Stress Therapy and Treatment in Boston and across Massachusetts
You feel like you’re drowning in a sea of stress. It seems like you can never catch a break. Maybe you’re exhausted all the time and tired of living this way. You can't take this anymore. You’re at every one’s beck and call, the caretaker, the planner, and the one everyone runs to.
You can’t remember the last time you were generally happy. Perhaps you feel lost and resentful. You feel like nothing you do makes a difference or is appreciated. You take care of yourself last, and no one seems to care. Everything is overwhelming, and you feel stuck and desperate for change.
Why is this happening to me?
Stress is our body’s reaction to a change that requires an adjustment or response. People go to therapy for different reasons, and one of those reasons is because of stress. Stress is a normal and natural part of life. Stress can impact our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health due to adverse and highly demanding circumstances.
The right amount of stress can motivate you to set goals and achieve them. However, too much stress can be exhausting and debilitating. Stress affects your interest and motivation level. High stress can make it challenging to meet constant demands to the point of procrastinating and taking longer to get things done. Stress can spill over into every area of your life, and prolonged stress can lead to burnout.
Stress is either good or bad for the body. Each person has a different stress tolerance. Stress may contribute to physical illnesses and mental illnesses such as depression. On the other hand, physical illnesses and mental illnesses may contribute to stress. Grief can also impact the stress level.

The therapeutic relationship is a core element of your progress, and it is important for you and your therapist to meet weekly. I’ve found that clients who are invested in their goals and are ready to commit to weekly sessions can establish a relationship with their therapist and progress better. If progress is made, you and I can discuss the next steps toward your treatment goals, and how to move forward to biweekly sessions or terminate therapy. Stress should not rule anyone’s life. You deserve to feel fulfilled. Begin counseling for stress management at Comfort Counseling Center through compassionate online therapy in Houston TX and Boston MA.
If suicidal thoughts are present, call 911 immediately or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room if you are worried about yourself or a loved one taking their own life.

I encourage you to contact your insurance to find out exactly what they are willing to cover.

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.
