2 Bay Rd, Hadley, MA 01035

We are located at the Hadley Crossing cluster of professional offices, which includes two Advance Psychotherapy Practice locations: the RSTI office at 2 Bay Road and the general practice at 4 Bay Road.
The RSTI Office at 2 Bay Road is located in the furthest building to the left when facing the building clusters (i.e. approaching from the parking lot). 
When you arrive you may park anywhere in the parking lot. Enter through the building doors and the office will be to your immediate left with a sign that says RSTI.

The Relationship & Sex Therapy Institute (RSTI) is proud to offer new specialized services. We’ve assembled an excellent cohort of therapists dedicated to evidence-based care for individuals, couples, and diverse relationship constellations. We understand that sex, intimacy, and relationships can be central to well-being—and we’re here to help you navigate with skill and sensitivity. Our team honors the richness of human diversity and is committed to providing thoughtful, inclusive, and affirming therapy across a broad spectrum of identities and experiences.

RSTI therapists offer individual, non relationship therapy as well!

RSTI is offering an Out of Control Sexual Behavior Therapy Group this Fall for for men and masculine-identified people. This group will guide you to create a vision for sexual health and offer you support and accountability to maintain that vision.

Extended Relationship & Family Therapy Sessions

Sometimes 60 minutes isn’t enough. Extended sessions give couples and families more time to work through complex concerns, have important conversations, and engage more deeply in the therapeutic process.
You may extend a standard 60-minute session to a 90-minute session for an additional cost of $85.

Extended sessions are available to clients who pay privately or use commercial insurance for their standard session. Due to insurance requirements, this option is not available to clients with Medicare or MassHealth.

When scheduling, please let your therapist know that you would like a 90-minute session.
