Stephanie Wissig is everything I didn't know that I needed in a therapist, until I met her. I can't thank her enough for everything that she has done for me. She has changed the way that I look at life. I have seen many therapists in my life. Stephanie is the first person to make me laugh and cry all in the same session. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone in the most caring way possible. She always has my best interest in mind. I would not be able to accomplish any of the tasks that I have if it were not for her. Stephanie understands the importance of listening to her client and, more impressively, when to interject her thoughts. I don't always agree with what she is saying at that exact moment but, I always come back to the idea a day or two later to think about it more. Her suggestions are thought provoking. They challenge you to face a problem head on in ways that you would never have imagined to do before. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is great at getting back to you as quickly as possible when you send her a message or leave her a voicemail. I could go on and on and on about how amazing she is. I am so happy that I found her. Thank you Stephanie!!! read more

I tried to contact the supervisor over three times and did not get a call back. I worked with this Stephanie Wissig for over a year. I ended the relationship because of repeated boundary issues. She shared personal details about her husband, her son, her insecurities, and her travel plans while I clearly did not care. These disclosures did not support my treatment. Ethical guidelines from APA and NASW state that self disclosure should stay limited and serve the client. She also brought up her age often. She spoke about feeling older in a way that made me feel guilty for being younger, showing me her belly fat after pregnancy, which I could not relate to (I'm 28). This was not my role to manage. Therapists are expected to keep their personal insecurities separate from client work. I raised concerns during treatment. I asked her to stop laughing at my jokes after I fired her. She listened but continued. She made a joke about my shoplifting. I told her I did not find it funny. This was not respectful of my request or my history, especially when admitting and deal with something I could get criminally charged with. Almost as if she was inhibiting my behavior. She often spoke to me like a friend instead of a licensed professional. I needed structure and focus on my goals. Instead, I got casual interactions that made it hard to trust the process. I fired her for a second time after these issues continued. My experience shows a pattern of weak boundaries and poor respect for client feedback. I want other clients to know this before starting treatment. read more

The BBM program has been an excellent counseling program for me over these last 2-3 years. My most recent counselor, Taylor Phillips, was thoughtful, supportive and understanding of my life challenges and mental health needs. I completely endorse this office for anyone in the Boston area. In addition, the office accepts MassHealth which - as someone between full time jobs - has been quite helpful. read more

I went to Boston Behavioral for over a year and whenever I knew someone who was considering counseling I always suggested them. I went to see two very different counselors there but each one was kind, objective, provided lots of ideas and advice, and helped me become a better person. The office is intimate and each counselor really gets to know you and the world you live in. read more

I went here to learn biofeedback for chronic pain though you could also use it for reducing anxiety. This is something this office specializes in and they have excellent equipment and instruction to show you how use biofeedback, which is basically meditating to change your body's physiological responses to stress like muscle tension, fast heart rate, etc. I feel like it has really helped me cope with my pain and I highly recommend them. The best part is that this is covered by most insurance that covers basic mental health outpatient visits. read more

I was so excited to find Boston Behavioral Medicine; I had been looking for a holistic/behavioral therapist and was glad to find so many in one place. To make an appointment you leave a message on the general mailbox (there isn't a receptionist to take calls) and someone calls you back to match you with an appropriate therapist. The therapist called me back a few days later to schedule the actual appointment. So far so good. Except, on the day of the appointment, the therapist never showed up. Since there is no receptionist, you just wait in the waiting room until your therapist comes to get you. All the other 3:00 patients were picked up by their therapists until I was sitting alone. At 3:25 I called and left a message on the general mailbox stating (nicely) the possibility that we had a miscommunication about the scheduled meeting, and that I would like to speak to the therapist about rescheduling. It's now two weeks later and I never heard back from the therapist, the woman who matches you to a therapist, or anyone else at BBM. I have several friends who are therapists and they were all horrified to hear that not only did this woman miss her appointment, but there was no follow-up after that. Thankfully I don't have abandonment issues. Back to the drawing board. read more
