Case Studies

The highest quality mental health care for Massachusett’s students, families, and school staff—no waitlists

1-1 Evidence-Based Therapy

Students (PK-12) meet virtually with licensed therapists who specialize in supporting young people. Through regular sessions, typically for 10-12 weeks with some students engaging for up to one year, students learn to understand their emotions, develop practical coping skills, and build resilience to handle life's challenges.

Psychiatry & Medication Management

Comprehensive psychiatric support from experienced child psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, including evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care coordination. Treatment plans are tailored to each student's needs with regular monitoring to ensure effectiveness.

Parent Guidance

One-on-one sessions with child mental health experts who provide personalized guidance on supporting a child's wellbeing. Parents will get practical strategies and expert advice for managing specific concerns, from anxiety to school challenges.

Family Therapy

Joint sessions with students and family members focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. They work together with a family specialist to develop solutions that help everyone thrive.
