Helen Feola

My communication style

I create an environment that feels warm, judgment-free, and safe. I hold space for the feelings my clients express. Sometimes there are lots of laughs and humor involved. Other times, there are tears and tissues involved. Regardless of what feelings are being felt, I hold space for you to release, process, and evaluate what you are feeling.

My journey to mental healthcare

When my marriage ended, I was left feeling hopeless and defeated. That was when I had my first experience with therapy. I had a wonderful therapist whom I grew to trust, who helped me rebuild my life. Through that experience, I was inspired to become a therapist so that I could help others find hope and a sense of well-being.

My goals for you

I like to get to know my clients and what areas of strength and weakness they have. Then, I like to work alongside my clients in developing short-term and long-term goals. I see my role as being in the passenger seat of a car. My clients are the driver, and I am the passenger. My role is to assist in guiding them to where they want to go.

Our first session

Our first session will be spent getting to know each other and building rapport. I want you to have a space where you can share your feelings and feel validated. My hope is that you leave your session feeling better than when you started.
