Evidence-Based Therapies That Support Real Change in Waltham, MA

Therapy shouldn’t feel like a formula. It should feel like it fits.

At On Call Treatment, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Our approach is personal—because your needs, your history, and your goals are unique. We offer a range of evidence-based therapies to help you build real skills, shift harmful patterns, and reconnect with who you are underneath the struggle.

Whether you’re dealing with mental health symptoms, substance use, or both, our team will tailor your plan with proven methods—and walk with you every step of the way.

Core Therapies We Offer

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Build skills for emotional regulation and stronger relationships.

Originally created for people facing self-harm and emotional dysregulation, DBT offers practical tools for staying grounded and present—even in crisis. It’s especially powerful for those navigating addiction, trauma, or intense emotional swings.

  • Focus areas include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
  • Ideal for managing impulsivity, mood instability, and high-conflict relationships

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Shift unhelpful thought patterns and change your behavior.

CBT helps you spot the link between what you think, how you feel, and how you act. It’s one of the most well-researched therapies available—and for good reason. The insights it brings are often life-changing.

  • Effective for anxiety, depression, addiction, and more
  • A practical, empowering therapy for everyday struggles

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Sort through mixed feelings and find your motivation.

Not sure you’re ready to change? MI gives you the space to explore that honestly. No pressure. No lectures. Just a safe conversation about what you want—and why it matters.

  • Gentle and collaborative
  • Especially helpful early in recovery or when facing transition points

Solution-Focused Therapy

Focus on what works—and start there.

This therapy doesn’t ask you to relive the past. Instead, it’s about building on your strengths to make things better now. One step at a time.

  • Practical, short-term, and goal-oriented
  • Works well for everyday challenges and family dynamics

Reality Therapy

Take responsibility without shame.

Reality therapy invites you to look honestly at your choices—and helps you find better ones. It’s grounded in the belief that we all want to belong, succeed, and feel in control of our lives.

  • Focuses on present-day actions, not past wounds
  • Encourages agency without blame

Mindfulness and Meditation Therapy

Learn to pause, breathe, and respond—rather than react.

Mindfulness isn’t just about staying calm. It’s about showing up for your own life with clarity. These practices help reduce reactivity, improve focus, and strengthen emotional balance.

  • Research-backed for anxiety, depression, and cravings
  • Supports better sleep, lower stress, and emotional steadiness

Family Integration Therapy

Because healing doesn’t happen alone.

When someone is struggling, the whole family feels it. This therapy helps loved ones reconnect, rebuild trust, and create healthier boundaries—together.

  • Includes education, communication tools, and support planning
  • Designed to support long-term family healing

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

A medically supported path through opioid or alcohol recovery.

For some, FDA-approved medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol can ease withdrawal, reduce cravings, and lower the risk of relapse. We use MAT when it’s appropriate—and always alongside therapy and medical supervision.

  • Integrates medication and behavioral support
  • Personalized to your needs and monitored by our clinical team
