Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.

Therapist

I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


You may be used to being the person everyone else depends on. Maybe you’re caring for a child with special needs or complex medical needs, or you’re a first responder or work in a high-stress profession where pushing through is part of the job. Over time, constantly being “on” can lead to stress, anxiety, burnout, guilt, or feeling overwhelmed. I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. Together, we’ll focus on what’s weighing on you, build practical ways to manage stress, and make room for your own needs, too.

Luiza Camelo

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.
