I'm Hazell, a bilingual first-generation Afro Latina that is really passionate about providing a healing space for those that want to be welcomed as their complete and authentic selves. I recognize that due to oppression, many people might feel unseen or even experience shame about bringing all parts of themselves into therapy or the world at large. My goal as a therapist and advocate is to foster a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and compassionate therapeutic relationship to help people improve their sense of self-worth, increase their sense of self-trust, and to increase the tools they use to establish an internal sense of balance.

I have the privilege of accompanying clients as they go through some of the most painful and some of the most joyous times of their lives. I see therapy as a journey that the client and therapist take together with the therapist playing the role of a traveling companion, guide, and interpreter. I have extensive experience providing counseling services to adolescents, adults and families in the various clinical settings. The focus of treatment includes improving self-image, changing negative self-talk, and working through trauma. My approach is collaborative, working together to define and achieve therapy goals.

Pastoral Counselor, BA, MFA, MA
I provide nondenominational pastoral counseling to all who who go through the disorienting pain and sorrow of loss. Whatever it's someone we love, a pet, friend, job, relationship, self-esteem, we know that love and loss are cojoined. When any deep bond is severed, the sadness and the broken heart are profound. But loss and grief are not mental health issues. And while there are meds for depression, there is no pill for a broken heart. No med for longing for a lost connection. These are spiritual matters. Things of the heart and soul. The Grief Journey is complex and demanding. I can help. I can't fix anything. Nothing is broken.

I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working for them is no longer working. Maybe you feel unheard, unseen, anxious, angry, stuck, or burnt-out. Maybe you have felt this for a long time, but believed you needed permission to feel this way. We all perform the work of care and repair to show up for relationships and our work despite the social and political landscape that shapes how we experience our personal and collective bodies. In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

Living a balanced, meaningful life is the most worthwhile endeavor in this age of change and challenge. Loving connections, a grounded sense of self-esteem and mindful self-care can be hard to achieve and maintain, yet success in these areas can change the way we experience and negotiate our world. Good therapy creates a clearer understanding of the obstacles and how to overcome them to create the life we want. My approach is warm, intellectually curious and collaborative, always keeping goals in mind and explaining the process along the way.

Throughout life, we all face challenges and stressors that can be too difficult to resolve alone. Oftentimes, the viewpoint of a nonjudgmental third person can provide exceptionally useful new perspectives and insights. Working together, I help my clients discover their values, learn new ways of managing distress, and live their optimal life.

My style is interactive and I offer clients an authentic and friendly therapeutic relationship through which to explore current challenges that are causing you stress. We'll work to identify what may be barriers to a more hopeful, meaningful life. Perhaps you are in a transitional phase and an objective partner could help with decision making, problem solving or communication strategies. Together we'll find ways to increase your self awareness and develop plans around your goals and values and help you reconnect with parts of yourself which will help guide you toward a more satisfying life that you have been seeking.

My ideal client is the client that has an idea of what they want in life but is overwhelmed with life stressors such as anxiety and depression. This client needs a safe space to explore their life options and the triggers that are causing negative thinking patterns, self-doubt, and low self-confidence. This client needs support, encouragement, and a non-judgmental approach to achieve their goals.

How can I find a therapist in Boston?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
