Counseling & Therapy
At Northeast Health Services, we believe in the transformative power of therapy. Our experienced therapists use a multitude of evidence-based approaches to help each client reach their goals. Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and a variety of other challenges.
Our goal is to match you with the therapeutic services that work best for your situation, and we work collaboratively to help you feel supported every step of the way. Our therapists typically use a mix of modalities to best fit each person.
Benefits of working with us for talk therapy include:
- Personalized treatment plans: A therapist will ask questions to understand your unique symptoms, needs, and goals, then work with you to develop a plan toward these goals.
- Evidence-based techniques: Our therapists use a combination of science-backed practices, proven to be effective.
- Accessible care: We have conveniently located clinics across Massachusetts, or our clients can utilize telehealth for most services.
- Broad insurance acceptance: We are in-network with most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid at most locations.
- Flexible schedule: Our therapists vary their availability, offering sessions on evenings and weekends so you can find what will work for you.
- Personalized provider matching: Our intake team will work with you to find the best match for your needs, and if you end up not feeling like it’s a good fit, we can seamlessly set you up with a new provider.
Medication Management
Our mindful psychiatric providers take your needs and goals into account before making any prescription recommendations, working with your therapist to ensure your mental health is supported from all sides. Mental health medication can take time to work, and sometimes requires adjustment. This is why we schedule regular follow-up appointments, giving you plenty of time to ensure you’re on the best dose for your needs.
Our psychiatric prescribers take your needs seriously, meaning that our medication management services involve:
- A thorough intake appointment: Your prescriber will take time getting to know you, asking questions about your history, current symptoms, and specific needs.
- Developing a treatment plan: You provider takes all the information from your intake to make an informed recommendation about which medication(s) could be helpful for you, ensuring you understand your dosage, when you’ll start to feel changes, and any potential side effects to monitor.
- Collaboration with your whole care team: Your medication prescriber will work closely with your therapist and any other members of your care team to ensure your symptoms are addressed from all angles.
- Regular, ongoing monitoring: You’ll set up regular appointments to give you a space to track progress, voice any concerns that come up, and ensure you’re making progress.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy
Our clinics are proud to offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a non-invasive alternative to traditional medication for hard-to-treat depression, for both adults and adolescents. TMS works by using magnetic fields to stimulate underactive regions of the brain. Many of our clinics offer this specialized treatment from qualified professionals, ensuring your experience is safe and effective.
Some benefits of TMS include:
- Non-invasive procedure: TMS is incredibly low-risk and doesn’t require any anesthesia, so clients can drive home after sessions.
- Fewer side effects: The most common effect after treatment is a mild headache, which could be much more manageable for people who have adverse side effects from medication.
- Science-backed effectiveness: TMS is FDA-approved for depression, depression with anxiety, and OCD, and one study showed that 83% of clients experienced an improvement in the severity of their depression symptoms after treatment. It can also make therapy more effective, as it opens new neural pathways and connections in the brain.
Spravato®
Spravato® is a revolutionary esketamine-based nasal spray for people dealing with difficult-to-treat depression. Clinical research has shown that Spravato® can provide fast and enduring relief, giving new hope to those who haven’t responded well to traditional medications.
Some of the benefits of Spravato® for depression include:
- Fast-acting relief: Spravato® often works within a day or two, unlike traditional medication which can take weeks or even months to build up in the body.
- Safe clinical setting: Spravato® must be administered in an approved clinical setting, with monitoring for at least two hours after administration to ensure client safety.
- Leads to new insights in therapy: As Spravato® works to open new neural pathways and increase the brain’s overall function and communication, many people find that they make new connections and have an easier time implementing the coping skills they learn in therapy.
Mental Health Telehealth Services
Northeast Health Services offers virtual mental health services to provide our clients with the flexibility and convenience needed for optimal care. Our telehealth services allow you to access therapy and medication management appointments virtually, so you can attend from the comfort of home and a time that works for you. Our virtual visits are conducted using secure technology to ensure that your privacy and comfort remain our top priority as we deliver quality mental health care.
