A Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hello, I'm Emily Generazzo
Helping others heal and grow has always been at the heart of who I am. My work is rooted in a compassionate, creative, and client-centered approach, where I meet people where they are and help them uncover the strengths they already hold. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm, I provide a space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Not Your Average Mental Health Counselor
Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. I believe it should feel safe, human, and even fun when the moment calls for it. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to meet people where they are, and I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and families. Everyone deserves a space that respects who they are and what they need, no judgment, just support.
I also run Not Your Average Mermaid, a nontraditional therapy experience rooted in movement, mindfulness, and nature. It’s designed to support emotional growth in ways that go beyond the therapy room.
You’ll often find me with my sweet therapy dog, Woods (aka Woodsey Burns), who plays an important role in the work I do. I believe animals have a natural healing power, and he brings a special kind of comfort to kids, teens, and adults alike.
My Story
I’m a Boston girl at heart, the oldest of five wild-hearted minis, raised by an Italian family who believed deeply in showing up for others. Their love, grit, and unwavering support shaped the way I move through the world- and inspired me to keep following the path that felt true.
​
Since 2016, I’ve been working in the holistic field, teaching yoga and completing trainings focused on trauma, movement, and the mind-body connection. That background continues to influence my work today, blending traditional therapy with creative and somatic approaches that honor the whole person.
​
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University in 2022. Since then, I’ve been building a practice that reflects everything I believe in: authenticity, compassion, and the power of safe, human connection.
Whether I’m working with a child, teen, adult, or family, my goal is to create a space that feels grounded, steady, and real- a space where you can show up just as you are, and feel supported as you grow into who you’re becoming.
Core Values
One of my core values as a therapist is creating a safe, authentic, and inclusive space where clients feel respected, supported, and empowered to grow at their own pace.​
