Sometimes children are referred to our groups but might not be “group ready” just yet. We prioritize the safety of our group members and unfortunately are not able to work with kids in groups who struggle to keep themselves or others safe. Additionally, our groups are the best fit for kids who can participate in settings with 5 other kids without one-on-one support. Kids also need to be able to follow basic directions (staying in the room, safety related requests). We sometimes recommend that children participate in individual therapy first to work on some skills required for group participation. We are happy to provide individual therapy in this case (*subject to waitlist) or work with another provider to collaborate around group readiness.

An intake is required prior to joining a group. This is so we can get to know your child, understand their goals and determine which group will be the best fit. Once the intake is complete and there is a group that is a good fit, you will be welcome to join. Groups are 50-minutes long and meet weekly. While we don’t require a commitment for any specific amount of time, we do ask for regular attendance so that both your child and the group can benefit from consistency. We bill for groups weekly and allow up to 4 absences throughout the school year with 48-hours notice. Same day cancelations (early) for sicknesses count towards absences. Beyond the allotted number of absences, we do charge a partial fee.

Child Therapy Boston is a private pay therapy practice and does not accept any health insurance. All services are strictly out-of-pocket and full payment is required at the time of service. We will provide a monthly statement showing services and payments that can be used to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage if you like.

Parents are welcome to use Health Savings Accounts or Flex Spending Accounts for payment. If you have questions regarding your out of network coverage, please be sure to call your insurance company as it varies between all plans.

If you have questions about our fees and services, please feel free to reach out any time.
