Boston has a mad abundance of resources. But I'll give you a link that helped me find my therapist because I'm sure there is one on there closer to you

Diane Ellaborn in Framingham is great.  She's worked w/ a ton of trans patients and has a lot of resources.  Also she called me back the day after I called and scheduled an appointment only like 2 weeks from then.  Def recommend her

around $150 but w/ insurance I just pay a $20 co pay.  I went to the united health care website and searched her and she showed up so I'm assuming that means she takes it.  you can call her (she's on the link Davis posted) and ask to make sure though

Fenway Health (http://www.fenwayhealth.org/site/PageServer?pagename=FCHC_srv_services_trans) is worth checking out.
They are right in Boston.

Here's the link to my therapist's site www.affirmativecounseling.net (http://www.affirmativecounseling.net). My therapist is Sara, and she's wicked awesome. She has alot of experience with FTMs. Sessions are 50 bucks and she also does counseling via telephone. But check out that site for more info. Also, idk if ther other lady on the site is still practicing with her.
