When you love someone who might need support.
Bringing someone's name to our door is already an act of care. Below are two ways to help, depending on where that person is in their own readiness to reach out.
WHEN THEY MIGHT BE OPEN TO IT
Share Inspira with them, in your own words.
If your loved one is open to the idea of therapy, sometimes the gentlest first step is a short message from you. Use the template below as a starting point, adjust it however feels natural, and send it by text, WhatsApp, or email.

Por qué Inspira · Why Refer to Inspira
A practice your referrals
will actually stick with.
Too many mental health referrals go cold because of waitlists, language barriers, or
insurance walls. Inspira was built to remove those walls, so your patients and loved
ones actually get to their first session.
Bilingual care across every
service
Our team of fifteen clinicians delivers therapy and medication management in English and Spanish, with select services in Portuguese for the Brazilian community. Patients never have to translate their own symptoms or explain their culture before getting help.
No waitlist · Sessions within one to two weeks
While most Massachusetts practices have month-long waitlists, Inspira delivers a first session within one to two weeks of referral. Urgent cases can often be seen sooner when flagged through our intake team.
MassHealth, sliding scale, and major insurance
We accept MassHealth and major Massachusetts insurance plans, and offer a sliding scale for clients without coverage. Cost rarely becomes the reason a referral does not follow through.

For Clinical Referrers
Continuidad del cuidado · Continuity of Care
Your referral is not
the end of the conversation.
If this is your first time using insurance for therapy, these are the questions worth asking before your first session. Our billing team can help you interpret the answers if anything is unclear.
Consent-driven communication
No patient information is shared without written authorization. Once consent is on file, we can confirm appointment status, share treatment plan summaries, and coordinate on clinical decisions.
Collaboration with PCPs and specialists
Medication management and perinatal mental health benefit most from multi-provider coordination. Our clinicians are accessible for case consultation by phone or encrypted email.
First appointment confirmation
With patient consent, we notify referring providers when the first
session is scheduled, so you know the referral has not gone cold on our end.
El próximo paso · The Next Step
Every referral is someone's
chance at feeling understood.
Your referral means more than you think, whether you are a provider, a community partner, or just someone who loves them. We will take care of it from here on out.
