Nicole DeMarco
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you constantly giving to others while quietly carrying anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt? Do you notice yourself people-pleasing, feeling nervous in relationships, or worrying about letting down the people you care about? On the outside, everything may seem fine, but inside you may long to feel secure, confident, and more like yourself. You don’t have to face this alone. There is a way forward, and we’ll navigate it together, with me supporting you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe trauma-informed space. Using mindfulness and somatic practices, we’ll work to help you feel empowered and more connected to yourself. You’ll leave sessions feeling seen, understood, and equipped with practical tools to care for yourself and deepen your connections with others.
If you are an adult, especially a woman in your 20s or 30s, seeking compassionate individualized support, you are in the right place. Reach out today for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Your path to healing and self discovery starts here.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Have you ever thought, "I know why I do this... so why do I keep doing it?" Many of my clients have been to therapy before, gained valuable insight, and learned coping skills, yet still find themselves repeating the same emotional and relationship patterns. If you're ready to move beyond understanding yourself intellectually and get to the root of what's keeping you stuck, I'd love to help.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Confronting pain takes bravery and self-awareness, but you don't have to do it alone. With the right support, meaningful, lasting change is possible.
I've run a private practice since 2016, drawing on a blend of Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This means I can work practically, with clear tools and strategies, while also exploring the deeper narratives and beliefs that shape how you see yourself and others.
My approach is relational and collaborative. I work with empathy to help you examine the stories you carry, about yourself and, where relevant, about others. Many clients arrive having built strong defences over years, often shaped by difficult upbringings or unresolved trauma. My role is to create a space where those defences can soften enough for real change to take hold.
Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I spent over 20 years as Director of my own company. That experience gives me genuine insight into the pressures of professional and business life, and I often work with people who are highly successful by external measures but privately struggling, helping them navigate what success alone doesn't resolve.
