You don't have to figure that out on your own.
A good therapist match isn't just about finding someone who treats anxiety or burnout. The relationship matters too. We'll consider what you want help with, your preferences, availability, location, insurance needs, and the kind of therapeutic style you're most likely to connect with.
Our therapists have different specialties, training, personalities, and approaches, while sharing MK Wellness Collective's commitment to practical, compassionate, evidence-based care.

Yes. Some MK Wellness Collective therapists accept insurance, although accepted plans can vary by therapist, state, and availability.
When you reach out, let us know which insurance plan you have. We can help you determine whether a therapist who may be a good fit participates with your plan. Your specific coverage, copay, deductible, and other out-of-pocket costs are determined by your insurance benefits.
Private-pay and out of network therapy is available if you prefer not to use insurance or your plan isn't accepted.
CONTACT US ABOUT INSURANCE → -
The cost of therapy depends on the therapist you work with, whether you're using insurance, and your individual insurance benefits.
If you're using an accepted insurance plan, your out-of-pocket cost may include a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Because every plan is different, we recommend confirming your behavioral health benefits directly with your insurance company.
Private-pay options are also available. We'll review applicable fees with you before your first appointment so you know what to expect before starting therapy.
Private Pay/Out of Network Rates:
Megan: $200 intake/ $175 ongoing
Ali: $160 intake/ $150 ongoing
Kristen: $160 intake/ $150 ongoing
WHAT DOES THERAPY AT MK WELLNESS COLLECTIVE LOOK LIKE?
Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical to actually work.
Therapy at MK Wellness Collective is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. You don’t need to show up knowing exactly what to talk about or have the “right” goals figured out. Your therapist will help you understand what’s keeping you stuck, build tools that actually fit your life, and create changes that last outside the therapy room.
Because therapy is virtual, you can meet with your therapist from a private, comfortable space without adding another commute or appointment location to your already-full schedule.
Most clients begin with weekly or every-other-week therapy sessions. How often you meet depends on what you're working through, your goals, your schedule, and the level of support that makes sense for you.
Your therapist will talk with you about session frequency when you get started and adjust it over time as your needs change. There isn't one schedule that works for everyone.
How often will I go to therapy?
Completely normal. You don't need to walk into therapy with an agenda, perfectly explain what's wrong, or know exactly where to start.
Your therapist can help you slow things down, notice patterns, and make sense of what has been feeling overwhelming, stuck, or just...off. Some sessions may focus on what's happening right now. Others may explore patterns, relationships, past experiences, or what your nervous system has been trying to tell you.
“I don't even know where to start” is a perfectly acceptable place to start.
What if I don't know what to talk about in therapy?
There's no predetermined finish line for therapy. Some people come to therapy to work through a specific challenge, while others want support with patterns that have been building for years.
We'll regularly check in about what's changing, what's helping, what still feels stuck, and what you want from therapy moving forward. The goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever. It's to help you build greater self-understanding, regulation, confidence, and tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
How long will I need therapy?
Online therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes and are available to clients located in Massachusetts at the time of their appointment. Depending on your clinician’s licensure, you may be able to be physically located in another state as well.
MK Wellness Collective provides online therapy for women and adults throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Virtual therapy makes it easier to get consistent mental health support without adding a commute, waiting room, or another place you need to be to an already-full schedule.
Our therapists support clients navigating anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, burnout, mental load, perfectionism, chronic stress, motherhood and maternal mental health concerns, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, and other experiences that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.
Online therapy allows you to meet securely with your therapist from a private location within the state where your therapist is licensed. For many clients, that means accessing therapy from home, a private office, or another space where they can comfortably talk.
Therapy from wherever you actually feel comfortable.

For many mental health concerns, research supports teletherapy as an effective option for care. Whether online therapy is the right fit for you depends on your needs, preferences, privacy, and the type of support you're looking for.
At MK Wellness Collective, virtual sessions aren't meant to feel like a watered-down version of therapy. Your therapist can still help you explore patterns, develop practical coping strategies, work with thoughts and emotions, and use approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, attachment-informed care, and other evidence-based methods when appropriate.
If you're unsure whether virtual therapy makes sense for what you're experiencing, a free consultation is a good place to start.
-
You can attend online therapy from a private location where you feel comfortable speaking openly and where your therapist is licensed to practice.
Many clients attend from home or a private office. Wherever you choose, you'll want a reliable internet connection and enough privacy to have a confidential conversation without frequent interruptions.
At the time of your appointment, you must be physically located in a state where your therapist is licensed. MK Wellness Collective currently provides virtual therapy in Massachusetts, and also serves other New England states depending on your clinician.
-
We know schedules change. If you need to cancel or reschedule a therapy session, contact your therapist as soon as possible using the communication method provided to you.
MK Wellness Collective maintains a cancellation and no-show policy because appointment times are reserved specifically for each client. You'll receive information about the current cancellation policy, including any applicable fees, as part of the intake and informed-consent process before beginning therapy.
If you know your schedule tends to change frequently, talk with your therapist about finding an appointment time that is more sustainable.
WHAT WE HELP WITH
THERAPY FOR ANXIETY, BURNOUT AND CHRONIC STRESS
Most people don’t come to therapy with one perfectly defined problem. Anxiety can exist alongside burnout. Perfectionism can keep you over-functioning long after you’re exhausted. The mental load of work, relationships, parenting, and being the person everyone relies on can make it hard to remember what it feels like to actually be off.
At MK Wellness Collective, we provide online therapy for women and adults in Massachusetts (as well as New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Texas) who are ready to understand what’s underneath the overwhelm, not just get better at pushing through it.
You don’t have to fit neatly into one box.
-
For the overthinking, worst-case scenarios, high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and constant feeling that you should be doing something. Anxiety therapy can help you quiet the mental noise, understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and feel more present in your actual life.
-
For when you’re exhausted but still getting everything done. Burnout and mental load can look like irritability, resentment, emotional exhaustion, difficulty resting, feeling touched out, or constantly keeping track of what everyone else needs.
Therapy can help you step out of chronic over-functioning, build boundaries that actually work, and stop carrying quite so much alone.
-
For military members, veterans, first responders, and others navigating chronic stress, cumulative trauma, hypervigilance, difficult experiences, or the pressure to keep functioning no matter what.
Therapy offers a confidential space to process what you’ve carried, understand how stress and trauma are showing up outside of work, and develop tools that make sense for the realities of your life.
Not sure which one sounds like you? That’s completely fine. You don’t need to diagnose yourself before starting therapy.
GOOD TO KNOW
INSURANCE, PRIVACY AND THERAPY POLICIES
A few practical things worth knowing.
Insurance coverage varies depending on your therapist, location, and individual health plan. Before starting therapy, we’ll help clarify whether your therapist participates with your insurance and review any applicable private-pay fees.
Your copay, coinsurance, deductible, and other out-of-pocket costs are determined by your specific insurance benefits.
INSURANCE + PAYMENT
What you share in therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions required by law or necessary for safety. Your therapist will review confidentiality, privacy practices, and the limits of confidentiality with you before beginning therapy.
Virtual sessions are provided through a secure telehealth platform so you can access therapy privately from an appropriate location in Massachusetts.
CONFIDENTIALITY + PRIVACY
Your therapist will explain how to contact them for scheduling and other non-urgent communication between sessions.
MK Wellness Collective is an outpatient therapy practice and does not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are experiencing an immediate or life-threatening emergency, seek immediate emergency assistance via 911 or call/text 988.
