Our Therapists

A. Nikki Hilton

Psychologist, PhD, LHSP

“Be curious, not judgmental.”

– Walt Whitman (via Ted Lasso)

At a young age, I knew that I loved listening to people’s stories. This started with my ability to get lost in books, TV shows, and films, and then led to studying theatre. Eventually, I realized how I could combine my passion for stories, the empathy I felt, and the joy I experienced from being a helper – by being a therapist.

As a therapist, I offer an authentic, non-judgmental space, filled with unconditional care and, I guarantee, laughter. I will work with you to establish goals, and, with patience, accomplish the change that you want in your life. I identify strongly as an ally and I have a special interest in codependency recovery; grief therapy, especially the loss of a parent or pet/animal family member; life transitions, such as adjusting to college, a new job, move, or relationship change; men’s issues; LGBTQ+; and the use of Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma recovery.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy providing supervision to therapists-in-training or for licensure; walking and listening to audiobooks, just about any kind of music, and podcasts; ridiculously decorating my house for various holidays; spending time with my partner and 14-year-old Basset Hound; cooking; and binge-watching TV shows.

Chandra Feltman

Psychologist, PhD, LHSP

“Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway.”

– Glennon Doyle

As your therapist, one of my main priorities is establishing a connection where you feel safe enough to show up as you. In that effort, I strive to bring authenticity, non-judgmental understanding, and good humor to every session I share with a client. I think above everything, I can offer you a space to be heard and validated yet challenged and empowered — A space to show up exactly where you are, while growing toward where you want to go.

I enjoy working with a variety of concerns and have particular interest and training in trauma recovery, family/relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and aim for my office to be a place where all clients feel secure and connected. My approach is person-centered and rooted in attachment theory, while also utilizing techniques from DBT, ACT, and EMDR when appropriate.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, seeing live music, cooking, binging Real Housewives (we said this was a safe space, right?!), and cuddling my 100 lb Great Pyrenees, Iggy Pup.
