What our patients have to say

Olga
I recently completed a therapy session with Anastasia and I am extremely grateful for the experience. She was compassionate, understanding, and created a safe space for me to openly express my thoughts and emotions. Anastasia provided valuable insights and guidance, helping me gain a deeper understanding of myself and my challenges. The session allowed me to explore my feelings in a non-judgmental environment and provided me with practical tools to cope with my difficulties. I left the session feeling supported, empowered, and with a renewed sense of hope. I highly recommend therapy to anyone seeking personal growth and emotional well-being. Thank you to my therapist for her professionalism and dedication to helping others.
Caroline
Dr. Maria Chi is someone whose clinical guidance I deeply trust and respect. She has been a colleague for many years and I have always admired her therapeutic skill, range, and sensitive attunement to client needs. She is also a genuinely warm, kind person — qualities that are immediately felt by those around her, facilitating the kind of emotional safety needed for truly impactful clinical work. I have referred many clients to her over the years and have learned a lot from her in my own psychotherapy practice.
Andrea
I finished my treatment with Maria Chi and I really enjoyed it and I’m grateful for her time. Maria was always kind, always listened and always validated my feelings. Even when she differed with me, she was kind and patient when showing me where I was wrong. She also provided useful resources and links whenever I needed help, including legal resources and even meet up groups to help my situation. Maria created a safe, peaceful environment where I found someone who listened, gave me advice, and helped me find the skills I needed to feel better. I would recommend her 100% and I’m glad she was my therapist :)
Morgan
They're the best -- especially Aaron. While he's not currently seeing new clients, he is a therapist first and a business owner second. I appreciate everything Aaron and the team do to ensure each interaction is friendly, communicative, and supportive. BETA's focus on professionalism, empathy, and patient-centered care comes from the top down -- from Aaron -- and it's apparent in each aspect of the work that BETA does. Everything Boston Evening Therapy Does is patient-focused, not profit-focused-- which is refreshing compared with the big "therapy" conglomerates. BETA wants to see its clients well and give them tools to achieve mental wellness as independent, autonomous people without the need for daily check-ins and text message relationships. They're the real deal. Though I'm not currently in therapy, BETA would be my no. 1 choice should I choose to pick up where I left off.
Yvonne
The process that BETA has in place make it easy to get started with treatment. I was able to decide who I wanted to work with from the therapists that had availability and expertise in the type of treatment I was looking for. I’ve been in and out of therapy for a good part of my life and this has been the best place by far. I strongly recommend BETA!
Alie
I worked with Maria virtually for about 6 months and I cannot recommend her enough! She was warm, empathetic, and a great listener. I felt like she really took the time to understand my experiences and to offer me relevant coping skills and new ways to see situations. I greatly appreciate all of the work she did with me.
Anika
Karen is the most incredible therapist and person. She has helped me work through deep lows to become a calm, confident version of myself. I could not recommend her more highly. I wish everyone had a version of this Karen in their lives!
Roland
I've know Aaron for over 35 years. His dedication to providing patients with the highest level of care is his life's mission. Over the years I've consulted with Aaron on many sensitive and difficult issues. He has always shown me great compassion and humor (perhaps the best medicine). I've learned to better accept my challenges and control them rather than have them control me and effect those I love.I highly recommend Aaron as a wonderful resource. He's been invaluable to my mental health.
Brogan
Rebecca Zuehlke is a lifesaver. Compassionate, kind, and responsive, Rebecca saw me quickly when I first reached out to Boston Evening Therapy and has gone above and beyond since then to ensure I have a safe space to share my experiences and, most importantly, grow from them. I'm learning a lot about myself and finally found a therapist that I feel like actually listens to and understands me. I would highly recommend Boston Evening Therapy and Rebecca to anyone going through a stressful or challenging situation. It is always tough seeing the bill for one session of therapy, but that's everywhere. Here, I feel like that money is well spent and I am investing in a better future for myself. Well worth your time and your money!
Rachel
Annie Olinick is warm, compassionate, and very easy to talk to. As a colleague of hers, I have seen what a difference in people's lives she has made, using creative and thoughtful therapeutic methods that align with her clients' needs in the moment. Whether you are looking for help with depression, anxiety, life transitions, your relationship, or are looking for support with prenatal/postnatal issues, Annie can help support you each step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer therapy at our Brookline, MA office and convenient online counseling anywhere in Massachusetts. Many clients choose teletherapy for flexibility, while others prefer in-person sessions — both are effective and tailored to your needs.

Do you accept insurance for therapy?

Yes, we accept most major private insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Optum, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, and UnitedHealthcare. We do not accept MassHealth or Medicare. If you have questions about coverage, our intake team will help you understand your benefits.

How long does therapy usually take?

Therapy is unique to each person. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (6–12 sessions) focused on a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term support. Building trust and making meaningful progress often takes time, and your therapist will work with you to create a plan that fits your goals.

What can I do outside of therapy to support my mental health?

Therapy works best alongside healthy habits. Prioritize sleep, get daily sunlight, move your body, and practice mindfulness or meditation. Positive social connections, optimism, and self-compassion also build resilience and strengthen the progress you make in sessions.

What if I can’t commit to long-term therapy?

If ongoing therapy isn’t the right fit, we also offer ONE+IMPACT Coaching — a single-session, solution-focused coaching option. Coaching is not therapy, but it can be done on its own or alongside therapy to give you practical strategies, clarity, and momentum.

How do I choose the right therapist for me?

The best therapist is one you feel comfortable with. At Boston Evening Therapy Associates, we’ll match you with a clinician whose specialty and style fit your needs. You can also request someone with experience in areas like anxiety, trauma, depression, or relationships.

What types of therapy do you offer?

Our team provides a wide range of therapy approaches, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, couples counseling, and more. This allows us to tailor treatment to your specific challenges and goals.

Do you offer therapy for children, teens, and families?

Yes. In addition to adult therapy, we provide counseling for children, adolescents, and families. Many parents seek support for child behavioral issues, teen anxiety or depression, and improving family communication.

Can I see a therapist without insurance?

Yes. We offer private pay options for clients without insurance or those who prefer not to use it. Some therapists may also provide sliding scale fees depending on availability.

How do I get started with therapy at Boston Evening Therapy Associates?

Getting started is simple: call us at (617) 738-1480 or fill out our online contact form. Our intake team will answer your questions, check insurance, and match you with the right therapist so you can begin your first session quickly.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person counseling for many issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Many clients appreciate the convenience and privacy of teletherapy sessions.

What conditions or concerns can therapy help with?

Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, life transitions, and more. Our clinicians specialize in many areas and can support you in finding healthier ways to cope and grow.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?

Your first session is an opportunity to share your story and goals. Your therapist will ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, you’ll create a plan for moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.
Still have questions? If you’re unsure about therapy, coaching, or how to get started, feel free to call us at (617) 738-1480 or email info@bostoneveningtherapy.com anytime — we’re here to help.
