People helping people, re-creating community
Our team
Raja bases her theoretical framework from an attachment theory/psychodynamic perspective. She utilizes expressive therapy (art; sound therapy, meditation; yoga) to work through a subconscious level; and CBT/DBT based skill building for learning how to function. Her goal is to walk alongside people she works with through the journey of life.
She's dedicated her life to understanding intergenerational trauma and how to break the cycles within family systems. She incorporates a neuroscientific perspective on the mind-body connection to heal at the root.

& board member
(In-person Marion office & telehealth )
I am a Mom of a beautiful daughter, a dog mom to two dogs and a self-proclaimed baker. My passion for helping others heal is motivated by triumph over personal adversity. I am rooted in Southcoast MA, where I was born and raised. Through hard work, perseverance, and support, I became a first-generation college graduate of an immigrant family of child slaves. This lens gave me the foundation and compassion to work with people at a deeper level.
At 18, I became a pediatric Palliative/Hospice volunteer/intern, while simultaneously working at various child/adolescent group homes to complete my graduate degree in Social Work.
Since then, I have worked in hospital facilities with people in crisis and eventually returned back to the same hospice facility where my journey started.
When COVID struck, I saw a deep need for more independent providers and began my private practice where I focus on supporting people’s strengths and encourage their self-empowerment through their own adversity. I am also a newly certified sound healer and have started incorporating this method into my practice, because I recognize the importance of utilizing holistic practices to heal the subconscious mind.
I witness the power of people taking care of their mental health through individual therapy on a daily basis. However, I have realized through my professional experience that an individual can only achieve a higher level of healing when they have a supported place within their community and surrounding systems. We as humans are designed to travel in packs, work as a team, support each other, help one another in feasible ways, identify with a personal purpose, and also feel a part of a larger purpose within our community. It is my intention to be part of Real Eyes Truth in efforts to assist in connecting our communities by providing a safe space for individuals elevating to higher levels of healing. I believe in this initiative to create a larger community purpose and taking steps to restore community cohesiveness.

Christina Cerminera
Therapist
(in-person Marion office & telehealth)
Before finding my calling in the mental health field, I spent years as a Culinary Artist, where I developed a deep appreciation for the creativity and connection that comes from sharing a meal. This passion for connection extends to my personal life, where I have a special affinity for nature, animals, and the power of human connection in all its forms.
As a second-generation immigrant and first-generation college graduate from Bridgewater State University, where I earned my master's degree in Clinical Psychology, I understand the importance of bridging cultural gaps and honoring the rich dynamics that shape our lives.
My personal journey is one of resilience overcoming challenges in my life, which has inspired me to be committed to helping others break free from the cycles of intergenerational trauma. Healing is possible, and I believe that, with the right support, we can stop these cycles and create new, healthier paths forward for ourselves and our families.
My clinical focus is working with people of all ages that have experienced trauma, with a background working with families in crisis in the community and substance use treatment. My therapeutic approach blends Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Theory, Attachment Theory, and Cognitive Processing Theory. I take a tailored, individualized approach to treatment, ensuring that each person receives care that respects their unique needs, experiences, and strengths. For me, therapy is not just about providing guidance; it's about working with you to take ownership of your healing and supporting your inner knowing through each step of the journey.
In addition to my clinical work, I have a vision of creating a domesticated farm rescue that integrates animal therapy—an inclusive space where healing through connection with animals and community can happen organically. I firmly believe in the power of collectivism—the idea that we thrive when we are supported by others. Whether through family, friendships, or community, the connections we cultivate with those around us provide vital strength and resilience in navigating life’s challenges. My work is dedicated to helping clients tap into the collective power of these relationships to heal, grow, and overcome obstacles together.
Rebecca Post
Clinical Mental Health Counselor
& Expressive Arts Therapy
(in–person Hyannis office

I am excited to join the team as an intern at Real Eyes Truth, as their focus on holistic wellness and community connections resonates with my values. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in Expressive Arts Therapy at Lesley University. I also hold a master’s in School Counseling.
In my current work as an In-Home Therapy Clinician, I support children and their families in addressing mental health needs while promoting healthy family dynamics. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in schools, helping them navigate hurdles like anxiety, depression, and trauma. Additionally, I have supported adults facing memory loss, helping them to engage socially and have fun in a group setting while offering support to their caregivers.
Building rapport is essential to my therapeutic approach. I strive to create a safe environment and lead with curiosity, authenticity, acceptance, and empathy, inviting each person’s unique world to unfold. I am particularly passionate about the healing power of expressive arts therapy.
I invite creativity, playfulness, and meaningful self-expression through various modalities such as music, movement, writing, visual arts, crafts, cooking, and mindfulness. I find joy in engaging in creative expression, so I can practice alongside you or be a witness.
I enjoy working with people of all ages. I will collaborate with you to tailor the therapeutic experience based on your goals and needs. Whether you prefer creative expression, quiet reflection, talking, and/or skill-based learning, I look forward to helping you on this mental health journey and supporting your path going forward.
Hi! I'm Marissa. I love working with clients towards healing themselves while also acknowledging the effects of environmental & systemic factors that influence their lives. I have significant experience working with people and families with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, gender, sexuality, and so much more. I take a very compassionate, relational, and person-centered approach. We are both human and are connecting as humans. Some of the best trauma healing happens within developing a safe space where we can share, relate, and co-regulate. I am an eclectic therapist who combines multiple modalities to allow you to lead treatment and be met where you are. I also use EMDR for trauma reprocessing and will be including these techniques into my sessions in addition to my other multi-modal approaches (art, music, narrative, geek, sex positive, etc). I always strive to be authentic as a human, but especially as a therapist.

