Tired of reading the same cookie cutter bio? I'll keep it short:
I graduated from UPenn 10+ yrs ago w/ a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death.
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 25 years and hold two Master’s degrees as well as a PhD in Neuropsychology. I provide psychotherapy for individuals across the lifespan and specialize in the treatment of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
I also work with individuals who are navigating major life stressors such as divorce, career transitions, and other significant changes. In addition, I help clients address concerns related to anger management, chronic stress, and the psychological impact of health issues.
My goal is to support clients in developing effective coping strategies, gaining insight, and making meaningful changes that improve their overall well-being and quality of life.
Dr. Annet Kabuusu Mukasa is committed to empowering individuals on their journey to mental wellness by providing compassionate, judgment-free care. Clients need a provider who truly listens, understands, and integrates both evidence-based practices and holistic wellness into their care plan & desire a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to heal and grow & don’t want to feel alone in their struggles; they need a provider who will walk alongside them with empathy and expertise.

I am not specialized for any populations at this time and provide a general but effective approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Boston
Finding postpartum therapists in Boston starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also search for a prenatal depression therapist or perinatal therapists who work with mental health concerns during pregnancy and after birth. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to address. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Boston has many therapists across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain, which can make the search feel broad even when options are nearby. For new parents, practical details matter: appointment times, virtual availability, location, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Virtual care can make it easier to meet from home around infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy-related concerns, and the way they structure sessions before you book.
Therapy in Boston can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists, review real-time availability, and book care directly. You can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review therapist profiles, and book a free phone consultation when you’re ready.
