Question
I found this mint in Rough Meadows Preserve, Rowley, along a trail close to the salt marsh. I'm guessing it's one of the Water Horehounds, perhaps virginicus?
Answer
Dear chaffeemonell, you have indeed photograph a species of Lycopus (water-horehound). I would need to see a close-up of the flowers/fruits to be able to tell you which species. The leaf blade serrations suggest a member of the Lycopus americanus complex, but (again) I would need a better image to help you further.
