For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate life’s many challenges. I use an eclectic approach, which simply means I pull from different types of therapy models depending on what fits each person best. No two people are the same, so together we’ll find tools and approaches that work for your life and goals. Sometimes that looks like building new coping skills, sometimes it’s unpacking trauma, and sometimes it’s just having a space where you can fully be yourself. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space where clients feel truly heard, seen and understood. Together, we can explore patterns, uncover strengths, and build strategies for lasting change. I believe therapy is not just about addressing struggles, it’s about cultivating growth, resilience, and self-discovery. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey.

It truly is nice to see you. I am Dr. Tinai James, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the founder of a practice dedicated to the next generation of high-achievers. With over seven years of experience in major healthcare systems, I specialize in supporting youth, teens, and BIPOC college students as they navigate the heavy weight of expectation and major life transitions. My approach is built on the RCB Framework™: Rooted, Culture-First, and Brave. I believe therapy should be a Brave Space where you don’t have to code-switch to be heard. Whether you are a student facing the "identity shift" of campus life or a parent seeking a therapist who understands your family’s cultural background, my goal is to provide clinical expertise that feels relevant to your real life. In our sessions, we combine PhD-level clinical science with practical, goal-oriented strategies. We will work together to tackle anxiety and social pressure while building the cultural confidence you need to thrive. I am currently licensed to see clients in Georgia and 22+ states via PSYPACT, offering high-energy, modern care that honors exactly who you are. Let’s build your brave.

I love working with young professionals struggling with burnout, compassion fatigue, and impostor syndrome. I assist individuals in overcoming anxiety, depression, and addictions tied to childhood or adult trauma. While therapy can be challenging, it can also be a fun and creative journey. I work best with clients who have a growth mind set and are not afraid to try new things. I am open minded and love to help people from from diverse backgrounds.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been carrying anxiety, trauma, or stress on your own for a long time. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to move forward, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I work with adults and teens who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll explore what’s been shaping your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, while building practical tools to help you feel more regulated, confident, and empowered in daily life.

Welcome. If you’re feeling frozen, avoidant, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone — and therapy can help.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who helps people break free from the cycles that keep them stuck. My work focuses on resolving long-standing patterns, untangling internal conflicts, and reconnecting you with a sense of clarity, meaning, and vitality.

Hi, I’m Lainie, a licensed clinical social worker. You may notice that certain experiences continue to show up in your body, emotions, or reactions, even when you try to respond differently. This can affect how you handle stress, how close you feel to others, or how anxious you feel day to day. I work with adults who feel worn down by these patterns and want to feel less burdened by past experiences of trauma. I’m trained in EMDR, a therapy that helps reduce how strongly the past shows up in the present, so it doesn’t keep shaping your reactions in the same ways. Rather than only talking through experiences, EMDR focuses on helping your mind and body respond differently, which can bring relief that feels more lasting.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California, Florida, and Tennessee, providing psychotherapy to individuals seeking meaningful, lasting change. My clinical training includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy. I take an integrative, eclectic approach—thoughtfully tailoring each treatment plan to the unique needs, history, personality, and goals of the person in front of me. My areas of specialization include death and dying, grief and loss, traumatic experiences, serious mental health conditions, and mood disorders. I have extensive experience working with complex presentations, including trauma-related disorders, complicated grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Clients often seek me out when they are feeling stuck despite previous therapy, looking for a depth-oriented yet practical approach that integrates evidence-based interventions with insight, meaning-making, and nervous system regulation. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2014 and have continued to refine my clinical focus through advanced training, consultation, and ongoing professional development. My work is grounded in both neuroscience and compassion—balancing structured, results-oriented strategies with warmth, attunement, and respect for each client’s pace. In our work together, you can expect a space that is direct yet supportive, reflective yet action-oriented. I value measurable progress, collaborative goal setting, and empowering clients with tools they can use beyond the therapy room. I am currently in private practice, serving clients in Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as well as providing virtual therapy throughout Tennessee and California. My Good Life Therapy is a whole-person-centered practice grounded in the belief that healing involves the mind, body, relationships, and deeper sense of meaning. While I primarily offer virtual sessions for accessibility and flexibility, I may accommodate in-person meetings in select cases.

https://sherryyamlcsw.com Hi, I am a trauma consultant who graduated from the University of Southern California, with years of culturally diverse EMDR therapy experience since 2011. My expertise is to tailor research-supported EMDR therapy with highly successful expat, AAPI professionals (e.g. Journalists, Actors, Scientists, Corporate Leaders, Producers, First Responders) who experience a Medical Related Trauma, Fear of Flying, Stage Fright, Phobia, Unprocessed Grief, car accidents, wild fires, War Trauma or Cultural Issues. I received my trauma training at the National Center for PTSD and the EMDR Trauma Recovery Humanitarian Assistance Program. In our society, we overlook the necessity of trauma work for our highly successful leaders. Many of my clients come to me are specifically looking for EMDR therapy to resolve barriers so they can be a better leader and find a better work-life balance. Others come to me for EMDR therapy after they tried talk therapy for years and didn’t see the progress they hope for.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist, complemented by my background as a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. My clinical training includes a Master’s in Social Work with a focus on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, which informs my understanding of how diverse life experiences shape individuals’ perspectives and interactions with their environments. This foundation allows me to approach therapy with cultural humility and a deep appreciation for the complexities of identity and systemic influences. In my practice, I utilize a person-centered, solution-focused approach that prioritizes client autonomy and self-determination. I collaborate closely with clients to identify their unique challenges and barriers, empowering them to develop realistic and meaningful short-term and long-term goals. Together, we explore and optimize the therapeutic tools that clients have already been using, while considering the introduction of additional strategies when appropriate. My goal is to support clients in creating actionable plans that align with their values and aspirations, fostering resilience and sustainable growth in both their present lives and future endeavors.
