PaxThera offers a variety of therapeutic approaches designed to meet each client's unique needs, aiming to support both emotional well-being and personal growth. Approaches include but are not limited to:: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure therapy,   and mindfulness therapy.

In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, PaxThera is committed to supporting clients in achieving personal growth beyond traditional therapy. Whether enhancing resilience, improving interpersonal relationships, pursuing professional development, or better aligning your life with your values, PaxThera provides a comprehensive approach that aligns therapeutic work with clients' broader lives, values, and ambitions. We work with clients to integrate therapy with proactive goal-setting so clients can cultivate the skills, insights, and confidence needed to achieve fulfillment in all areas of life.

No, PaxThera is an entirely virtual practice. All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, allowing you to access care from the comfort of your home anywhere in Massachusetts.

Our hours are flexible and based on client needs and clinician availability. To find a time that works for you, please fill out our inquiry form and include your general availability. We'll get in touch to let you know if we have openings that match.

PaxThera is a private pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. However, clients can request partial reimbursement for their sessions through their insurance out-of-network benefits.

To simplify the reimbursement process, PaxThera offers two options to help you make the most of your out-of-network benefits.

You can choose to submit claims yourself using an easy-to-use platform that guides you through the process—no need to navigate insurance paperwork alone. Or, if you prefer, we can submit claims on your behalf, allowing you to pay a reduced amount up front while we handle the rest directly with your insurance.

Both options are designed to reduce stress, save time, and help you get reimbursed more easily.

The initial intake session is $250. All standard follow-up sessions are $200. PaxThera offers sliding scale rates based on financial need—please contact us for more information.

EMDR sessions are offered at a higher rate to reflect the extended session time and the focused nature of trauma processing work. These sessions allow for deeper, uninterrupted progress and are available in the following formats:

• 60-minute EMDR session: $250

• 75-minute EMDR session: $300

• 90-minute EMDR session: $350

Therapy intensives are also available for individuals seeking more focused, in-depth work over a longer period of time. Please contact us directly to learn more and inquire about pricing.

The duration of therapy can vary depending on individual goals, needs, and the pace at which progress is made. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and while the clinician plays a key role in providing guidance, support, and helping to identify goals, the client’s active engagement is essential for healing and personal growth. The more you invest in the process—by practicing new strategies, reflecting on experiences, or taking steps toward your goals—the more likely you will see progress.

We are here to work alongside you, offering encouragement during difficult moments and celebrating your successes along the way. We believe therapy is a partnership, and we’ll be there to help navigate the ups and downs, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure your journey is as effective and meaningful as possible. Whether your therapy is a short-term or a longer-term process, we are dedicated to walking with you every step of the way and ensuring you have the support you need to achieve your goals.
