Meet The Staff

Hi there! My name is Haily and I am a licensed mental health therapist licensed in Massachusetts.  I have a bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Mental health counseling.  I have over 10 years of experience and have worked with a wide variety of ages from 2-72!  I have worked with clients who were diagnosed with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, PTSD, and substance use.  My clinical interests include fertility issues, parenting issues, divorce, grief and loss, and postpartum disorders.  

I use a mix of different counseling therapies including person-centered, solution focused, and cognitive behavior therapy.  My approach when working with clients is laid back, flexible, and nonjudgemental.  I want my clients to feel comfortable and empowered to take control of their treatment and ultimately their lives. 

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Inara Furnari-O’Mara is called to be of service to their community and they feel deep gratitude for the opportunity to connect with individuals during these strange and uncertain times. Inara has been a mover and meditation practitioner for twenty years. They received a Masters Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling in 2010, and since then they have found increasingly creative ways to apply their knowledge and experience in a variety of realms of growth and healing from teaching dance and art, working as a life coach, ritual facilitator, reiki practitioner, and offering consultation and support to leaders and communities.

Inara holds their practice in the same vein as practice within the context of spirituality and ritual. They perceive their work as an act of bearing witness to humanity and a commitment to engaging in ways to decolonize and reimagine the healing process. They wish to support people in cultivating capacity, deepening awareness of their own innate strength and power, and processing experience so as to heal and grow in ways that inform how we choose to show up for the future. A primary focus of their work is relationship and working to identify, examine, and transform our sense of connection to self, nature, and others; drawing out thoughts or stories that aim to demean or diminish the benefits of our awareness and sensitivity and then nurture our unique skills and abilities in the realms of connection and communication. From here, deeply connected to self and the truth of the natural world around us, we can most effectively extend ourselves to others and form community from a place of integrity, autonomy, and sovereignty. 

Inara is a certified End of Life Coach and Death Doula, offering support and guidance to individuals and families around end of life, as well as offering ways to drop more fully and earnestly into the daily gift that life is. 

Inara is committed to their own process of learning, unlearning, and growing, so as to maintain integrity and capacity in all the services they offer.

All approaches offered virtually:

• Creative explorations: journaling, drawing, painting, sculpture, craft, etc.
• Somatic explorations: expressive exercises, mobility, nervous system support through movement.
• Nature based explorations: Offering insights and perspectives informed by nature and guiding individuals through their own custom process of connecting more deeply to the natural world.
• Grief explorations: Processing and tending to grief of all forms. Digesting loss and finding a source of strength in our capacity to be with the inevitability of loss.
• Climate and societal change processing: A more specific form of grief work, we drop into what is real and discover ways to support our systems through the experience of these times and develop an understanding of how we can sustain ourselves as we navigate loss, change, and transformation.

• Internal Family Systems: Explore your sense of self by getting to know the parts of you in order to achieve “self leadership.”
