How Our Programs Support You
Day Treatment Program
Our most structured outpatient level of care. Day Treatment 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.
Program components
Group and individual therapy woven into every day
Psychiatric services delivered inside the program
CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care
In-person at our Norwood campus or via telehealth
Structured Outpatient Program
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 Day Treatment or stepping up from session-based therapy that isn't enough on its own.
Program components
Group and individual work at a lower daily intensity
Same psychiatric services and modalities as Day Treatment
Designed to fit alongside part-time work or phased return
In-person or via telehealth
Standard Outpatient
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 Day Treatment or Structured Outpatient first.
Program components
Short, time-limited transition phase
Reinforces coping and regulation skills
Supports handoff to a community outpatient provider
Available to clients who've completed a structured program with us
Therapies & Skills We May Use
CBT for health anxiety & rumination
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.
DBT skills for distress tolerance & emotion regulation
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.
EMDR for medical/procedural trauma (as clinically appropriate)
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.
Sleep & pain coping, pacing, and mindfulness
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.
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:
- Aligns with your treatment schedule while respecting side effects.
- Reflects medication considerations and medical safety.
- Supports communication, what to ask, how to summarize symptoms, and how to advocate for needs.
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