Helen Turnbull, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, & Alexander Technique Teacher
(In-person Hyannis office and Telehealth)
Helen Turnbull is a psychotherapist, Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (R-DMT), certified Alexander Technique teacher, and somatic practitioner whose work integrates traditional psychotherapy with body-based, mindfulness, and movement-oriented approaches to healing. She works collaboratively with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, chronic illness and pain, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and experiences of feeling disconnected from themselves or their bodies. Her approach is grounded in the understanding that our emotional experiences are not held in the mind alone—they are also expressed through the body, nervous system, relationships, and the ways we have learned to move through the world.
Helen draws from Dance/Movement Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, relational psychotherapy, expressive arts, and somatic approaches, tailoring therapy to each person's needs and comfort level. Somatic and movement-based work is always invitational and may range from noticing physical sensations and patterns of tension to more active movement and creative expression. She believes therapy can help us become curious about patterns that may once have been protective but no longer serve us, creating greater flexibility, self-understanding, self-compassion, and choice.
Helen earned her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy from Lesley University. Her work is further informed by a three-year, 1,600-hour professional certification in the Alexander Technique, a bachelor's degree in Expressive Arts Therapy, and a lifelong background in dance and movement. At the heart of her practice is the belief that healing does not require separating the mind from the body; by creating space for both, therapy can support a deeper connection to ourselves and a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and our own.
Helen turnbull
Dance/Movement Therapist
(in-person Hyannis & telehealth)
As a therapist, I approach my work through a trauma-informed and holistic lens, grounded in the understanding of how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems shape our experiences. My goal is to help clients explore the root causes of their challenges while supporting them in becoming the most authentic and empowered versions of themselves.
I integrate somatic work, bilateral stimulation, attachment-based therapy, meditation, and perspective-shifting techniques to support clients in becoming more awake in their bodies and attuned to their inner world. Together, we work to gently nurture the parts of themselves that feel uncomfortable, disconnected, or overwhelmed, which creates space for healing and self-acceptance. We then learn to marinate in those positive feelings and strengthen these parts of ourselves.
Central to my approach is the process of recreating neural pathways through consistent, compassionate practice. I believe transformation happens not just through insight, but through embodied experience. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are ready to work on themselves.
I practiced Social Work internationally in Bo, Sierra Leone at the Child Rescue Centre and Mercy Hosptial in 2014 with Helping Children Worldwide. I have practiced in the mental health and substance use fields since 2015. I completed my BA in Psychology from UMass Boston and was a member of the Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention Advocacy Group. I graduated with a Master's in Clinical Social Work, specializing in violence and trauma, from Boston University. I have received a certificate in the Five Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing.
Central to my approach is the process of recreating neural pathways through consistent, compassionate practice. It’s all about meeting someone where they are at and breaking cycles that no longer serve them. I love working with the adolescent population, and have an extensive background working with kids/teens and families. I particularly enjoy working with individuals, of any age, who are ready to work on themselves.
Rose stafford
Therapist
(in-person Hyannis & telehealth)
My journey into social work is deeply connected to my lived experience. I grew up navigating poverty, family substance use, generational trauma, and social systems long before I had the language to understand them. Those experiences taught me that people are rarely simply “the problem.” We are shaped by our experiences, relationships, identities, environments, and the systems surrounding us. This has taught me that meaningful healing requires space for all of those pieces of our story.
I am a U.S. Army veteran, and my military service took me around the world and introduced me to people, communities, and cultures incredibly unique from my own. Those experiences challenged my perspective and strengthened my belief in our shared humanity and the importance of approaching others with dignity, curiosity, and humility.
I am also the proud father of a three-year-old child with disabilities. Navigating systems alongside my son has deepened my understanding of advocacy, accessibility, and the importance of ensuring individuals and families feel heard and empowered in decisions affecting their lives.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work at Boston College on the clinical track. My developing practice is influenced by Liberation Health, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches. I don’t believe therapy is about “fixing” people. I believe people are the authors of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them as they explore their experiences, strengths, relationships, identities, and the systems influencing their stories.
To me, healing is not always about returning to who we were before adversity. Sometimes it is about discovering who we are becoming because we survived it.
Outside of social work, I enjoy photography. It reminds me that perspective matters and sometimes looking through a different lens allows us to recognize strengths and possibilities that were there all along.
Antoine Jacques
Boston College
Clinical Social Worker Intern
(in-person Hyannis)
I am currently pursuing a dual Master of Social Work and Master of Education in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at Boston University, and I'm joining Real Eyes Truth for my second-year placement because that belief feels alive in everything this practice does. I don't believe healing happens in isolation, and I'm drawn to work that treats a person's mental health as inseparable from their relationships, their sense of belonging, and their community. My work so far has centered on children, adolescents, and young adults, and that's where I imagine I'll continue to feel most at home—though I'm open to connecting with anyone who feels like the fit is right. I'm still early in building my own clinical voice, and I'm approaching that deliberately, testing what resonates against real work with real people, rather than claiming a framework before I've fully utilized it.
When I'm not working or in class, you can probably find me embroidering, elbow-deep in a Lego set, or hunched over a puzzle—usually with a show or movie playing in the background, because apparently, I can't do just one thing at a time.
Because of my own experience unraveling and re-grounding my relationship to the frameworks I was handed, I've become increasingly curious about the space between a person and the systems that shape them—where struggle actually lives. What I've come to see is a pattern. When someone is struggling, it's rarely because something is inherently wrong with them, sometimes it's because they have yet to find the version of connection, community, or belief that actually fits who they are.
I believe some of the deepest healing happens through mutual vulnerability—showing up as a real person alongside another real person, not just a clinician behind a role. Humor, kindness, authenticity, and connection are what I try to root myself in, and I hope that shows up in how I show up for you.
