You don’t have to navigate this alone. If a new medical diagnosis has upended your routines, relationships, or sense of self, we’ll meet you with steady, practical care. Our adult programs, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) & Outpatient Program (OP), help you process what’s happening, build skills that fit real life, and feel more like yourself again. Licensed clinicians • Individual and group options • HIPAA-compliant telehealth across Massachusetts
A life-changing diagnosis can affect more than medical decisions. Many people notice:
Caregivers often juggle appointments, insurance, and work while trying to stay strong. It’s common to feel burned out, guilty, or isolated. We offer space to learn practical skills, communicate more clearly, and set boundaries that protect everyone’s energy.
Our most structured outpatient level of care. PHP blends group therapy, individual sessions, and psychiatric services into a full daily schedule — built for adults who need the daily rhythm to stabilize after a hospitalization, during a behavioral health crisis, or when session-based therapy hasn't held.
Programming designed for adults transitioning toward greater independence while still needing consistent clinical support. This is where most of our clients spend the longest stretch of treatment — stepping down from PHP or stepping up from session-based therapy that isn't enough on its own.
A short-term step-down phase after a structured program — focused on reinforcing the skills you built and handing off to your long-term community provider. It isn't an entry point and it isn't ongoing therapy. Admission to our programming goes through PHP or IOP first.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives you a map for noticing thought-symptom loops and testing patterns like reassurance-seeking or catastrophic forecasting. You’ll learn practical experiments, grounding, and values-based actions that move life forward, even while uncertainty exists.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help you ride out spikes in emotion without impulsive reactions or shutting down. Expect tools such as paced breathing, TIP skills, opposite action, and interpersonal effectiveness to improve difficult conversations.
If medical memories, procedures, or complications feel “stuck,” EMDR can help your brain reprocess distressing experiences and reduce reactivity. We’ll only recommend EMDR when it’s a good clinical fit and coordinate timing with your medical treatment plan.
We integrate sleep hygiene, stimulus control, and gentle pain coping strategies with pacing, mindfulness, and body-based regulation to support better rest and function during treatment cycles.
Three simple steps from your first call to your first session — no referral needed.
Call our 24/7 admissions line or send a message. We'll ask about symptoms, safety needs, and your goals, then schedule a comprehensive assessment. Your clinician will recommend the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) & Outpatient Program (OP) based on functioning, risk, and availability, and will explain why.
Grand Rising Behavioral Health is out-of-network for insurance. Many clients with PPO plans use out-of-network benefits; others choose private pay. Our team will verify benefits, estimate costs and deductible implications, and provide documentation to help with reimbursement.
Next step: Get clear cost estimates before you start.
Verify InsuranceWhen clinically appropriate, secure telehealth sessions are available to Massachusetts residents. We'll confirm eligibility, technology needs, and whether your specific program (e.g., the Intensive Outpatient Program) can be offered virtually or in a hybrid format.
We prioritize goals that matter to you — getting back to work or school, steadier moods, better sleep, and relationships that feel supportive again.
Short check-ins during treatment track changes in mood, anxiety, sleep, and daily functioning. Data isn't the whole story; your lived experience guides how we adjust the plan.
Before discharge or step-down, you'll leave with a written plan: the skills that help you most, your early-warning signs, and what to do if symptoms flare again. We can coordinate with outpatient providers to keep care connected.
Care That Coordinates With Your Medical Team
With your consent, we collaborate with oncology/hematology, neurology, cardiology, primary care, and other specialists. That way, your behavioral health plan:
What to bring to your first session: a medication list, names of your providers, upcoming procedure dates, and any releases you’re comfortable signing so we can coordinate effectively.
Virtual Care Across Massachusetts
If travel is difficult, or you’d simply prefer privacy at home, our HIPAA-compliant telehealth brings care to you, anywhere in Massachusetts. Many clients use virtual sessions on treatment days or when energy is low.
Getting set up: choose a quiet space, use headphones for privacy, and test your camera and connection. We’ll share simple tips so your sessions feel comfortable and productive.
Insurance, Costs & Using Out-of-Network Benefits
We’re an out-of-network provider and frequently work with PPO benefits and private pay. We verify your benefits and submit claims on your behalf when applicable. If you prefer, we can also discuss private pay options.
Helpful questions to ask your plan

We help your brain and body de-escalate, make room for feelings, and create simple actions that reintroduce stability, sleep, nutrition, movement, and connection, while you learn tools for uncertainty and medical decision-making.
With your written consent, we can communicate with your other healthcare providers to make sure your behavioural health plan fits with your wider treatment. That might mean sharing progress updates with your primary care provider, aligning appointment schedules, or flagging medication considerations. The goal is to make sure everyone involved in your care is on the same page. How much coordination happens is entirely up to you — we'll only reach out to providers you've authorised.
It can be, depending on your situation. EMDR works well for distressing memories that feel "stuck" — medical procedures, emergency hospital visits, difficult diagnoses, or complications that still trigger strong emotional or physical reactions. Our clinicians will assess whether EMDR is a good clinical fit for you and, if you're in active medical treatment, we'll coordinate timing so it doesn't interfere with your care plan. Not everyone needs EMDR, and we won't recommend it unless it's right for you.
Most people notice some shift within the first few weeks — better sleep, less rumination, a bit more control over anxiety spikes. That said, there's no fixed timeline. It depends on what you're dealing with, how long it's been building, and which level of care you're in. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) services tend to produce faster stabilization because of the intensity. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and the Outpatient Program (OP) work on a longer arc. We'll set realistic goals together and adjust as we go.
In certain cases, caregivers, partners, or family members may be invited to participate in individual sessions when it is clinically appropriate, included in the treatment plan, and authorized by the client. These sessions are coordinated with the client’s assigned clinician and may focus on communication, boundaries, family dynamics, and supporting treatment progress. To protect the privacy and confidentiality of all clients, family members and caregivers do not participate in group therapy sessions.
As an out-of-network provider, we frequently work with PPO plans that offer out-of-network benefits. We verify your coverage and submit claims on your behalf when appropriate. Because coverage varies by plan, our Admissions team will help you understand your benefits and expected costs before you begin.
