Our Story
NEST was founded with a single mission: to create a warm, inclusive, and innovative space where people can find genuine healing and live more authentic lives.
Founded on Connection
Therapy at NEST was founded by Erica Siegal, LCSW, with a vision of building a group practice that prioritizes genuine human connection, innovative treatment, and radical inclusivity.
The name NEST reflects our core belief: that healing happens in a place of safety, warmth, and belonging. We've built that place — both physically in Los Angeles and Santa Clarita, and virtually across California, Texas, and Colorado.
Our team of 10 licensed and associate therapists brings a wealth of specializations and backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to evidence-based, compassionate, and culturally responsive care.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Trauma-Informed
We recognize the widespread impact of trauma and integrate this understanding into every aspect of care.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming
All identities, expressions, and relationship structures are welcomed, celebrated, and affirmed.
Harm Reduction
We meet people where they are, without judgment — especially around substance use and alternative healing.
Evidence-Based
Our clinicians use proven, research-backed modalities while honoring the uniqueness of each client.
