Therapy in Boston by the numbers
Based on 2748 licensed therapists across the US, including 11 in Boston · Updated July 2026
Therapists and counselors near you in Boston, MA: where to start
FindSupport lists 11 licensed therapists in Boston. Start with what you need help with — a profile's focus areas tell you more than its address. Psychologist, counselor or therapist: in Boston, as anywhere in Massachusetts, the title follows the license, and each profile names it.
Common reasons people in Boston reach out include academic pressure, student mental health, and perfectionism, alongside anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. None of the 11 Boston profiles shows a public email address, so first contact goes through the details each profile gives. The same goes for the 33 listed elsewhere in Massachusetts so far.
In Boston, therapists typically charge $130–$260 per session. Many take insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees — it's fine to ask about cost in your first message.
Choosing between an office visit and a video session
So far, the 11 Boston profiles describe office sessions; none mentions video. For video, ask the therapist directly.
In Massachusetts as a whole, video comes up on 1 of 44 profiles, with Cambridge 1 of 28. If you're dealing with academic pressure, student mental health, and perfectionism, either format can work.
Start with the problem, not the postcode: FindSupport shortlists therapists both local in Boston and online across Massachusetts.
What the Boston listings show about focus areas
The 11 profiles listed in Boston don't carry enough specialty tags yet to sum up by focus area, so read each therapist's own description of what they work on.
Child, couples and family work is rarely flagged on Boston profiles so far, so mention who the sessions are for in your first message. For comparison, 4% of the 28 Cambridge listings mention couples.
Boston is a world-renowned academic and medical hub, and the 11 listings here are a starting point rather than the whole local field.
Fees, cost cover and other Massachusetts cities
A month of weekly sessions in Boston at $130–$260 each is $520–$1,040 if you pay yourself.
