Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often comment on my intuition and presence with them. As a therapist who focuses on building authentic relationships, it is one of my strengths. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood. It is an honor to share my clients' experiences with them and go on this therapeutic journey together. Rooted in knowledge and experience, I support healing and growth while guiding clients toward a more whole and compassionate sense of self.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer a trauma assessment, EMDR treatment, and IFS to support processing past trauma (including chronic and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment.
