CHD has been a leader in behavioral health services in our community for more than 50 years. Now, you can receive counseling and therapy from a licensed, highly trained clinician in your home or virtually any suitable location with Where You Are, our new remote mental-health support network.

Here’s how it works: Just call 1-844-CHD-HELP and have your insurance card handy. We will set up an appointment for you to connect with a therapist on your computer or mobile device—securely and compliant with all privacy guidelines. Video and audio-only appointments are available, and we even have urgent-care appointments available for people who would benefit from immediate support.

Whether it’s family or marital stress, parenting challenges, anxiety or depression, substance-use concerns or any number of other mental-health challenges, we are here for you. As we always have been.

Telehealth is now a covered benefit in Massachusetts. Most private insurance are accepted as well as MassHealth and Medicare.
