Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


I earned my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) before moving to Boston to start my career in bedside nursing in 2019. After serving as an RN and Director of Nursing at a residential treatment center, I earned my PMHNP at Regis College to specialize in mental health. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience providing cutting-edge ketamine therapy in outpatient clinics and managing complex cases in inpatient psychiatry. Now, I’m bringing that clinical expertise—along with post-graduate training in CBT—to my full-time private practice, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD and ADHD in the South Boston area.

Rebecca LaDue

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Arlington

Searching for addiction therapists in Arlington starts with finding care that fits the specific concern you want support with. Addiction care can include substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and the mental health concerns that may come with them, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction frameworks, or coordinate with a prescriber when medication support is part of a person’s care plan.

In a smaller city like Arlington, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. Recovery can also change over time, which makes fit especially important. Consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental addiction support. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about recovery, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and what to expect in sessions before you book.

Addiction therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
