Meet Dr. Lily Spost
A Message from Dr. Lily
“Hi you. I’m so glad you’re here. It means that you’re taking the first step to break free from the invisible obstacles that are derailing you from living your life on your terms. Your realization that change is possible is the exact reason I became a clinical psychologist. It means you’ve noticed something is off, or that life isn’t unfolding the way you envisioned. Years ago, I observed people around me struggle with that same heavy, exhausting dissatisfaction, and saw how it prevented them from living a flourishing life. That is when I decided to leave the corporate world and dedicate myself to learning about the human psyche while mastering tools to assist and support others live the lives they both desire and deserve. Because YOU DO DESERVE to live life fully and I’d like to help you do just that. You don’t need to have all of the answers right now, and you don’t have to face this journey alone. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are, and collaborate with you to navigate through your mud so that you can build the life you want. I am looking forward to being alongside you every step of the way.”
Dr. Lily’s Personal Interests
When not working, you can usually find Dr. Lily at the gym, striking up a conversation with a stranger, outdoors tending to her garden or throwing a ball to her tireless pup, Mila. If you fail to find her in one of these places, she will likely be making memories with family and friends or seeking adventure through exploring new places with her husband. An avid and firm believer in the benefits of mindfulness, especially after being an attendee of an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course, Dr. Lily appreciates stillness among the noise. Whether that is watching birds or simply listening to the sounds of nature, she appreciates being able to take an unencumbered pause amidst the busyness of life.

The Experienced Edge for High Stakes Success
Dr. Lily’s capability to guide you through the mud is built on a diverse, high-intensity clinical foundation. Her journey spans from a boutique anxiety clinic specializing in OCD, to treating complex trauma and addiction on Los Angeles' Skid Row, to intensive training in complex PTSD. For the past seven years, in Boston’s Back Bay, she refined her expertise working with professionals navigating high-pressure careers experiencing extreme burnout, stress, anxiety, and trauma. These vast experiences taught her exactly where her skills provide the deepest impact: helping adults confront the hidden emotional barriers that stall personal and professional growth.
Additionally, driven by a lifelong personal and professional passion for athletics and physical wellness, Dr. Lily completed postdoctoral training in sports psychology and peak performance. This advanced training expanded her clinical toolkit, allowing her to confidently bridge the gap between mental stability and physical achievement. Whether your "performance floor" is a courtroom, a boardroom, a stage, an athletic field, or your own kitchen, she leverages up-to-date behavioral medicine to optimize how you show up for yourself.
While Dr. Lily maintains focus areas in High-Pressure Careers, Trauma, Sports Psychology & Peak Performance, and Integrative Behavioral Health, her extensive background allows her to work confidently with adults facing many complex mental and emotional barriers. You do not need to have a clear diagnosis or explanation of your struggles to begin. Dr. Lily’s work is driven by a simple truth: by turning toward and tending to your inner pain with compassionate care, you can emerge from your mud with incredible resilience, leadership, and strength. She provides the objective, non-judgmental clinical partnership necessary to make the tactical shifts required for sustained, world-class growth.
Working with Dr. Lily is an investment in your most valuable asset: YOU. With her guidance, you can reconnect with yourself in a way that opens up new possibilities for healing, growth, and transformation, while moving toward the ultimate goal: living the life you deserve for yourself.
