Felicia Herrero

Felicia Herrero

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi! I am Felicia. I am a LCSW in the State of New Jersey as well as a PMH-C (certified by postpartum support international). I transitioned from working with adults & teens to also expanding to working with women experiencing PMAD (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in 2024 as well. My ideal client is a young adult or woman experiencing a difficult time in their life or in motherhood. I love empowering & educating clients to overcome these difficulties. My ideal client is looking for a therapist who does not judge them, is caring, and is dynamic in the therapeutic process while cheering them on!

My calling to working with young adults and mothers is my own life experiences. I have made it my mission to stay up to date with the best continuing education, and resources in order to empower my clients. Many of my clients feel more confident in working together after the initial few sessions. I want my clients to feel HOPEFUL about their future.

It can be so difficult to ask for help. I would love to have that be the hardest part of the process of working together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and not feel judged by anything you need to share. I strive to make therapy a space that you feel challenged enough to grow but safe enough to be vulnerable in the process. Let's grow!

Luke Hayslip

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

Maybe you’ve reached a point where you know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure what that change looks like. You may be struggling with anxiety or stress, questioning yourself, going through a major life transition, or finding it difficult to feel confident and connected in your relationships. I work with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves, break patterns that no longer serve them, and feel more balanced and purposeful in their everyday lives. I believe mental health is about more than simply getting through difficult moments. It’s also about building the self-awareness and confidence to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Therapist

Long lasting change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves. It can be incredibly challenging to focus on our own emotional life and internal experience. I provide a warm, supportive space to explore and process whatever is on your mind. I have extensive experience engaging in psychotherapy with adults facing a wide range of life experiences, from managing depression, to adapting to major life changes, to facing grief after loss of a loved one.

Mary Goggins

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.

With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.

My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.

I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.
