Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I believe healing takes place when the core of the emotions/feelings is identified and then expressed. Our emotions and behavior are mostly covered and protected to avoid pain. There is no healing without feeling the pain but it's only temporary. Once the pain is felt and released the door for Joy has opened. I also use EFT, Spirituality and Energy Healing as it complements the process of therapy.

Allaire Ross
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My name is Allaire Ross, I often work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, depression, or relationship difficulties. My approach integrates CBT with an attachment-focused lens to help you understand the patterns—both behavioral and relational—that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll explore these patterns with warmth, curiosity, and a bit of humor, while building practical skills you can use in your daily life. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and somatic mindfulness practices, I aim to help you create a tangible toolbox for emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and stronger relationships. The goal isn’t just insight—it’s meaningful, lasting change that extends well beyond the therapy room.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a New York based LCSW with a passion and a vigor for helping others on their mental health journey. My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion where one of my main goals is making sure my client feel as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one size fits all and the approach used with each client individually should reflect this. I help each client articulate their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of what is causing their depression/anxiety/stress/unhappiness. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, taking interest in the clients cultural background and experiences and tailoring a therapeutic modality that is the best fit for them.
Just like therapy, healing is also not a one size fits all and I understand that making the first steps into therapy, and towards that healing, may have been a difficult decision and I applaud your courage for making that first step. With your desire for change and my commitment to support and empower you, we will navigate a pace that works best for you to strengthen all aspects of your body and mind and the connection they have to each other.
