By: Lauren Spinelli, LCSW![]() I am so happy to be joining the Thrive Therapy team! I am a licensed psychotherapist and am truly excited to do work I’m passionate about. I feel so grateful that I have the privilege of helping others overcome obstacles and reach their goals! I knew I wanted to be a therapist and help people from a very young age. My interest was sparked as I was growing up with my older brother and learned of his diagnosis of autism. I became increasingly interested in his various methods of coping and treatment. I saw the positive impact therapy had on my brother, and I always wanted to be able to help people the way he was helped. I received my undergraduate degree from Boston College where I studied psychology and human development. Knowing this field was for me from a young age, I went right on to obtain a Master’s in Social Work, also from Boston College, with a concentration in clinical mental health. I have had many experiences helping people overcome different life challenges and obstacles. Some of my experiences include working at a special services school with children, working as a counselor at a charter school, working as a therapist at an afterschool program with young children, working at an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization program with adults, working at a crisis stabilization unit with adults and working at a suicide and sexual assault hotline. As you can tell by my varied experiences, I absolutely love working with all ages! It is so exciting for me to watch people at all stages of life change, heal, grow, and achieve their goals! I look forward to doing meaningful and transformative work at Thrive Therapy Studio! A note from our founder about Lauren: I am so happy to welcome Lauren to our team at Thrive.
