When people find out she is a therapist, Niro Feliciano knows she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. At soccer games, at cocktail parties, in waiting rooms, people corner her and ask: Why am I so stressed? Is the way I feel normal? Why can't I just be happy? Niro is a wife, mom of four children and an Ivy League-trained therapist in private practice for the last 15 years. She is the co-founder and co-director of Integrative Counseling and Wellness Group in Wilton, CT. Niro is often featured in Parents Magazine, Today's Parents, NBC News, Fox 61 and Cheddar TV sharing her expertise on mental health and relationships.
