Rebecca LaDue

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston

Finding the right addiction therapist in Boston starts with understanding the type of support you're looking for. Addiction and substance use concerns vary widely — from alcohol or drug use to behavioral patterns — and different providers bring different areas of expertise. Some therapists focus on approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, while others specialize in co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression alongside substance use. A provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if their approach matches what you need.

Boston is home to a large number of licensed mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone located in a specific neighborhood like Back Bay or Cambridge, or a therapist with experience in a particular type of addiction. Reading detailed provider profiles and booking a free phone consultation can help you feel confident before committing to ongoing care.

Addiction counseling in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
