For Students
Due to limited time and availability, Counseling Services utilizes a brief treatment approach. Many students choose to seek therapists or other care providers outside of Emerson for ongoing support. The Counseling Services staff is happy to help you find a provider who fits your needs.
Counseling Services has partnered with MiResource to build a curated list of mental health clinicians, psychiatrists, and dietitians in the Boston area. You can search for a provider based on various criteria such as insurance, location, speciality, and therapeutic need.
Other helpful databases to search include:
- Psychology Today
- HelloAlma
- Innopsych (Search for therapists of color)
- Zen Care
The following steps may also help you get started:
- Call Counseling Services at 617-824-8666 x2 to discuss referrals with a clinician on the phone or in person. Please request a Case Management Triage appointment.
- Students enrolled in the Emerson BCBSMA health insurance plan can call 1-888-389-7764 or visit https://member.bluecrossma.com to find in-network providers.
- Call your insurance provider (number on the back of your card) and ask for more information about behavioral health care coverage.
- Visit your health insurance website to search for behavioral/mental health care providers in the area.
