Jacqueline L. Franciscus, LPC
FOUNDER, CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Welcome! I'm Jackie, and I'm dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals navigating the exciting yet challenging journey of young adulthood, college life, and the unique experiences of women, children, and teens. I'm not just a therapist; I'm your partner in personal growth and well-being. With a warm smile and an open heart, I bring a blend of professional expertise and genuine care to my practice. My passion lies in helping young adults find their footing, supporting college students in their academic and personal challenges, and empowering women, children, and teens to navigate the complexities of life.
I believe in a client-centered, holistic approach that recognizes the individuality of each person. Together, we'll explore your strengths, set achievable goals, and develop coping strategies tailored to your unique needs. My office is a judgment-free zone where you can express yourself freely, knowing that you are heard and understood.
Embarking on a journey towards personal growth and well-being can be both exciting and challenging. With me as your guide, we'll navigate this path together, celebrating victories and overcoming obstacles along the way. If you're ready to take the first step, I'm here and eager to support you.
I am the proud mother of two and an Orangetheory Fitness enthusiast. You will often find me with a vanilla latte in hand, listening to country music, or watching The Office. I enjoy traveling and exploring the world through the eyes of my children.
Erica L. Natalicchio, LAC
CLINICIAN
Hi, I’m Erica, and I’m glad you’re here!
I specialize in helping adults & teens who are tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and “stuck” in life.
My mission is to help you break the cycle of toxic patterns, build self confidence, and self worth so you can stop overthinking, self sabotaging, and gain the life you deserve.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, and transition points in life, I am here to help you get the change you are looking for. I use an evidenced based approach with a safe, supportive and empowering environment to help you develop the skills you need to find fulfillment in your personal and professional lives.
I received my Masters in Counseling from Loyola University Maryland, and my Undergraduate degree in Psychology from Towson University. I am licensed in New Jersey and Maryland and am here to support you, listen to you, and help you achieve your goals!
I am a mom of two boys, a coffee enthusiast, and love spending time on the beach.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
Aubri R. Kaufman, LAC
CLINICIAN
Hi! My name is Aubri Kaufman (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) who is trained in EMDR.
I believe therapy is a collaborative experience and I feel passionate about my role in supporting you on your unique journey towards growth, healing, and self-acceptance. Whether you’re experiencing major life changes, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or seeking stress management through it all, I’m here to help.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages and approach care through trauma-informed and person-centered lenses to create a comforting, empowering environment. I see clients both in person and remotely to help you fold mental health care into your schedule as seamlessly as possible.
I am an avid reader and spend most of my time consuming as much literature as I can get my hands on. I also enjoy being outdoors with my chickens, goats, honeybees, and tiny human.
Hi, I’m Rhea, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. My passion lies in working with kids, adolescents, and young adults, helping them build emotional resilience and healthier patterns. If you're facing anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and a more fulfilling life.
I believe in the power of a collaborative, safe space where you can be open and authentic. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, and I’ll provide you with practical tools to manage life’s ups and downs. With two Master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania—an M.S.Ed in Mental Health Services and an M.Phil.Ed in Professional Counseling—I approach therapy with a blend of expertise and empathy, using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Structural Family Therapy. My goal is to tailor our work to your unique needs while respecting your background and identity.
When I’m not in session, you can find me indulging in skincare, watching Bollywood movies, or reading contemporary romance and romantic fantasy novels. And yes, I’m always caffeinating with iced coffee—it's my go-to for energy and inspiration!
If you’re ready to take the first step in this journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way, with compassion and understanding. Together, we’ll create the changes you’re seeking and build the life you deserve.
