Mezeline Lindor

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

We are excited to invite you to join Mezeline Lindor, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, for a free 20-minute therapeutic consultation at BAMS Fest on June 27, between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM.

These mini-sessions are designed for individuals and families seeking a compassionate space to pause, reflect, and receive support around stress, parenting, family dynamics, intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, life transitions, grief and/or social-emotional concerns.

Drawing from a holistic approach and integrating practical therapeutic interventions the intent is to help you feel grounded and supported. Whether you are navigating specific challenges or simply looking for a moment of connection and encouragement, a brief consultation can offer you the opportunity to check in with yourself and explore next steps for healing and growth.

Walk-ups are welcome as space allows. All are encouraged to stop by.

Keeana Saxon, Esq.

Mompreneur, Founder & CEO

Kidogo Productions

Keeana's a Boston mom, an attorney, and an educator. And, she got tired of watching her daughter search for herself in curricula that barely acknowledged she existed. So, she built something better, something research-based, standards-aligned, and joyful.

No busywork. No retrofitting. Just learning that lands.

Our mission is to give children experiences that nurture curiosity and spark joyful discovery while celebrating who they are.

In Kidogoville, your children learn meaningful lessons wrapped in adventures reflecting the beauty of our communities.
