We're Nicole and Kiera — friends, colleagues, and co-founders of Fern & Feather Counseling and Wellness. With a common vision and a shared passion for integrative, affirming care, we created this space to offer something different.
Nicole brings a PhD in Biology to her work, integrating her knowledge of physiology and neurobiology to support clients in a grounded, whole-person way. She is trauma trained, a trauma-certified yoga instructor, and has clinical experience with couples, individuals, groups, and parent training. Kiera excels at working with clients navigating OCD, anxiety, and depression, drawing from a range of approaches including art therapy and ERP. Together, we offer care that is evidence-informed, creative, and deeply human.
We're not your typical therapy practice. Here's what sets us apart.
We address mind, body, and relationships — not just symptoms. We collaborate with massage therapists, nutritionists, dance therapists, and other wellness providers for whole-person care.
Our approach is grounded in research, not trends. We use interventions proven to work.
Woman-owned practice. We create space for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse folks, and everyone in between. You don't have to shrink to fit in here.
You're the expert on your life. We bring clinical expertise. Together, we create change.
From CBT to somatic therapy to IFS, we use cutting-edge methods for lasting results.
Warmth and humor included. Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical or cold.
We believe in treating the whole person through collaboration with nutritionists, bodyworkers, and movement specialists.
Safety and trust come first. Every interaction is designed to support nervous system regulation and healing.
