Individual Therapy Massachusetts | Finding Clarity Starts With One Conversation
Individual therapy Massachusetts patients rely on is one-on-one, confidential support built around your specific circumstances, not a generic script. Whether anxiety is keeping you up at night, grief hasn’t loosened its grip, or you simply feel stuck, this kind of one-on-one therapy gives you dedicated time each week to work through it with a licensed clinician. At Massachusetts Psychiatry, every session is delivered virtually, so care fits into your life instead of asking you to rearrange it.
What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy is a private, one-on-one relationship between you and a clinician, focused entirely on your goals, history, and pace. There’s no group dynamic to manage and no agenda but your own.
Your Story Sets the Agenda
Sessions are shaped by what’s actually happening in your life this week, not a fixed curriculum.
Evidence-Based Methods
Approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and trauma-responsive strategies are drawn on as needed, never applied by default.
A Confidential Space
What’s said in session stays there, protected by the same confidentiality standards as any clinical relationship.

How Is Individual Therapy Different From Other Mental Health Services?
Each service plays a different role. None is universally better, the right fit depends on your situation.
| Approach | Primary Goal | Key Benefit | Limitation | Best Candidate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Therapy Alone | Build coping skills and insight | Addresses triggers, routines, and relationships | May not fully manage severe mood episodes | Milder or well-managed symptoms |
| Medication Alone | Stabilize mood biologically | Can reduce frequency and intensity of episodes | Does not address behavior patterns or coping skills | Those needing rapid symptom control |
| Combined Treatment | Stability plus long-term skill building | Most evidence-based approach for lasting stability | Requires ongoing engagement with both modalities | Most patients with moderate to severe symptoms |
For most people, combined treatment, therapy paired with medication management, is considered the most effective path when clinically appropriate, since it addresses both the biological and behavioral sides of bipolar disorder.

Dr. Sophia L. Maurasse, MD
Dr. Maurasse specializes in working with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Her approach centers on helping patients build a balance between their vulnerabilities and their strengths, using therapy and medication as tools rather than quick fixes. She views psychiatry differently from other areas of medicine: it treats what’s invisible, carries real stigma, and can quietly limit a person’s functioning and potential. Her goal in every session is to help patients navigate their world with more steadiness, and to spend less time in treatment and more time living.
