Women's Mental Health Collective Since 1970 the Women's Mental Health Collective has been providing psychotherapy to a broad community of people in the Somerville, Cambridge, and greater Boston, Massachusetts area. We see psychotherapy as a relationship in which exploration of one's inner life and interpersonal world can take place, creating possibilities for self acceptance and change. We are aware that we have been shaped and constrained by a society in which some groups have more power than others. At the same time, we believe that people have the capacity for growth and connectedness, and that therapy can help people find more effective and satisfying ways of living.
