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.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I work with women who are used to being the person everyone else can count on but often struggle to give themselves that same care. You may find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, feeling guilty when you set a boundary, overthinking whether someone is upset with you, or constantly putting other people's feelings and needs ahead of your own. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, questioning yourself, or wondering when you lost touch with who you are and what you need. I help women struggling with people-pleasing, low self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and trauma understand and heal the deeper wounds and patterns that keep them stuck. My goal isn't to teach you to stop caring about other people or become someone you're not. I want to help you learn how to care about others without continually abandoning yourself in the process. Together, we'll work toward helping you trust yourself, strengthen your voice, set healthier boundaries without being consumed by guilt, develop greater self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost while you were busy being who everyone else needed you to be.

Dr. Katerina Nair
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I believe therapy starts with having a safe place where you can be heard, understood, and accepted without judgment; a place where you can explore your experience, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to heal. I work with people navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and anything else that may be causing distress, and I’m especially interested in how our past experiences and attachment patterns influence the way we relate to ourselves and the people around us. I believe the relationship we build in therapy can become a place when you feel safe exploring difficult things and work toward greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

Dr. Lauren Chase
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH
You may look successful on the outside, capable, responsible, the person everyone relies on, but inside, you feel exhausted from carrying so much. Many of the women I work with learned early to manage other people’s emotions while ignoring their own. If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, you may now struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, and guilt every time you try to set a boundary. I help high-achieving women connect the dots between their family patterns and their current stress so they can stop over-functioning, trust themselves, and feel calmer and more grounded in their daily lives.
