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.

Welcome! I'm {Emmanuel Nzuzu}. I want to thank you sincerely for reaching out to me. Congratulations for taking this crucial first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe, structured, and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore challenges and obstacles with concerns related to alcohol and drug addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients to regain control by taking back their power from alcohol and drugs. I facilitate client transformation by assisting them to learn how to be guided by a vision of the future and not memories of the past. My clients often find it beneficial to develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Do you feel like nobody really understands you? Do crowded places leave you overstimulated and drained? Perhaps you avoid social situations, struggle to focus or experience constant mental fog. You might be questioning if you have ADHD or autism, or you might already know and you are seeking someone who understands your experiences. Anxiety might increase with routine changes, leaving you feeling stuck and unable to complete tasks despite your efforts. You may catch yourself wishing to escape or needing someone to truly listen. If you relate to any of this, remember you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself.

I can help people who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression find ways to cope. Those who are struggling with adoption issues may need extra support and assistance as they sort through their feelings. Caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed with life can find a peaceful place to land during our sessions. I particularly enjoy providing Christian-based counseling, as that is an important part of who I am. I believe that laughing about life with my patients can help us explore together what may be on their hearts and minds. NOTE: I can offer in-person sessions on a very limited basis in an office in Orange Park, FL, but I am primarily utilizing the telehealth format. You must be in a setting that is private and has stable internet for our telehealth sessions.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida International University and have been practicing for 6 years. I help adults struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, self-esteem issues, conflict resolution, and development of healthy coping strategies. As a social worker, I take a whole-person approach. I don’t just focus on your symptoms or challenges. I also look at how your environment—like relationships, work, or community affects your well-being. Together, we’ll find ways to improve your overall quality of life.

Hi, I’m Doctor Samuel, a mental health professional here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, ADHD symptoms or simply feeling stuck this is a space where you don’t have to go through it alone. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach grounded in Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means we’ll work together to understand what’s going on, identify what’s working, and build on your natural strengths to create meaningful, lasting shifts. In our work, we’ll focus on practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and create more balance in your daily life. You'll also gain deeper emotional and self-awareness to support your personal growth. Therapy with me is not about fixing you because you’re not broken. It’s about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to navigate life in a way that feels more aligned and grounded. If you’re ready to take that first step toward positive change, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Question: "In what way is a therapist like a pair of shoes?" (Read on for the answer) You deserve to be listened to without judgment, criticism or having to defend yourself. My role as a bilingual (English, Spanish) therapist is to be an active partner providing a non-judgmental environment focusing on your strengths and goals, thus readying you to move in the direction you desire. I provide an integrated approach in a warm, compassionate and supportive setting with creativity and humor. I enjoy delivering services to children, adolescents, and their families. I focus on a variety of issues that include behavioral problems, depression, anxiety, school-related problems, parent-child relational discord and breakdown in communication. However, my practice is not limited to these situations. Sometimes life events become overwhelming. It is good to know there is someone you can trust that gives unconditional positive regard and solution-focused interventions to ease and/or eliminate the stresses you encounter. I am here for you! Answer: "The therapist has to FIT 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 Florida Blue?

Yes! If you use Florida Blue you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Florida Blue 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 a specific issue?

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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

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.
