Hi, I’m Dr. Samoya Henry-Pierre-Louis, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who is passionate about helping individuals heal and grow. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families, particularly those navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, while also being direct, honest, and goal-oriented. I use a Christ-centered lens in my work and welcome clients who value incorporating their faith into the healing process.
Following my Ph.D., I received four years of advanced postdoctoral training at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, MA. Working four times a week with clients suffering from severe personality, dissociative, and psychotic disorders gave me a profound respect for the human capacity to both suffer and heal as well as experience extreme vulnerability and resilience. Working with the most severely troubled allows me to work comfortably with a wide range of clients across the diagnostic spectrum.

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State. I graduated with my Master's Degree in Social Work in May 2019 and became licensed in September 2019. Since then, I have worked full time in outpatient community mental health. Through out my education and employment, I have specialized in working with adults with co-occurring disorders (mental health and addiction). I am currently working with individuals 18+.
I provide compassionate, collaborative care for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your treatment.
My style is warm, practical, and patient-centered. I work with you to better understand what you are experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. With my background in both mental health and family practice, I take a whole-person approach to care that supports both emotional well-being and overall wellness.
I am Dr. Felice Harris, a dedicated therapist, personal and professional coach, and early childhood education leader. I hold graduate degrees in Social Work and Early Childhood Education Leadership, along with a doctorate in education. As a licensed psychotherapist, I am trained in several evidence based practices and pedagogy to support meaningful, practical change.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and my background blends clinical skills in both counseling and nursing. I have years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, identity questions, and major life transitions.
I’m a clear communicator and bring emotional steadiness and the ability to understand people quickly to my work.
In my practice, I work primarily with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply, break long‐standing patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives. I have extensive experience supporting clients who struggle with self‐criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, and the lingering impact of family dynamics. I also work with high‐functioning professionals to help them maximize their insights, achieve balance, and unlock their potential.
Outside of my clinical work, I’m grounded by a long, loving marriage, a close circle of friends, and a life that includes equal parts structure and humor. I’m a dog person, someone who values connection and curiosity, and I try to show up fully in the relationships that matter. These parts of my life shape the way I practice: with steadiness, clarity, and a genuine respect for the complexity of being human.
I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in practical tools that create meaningful change. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and ADHD.
I aim to create a space where you can show up fully — without judgment — while also being gently challenged toward growth. Therapy with me is not just about talking through problems; it’s about building awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing skills that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My style is warm, direct, and supportive. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions. Whether you’re working through past experiences or trying to manage current stressors, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while still encouraging progress.
I am especially passionate about helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of purpose. My goal is to support you in honoring who you are while discovering who you’re becoming.
