Our Team
Jen Mossefin, LCSW, LCAS, CCS-I
EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and CIT (she/her)
I have a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from UNC- Chapel Hill with a special focus on adult mental health and substance abuse. I really enjoy supporting clients as they work through Self-Worth Issues, Trauma and Coping Skills. I also have experience working with Substance Use Disorders, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Phobias and Mood Disorders.
I work with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, and am happy to provide letters for gender affirming medical care. My therapeutic philosophy includes an integrated approach, using mindfulness, specifically Mindful Self-Compassion, working with the body/mind connection, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I really enjoy working with other therapists, and have strong compassion and wonder at the resilience and hope that are possible for each of us.

Dolores Chandler, MSW, LCSWA
EMDR Trained
(they/ them)
Accepting New Clients
Do you struggle to feel like you belong or carry the weight of systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world not built with you in mind? I support clients in healing from trauma, building a sense of home within themselves, and creating meaningful, authentic lives. I work from a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming perspective and specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and BIPoC individuals, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, and those navigating burnout or workplace oppression. I am trained in EMDR and integrate it with other therapeutic approaches to support trauma healing and foster a sense of dignity, empowerment, and personal sovereignty. My work centers practical tools for self-care, grounded presence, and long-term wellbeing. I have a special interest in working with trans, gender-expansive, or femme folks in leadership roles seeking to lead with integrity amidst complex racial and gender dynamics. My approach includes unlearning internalized white supremacy and gender norms tied to leadership, exploring power dynamics, and cultivating inner resilience.

Chandra Yoder Aikawa, MSW, LCSWA (she/ her)
EMDR Trained
End of Life Doula
Accepting New Clients
I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University, with a concentration in clinical practice with children and families. My background and interests include work in domestic violence, family court issues, complex trauma, issues related to aging, grief and loss, medical social work, postpartum support, and support around the end of life. I’m interested in supporting parents in the transition to parenthood, as well as in the other transitions and challenges that occur throughout the life span of parenting. I’m also trained as an end of life doula for both people and companion animals, and am particularly interested in providing support in processing grief around pet loss.
I am EMDR trained, and my therapeutic approach is informed by a strengths-based perspective, a person-centered philosophy, and a continued striving for awareness of intersectional, environmental and systemic factors that come into play. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I take a warm, nonjudgmental, supportive and collaborative approach to working together.

Meg Higgins, MSW, LCSW
ACT and EMDR Trained
(they/ them)
Accepting New Clients
Hi! I'm Meg. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have 9 years of clinical experience and have been trained in multiple modalities including EMDR. I am deeply committed to undoing the systems of oppression around us and believe that the therapy room is one place to start that work.
My main areas of therapeutic expertise are around gender/sexuality and around fatness from a fat liberation perspective. I also have clinical experience with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Illness, Depression, Eating Disorders, Gender Dysphoria, OCD, and PTSD.
I particularly welcome fat participants and participants who have diverse genders and sexualities. I am kink and poly affirming.
I offer at least two free letters per month for folks needing letters for Gender Affirming Surgery. If you need a letter please reach out, and let our Admin know to connect you.
You deserve a therapist who approaches the world with a solid, intersectional, social justice framework, that sees society, rather than some flaw in you, as the central piece of your problem. I can be that therapist. I’m fat, I’m queer, I have an intersectional lens, and I want to dismantle systems of oppression one client session at a time.
