Hollis Greenspan

Hollis Greenspan is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who brings an integrative approach to therapy. She combines mindfulness practices with forms of thought reframing and body-oriented work to help clients notice and shift patterns that maintain distress. Her training includes a master of social work from the University of Connecticut and an advanced counseling certification from The Synthesis Center in Amherst, Massachusetts, built on a foundation in cultural anthropology from Tufts University.

Her clinical interests span relationship and intimacy-related challenges, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, eating and body image concerns, and a range of relational and identity questions including LGBT and polyamory issues. Additional focus areas include chronic illness and pain, abandonment, communication problems, and life transitions.

Hollis frames therapy around client autonomy and self-empowerment, and she integrates techniques such as Focusing and Psychosynthesis alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives. Her practice also attends to practical self-care elements like nutrition and sleep hygiene while acknowledging spiritual and existential dimensions when appropriate.
