I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

Mike Smukler

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My path into this work started with film. What drew me was people in their real moments, the hard ones, the ones that matter. In 2004 I volunteered on a suicide hotline, and I didn't want to capture those moments anymore. I wanted to help people find their way through them. That's still what I'm here for.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience across private practice, outpatient care, community mental health, and interdisciplinary teams. I've also held supervisory and leadership roles, mostly with clinicians early in their careers.

I work with adults of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, managing anxiety, anger, overthinking, and life transitions. My approach draws on ACT, CBT, and mindfulness based practices, shaped by Taoist philosophy, Zen Buddhism, and existential psychology. I pay close attention, I don't push, and I say what I notice.

Sessions are available via telehealth, Tuesday through Saturday, across Massachusetts.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Massachusetts

Searching for therapists in Massachusetts starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across the state, options can vary between urban areas, suburban communities, and more rural regions, so it helps to focus your search early. You may want a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapeutic approach, and bio to see whether their training and style align with what you want from care.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live near Boston, Worcester, or Springfield, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts. Consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.

The cost of therapy in Massachusetts can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, may take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Browse therapists in Massachusetts, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
