Octavia Phoenix, MHC-LP
Message from Octavia
I aim to create a warm, safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for clients. It is important for clients to have such a space to be able to unpack and explore all that is bothering them. I work with clients through a few different approaches such as strength-based, humanistic, and mindfulness. Therapy is not one size fits all and thus I tailor my work to each individual client.

Get to Know Octavia
"Octavia is one of the best clinicians that I have worked with thus far. When I met with Octavia it was one of the first times that I felt heard, and my feelings and concerns about my issue were validated and addressed. She also gave me a lot of good tips for grounding and coping with my anxiety and stress that I know will be useful going forward. I know a lot of people who are hesitant to start therapy, but it is because of clinicians like Octavia that more people who take the first step to start, will actually pull through. I would not be able to make it through without Octavia's help and support, and I am grateful for having her in my corner as I continue to grieve and process."
AR, Client
What are your policies and practices around insurance?
We are in-network with Cigna and Aetna. Book through: https://www.zocdoc.com/professional/octavia-phoenix-ma-389610?isNewPatient=false
Do you assign homework, activities, or readings for me to do between sessions? Why or why not?
Yes. I do believe that part of the work in therapy is for the client to implement what is learned and discussed into their daily life.
From your perspective, what is therapy?
I believe therapy, specifically talk-therapy, is a service that provides you a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for you to open up about issues, concerns, and/or challenges you face that you feel you cannot open up about to others.
