Finding therapy that fits into daily life matters, especially in a city as fast-paced as Boston. People seek mental health support for many reasons, and those needs often change over time. Northeast Health Services (NEHS) offers therapy in Boston that is flexible, evidence-based, and connected to the neighborhoods it serves.
With in-person locations across the city and telehealth options available, NEHS provides therapy that adapts to different schedules, preferences, and mental health needs.
What therapy looks like in everyday life
Therapy is a structured form of mental health care built around conversation, reflection, and practical tools. Sessions focus on patterns, reactions, and experiences that influence mental health, rather than a single moment or issue.
People often use therapy to work through:
- Emotional stress or ongoing pressure
- Changes in mood, motivation, or focus
- Relationship or family concerns
- Life transitions, loss, or uncertainty
- Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and more
Therapy can evolve over time. Goals shift, sessions change focus, and care adapts as circumstances do.
Mental health care rooted in Boston neighborhoods
Northeast Health Services is a mental health provider serving Boston and the surrounding areas. Care is designed to feel accessible, local, and responsive to the needs of the community.
Where to find NEHS therapy in Boston
NEHS offers in-person therapy at several locations across the city:
Clients may also choose telehealth sessions, either as their primary way to receive therapy or alongside in-person care.
Who you’ll work with
Therapy at NEHS is provided primarily by therapists, including:
- Licensed and unlicensed mental health counselors
- Independent clinical social workers
- Clinical psychologists
This range of backgrounds allows therapy to remain flexible and individualized rather than limited to one approach or perspective.
Therapy options designed to fit different needs
NEHS offers several therapy formats so clients can engage in care in ways that feel appropriate for them.
One-on-one therapy
Individual therapy focuses on the client’s goals and experiences. Sessions may address concerns such as stress, anxiety, mood changes, emotional regulation, or personal growth, among others. The pace and focus adjust as needs change.
Shared and relationship-focused therapy
Additional therapy options are available at select locations, including:
- Group therapy, which offers shared perspective and support
- Family therapy, focused on communication and relationships
- Other formats, such as couples-focused work, depending on availability
These options allow therapy to reflect the social and relational aspects of mental health.
How therapists at NEHS approach care
Therapists at NEHS use a range of evidence-based approaches rather than relying on a single method. Care is selected based on the person, not just the concern.
Approaches may include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance-based and skills-focused approaches
- Other therapeutic methods tailored to individual needs
CBT and DBT are highly effective for many people, but they are not the only approaches used.
Flexible therapy through telehealth
Telehealth is an important part of how NEHS delivers therapy in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. Virtual sessions offer flexibility while maintaining the same structure and quality of care as in-person visits.
Clients may:
- Use telehealth as their primary therapy format
- Combine virtual and in-person sessions
- Adjust formats over time as schedules or needs change
This flexibility helps therapy remain accessible without changing the nature of care.
What clients often take away from therapy
Therapy supports mental health in practical, individualized ways. Over time, clients may notice:
- Greater awareness of emotional patterns
- Stronger coping strategies
- Improved communication and boundaries
- More confidence navigating challenges, among other outcomes
At a community level, accessible therapy supports mental wellness across Boston by reducing barriers to ongoing mental health care.
