Psychotherapy in Cambridge, MA
Thoughtful, compassionate therapy for mood disorders, psychosis, and complex life experiences.

I'm John Maier, a licensed independent clinical social worker with a background in both philosophy and psychotherapy. My style is collaborative, grounded, and respectful. I aim to offer a space where your experience is taken seriously—without judgment or quick fixes.

I don’t reduce people to symptoms or treatment plans—I listen deeply, and we go from there.

About Therapy

  • I charge $175 per 60 minute session.

  • I am not “in-network” with any insurance panels. However, if you have insurance that includes “out-of-network” benefits, I can provide an itemized invoice to submit for reimbursement.

  • All appointments are currently held via telehealth, via a secure HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.

  • Please contact me about current availability.
