Luzelly Frias, LICSW, LCSW

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker who provides remote tele-therapy services and clinical supervision in the state of Massachusetts and North Carolina. I hold a Master of Social Work from Boston College and my undergraduate degrees from the University of Rhode Island. I have experience in working with youth, young adults, and older adults in various settings. I am an adjunct professor at Boston University, a speaker with experience in panels, facilitating workshops, and keynotes.

I work with women and non-binary clients who are coping with difficult life transitions and experiencing relationship or work stress, grief, depression, and anxiety. I am a bilingual and bicultural afro-latina who is a warm and empathetic therapist. I work from a trauma informed, anti-oppressive lens. My focus is holistic, using mindfulness, positive self talk, self-care, and self-compassion to achieve emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical balance.

As a first-generation Dominican-American therapist, I am well aware that only 6.3% of therapists are Latinx and many are not in the private practice space therefore access to Latinx therapists is limited. I strive to use my experiences as an Afro-Latina to connect and better support my clients who are looking for someone that “gets it” while throwing in some Spanglish to get a point across without shame. My goal is to allow you to slow down, recognize that you matter, and deserve a space that does not require you to wear all the hats your family, friends, colleagues, and world expects you to wear.

A little more about me! I enjoy being active, giving hugs, finding the best donuts and fries in town, and loving on my growing plant jungle.
