Getting to know Kierstyn Mao
Hello! I am Kierstyn Mao, a licensed mental health counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University. I utilize arts modalities to promote embodiment and work through trauma at a somatic level. My primary method of care involves using creative directives in sessions. I strive to help clients build their toolbox and incorporate cognitive therapies such as CBT and ACT to better understand their diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with both youth and adults in community mental health. My goal is to provide an inclusive and anti-oppressive experience that puts the client in control of their treatment. I use a collaborative and eclectic approach to address themes of relational trauma, depression, identity, self-esteem, and anxiety. If you thrive with transparency and structured directives, we could be a great therapeutic fit.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of- network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
