Cambridge Psychology Group

What Cambridge Psychology Group does

Cambridge Psychology Group is a private, multi-specialty mental health practice founded in 2020 and headquartered in Arlington, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Cambridge and Concord. The practice delivers evidence-based therapy — primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — to adults, adolescents, children, and couples across the greater Boston area and via telehealth to clients in Connecticut, Vermont, and Florida. Its team comprises approximately 26 licensed psychologists, social workers, and postdoctoral fellows, many with training affiliations at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Boston University's Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders.

The practice's product surface spans individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy ($100-$125 per session self-pay), behavioral sleep medicine including CBT-I, behavioral medicine including Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and the specialized child/adolescent BRAVE Crew Programs (group, summer experience at $750-$2,000, and intensive formats). The proprietary Intensive CBT Program is a 2-week accelerated offering delivering 17 hours of 1-on-1 therapy with senior clinicians for adults with anxiety and OCD. The practice also runs a monthly continuing education webinar series for mental health professionals that serves as both a referral channel and a modest revenue stream.

Cambridge Psychology Group operates on a fee-for-service, out-of-network self-pay model in which clients pay at time of service and submit claims to their insurance for potential reimbursement; the practice does not maintain in-network contracts. Go-to-market is community- and sales-led, combining direct intake consultations, professional referrals, content marketing via blog and social channels, Psychology Today listings, earned media coverage, and the CE training program. Ownership is private and founder-led by Steve Marshall, PhD, with no disclosed external investors, parent entities, or acquisition activity.
