Hallie Boas (she/her)

As a queer woman and activist, it is important to me that people in our community have access to mental health providers who we don’t have to explain our lives to. I have both seen and experienced the need in our communities to heal from interpersonal, intergenerational, and collective trauma in all facets of our lives. I approach my clinical work just as I approach my political work: systematically addressing the root causes of mental illness and social determinants of health.

Our communities need to heal from interpersonal, intergenerational, and collective trauma. I approach trauma work just as I approach political work: systematically addressing the root causes of trauma, mental illness and social determinants of health. Drawing upon a spiritual and trauma-informed practice, I will guide you in uncovering intergenerational trauma to heal unconscious patterns and to find freedom in a life of possibilities.

I am deeply interested in interrogating cultural beliefs about wellness, mental illness, as well as power dynamics in the world of professional healing. In our work together, I will support you in challenging taboos, stigmas, and power dynamics about wellness and pathologizing mental illness.

IFS has been integral in helping my clients to become more resilient. self healers Resilience is the politicized, active, in-motion practice of hope and trust. IFS techniques integrate our mind, body, emo, and spirit. IFS provides a trauma-informed framework to compassionately build our self esteem and self worth to build trusting and intimate connections in all aspects of our lives.

I help clients recover from trauma by helping them to tolerate painful emotions and experiences, and that eventually these experiences will come to an end. After you have been traumatized, you live in a different universe. It is virtually impossible to assimilate new experiences and our brains begin to tell us our world is unsafe and our bodies and our feelings are too. I will help you to accept and care for the the wounded parts inside yourself

We begin the journey of turning inward, surrendering control, and unconditionally loving ourselves no matter what. The more we are open to our own inner experience, the more open we are to other people’s vastly different experiences​. Our work together will help you let people be who they are without needing to control or fix them. When ​we let go of control, and what we ​receive​ in return ​is unconditional​ joy, freedom, and contentment.
