If you've ever felt like you're moving through life a little out of sync with yourself, like something is pulling you off course and you can't quite name it, you're not alone. And you're in the right place.
I'm a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Psychiatric Advanced Practice Clinical Nurse Specialist, and my approach to care is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe that true healing happens when we tend to the whole person, your mind, your body, and your spirit, and that you already hold a lot of the wisdom you need. My job is to help you access it.
I am a licensed mental health counselor, and in recent years, my practice has evolved to focus on the issues of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I treat clients of all ages, but my special interest in working with individuals in highly stressful work\school environments.
As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.
If you are feeling lost, confused, and unhappy with the direction life is going, let's work together to address what is holding you back. "Finding My Potential" is something you are seeking; then let's work on ways to cope with challenging thoughts, identify skills you can use to move forward, look holistically at habits/lifestyle, and develop a road map that gets you on the path you were meant for. It is important to note that this approach is based on a treatment session connected to techniques and actions you will do between sessions. I look forward to working with you.
I have a broad background in therapy, having managed and worked as a therapist in a variety of services. As an individual therapist, I have done the most work with teenagers, children, and young adults. I have provided individual counseling to adults, families, and couples. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, with a commitment to outcomes.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Patricia Mathison, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for growth.

My areas of specialization include anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, mood disorders, self-esteem, or relationship issues. I often draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

The mind-body connection is an important aspect of the approach I take with clients. I am also trained to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Additionally, I’m a facilitator of Gender Equity and Reconciliation, so it informs my work with couples and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with adult individual clients and couples who experience anxiety, depression, adult and childhood trauma, relationship conflict/transitions, and mid-life transitions.
Over the years, I have worked with folks of all ages and from all walks of life. What they all have in common is the desire to feel connected to others and feel that life is enriching, not depleting. If you are feeling depleted, for any number of reasons, I am here to support you and help you find what you need to be connected and enriched.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Boston
Finding ADHD therapists in Boston starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists specializing in ADHD may help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, planning, attention, and emotional regulation. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Some people look for one type of support, and others work with both a therapist and a prescriber. It also helps to look for experience with adult ADHD, child or teen ADHD, ADHD testing, or related concerns like anxiety, depression, and work or school stress.
Boston has many mental health care options, from downtown offices to practices near Cambridge, Brookline, and other nearby neighborhoods, which can make the search broader than expected. Your best match may depend on appointment availability, commute or transit access, and whether you prefer in-person sessions or virtual appointments. Since anxiety and depression can often come up alongside ADHD, look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with those concerns as well. Reading bios can help you compare therapy style, specialties, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Therapy in Boston 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
