Behavioral Healthcare for Women in Massachusetts

Aurora

Healing & Recovery

A space created specifically for women's needs in mental health & dual-diagnosis treatment.

AURORA Was Created By Women, For Women.

A space built on safety, trust, and respect, where healing can actually begin.

Too often, women are asked to heal in environments that don’t fully understand what they’ve been through. Aurora was built to change that.

This is a place where women can reconnect with themselves, feel supported, and begin again, on their own terms.

Aurora for Women was founded by women in recovery who understand the unique needs of women struggling with mental health and co-occurring disorders in Massachusetts.

Our programs at Aurora are rooted in trauma-informed approaches and a respect-centered philosophy that prioritizes autonomy when seeking treatment.

Accessible & Affordable Care for Women in Massachusetts

Our Approach

We believe healing happens when women finally feel safe.

Healing looks different for every woman, and it should. At Aurora, we honor each woman’s story with empathy, respect, and real understanding. This isn’t about fitting into a system. It’s about creating space for women to come back to themselves and begin again.

The Women Behind Aurora For Women

We were founded on the single idea that women thrive with the love and support of other women.

Andrea Stanford and Róisín Mulkerrins built Aurora from both lived experience and years of working with women in behavioral health. They saw what happens when care feels impersonal, disconnected, and out of reach.

Aurora is their response. A place where women are met with real understanding, and supported as whole people in the process of healing.

Women's Mental Health Conditions We Treat

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, or just a feeling you can’t quite explain… You belong here.

At Aurora, we don’t believe a diagnosis tells the whole story.

Labels can be helpful, but they rarely explain what someone has been carrying, what they’ve lived through, or what’s contributing to how they feel today.

That’s why our approach focuses on the deeper patterns beneath the surface, not just symptom management. Because when women feel understood as whole people, real healing becomes possible.
