Meet our Owner and Therapist

Germaine Lawrence, MS, LMFT
Founder & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Hi, I’m Germaine — the owner and heart behind Healing Nest Therapy Services. I created this practice to be a warm, welcoming space where people can breathe, be real, and feel supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families through seasons of growth, healing, and change. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for each person’s story.

I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, heal what hurts, and build the relationships and life you want. Here, you are not just a client. You are a whole person, and you matter.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. We work together to break unhealthy patterns and support you in building a stronger, more loving relationship.

Family Therapy

Family therapy provides a safe environment to strengthen relationships, improve understanding, and resolve conflict. We focus on fostering healthy communication and connection so your family can grow and thrive together.
