What Does Our Program Entail?
Group Therapy
Group therapy works with small groups of like-minded peers and focuses on education and skills development. Topics might include “How to manage depression” or “Building healthy habits to improve anxiety.” Our curriculum utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions that are evidence-based.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is one-on-one time with your therapist to work jointly on your challenges and potential solutions.
Medication Management
Our psychiatric team prioritizes a holistic approach to mental health, incorporating medication when it would add meaningful value to your care. We work closely with you to prescribe and adjust medications in a personalized manner.
Family Support Counseling
Sometimes it helps to incorporate family and friends in the recovery journey. Our team will work with you to identify your support system and how they can contribute to your healing.
Connection to Resources
An Overstory team member will work with you to identify areas in your personal life where you need hands-on support, whether that be hobbies, housing, food security, career and job planning, and more. Furthermore, Overstory Health will ensure continuity of care by making necessary referrals post discharge and collaborating with any current or new providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll verify your insurance benefits for you and explain any out-of-pocket costs before you start. Many of our patients who are on MassHealth have a copay as low as $0.
Most patients can begin within the same week. After a quick consultation and insurance check, you’ll be matched with a therapist and can schedule your first group session right away.
We offer two ways to participate in our program: virtual sessions or in-person appointments. You’ll choose the format that works best for you and continue with that option throughout treatment. Virtual sessions let you connect privately from home, while in-person care provides face-to-face support at our clinic. Our goal is to make starting trauma therapy as convenient and accessible as possible.
Our licensed clinicians use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other methods proven to help reduce symptoms and support long-term healing.
That’s okay. Many people aren’t sure when they first reach out. Our team offers a confidential consultation where we’ll listen to your needs, answer your questions, and help you decide the best next step.
