About —
Massachusetts Psychiatry
Meet Dr. Sophia
I’m Dr. Sophia L. Maurasse, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in both general and child & adolescent psychiatry. For over a decade, I’ve dedicated my work to helping individuals and families in Massachusetts navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and hope.
My Approach
Every person has a story that deserves to be heard and understood. I begin with thoughtful diagnostic evaluations and develop treatment plans tailored to each individual. Treatment may include therapy alone, medication, or a careful integration of both. I also emphasize lifestyle factors—sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and overall well-being—because mental health is deeply connected to how we live day to day.
My Clinical Style
My clinical style is grounded in curiosity, empathy, and collaboration. I invite patients to approach treatment as a partnership, where your values, goals, and strengths guide the work we do together. I often draw on evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and collaborative problem solving.
Who I treat
I see people ages 12–65. Typical concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma-related problems, mood disorders, and complex or multi-diagnostic presentations that have disrupted school, work, or relationships. I also consult with community clinicians and medical providers when a specialist perspective or second opinion is helpful.
Clinical Interests & Expertise
My practice emphasizes trauma-responsive care, DBT-informed interventions, and mindfulness. I have a longstanding interest in working with medically ill patients whose physical health and psychiatric symptoms interact, and I’m experienced in treating complex adolescent presentations, borderline personality disorder, self-injury, and severe mood dysregulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What happens at the first visit?
The first appointment is a thorough intake. We review your symptoms, treatment and medical history, and safety. Together, we develop a clear plan—therapy, medication, both, or referral—based on your needs and goals.
Will I need medication?
Medication is offered when clinically appropriate. Many patients do best with a combined approach of therapy plus medication; sometimes medication helps reduce symptoms so therapy can be more effective. I always discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives before prescribing.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not bill most insurance plans directly. I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact the office for payment and fee details.
What if I’m not sure whether I need therapy, medication, or both?
That’s completely normal. During our initial evaluation, I’ll help clarify the approach most beneficial for you.
How long does treatment usually take?
Treatment length depends on your goals. Some notice meaningful changes in weeks; others benefit from months of work for deeper, lasting growth. We set measurable goals and review progress regularly.
