Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some people come to therapy carrying years of pain they have never had the words for. Others come in the middle of a crisis, trying to hold themselves or their family together. Wherever you are starting from, this is a place where you do not have to minimize what you are going through or rush toward being okay.
I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families facing some of the hardest things a person can face — trauma, intense emotions, self-harm, depression, and the kind of suffering that does not show up neatly on the outside. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in treatments that actually work. I will not shy away from the hard stuff, and I will not ask you to be further along than you are.
If you are ready to start, or just ready to ask a question, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, ACS, CST
Hi, I’m Tammy Wagstaff, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hardest moments. I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation—one where you don’t have to filter your thoughts or carry the weight alone. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and grounded in real-life strategies that support healing and growth.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or questions around intimacy and identity, I create a nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s going on and move toward feeling more connected—to yourself and to others.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. If you're ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Lauren Feliciano Nieles
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership. My approach is collaborative, mindful, and holistic. I focus on understanding who you are at your core. I offer a space that is warm and gentle, while also providing honest feedback when it’s helpful, so you and your family can feel supported in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with children and teens, adults, and couples who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, relationship stress, and life transitions. I support clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for meaningful change.
