Mental Health Counselor
Hello my name is Lily! I am a mental health counselor at our Newton clinic who works with children, adolescents, and young adults starting at age 6. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Suffolk University. My professional background includes working at a PreK-12 independent school as a mental health counselor. Here, I gained experience supporting children with various challenges, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. I strive to create a warm, relatable environment that allows people to be themselves, laugh when needed, and feel safe exploring difficult emotions.
In my work, I draw from several therapeutic modalities depending on the individual’s needs and what is developmentally age-appropriate. My specialty is in clinical work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I also have experience working with athletes with performance anxiety, injury recovery, and other challenges that come from being an athlete.
Taking the step to seek support for your child or yourself and committing to doing the sometimes difficult but rewarding work is one of the hardest steps, and I am so happy you are here. I am eager to hear from you and learn how I might be able to support you and your family on your journey.
