Meet with Our Clinicians
Felicha Laforest
I have always had a desire to help other and as a result I have fifteen years experience working with children and families in urban communities at different stages in my life. That passion lead me to pursue a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University. I am currently in practice in the Boston area where I specialize in working with children, families, couples, individuals suffering from trauma, and working with individuals of color. I am fortunate at this time to have the ability to grow this practice and work with several talented clinicians/therapist dedicated to offering quality services in the Boston area.
Molly Schineller
Molly Schineller is a passionate mental health professional offering supervised therapy under the guidance of Felicha Laforest, MS, LMHC. I am currently completing graduate training at Northwestern University towards becoming a fully licensed mental health counselor. My trauma-informed therapeutic style is tailored to each individual’s needs, drawing from modalities including person-centered, solution-focused, and psychodynamic theory. It is my top priority to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment for my clients to share and process the feelings that arise in day-to-day life and in more challenging circumstances. I look forward to working alongside you with warmth, empathy, and compassionate care.
Lara Hardy-Braz
I am a current student at Northwestern University. I am pursuing my Masters in Counseling and I'm excited to put the skills I’ve learned to good use. I pride myself on creating a safe space where people of all backgrounds can come and discuss what’s been on their mind. My approach is influenced by Person-Centered and Psychodynamic therapies and I’m particularly interested in how movement and nature can influence the healing process. If it sounds like I could be helpful to you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Chloe Thum
My name is Chloe and I'm completing my graduate training at Northwestern University towards becoming a fully licensed mental health counselor. I believe therapy is about more than just solving problems—it’s about understanding the story behind them. I work from a psychodynamic lens, which means I’m interested in how past experiences—especially the ones we may not even realize shaped us—can influence how we show up in the present. Sometimes, our patterns, reactions, or emotional blocks don’t quite make sense until we look at them through the lens of earlier relationships, unspoken needs, or the roles we had to play growing up. I also have a deep appreciation for dream work and the subconscious. I believe our minds are always trying to tell us something—sometimes in symbols, images, or gut feelings. If you’re someone who’s ever woken up thinking, “What was that about?”, we might make a good team. My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in curiosity. Some days might feel more structured and focused; other times, we might follow where the energy leads. I value the flexibility to meet you where you are, while also holding space for the goals and themes that matter to you. Above all, I see people as the experts of their own experience. Whether you’re processing old wounds, navigating new transitions, or simply trying to make sense of yourself, my job is to support you—not to fix you. I bring honesty, attunement, and genuine care into the room. I’m also a real person—with stories of my own—and while I may not have lived through what you’ve lived through, I approach your experience with respect, curiosity, and zero judgment. If you’re looking for a space that invites reflection, deeper understanding, and meaningful connection—I’d be honored to work with you.
