Elevate Counseling Services

Do you feel like your energy disappears as soon as the clocks change? You’re not alone.

Many people in Massachusetts struggle with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), but don’t realize how much it’s impacting their mental health. You might feel foggy, irritable, hopeless, or just “off” — like it takes everything you have to get through the day.

This isn’t a personal failing. It’s a biological and emotional response to the season. And it’s treatable.

At Elevate Counseling, we support clients throughout Massachusetts with therapy for seasonal depression, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Whether online or in one of our welcoming office spaces, we’ll help you reconnect to your sense of balance and wellbeing.

Call 508-297-1491 or email intake@elevate-counseling.com to schedule.

🎨 This week’s Artful Minds session brought so much creativity, connection, and emotional growth — and we’re already getting ready for the next one on Monday!

If your middle schooler (ages 10–14) struggles to open up, manage stress, or feel confident, there’s still time to join.

Every session is different — and every child leaves with new tools to feel more in control.

Here’s what they’ll experience:
• 💬 Non-pressured ways to talk about feelings
• 🎨 Guided art projects that make emotions easier to understand
• 🧠 Coping strategies for anxiety, school pressure, and overwhelm
• 🤝 A safe space to connect with other kids their age

✨ Try this at home: Have your child draw a “thought bubble journal” — a few little cartoon bubbles of what’s on their mind right now. Let them share as much or as little as they want.

Led by Sharon Fortier-O’Dea, LMHC, ATR — licensed therapist and art therapist with years of experience supporting tweens and teens.

🗓 Next session: Monday, November 3 | 6:15–7:45 PM in Easton
🎨 Four total sessions — join one or more (each is unique!)
💵 $35/session | Most major insurance accepted

🎉 Our first Artful Minds session was amazing!

The kids got creative, opened up, and left feeling more confident — and there’s still time for your middle schooler to join in.

Missed the first one? No problem.

Each session stands on its own — your child (ages 10–14) can jump in any time and still get the full experience.

Through creative therapy, they’ll:
• 🎨 Express emotions without pressure
• 🧠 Build focus and calming tools
• 🤝 Make new friends in a supportive setting
• 💬 Feel seen, heard, and more in control

✨ Try this at home: Ask your child to draw a “wall of worries” — then talk about how they might start taking it down, one brick at a time.

Led by Sharon Fortier-O’Dea, LMHC, ATR — licensed mental health counselor and art therapist.

🗓 Next session: Monday, October 27 | 6:15–7:45 PM in Easton

10 years ago, Elevate Counseling began with a vision—and today, we’re celebrating how far we’ve come. 💙

When our CEO, Leigh-Ann Larson, LMHC, Intuitive & Grief Educator, founded Elevate, she dreamed of creating a supportive, collaborative home for mental health professionals across specialties. A place where no therapist would feel isolated—and where clients of all ages could receive compassionate, connected care.

Over the past decade, that dream has grown into a thriving practice with six offices across Massachusetts, a statewide telehealth network, and a deeply dedicated team.

To celebrate, we’re sharing this short, heartfelt video about our journey:

🚨 Starts this Monday! Final call to register for the first session of Artful Minds — a supportive, creativity-based therapy group for middle schoolers (ages 10–14) who need a space to be themselves, express emotions, and feel connected.

Whether your child is anxious, overwhelmed, or just quiet and internal — this group gives them tools to:
• 🎨 Safely process emotions through hands-on art
• 🤝 Make real peer connections in a no-pressure environment
• 🧠 Learn calming skills they can take into school and life
• 💬 Feel seen and understood without having to “talk it all out”

✨ Weekend idea: Ask your child to create a “calm corner” drawing — a place they’d go in their mind to feel peaceful and grounded.

Led by Sharon Fortier-O’Dea, LMHC, ATR — licensed therapist and art therapist who specializes in supporting tweens and teens.

🗓 First session: Monday, October 20 | 6:15–7:45 PM in Easton

🌟 Artful Minds starts this Monday — and we still have a few spots left!

If your middle schooler (ages 10–14) has a hard time opening up, connecting with peers, or managing school-year stress, this group could be a powerful turning point.

Through therapist-led art activities, your child will:
• 🎨 Express emotions in ways that feel safe and natural
• 💬 Build confidence in communicating and setting boundaries
• 🧠 Strengthen focus and emotional coping skills
• 🤝 Connect with other kids who are navigating the same challenges

✨ Try this at home: Ask your child to draw two side-by-side trees — one that represents how they feel right now, and one that shows how they want to feel.

Led by Sharon Fortier-O’Dea, LMHC, ATR — a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist.

🗓 Starts Monday, October 20 | 6:15–7:45 PM in Easton
🎨 Attend one or all four sessions — each one is different!
