Transitions
Career changes, grief, identity, relationships and the adjustment that comes with major life shifts.
Relationships and Communication
Interpersonal effectiveness, conflict resolution, boundaries and the patterns that affect your personal and professional life.
Stress and Burnout
For high performers carrying unsustainable workloads and anyone whose coping capacity has been exceeded.

Frequently Asked
How do I know if I need therapy, medication, or both?
Your intake evaluation looks at the full picture and recommends the right combination. For many conditions, combined treatment works better than either alone, and your clinical team will make a specific recommendation based on your diagnosis, severity and preferences.
How often are sessions?
Most people start weekly. As symptoms improve and skills take hold, sessions may move to every other week and then monthly. The pace follows your progress, not an arbitrary schedule.
I have tried therapy before and it did not work.
Outcomes depend heavily on matching the approach to the condition and on the skill of the therapist. If past therapy felt like unfocused venting with no measurable progress, this will feel different: structured, measured and coordinated with the rest of your care.
Do you see teenagers?
Yes. Our therapists work with adolescents from age 15 and with adults. Parents and guardians can complete the intake for a minor.
Can I do therapy by telehealth?
Yes. Secure video sessions are available anywhere in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and many people find it easier to fit into a working week.
What insurance do you accept?
We are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim and Tufts Health Plan, with self-pay and out-of-network options. We verify your benefits before your first session.
