Services

We know starting a relationship with a new therapist can be awkward and intimidating. Whether you’ve been in therapy for years, or you’ve never had a session before, we’ll work at your pace to help you feel comfortable with the therapy process.

We enthusiastically welcome individuals of any race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and faith to seek care with us.

Individual Therapy

Individual online therapy plans are tailored to meet the needs of each unique client. Typically, individual sessions occur weekly (but can be more or less frequent), and last for 50-55 minutes (but can be longer or shorter). Frequency and length of treatment is determined by the client’s goals, needs, and progress.

Adolescent Therapy

We keep a limited number of slots available for individual adolescent clients. Adolescent therapy plans may include sessions with parents/caregivers and/or other family members, and sometimes involves connecting with other resources (like a school) when warranted.

Couples Therapy

Couples work involves regular joint sessions with both members of the couple, and may sometimes include individual sessions with one member of the couple, when warranted.

Group Therapy

We aren’t running any groups at this time, but please check back regularly.

Useful Information

Some frequently asked questions and useful answers.

Online therapy works in the same way as in-office therapy, but is done online, similar to a Skype or FaceTime conversation. Clients are able to have sessions from home, work, or any other convenient location. We meet with clients using a HIPAA-compliant secure platform.

Online therapy allows you to work with us from the comfort of home, or any private location of your choosing. For some, the screen provides an added layer of comfort that makes the challenging work of being vulnerable in therapy a little easier.

Online therapy also creates the unique opportunity for you to work with us without the constraints of proximity! The practice was born in Keene, New Hampshire, but has since grown to service clients anywhere in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Florida, and New Hampshire.

Online therapy is a great option for clients that travel for work, for college students that go home during the summertime and do not want a break in their sessions, and for anyone with a challenging or inconsistent day-to-day schedule. It is an excellent choice for clients seeking a therapist with a particular specialty that they are unable to find support for locally. Some of our clients report that online therapy makes the vulnerability element of therapy a bit less intimidating.

No. For some clients with more complex symptoms or safety concerns, having a local therapist that is readily available is important in case of crisis or the need for a higher level of care. Online therapy is also a challenge for clients that do not have access to a private, quiet space to be “in session” for the hour, or for those that do not have adequate internet connectivity.

There are several reasons why we don’t accept insurance. The most important are:

Confidentiality. Insurance companies require that your information be shared with them in order to pay for services. We prefer that clients’ information is kept as confidential as possible.

The pressure to diagnose. Insurance companies require that clients are given a mental health diagnosis in order to pay for therapy. We have found that many clients benefit from therapy, but do not meet criteria for a diagnosis. Not using insurance allows clients to access therapy without being given a mental health diagnosis.

Flexibility and freedom. Insurance companies dictate the length and number of sessions they will authorize, as well as when a client is no longer eligible for the benefits of therapy. Because we do not work with insurance panels, you and we can collaborate to determine your individual needs regarding session length, frequency of sessions, and when to terminate therapy.

While we do not accept insurance, many clients choose to submit receipts to their insurance companies to receive reimbursement via out-of-network benefits. We are happy to provide these receipts for you! Please check with your insurance company for details on your benefits.
