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.

5 Pointes Wellness
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.

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.

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. 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.
