Welcome to BetterHelp! Many people come to therapy looking for a place where they can share their innermost thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of judgment and receive unconditional support. I have been providing this kind of open, caring, therapeutic environment to my clients throughout my career. My name is Kimberley Haley and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1993, and my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 2001. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals who have experienced abuse and trauma, and as a result, my specialties include the treatment of anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression. I also have experience in assisting my clients to manage issues related to grief and loss, low self-esteem, the stress that accompanies divorce or separation and co-parenting as well as relationship and marital issues. I have experience as a behaviorist and have done a lot of work with clients who have a family member with intellectual or other disabilities. As such, I would be a great match for someone who is a caregiver for someone with a disability. In my work, I feel it is crucial that I be able to get to know my clients and the environments that they are living in so that I can have a full understanding of what they are facing on a daily basis. My therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral in nature. I believe that the most successful treatment focuses on identifying problems, and providing guidance and a clear plan to address the negative issues that my clients are experiencing, so that they can have a sense of relief, and experience an improvement in their quality of life. I provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment so that the focus can remain on my clients and the work they are willing to do so that they may lead happier, healthier, more purposeful lives. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile and I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you!

Pam Bolarinho, LICSW, currently a full time VP of Acute Care Services. I have worked in the field of social work for twenty plus years in various clinical support and leadership roles. I started her career as a social worker with the Healthy Families Program and then as a social worker for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families until obtaining her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Bridgewater State University where I was also the Class Representative for her MSW cohort. In addition to my role as the ESP Director for the past three years, my prior experience includes working as the Clinical Director for inpatient psychiatric facility as well as the Social Work Manager at an acute medical hospital for over seven years. I am a proud Portuguese American who immigrated to the United States at age five. SI have have dedicated my life to helping those in need, especially the most vulnerable populations. I have been working closely with many community providers including the Suicide Prevention Coalition, Help & Hope Southcoast, Labor & Human Trafficking, and Opioid Taskforce to name a few. I was instrumental in starting a co-response program with the local Police Department nearly three years ago resulting in over 400 patient’s being seen in the community as part of the co-response model; I am proud of the great work that program is doing in keeping over sixty-five percent of those individuals home who may have otherwise ended up in a local emergency room. I have worked closely with individual providers, community agencies, local police departments and with the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership and Beacon Health Options in identifying ways to continue to divert patients from seeking the emergency room as their first line for their behavioral health needs. I have always been a patient centered/strength based clinician and find that when you take that approach people tend to respond to treatment in a positive way with positive outcomes. Throughout my career I have worked with trauma victims, end of life, foster care/adoption, individual suffers from reactive attachment disorder, elders, adults suffering from addiction as well as ongoing mental health and chronic mental health.
