Therapists in Millis, MA

It takes courage and self awareness to seek support for your stress, and I'm continually honored by the individuals I serve in my practice for their willingness to open up to me. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment that can enhance the process of therapeutic change. All people find themselves "stuck" at times, and through empathy and validation I work to create a path towards hope and healing for my clients.

Often times, life's waves produce times of emotional hardship marked by deep seated feelings of grief, sadness, confusion, depression, worry, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to have the space, support, and safety to address the waves inherent in everyday life without judgment. If you are experiencing a life transition, a break-up, day-to-day parenting and relationship stress, or you are simply being haunted by past events or thoughts that don't seem to budge, therapy can provide an outlet to gain the insight, awareness, and relief you may be seeking.

Hello and welcome! If you would like to learn various stress management techniques for everyday life, curious about the mindfulness practice, or would like a safe space to answer the question, "what does relaxation feel like for me?" to better reduce anxiety symptoms, I am here to help through Stress Management And Resiliency Training (SMART). I typically work with adults who are experiencing situational stressors/life changes, grief, caregiving, PTSD/trauma histories, anxiety/depressive disorders, and those who want to better cope with chronic illness diagnoses (cancer, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, pain, insomnia & more).

I have worked with diverse populations and people of all ages ranging from 4-74 years old while working in community mental health. My clinical experience also includes treating children and adolescents with trauma and severe emotional and behavioral issues at two residential schools. I currently focus on children, teens/adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy working with (and working alongside) athletes, taking a sports psychology approach. I also have a strong history of working well with clients who have not responded/had difficulty engaging in traditional therapy.

Does life stress you out sometimes? Are everyday stressors affecting your happiness, job, or relationship? Sorting out feelings and communicating effectively can be difficult. A therapeutic relationship is a powerful vehicle for change and helpful in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and relationship issues.

I believe an affective therapeutic relationship is a partnership, that laughter can truly be the best medicine, and therapy does not have to be scary. I sincerely find joy in getting to know my clients and collaboratively discovering their unique strengths, challenges, and goals. For the past 8 years, I have been a proud co-founder/owner of Compass Social Skills and Counseling. Collectively, I have been therapeutically working with children, adolescents, adults, and a clinical staff for over 13 years.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. It can be messy, painful, overwhelming, difficult, and downright exhausting. But I believe that change is always possible. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, motivation, adapting to change, or just the stress of day to day living then therapy can help. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, therefore it is important to find a therapist that meets your specific needs. I provide a welcoming and safe environment to help clients define goals, identify strengths, and make positive changes.

***Accepting new clients but no appointments after 3pm or on Saturdays available*** Life's level of crazy just keeps climbing. Even breathing seems difficult right now. Anxiety, worry, stress, fear. So many unknowns and so much uncertainty. Will you homeschool your children or do hybrid learning? Will you work from home, hire a sitter, or will you have to resign? Covid is taking a toll on your marriage, the house is getting smaller every day. Everyone seems to be adapting to this "new normal", except you. I'm here to remind you that fear is contagious, but so is HOPE.

The focus of my practice is with adults, couples and teenagers. The focus of my work with clients include issues of trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I have had many years of experience with traumatized clients as well (sexual and physical abuse). My ideal client is one who is ready to work in therapy--to discover and get to the bottom of it all. My goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where one can open up and begin to deal with inner conflicts and pain.

I enjoy working in person and via telehealth. I am particularly interested in facilitating a compassionate therapeutic environment. I prioritize my client’s health and well-being. I utilize a client-centered approach in all of my techniques. My goal is to work with individuals who need caring treatment. I have been working in the field as a Masters Level Clinician for about five years. I have the LMHC credentials. I have the ATR-P and completed the EMDR training. I have professional experience as an in-home therapist and substance use clinician. I look forward to hearing from you about your mental health needs! Ask about my webinar!

We're the therapists for "kids who don't like therapy." These days - especially - teens are too often suffering and struggling in their homes and in our schools. And everyone could use some help: kids, parents, and the caring professionals in our schools. Throughout the state, our therapists and life coaches serve as "part of the team," helping teens to feel better, and do better. Together, we'll explore and better understand what's been happening, how to change patterns, and how to get better results!

Are there days where you feel like your life is completely unmanageable? Sometimes it feels like if we could just change one thing, or start one thing, then we could finally start living the life we want. This could be a short term goal such as finally organizing your home or longer term goals such as developing self confidence, or starting a weight loss journey. If you can relate to feeling stuck and needing a push to move forward, Bel Lavi Coaching is here for you.

Life can feel overwhelming, whether our distress stems from not getting what we want, or getting exactly what we wanted and yet somehow still feeling unfulfilled. Anxiety, depression, or battling addiction can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness. The process of talking in a therapeutic setting is essential in cultivating self-awareness and obtaining the wisdom to make healthier choices. Each person is unique, and I am committed to finding what works best for every person who seeks my support.

Relational issues are my focus. We are related to our birth families, our marriage or divorce families, our mates, children, peers, coworkers, and to our addictions and habits. My work connects the dots and helps one to see the where and why of the problem and to learn how to address it in a loving, healthy and healing way. Whether the conflict is between partners, parent and child, siblings or addictions, the goal is to mend the relationship and create positive self esteem. I surface the real issue through insightful and penetrating questions to illuminate the path to clarity and resolution.

You are not alone. Life is full of ups and downs, with many challenges. Each transition can bring stress, anxiety, fear, insecurities, and negative emotions. Together we can embark on YOUR journey of self-discovery, by building daily skills around empathy, self compassion building healthy relationships.

Accepting new patients. I am licensed clinical social worker and has been working in the field for over 15 years. Primary work has been with counseling and social work in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, crisis intervention programs, partial hospital program. I have great deal of experience working with children, adolescents and adults with a range of psychiatric disorders, addictions and life circumstances. I am attentive, respectful and empathetic; I try to create a safe, non-judgemental supportive therapeutic environment for my patients.
