Are you a high-achieving woman who looks successful on the outside but feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled inside? Do you find yourself procrastinating, doubting your abilities, or striving for perfection, only to fall short of your own expectations? If you’re tired of self-sabotaging patterns holding you back, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you break free from these self-defeating patterns and together we’ll explore the underlying causes of your self-sabotage, uncover your inner strengths, and develop practical strategies to empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity. Andrea Kupferman has over 11 years of clinical experience, helping her clients identify and HEAL the ROOT causes of their symptoms. She helps clients through a very strategic approach - focusing on these 5 main life themes: SAFETY; TRUST; POWER AND CONTROL; SELF-ESTEEM; INTIMACY. Because Andrea's approach is holistic (we work with the MIND + BODY) and structured (this is for the woman who is ready to really learn about herself and make INTENTIONAL and LONG-LASTING changes in her life) she works with her client's on a shorter term basis (between 6-12 months). If you are ready to heal, show up with an open mind and are ready to learn more about yourself in a safe space, let's connect. Within a secure space, you will be able to explore the hidden/wounded parts of yourself; becoming more aware of your life-long patterns. This will allow you to become more intentional about your choices. With the tools you learn in therapy, you will heal and begin to embody the most AUTHENTIC, CONNECTED, and JOYFUL version of yourself.

With a Masters in Psychology from the Florida International University, I am currently licensed as a Mental Health Counselor and practicing in the State of Florida, where I hold both in-person and virtual sessions. My clients have a wide range of needs, so I tailor my sessions to them. As a result, they benefit from different treatment methods depending on the situation, such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), which addresses negative thinking, or mindfulness, which focuses on the present moment. I also have a number of tools that can facilitate deeper learning and change within your sessions. With several years of experience treating a wide range of mental health issues, I'm sure we can establish a good therapeutic relationship. In addition, I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced complex trauma, such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, incest, or who have suffered from serious illness. I also have experience with anxiety disorders, marital issues, acculturation, and adjustment disorders.

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That's how we become empowered . That's how we grow. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety, relationship issues or depression. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding and respect. And I will use the latest evidence-based techniques to support you in your journey Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

My decision to become a therapist was based on my need to restart my life more happily and healthily a little over 10 years ago.

Hi, and welcome to my page. I appreciate you taking the time to read this bio. Finding someone you can truly connect with is daunting and difficult at times, and I want all my clients to feel that their time and challenging circumstances matter. Perhaps you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed with the requirements of “adulting”, raising kids, or just finding your place in this vast universe. Maybe you are struggling with your self-worth, feel that you don’t fit in with societal norms, placing such high standards on yourself, dealing with fluctuating moods, emotions, anxiety, chronic pain, autoimmune illnesses, or trauma. Together, we can work on identifying what may be hindering your potential, work on coping or stress management techniques, and overcome those pesky thoughts that may be taking you two steps back instead of moving forward. This is your journey, and I will be here to support you. My approach is eclectic, holistic, and sometimes goofy, depending on the situation we are discussing. I love to incorporate pop/geek culture and superhero metaphors into the therapeutic process if it fits our dynamic. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a qualified supervisor in the Sunshine State, with experiences in sexual assault, domestic violence, hospice, substance abuse, medical social work, emergency room social work, case management, community mental health, mentoring, job coaching, and career readiness. I have therapeutically worked with clients struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I am a mother of three, USCG veteran, a spouse to a US Navy veteran, and a self-proclaimed nerd. I’ve also been in your shoes before, having sought support in my own difficult times. We all experience unique challenges, but we don’t have to go through them alone. I look forward to accompanying you on your mental wellness journey!

My name is Algelis Gonzalez, though I am commonly known as Al. My motivation to become a therapist stems from my personal journey. Growing up in a Latino culture, I developed a curiosity about people both within my community and beyond. This curiosity has driven me to understand the reasons behind our behaviors, both positive and negative. Throughout my career as a therapist, I continue to learn and grow, drawing from the vast knowledge available in the field. I am deeply committed to helping my clients embrace their true selves, regardless of their personality traits—whether they are humorous, quiet and shy, hesitant to trust, or feeling frustrated with the world. I believe that everyone is welcome in my practice. Recognizing that none of us are perfect and that we are all striving to make sense of life’s complexities, I focus on exploring my clients’ experiences with respect and understanding. My goal is to facilitate their growth in ways they may not have previously thought possible.

I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.

Congratulations on beginning the journey to becoming a better you. If you are ready to take the first step, I am here to support and empower you. I am a Bilingual (English-Spanish ) holistic and eclectic Licensed Therapist. When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life. I am excited to get to know you, understand your individual goals, and help you not only achieve but maintain them. I look forward to working with you!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Trauma and PTSD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Florida that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
