Leading Light Behavioral Health is more than a traditional therapy practice. We are a comprehensive, trauma-informed behavioral health teaching practice committed to helping people rewrite the “I can’t” narrative. We combine evidence-based individual, couples, child, adolescent, family, and group clinical care with psychological evaluations, community-based services, clinician training, leadership consultation, and culturally responsive treatment under one organization. Our team specializes in serving individuals, families, and communities that have historically faced barriers to quality mental health care, with particular expertise in trauma, neurodiversity, forensic and court-related evaluations, and the unique experiences of Black women. What truly makes us different is our commitment to empowering both clients and future clinicians through education, innovation, and compassionate care that recognizes strengths, restores dignity, and creates lasting change. Unlike practices that focus solely on symptom reduction, we help people build lives they do not have to recover from by integrating treatment, assessment, education, community support, and prevention into one continuum of care.

I welcome your courage in sharing your challenges with me and believe that we can work together using evidence-based therapy to create change. Our relationship matters to me and I will check in with you frequently about our work. I bring respect, empathy, humor, and authenticity (I'm a real person!) to the therapy room. I often work with body image and eating issues (e.g., food restrictionother), addiction, anxiety & OCD, insomnia, depression, trauma & PTSD, shame, perfectionism, relationship issues and parenting. I am a certified couples' and Level 2 AEDP and IFS therapist. I also use mindfulness, CBT and DBT heavily in my practice. I draw on evolutionary psychology to understand how our feelings (e.g., anxiety, fear, anger, joy) evolved to protect us and push us to take survival-oriented actions that we may or may not want to take. I use mindfulness to help us gain awareness of feelings and make new choices when needed. I am part-time faculty at Harvard Medical School, where I trained. I often work with adult professionals as well as adolescents and young adults. I enjoy meditating and spending time in nature — rock-climbing, hiking and cycling. I grew up in Europe in a diverse family and bring a multicultural sensitivity to therapy. I conduct therapy in French and Spanish as well, languages I am fluent in. https:www.dremilymanove.com

Our core values are rooted in positivity, joy, hope, and advocacy. Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy that empowers clients to heal, grow, and thrive. Guided by our core values of positivity, joy, hope, and advocacy, we partner with individuals, couples, and families to foster resilience, cultivate meaningful change, and support the creation of a joyful and fulfilling life. MA Jean-Charles Psychotherapy and Consulting, LLC, provides psychodynamic therapy to individuals, couples, and families of color. Our practice was founded to address the shortage of private practices focused on the unique needs of communities of color. In today’s climate, the experience of otherness is often more acute, and when combined with challenges such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), marital or relationship stress, and racial trauma, life can feel especially overwhelming. Our goal is to promote healing and emotional growth by offering a safe, affirming space where clients can develop the skills to manage mental health symptoms and build resilience. In addition to psychotherapy, we provide life coaching services designed to foster self-efficacy and empower clients to live fuller, more confident, and meaningful lives.

Feeling weary? If you are tired of being stuck in the same old patterns, I can help. Radical acceptance of yourself can lead to the radical change you want. Therapy with me is LGBTQ+ supporting and welcomes your identity: queer, non-binary, trans, polyamorous, kinky, and fabulous. Therapy with me is neurodiversity affirming and respectful of your Autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent style of thinking, processing, and relating. Therapy with me is fat liberating and focuses on accepting your body as it is and finding freedom from diet culture. Issues we can address together include: Trauma: Learn how trauma from your past affects you in the present. We will begin by focusing on ways for you to recognize your trauma responses and cope with them right now. Relationships: Learn what is getting in the way of having the kinds of relationships you want. Try new ways of communicating that give you more flexibility and help you get your needs met. Anxiety and depression: Learn how to be compassionate with yourself and your moods. Explore how your moods may be understandable responses to oppression and internalized oppression. I am a Gestalt therapist. Gestalt therapy is interactive and creative. As a therapist, I am warm and genuine, curious about you and compassionate about what you're going through, and open about my thoughts and the therapy process. If you think we might be a good match, I hope you will get in touch.
