Hollow Reed and Mindful Balance: Two Separate Practices
In addition to my work at Hollow Reed Holistic Healing, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Because I offer both, I want to be clear about how they differ.
I am not currently accepting new individual psychotherapy clients.
Different purposes
Psychotherapy is licensed clinical treatment for mental and emotional health concerns. Reiki, guided meditation, and coaching are non-clinical services intended to support rest, wellbeing, and personal growth. They are not psychotherapy, and I do not offer them as a form of mental health treatment.
Different practices
My therapy practice, Mindful Balance Counseling, operates separately from Hollow Reed Holistic Healing. Reiki, meditation, and coaching sessions are scheduled, documented, and paid for separately from therapy, and they are not billed to insurance.
For current therapy clients
If you're a current therapy client and curious about reiki or guided meditation, let's talk about it in session first. These services are always optional, and choosing not to receive them has no effect on your therapy. If you decide to try one, we'll review a separate consent form together, including how we'll handle anything that comes up during a session. Coaching is not available to current therapy clients.
Looking for therapy?
I am not currently accepting new individual therapy clients. To learn more about my clinical approach, visit Mindful Balance Counseling.
If you are in crisis
Hollow Reed Holistic Healing is not a crisis service. If you are in distress or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 in an emergency.
Therapy Groups
Therapy Groups through Mindful Balance Counseling
Group therapy offers something individual therapy can't: the experience of learning and practicing alongside others who understand. My groups blend skills-based work with attention to the body and nervous system, in a supportive space where members can build connection, practice new ways of responding, and feel less alone in what they're carrying.
Therapy groups are clinical services offered through Mindful Balance Counseling and are separate from Hollow Reed Holistic Healing.
Upcoming groups: To be announced! Both in person and online
Parenting Skills
This is a 12-week virtual group hosted by Clinical and Support Options out of Springfield, MA and facilitated by Dot Earley, LMHC. The group is open to any parent(s) who is looking for extra support and skills around parenting, with a focus on those who have state involvement, although is open to all. The topics are all trauma and nervous system informed.
