Services

Please reach out to schedule a consultation or intake.

  • I have experience working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Panic, OCD, Body Image and Self Esteem, Depression, Divorce, Family Conflict, Dementia and Caregiver support, Geriatric Mental Health, Grief, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma and PTSD, Gender and Sexual Identity issues and stressors, and Women's Health Issues.

  • I offer in-home therapy for seniors within the Boston area where it is more difficult to access my office (for example, if you live in an Assisted Living setting and don’t have access to a car). Please reach out about availability.

  • I provide supervision and consultation to pre-licensed social workers at a sliding scale rate.

    I also provide consultation to family members navigating end-of-life care and Dementia support.

Due to licensing restrictions, you must be located in the state of Massachusetts to receive telehealth services.

Booking through this website is not for urgent medical needs. If you are having suicidal thoughts or need emergency medical attention, please dial 911. If you need immediate mental health crisis support for yourself or a loved one, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. If you are an existing client or have questions, please call my office directly.

Insurance

Psychotherapy

Individual Therapy: I reserve some sliding scale spots, so please reach out for more information. I offer significantly reduced rates for social work graduate students.

INSURANCE

When using insurance, there are a lot of factors that determine what co-pay or portion of services you may be responsible for if any. While members are responsible to confirm their benefits prior to beginning therapy, navigating insurance can be very overwhelming and confusing and not accessible. Please reach out if you have any questions about your insurance and if you need assistance verifying your coverage.

  • Medicare (I only take some advantage plans, please reach out for more information)

  • BCBS

  • MassHealth/Medicaid Plans:

    • Tufts Public Plans: Tufts Health Direct, Tufts Health One Care, and Tufts Health Together

  • Optum Plans (United Health & Mass General Brigham)

Important Questions to Ask your Insurance Company:

Is this provider (Leah Sherman-Collins, LICSW. NPI #: 123-587-7127) in-network with my health insurance?

What is my in-network deductible for outpatient mental health visits? How much of my deductible has been met?

What is my copay for outpatient mental health visits? Is this coverage applicable before or after I meet my deductible?

Is there a limit on sessions your plan will cover per year? If Yes, How many? Does my policy cover 53+ minute sessions? If yes, how many?

What is the policy year (i.e. Jan 1 – Dec 31)?

Does your plan require pre-authorization for psychotherapy?