Some of the benefits of telehealth for mental health treatment include:
- Convenience: Skip the commute and receive care from wherever you are, whether that’s a quiet room in your home or from your car during your lunch break.
- Privacy: We use a secure online space, ensuring your information stays between you and your care team.
- Flexibility: Many of our providers offer evening and weekend hours, making telehealth work for your schedule.
Group Therapy
Group therapy can be a space where people going through specific circumstances or dealing with certain mental health concerns can find camaraderie and support with others in similar positions. These groups are always led by a qualified, skilled therapist who can ensure everyone gets a chance to share and feel heard. Therapy groups vary by clinic, so look up the clinics closest to you to learn more about which groups are available in your area.
Group therapy can offer a space for:
- Feeling seen and understood by others with similar experiences
- Practicing new therapy skills or communication exercises
- Gaining new perspectives from others in the group
- Find a place where you belong and can feel like yourself, no matter what you’re going through
Couples Therapy
Providers trained in couples therapy are skilled at helping partners improve their communication and work together to resolve their relationship concerns. Whether there’s a breach in trust, a parenting difference, or simply a desire to deepen their bond, couples therapy is a safe, designated place to be open and get support. The therapist may meet with you both separately and together to better understand you and your unique situation.
Some of the benefits of couples therapy include:
- A safe, judgement-free space to resolve conflict with objective support
- Tools for improving communication and deepening intimacy
- A designated time to build understanding and empathy with each other
Family Therapy
Family therapy can help families work through strained relationships, a communication problem, or help support the family when one member is dealing with a medical or mental health concern. Therapists who specialize in families and children are trained to help each member feel seen and supported, then learn how to best work within the system to ensure each person’s needs are met.
Family therapy can be helpful in situations such as:
- Helping each family member during a divorce or other relationship issues
- Coping with a big life change, like a move, job loss, or incarceration
- Dealing with grief after the loss of a loved one
- Helping the whole family cope with a member’s chronic illness
- Teaching the family the best way to support a child’s neurodivergence, mental health concern, or behavioral condition
Treatment for Children & Adolescents
We understand how challenging it can be to find quality mental health care for children and adolescents. Our clinicians who work with children are experienced at providing evidence-based treatment tailored to each young person’s needs, including play therapy, talk therapy, and medication management when appropriate.
Specialized clinicians who work with children can help with concerns such as:
- Helping them process and find healthy ways to cope with a mental health concern such as anxiety or depression
- Dealing with behavioral issues, anger management, or defiant behavior
- Adjusting to a loss in the family, a divorce, or a big move
- Coping with and healing from bullying, low self-esteem, stress, or trauma
Men's Mental Health
Sometimes, stigma or thinking they should “have it all together” can keep men from getting the care they need. Learning to bury any negative feelings can make it difficult to even know when there’s a problem. However, feeling socially disconnected, more on edge, like you can’t focus, or you’re noticing physical signs like sleeping or eating changes, it’s likely time to seek support.
We believe men deserve the same level of care and support as anyone else, and do what we can to support men’s mental health through therapy, medication, and other services as necessary.
Women's Mental Health
Whether you’re dealing with day-to-day concerns and stressors, a mental health condition like depression or anxiety, or feel symptoms related to changing hormones, you deserve personalized support.
Many of our providers are specifically trained in perinatal and postpartum care, menopausal concerns, and PMDD, ensuring that all elements of your health are considered when finding appropriate treatments. This could lead to new insights in therapy, or working with your psychiatric prescriber to ensure your medication is aligned with your unique body chemistry.
LGBTQIA+ Mental Health
You deserve to feel cared for and supported, and that you shouldn’t have to take time explaining your lifestyle, gender, or other facets of your identity to your care provider. As trust is one of the biggest indicators of success in mental health care, our clinics go out of their way to employ clinicians with expertise, specialized training, and lived experience to best support our LGBTQIA+ neighbors.
