Ellen Baker, LMSW

Hi! I’m Ellen Baker, LMSW. I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change. While I welcome clients across the lifespan, I have a particular interest in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing life transitions, neurodivergence, emotional or behavioral challenges, substance use concerns, and co-occurring mental health needs.
My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I recognize that family, relationships, culture, environment, and life experiences can all influence mental health and well-being. Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals, incorporating approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
With a background in behavioral health and recovery-oriented services, as well as experience as a Certified Peer Support Specialist, I bring additional insight into substance use, recovery, and co-occurring concerns.
My goal is to provide a genuine, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move forward; one step at a time.

Lauren Feliciano-Nieles, LMFT

Hi, I’m Lauren, a Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals (15+), couples, and families who are navigating challenges with mood, anxiety, trauma, family of origin, relationships, and neurodivergence. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and rooted in empathy. I’m passionate about creating space for healing that feels both powerful and fun, where growth and joy can exist side by side. I draw from evidence-based practices rooted in family systems and trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll build insight and practical tools you can use in your daily life.
