Frequently Asked Questions

We know you may have questions before getting started, and we want to make it easy to find answers. Here are some of the things people ask us most often.

What is Acceptance Committment Therapy (ACT)? >

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of Cognitive‑Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that differs from traditional CBT in its focus. Rather than primarily trying to reduce or eliminate unwanted thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations (like obsessions or anxiety), ACT emphasizes changing the way we relate to these internal experiences.

What is Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)?>

ERP is a specific form of Cognitive‑Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and is considered the first‑line psychological treatment for Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

The “exposure” part means you intentionally face the thoughts, images, situations or things that trigger your obsessions. The “response prevention” part means you resist doing the compulsive behaviour (or ritual) you would normally do in reaction to those triggers.

Do you accept insurance? >

We are a self-pay clinic, which means we do not directly take insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit a superbill to seek reimbursement from them, though we cannot guarantee reimbursement.

If you would like to reach out to your insurance company and inquire about out-of-network coverage please reach out to support@newenglandocd.org. We can provide you with the information your insurance company will need to determine if you are eligible for reimbursement.

Additionally, there are laws that prohibit us from accepting clients with MassHealth, Medicaid, and other federally funded programs, with an exception for Medicare.

Do you accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal payment programs? >

Unfortunately, we do not bill Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal payment programs, nor do we accept payments from them. Due to legal regulations, we are unable to provide services to clients who are eligible for these programs.
