About Us

Private-Pay Therapy That Puts You First

PaxThera is a virtual mental health counseling practice offering private-pay, personalized therapy for adults in Boston, across Massachusetts, and globally for expats. We provide high-quality, individualized mental health care that prioritizes your needs—not insurance requirements.

At PaxThera, we've chosen a private-pay model to give you the freedom and flexibility you deserve in therapy. By working outside of insurance networks, we can provide care that is truly customized to your goals without diagnostic labels, session limits, or third-party oversight.

Private pay means:

• No required mental health diagnosis to access support

• Greater confidentiality—your records stay between you and your therapist

• Therapy tailored to you, not to insurance billing codes

• Flexible treatment plans that evolve with your needs, not policy restrictions

Mental health care works best when built around the person, not the paperwork.

Therapy Designed Around You

Whether you're managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, or rebuilding after burnout, PaxThera offers a collaborative, client-centered approach. Every session is shaped around your unique story, values, and aspirations—ensuring your therapy experience supports who you are and where you want to go.

Want to Use Insurance? We Make It Easy

While PaxThera does not bill insurance directly, many of our clients use their out-of-network insurance benefits to get reimbursed for therapy sessions. To make this process stress-free and straightforward, we’ve partnered with Reimbursify, a user-friendly platform that helps you:

• Check your out-of-network benefits ahead of time

• Submit claims quickly through their app or online portal

• Track reimbursements and get support if issues arise

After each session, we’ll provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt), and Reimbursify will guide you through the steps to receive potential reimbursement from your insurance provider.

This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds: the freedom of private-pay therapy and the option to use your insurance benefits when available.
