Hallie Boas, LMHC
EMDR Certified and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Psychotherapist in New York City
I’m a licensed mental health counselor, new parent, trained sociocultural anthropologist, and community organizer. With 20 years in activism, research, and holistic wellness, I bring a deep, practical understanding of individual, ancestral and collective healing to my work with you.
my approach
I believe that when we are connected to ourselves, we are able to show up more fully in the world.
I walk alongside people who have, over time, lost touch with their own needs, self-worth and inner wisdom. As we slow down and listen inward, we begin to remember ourselves. From this place, our work becomes more honest, more sustainable, and more nourishing.
I accompany you as a guide into the places that feel hardest to face—the tender, frightened, or hidden parts of yourself that learned it was safer to stay unseen. Many of us carry deep shame and a persistent sense of not belonging. In our work together, we create space for acceptance, radical compassion, and steady care to grow from within.
I am here to help you bring more sweetness, pleasure, and presence into your life—so that what is tended inside you can naturally extend outward into your relationships, communities, and the world.

my clients
I particularly enjoy working with therapists in training and early career therapists. Most recently, becoming a mother and parenting young children, has deepened my understanding of life’s transitions, the rhythms of caregiving, and the shifting layers of identity. I love working with activists and organizers, artists, healers, and the LGBTQIPA2S+ community.
