Depression Treatment in Boston and across Massachusetts
It seems like you’re tied down by invisible chains, lifeless and unfulfilled. You’re feeling empty, hopeless, and disconnected. Perhaps like you’re facing a spiritual battle and life feels like an emotional agony. You feel like you’ve become a shell of the person you used to be.
You feel empty on the inside. Feeling hopeless and helpless is overwhelming. It’s like you are in a life-long sentence, suffering in silence. Faking a smile and pretending to be okay is frustrating. You experience decreased performance at work because you can’t focus. Depression has sapped the life out of your relationships. When you’re around loved ones, you feel disconnected and trapped by depression.
You might even find that you are experiencing changes in your appetite and sleep. It’s like you've given up and no longer care. It feels like a battle caring for yourself, neglecting household chores, and avoiding fun have become a cycle. It's paralyzing feeling completely numb, fatigued, and isolated. Trying to break the cycle of depression feels like a chore. Then there is the worry of being black, a Christian, and seeking therapy. With everything going on, you wish you could feel better and find meaning in life.

Depression can be complicated and unpredictable. It is a psychological, biological, and spiritual illness. More than 16 million Americans report having had a depressive episode at least once in their lives according to the National Alliance On Mental Illness.

In Network (Insurance-Pay)
I do not take health insurance. I can provide you with a receipt (superbill) upon request for you to submit to your health insurance for Out of Network reimbursement. The amount you will be reimbursed will depend on your health insurance policy.
If you do call your insurance to discuss coverage, be prepared to ask the following questions:
Do I have mental health or behavioral health out-of-network benefits for outpatient settings?
What is my deductible? Has it been met?
How many mental health sessions does my plan cover annually?
Do you cover telehealth or have any stipulations on it?
How do I obtain reimbursement for an out-of-network mental health provider?
What will the coverage amount be per session?
Please Note: Comfort Counseling Center cannot guarantee that your insurance plan will cover sessions.
The Benefits of Having a Private Practice Therapist
I offer highly specialized support in specific areas, and I’m dedicated to providing personalized, in-depth support as a private practice therapist. This means I work with a limited number of clients, allowing me to fully invest in each individual’s therapeutic journey.
By managing a small number of clients, I avoid burnout and devote 100% of my energy to the individuals I work with. My approach is designed to give you my undivided attention, free from the restrictions and timelines that often accompany insurance coverage.
Insurance companies typically determine coverage based on what they consider medically necessary, often placing limits on the number of sessions and requiring adherence to regulations more suited to physical health. Insurance companies take control of your healing journey and has limiting privacy.
Therapy, however, is a private, intimate journey meant to remain confidential. These limitations don’t align with the collaborative and personalized nature of therapy. When you work with me, your therapy experience is not confined by timelines, diagnoses, or labels.
I prioritize providing an exceptional level of care for each client I work with. During our sessions, you have my complete attention—no rushing, no distractions. I keep track of the important details in your life, like the people who matter and special dates.
This personalized approach is possible because I intentionally limit my caseload, allowing me to focus on each client without the pressure of juggling dozens of appointments. I simply cannot support and encourage you to live intentionally while neglecting my own health.
My choice to remain out-of-network with insurance providers is intentional. I believe in the value of therapy and I am committed to fostering meaningful connections with the amazing people I serve. By focusing on quality over quantity, I can help create healthier communities, nourish intimate relationships, and support your healing—while staying true to my values.
In short, I do not accept insurance, as this allows me to provide the focused, uninterrupted care that my clients deserve.
