Getting started

One door to all of it.

You don't have to know what kind of care you need. Therapy, medication, help for kids and teens, couples work: it all starts with one form. Fill it out, and we match you with the right clinician.

One form to start.

It takes a few minutes. You don't need a referral or a diagnosis.

One team.

One plan.

Your therapist and prescriber work from the same plan.

The space

It looks like a gallery. It works like a medical practice.

A restored home on Cherry Street. Real art, lots of light, and calm rooms.

Waiting area at 51 Cherry Street with citron pillows and the staircase — The waiting roomJust inside the green door. A seat in the sun.

A therapy room seen through open french doors, with a leather chair beneath an abstract painting — The therapy roomsWhite walls, real art, a quiet chair.

Consult room with white Eames chairs and colorful abstract art — The consult roomTime to talk, and room for real questions.

Before you talk yourself out of it

“Is it even bad enough?” “I don't know where to start.” “What if I just get passed around?”

You don't need a diagnosis or the right words. Tell us what's going on in your own words. We take it from there: one team, one plan, and no bouncing between offices.

Our approach

You don't get one clinician. You get a team.

Sometimes therapy alone isn't enough, or you need medication too. Most practices send you somewhere else. Here, your therapist and prescriber share more than a building. They share a plan.

“We built CMHS so clients and clinicians feel supported. Clients get our doctors and nurse practitioners, plus therapists trained in social work, counseling and family therapy. Everyone works together in one practice. Our clinicians have colleagues down the hall, not phone tag with an outside office. Everyone does better that way.”
Christopher Albino, LPC — Founder & Practice Director

Physician-led care

A team you'd actually refer your family to.

Doctors lead our care, and our psychiatrists work here. They are not on call or hired from outside. Therapists, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners work side by side. Every clinician is verified on Psychology Today.
