MEET YOUR PSYCHIATRIST

A Word From
Dr. Sophia L. Maurasse

Starting psychiatric care is a significant step — and it helps to know who you will be working with before you commit to anything.

Dr. Maurasse is a board-certified psychiatrist with dual specialization in general and child & adolescent psychiatry. She leads Psychiatry Massachusetts as a solo private practice, which means every patient works directly with her — from the very first inquiry through every follow-up visit.

Her clinical approach is thorough, collaborative, and unhurried. She is particularly focused on patients who have tried other avenues of care without finding the clarity or progress they were hoping for — whether that means a diagnosis that does not quite fit, a medication plan that needs a second look, a family dynamic stuck in the same conflicts, or simply not knowing where to begin.

“My goal is not to hand you a prescription or a generic recommendation. It is to understand what is actually happening — and to build a plan that fits your life, your history, and your goals.”

— Dr. Sophia L. Maurasse, MD

Care Built for More Than
One Kind of Need

Adults & Young Adults

Anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood instability, attention and executive-function strain, sleep disruption, and stress interfering with daily life.

Adolescents & Families

School stress, emotional dysregulation, trauma, behavioral concerns, difficult transitions, and care that includes both the young person and the family system.

Parents & Caregivers

Coaching that reduces conflict at home, builds more effective communication, and helps caregivers of children, teens, and young adults feel calmer and more effective.

Clinicians

Supervision or second opinion for complex cases, risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning — for clinicians who need expert consultation on challenging cases.

SERVICES

Seven Ways This Practice
Can Help

Whether you need therapy for patterns that keep repeating, a careful review of medications that have not worked, a second opinion before making a major treatment decision, or parent coaching that actually changes the dynamic at home — this practice is designed to meet you where you are and give you a clear path forward.

01

Therapy

Evidence-based, trauma-informed, practical, and collaborative. Sessions address anxiety, low mood, trauma reminders, relationship tension, burnout, and the deeper patterns that keep showing up long after the immediate crisis. Goals include symptom relief, stronger coping, and more stable daily functioning. Typically 45–55 minutes per session.

02

Medication Management

The goal is not more medication — it is the right plan, at the right dose, with the fewest problems. Careful evaluation, shared decisions, and regular monitoring. Covers depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar-spectrum, panic, trauma, sleep, OCD, and side-effect or interaction concerns. Care coordination with your existing therapist is available with your written permission.

03

Second Opinion & Supervision

For patients when diagnoses conflict, medication changes have piled up without meaningful relief, or progress has stalled. For clinicians managing high-risk, diagnostically complex, or emotionally demanding cases. A structured clinical evaluation of history, symptoms, diagnoses, medications, and therapy approach — often one to a few meetings. Optional written summary available. Consultations typically 45–90 minutes, available online.

04

Combined Therapy & Medication

Some people do well with therapy alone. Some with medication. Some need both. Combined care is a whole-person approach that can reduce distress, stabilize mood, improve coping, and support more sustainable progress — especially when symptoms are severe enough to disrupt functioning and when both symptom relief and deeper pattern change matter. One provider handling both sides of treatment.

05

Parent Coaching

Practical, personalized guidance for caregivers stuck in conflict or burnout — not generic parenting advice. Addresses tantrums, ADHD, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, school refusal, homework battles, and repeated escalation cycles. Works with caregivers of children, teens, and young adults. Sessions typically 45–60 minutes, spanning several weeks to months depending on family goals.

06

Telepsychiatry

Secure telepsychiatry reduces commute time, childcare coordination challenges, scheduling strain, and barriers created by limited local provider availability. All services — evaluation, psychotherapy, medication management, and follow-up — are available through virtual care. This is not a convenience add-on. It is a full clinical service delivered securely to your home, office, or anywhere in Massachusetts.

07

Treatment & Resource Assessment Across Massachusetts

If you are not sure whether you need therapy, medication, a referral, or simply a clearer picture — this is the right starting point. Assessment addresses OCD, grief, divorce-related strain, step-parenting challenges, isolation, trauma, and burnout. The result is a usable plan: therapy, medication, combined care, parent coaching, a second opinion, or practical community supports.

TESTIMONIALS

What Patients Have Said

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions Before You Book

It is normal to have reservations before starting psychiatric care. These are the questions patients most commonly ask before their first visit.

The practice is private pay and does not bill most insurance directly. It does provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, which you can submit to your insurer. Specific reimbursement amounts vary by plan and are not specified by the practice — verifying your out-of-network benefits before scheduling is recommended.

Not necessarily. The first visit is a thorough intake focused on understanding what is happening and what has already been tried. The plan may be therapy, medication, both, or referral — depending on your needs. Medications are prescribed thoughtfully and collaboratively, not as a shortcut.

Initial psychiatric evaluations and second-opinion consultations are typically 45–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your history and concerns.

Treatment length depends on your goals. Some people notice meaningful changes in weeks. Others benefit from months of work for deeper and more lasting progress. Therapy sessions are usually 45–55 minutes, and parent coaching sessions are usually 45–60 minutes.

Yes. Secure telepsychiatry is available across Massachusetts. All services — evaluation, therapy, medication management, and follow-up — are available through virtual care. This allows you to access expert psychiatric care without the barriers of commuting or limited local availability.

Yes, when appropriate and with your written permission. The practice states that care coordination is possible with existing providers, and that consultation with clinicians, schools, and other providers is also available.

No. The practice explicitly serves caregivers of children, teens, and young adults — not only young children. Common themes include tantrums, ADHD, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, school refusal, homework battles, and repeated escalation cycles at home.

Yes — that uncertainty is exactly what the treatment and resource assessment service is designed for. If you are not sure where to begin, the practice offers a structured assessment that moves you from confusion to a clear, usable plan. That plan may be therapy, medication, combined care, parent coaching, a second opinion, or a referral to another level of care.
