Meet Our Clinicians

  • Sandra Butler, LICSW

    I have had the pleasure of working with diverse populations in school settings, hospitals, non-profit agencies, and mental health clinics. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who are faced with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am a down-to-earth active listener who strives to create a safe, relaxed, and honest environment for my clients and their families. I have had the most success using a relational and strength based, solution-focused approach with clients.

  • Melissa Varrecchia, LCSW

    I am passionate about teaching others how to interpret and operate their emotions as a strength, rather than a hinderance. I draw from experience working with children and families in various settings. I specialize in perinatal mental health, postpartum mood changes, couples, career, and adoption. I enjoy supporting others in managing their moods, improving their communication, and increasing their confidence in decision making. I have a compassionate, intuitive approach that is holistic and practical. This means that we will explore various aspects that could be impacting your well-being, including physical health, trauma, childhood experiences, and work/life balance. I will offer feedback to empower you to grow and make changes at your own pace so that you can reach your personal goals.

  • Lauren Folloni, LICSW

    With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, I help adults navigate life's twists and turns. I specialize in the life transitions faced by young adults, women's issues and women's health, military and first responders and their partners, and intuitive eating/health at every size. I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment, alongwith resources and tools designed to help you heal, thrive, and live your best life.

  • Olivia Easton, MSW

    Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported — especially when life feels hard to navigate.

    I help young people navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and difficulties at school or with peers. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming space where children and teens can express themselves freely, learn to cope with life’s stressors, and build the confidence to grow into their full selves.

    I typically work with children and adolescents ages 6 to 18, and I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating — not just for kids, but for caregivers too. I strive to create a welcoming, developmentally appropriate space where young people feel respected, supported, and empowered. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and deeply client-centered. I often incorporate creative strategies like art, storytelling, play, and movement to keep sessions engaging and meaningful — especially for kids who may struggle to express themselves through traditional talk therapy.

    I also collaborate with caregivers and, when appropriate, school staff to ensure the child receives consistent and individualized support across their environments. My goal is always to advocate for the child’s needs while helping them build the skills to thrive both emotionally and socially.
