Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I believe that the work we do with others is deeply influenced by the work we are willing to do within ourselves. My own healing journey has profoundly shaped the therapist I am today. I have experienced my own process of moving through old patterns, becoming more deeply connected to myself, learning to listen to my body and intuition, and discovering that healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to who we truly are. I consider myself both a therapist and an intuitive healer and guide. I bring my clinical training and professional experience together with a deep trust in intuition, the wisdom of the body, and the idea that there is often more happening beneath the surface than what we can immediately see or explain. I pay attention not only to what you tell me, but also to what I sense may be asking for attention within the therapeutic space.
My hope is that you feel deeply seen, heard, and accepted when you are with me. You do not need to have the right words, understand exactly what is wrong, or arrive with everything figured out. We can begin wherever you are.
I feel honored to walk alongside people during some of the most vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives. I don't see myself as someone who has all the answers, but rather as someone who can help you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know the way forward.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.

Leslie Bowman, Holistic Psychotherapist
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, Over 20 years of successful experience
Are you ready for a deeper, more meaningful approach to healing? If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, whether due to trauma, a major life transition, or ongoing emotional challenges- you’re not alone. My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. Rather than focusing only on surface-level concerns, I offer a holistic, integrative approach designed to support lasting transformation. By addressing the mind, body, and inner self as interconnected systems, we create space for deeper healing and sustainable change.
With over 20 years of experience, I support clients through a wide range of challenges, including: Trauma and PTSD, Anxiety and depression, Relationship and modern dating issues, narcissistic abuse, divorce, Grief and loss, ADHD and addiction, Eating and personality disorders, Life transitions, career development, and purpose after retirement.
My background includes a Master’s degree along with advanced study in neuroscience, nutrition, and epigenetics—allowing me to bring a well-rounded, informed perspective to our work together. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you. Every session is designed around your unique needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.
