Mason O'Sullivan

I grew up in southern Virginia in a Baptist family and learned early to split myself in two. I carried grief, fear, and confusion alone because I didn’t have the safety or language to share any of it. My work now focuses on people who feel that same split. People who move through life with losses they never named, emotions they pushed down, and identities they hid to stay connected.

I’ve spent years studying Bhakti Yoga and Eastern philosophy, which gave me a framework to understand pain without turning it into a personal flaw. My background includes a BA in film and video studies, over 300 certified hours as a yoga and meditation teacher, formal coaching training, and personal mentorship under Kim Polinder. I’m also completing my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently in my internship. This mix shapes how I support clients who feel stuck in unresolved grief, hidden stories, or the fear of being fully seen.

My approach is simple. Slow down. Tell the truth. Look at the parts of your life that carry weight and understand why they still pull on you. I use cognitive and behavioral tools to help you make sense of your internal story and communicate it with more clarity. For couples, I focus on how unspoken grief affects connection and conflict. Most tension comes from not feeling understood, not from the topic at hand.

People often seek support when their internal world stops matching the life they show others. I help you track the origin of those gaps and develop tools to respond with more steadiness. This process doesn’t erase loss. It helps you carry it with less confusion and fewer reactive patterns.
