In-Home Therapy for Families in Massachusetts
When a child is struggling emotionally or behaviorally, getting them to an office can feel like one more obstacle on an already difficult road. In-home therapy removes that barrier entirely. At Northeast Family Services, our therapists come directly to your home, bringing professional mental health support into the space where your family feels most comfortable.

Insurance accepted
Same-week availability
We have been serving families across Massachusetts since 2003. Our in-home therapy services are designed for children, teens, and families who need flexible, accessible care that fits into real life.
- What Is In-Home Therapy?
In-home therapy is a mental health service where a therapist comes to your home to provide individual or family counseling. Sessions take place in your living room, at your kitchen table, or wherever your family feels most at ease.
Because the therapist sees your child in their natural environment, they gain a much deeper understanding of what your family is navigating day to day. That context leads to more meaningful and effective care.
In-home therapy is especially well suited for children and teens who experience anxiety about leaving home, families where transportation is a challenge, and situations where behavioral issues show up most clearly in the home setting.
How In-Home Therapy Works at Northeast Family Services
Getting started is straightforward. You complete a request form, and a member of our team follows up with you to discuss your needs and next steps. From there, we match your family with a therapist who is the right fit for your child and your family's situation.
Your therapist will build an individualized treatment plan around your child specifically. It is not a template. It reflects what your child is going through and what your family needs, and it gets updated as things change over time.
We offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments because we know your schedule does not stop for therapy. If you are not sure what times are available right now, reach out and our team will let you know what we can accommodate.
Once you submit your request, Northeast Family Services reaches out to you directly to confirm it was received and to get the process moving. You will not be left wondering what happens next.
Who Is In-Home Therapy For?
In-home therapy through Northeast Family Services is a good fit for families who are dealing with a range of emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Some of the most common reasons families reach out include children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional outbursts that are affecting daily life, families navigating behavioral challenges at home or in school, young people who have experienced trauma and need consistent trusted support, and families who want to be active participants in the therapeutic process rather than just observers.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you call us. If you are not sure whether in-home therapy is the right fit, our team can help you think through your options.
In-Home Therapy and Massachusetts Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI)
Massachusetts families who receive MassHealth coverage may have access to in-home therapy through the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative, commonly known as Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI). This program supports children and young people with emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs through home and community-based services.
If you are unfamiliar with Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) or are not sure whether your family qualifies, our team can help walk you through the process. We work with families at all stages of understanding, including those who are hearing about this program for the very first time.
