Frequently asked questions
Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Massachusetts
Finding the right therapist in Massachusetts starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Massachusetts-licensed therapists include LMHCs, LICSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists who provide talk therapy, while psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe and manage medication.
With thousands of providers across the state — from Boston and Cambridge to Worcester, Springfield, and Cape Cod — narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most: a provider's specialty, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Massachusetts can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
