Mental Health Matters

( Confidential & Quick )

Free Mental Health Self Assessment

This free self-assessment is designed to help you identify common symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress. It is not a diagnosis but may help you decide whether speaking with a licensed therapist could be helpful.

How This Mental Health Check Works

This short questionnaire asks about common mental health experiences such as:

    Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless

    Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

    Sleep changes

    Anxiety or nervousness

    Difficulty concentrating

    Your responses help identify patterns that may indicate emotional distress. The assessment takes approximately 2-3 minutes to complete.




    Is This a Diagnosis?

    No. This self-assessment is a screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. Only a licensed mental health professional can provide a formal evaluation. If your results indicate elevated symptoms, we may recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our licensed therapists in Massachusetts. A full evaluation will involve a clinical interview and, if appropriate, a personalized treatment plan.

    Who Should Take This Assessment?

    This screening may be helpful if you are:

    • Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally stuck
    • Experiencing persistent sadness or anxiety
    • Having difficulty sleeping
    • Noticing changes in focus or motivation
    • Unsure whether therapy is right for you

    The assessment is also useful for those who simply want a baseline check on their mental health — similar to checking blood pressure for physical health.

    It is completely free, anonymous in use (though we ask for contact information to return results and resources), and available at any time.

    Your Privacy

    Your information, such as your name, email, and phone is kept confidential and used only to help connect you with appropriate mental health resource. 

    Understanding Your Results & Next Steps

    After completing the questionnaire, you will receive one of three general result categories: minimal, mild-to-moderate, or moderate-to-severe symptoms. These categories are based on standardized, validated screening tools such as the PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety.

    1

    Minimal symptoms

    Your responses suggest low levels of distress. You may benefit from self-care strategies, regular check-ins, or preventive resources.

    2

    Mild-to-moderate symptoms

    This range often indicates that talk therapy, support groups, or lifestyle adjustments could be helpful. We can help you explore low-cost options.

    3

    Moderate-to-severe symptoms

    Your responses suggest significant emotional distress. We strongly recommend speaking with a licensed mental health professional within the next two weeks.

    Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate for Follow-Up Care

    If you decide to schedule therapy based on your screening results, federal law (the No Surprises Act) protects you from unexpected medical bills. As a patient who is uninsured or choosing not to use insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of all expected charges before your first appointment.

    This estimate will include the cost per therapy session, the anticipated number of sessions over a 12-month period, and any additional fees (e.g., for assessments or reports). If you receive a final bill that is at least $400 more than the estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge. Keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

    When to Seek Immediate Help
