May Beliard

Hello, I'm Carmelle Beliard. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts, and also licensed in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Texas, and Illinois, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to my practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in sociology and a concentration in substance abuse counseling from Curry College, and completed my master’s degree in social work at Simmons University. As a compassionate and dedicated Haitian American therapist, I am committed to making a positive impact in the mental health field by providing culturally sensitive and empowering therapeutic support to individuals from all walks of life.

I am passionate about investing in individuals from marginalized communities and promoting mental well-being. My approach is rooted in providing culturally competent and trauma-informed therapy, particularly to diverse populations. I am experienced in addressing issues such as racial identity, anxiety, depression, systemic oppression, trauma, grief, and life/career transitions. I believe in the power of personalized treatment plans to support and empower individuals to reach their full potential.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in Haitian Creole, I deeply value cultural sensitivity. Growing up in a Haitian household, I possess the language and cultural fluency necessary to establish a strong rapport and communicate effectively with clients from different cultural backgrounds. I understand the nuances of being raised in the Caribbean culture and its impact on interpersonal relationships, life journeys, and values. My goal is to provide a space that respects and addresses your needs, creating an inclusive and affirming environment where you feel heard, understood, and validated.

In our work together, you will be supported in creating and implementing culturally competent and trauma-informed treatment plans, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your unique background and experiences. I aim to empower you to overcome barriers, discover your inner strength, and foster resilience in the face of adversity.

My education and rich experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health issues and the importance of culturally competent care. Above all, I believe in the power of resilience and self-empowerment. My mission is to support you on your journey to healing, providing you with the tools to embrace your true potential and live a fulfilling life. If you seek a compassionate and culturally sensitive therapist to help you navigate life’s challenges with strength and resilience, let's embark on this transformative journey together. Let's take the first step and create a brighter future for you.
