What Is It

Asteroid Health is a local mental health treatment provider based in Newton, Massachusetts, USA (address: 2364 Washington St). It positions itself as a provider of trauma-informed, client-centered mental health care with the slogan "Reaching for the stars in mental health treatment". This is an in-person clinic, not an online service platform.

Core Services

The provider offers multi-level care plans tailored to different levels of need severity:

• Psychiatric Day Treatment: For clients requiring more intensive care, this full-day program runs 10am–4pm and includes group therapy and case management, with two specialized tracks: "General Mental Health" and "Youth Anxiety".
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): A half-day treatment (10am–1pm) suitable for clients needing more support than individual therapy alone provides.
• Outpatient Individual Therapy: Flexible one-on-one counseling.
• Medication management and chronic illness support groups.
• Transportation support: A distinct, standout service where the team assists MassHealth users with applying for PT-1 to ensure transportation barriers do not prevent access to care.

Pricing

The website does not publish specific pricing details. Costs are primarily covered by insurance (including MassHealth), either fully or partially; Single Case Agreements are available for out-of-network care. Actual costs must be confirmed via phone call (857-297-9700) and will be finalized after an intake assessment.

Pros and Cons

Pros include a clearly tiered care model spanning a continuous spectrum from day treatment to outpatient care, plus practical, convenient transportation assistance. The provider’s core philosophy emphasizes empathy and personalized care. Cons are geographically limited in-person service areas, no stated telehealth treatment options, and completely non-transparent pricing that requires individual phone inquiries.

Who Is It For

It is only suitable for residents of Newton, MA and surrounding areas experiencing mental health challenges such as anxiety or depression who wish to access in-person professional treatment covered by insurance.

Access for Users in China

The website is directly accessible, but as a local U.S. in-person medical service, it has no practical value for users in China.
