Our Therapists
Meet Our Team
Our approach here at East Coast Mental Wellness differs in that we let you choose your therapist, giving you the say in who you want to work with. In your initial 15-minute consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet one of our therapists and decide if they are a good fit for you to move forward with. If not, our team will work to reconnect you with a different therapist until you feel comfortable to schedule a consultation and get your therapy journey started. Meet our therapists in-person at our Providence, RI office and online with our telehealth services

CAITLIN GAYLES SHE/HER/HERS
Caitlin is extremely interested in learning more about other people and diverse clients. She enjoys helping people become their best selves and change for the better.

JENNIFER RIOUX SHE/HER/HERS
My name is Jen and I am currently a student in the Master’s Mental Health Counseling program at Johnson in Wales. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education – Mathematics with a minor in Psychology from Rhode Island College. I have four years of experience working with adolescents in the field of education, and I look forward to transferring some of these skills to counseling for all ages. I believe the foundation of therapy is based on an empathic, authentic, and collaborative relationship. With this support, it is possible to maneuver the challenges that come with experiencing life and to live your truest self. My hope as a counselor is to give the opportunity of growth and hope to others who may feel stuck, unhappy, hurt, etc.
In my free time I enjoy playing sports, reading, and spending time with the people and pets that I love.”.
ALICIA LANE SHE/HER/HERS
Working collaboratively with people and their stories as a filmmaker is what drew me to the field of mental health. I believe in the power of our own stories, experiences and perspectives to help us identify strengths and work through our problems. Personal areas of interest include helping clients navigate relationships, life transitions, grief, depression, identity issues, substance use, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues and trans affirming care
