What to know
CBT, DBT-informed, and ACT therapy in Massachusetts.
Therapy here is for adults (18+). Our therapists are licensed independent clinical social workers (LICSW) who tailor the approach to you — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, or a season of life that feels heavier than it should.
Approaches we use
- CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) — noticing and shifting patterns in thoughts and behavior
- DBT-informed skills — tools for strong emotions, distress, and relationships
- ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) — moving toward what matters, even with hard feelings
- Supportive therapy — a consistent place to think things through
Who you’ll see
Erin LaFlamme, LICSW (Boston University, Boston College, McLean research experience) and Leslie Balogna, LICSW (CBT, DBT, family systems; fluent in French) provide therapy for adults. You’ll see the same therapist each visit.
Sessions
Sessions are typically about 53 minutes, in person at our Winchester office (955 Main Street) or Peabody office (6 Essex Center Drive), or by secure video. Self-pay rate: $150 per session.
Teens and medication
We do not offer talk therapy for teens. Adolescents 13–17 are seen for psychiatric evaluation and medication management with our psychiatric nurse practitioners. Adults who would like medication alongside therapy can see both — read about combined care.
Insurance
Some insurance plans cover medication management only. We will tell you before you book. See insurance and rates.
Not for emergencies. If you are in crisis, call 911, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to the nearest emergency room.
