About Fern & Feather

We're Nicole and Kiera — friends, colleagues, and the founders of Fern & Feather. We bring different strengths and specialties, united by one mission: helping you heal and thrive.

Why We Started Fern & Feather

We met in graduate school and quickly realized we shared the same vision: mental health care that treats the whole person, not just a checklist of symptoms. We believed clients deserve more than clinical transactions — they deserve real relationships, genuine connection, and yes, even humor along the way. We wanted to create a practice that was inclusive and welcoming to all people, regardless of identity or background.

Why "Fern & Feather"? Ferns represent roots and groundedness — the stability and safety you need to heal. Feathers represent lightness, rising, and lifting toward your highest potential. Together, they capture what we hope therapy helps you achieve: rooted in healing, rising into who you're meant to be.
