Hello there I’m Johnny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Miami, Florida. Outside of my work, I’m someone who loves to explore new places, try different foods, and spend time outdoors. Traveling gives me perspective and reminds me how much there is to learn from different people and cultures. I also enjoy cooking, scuba diving, and finding quiet moments near the ocean whenever I can. I’ve always had a curious side—I’m fascinated by astronomy and love collecting action figures, which is something that’s stuck with me since childhood. Those small interests keep me grounded and remind me to make space for the things that bring joy. Family is important to me, I value humor, honesty, and connection, both in my personal life and in the relationships I build every day. I believe that who we are outside of our work matters just as much as what we do, and I try to live in a way that reflects that balance.

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes safety, collaboration, and empowerment. I primarily utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and resolve traumatic experiences that continue to impact functioning. I have experience addressing a wide range of mental health concerns and approach therapy as a collaborative process, working with clients to develop effective coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and support long-term stability and recovery.

Hi, I’m Mikaela, a mental health therapist who works with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, emotion regulation challenges, and difficult life transitions.

It is my desire and goal through the process of counseling to assist each client to help them find restoration and healing from the broken places of their stories and relationships so you have the opportunity to live life as it is intended.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of dedicated clinical practice, specializing in the care of adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a Master’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Christian Studies, a unique combination that allows me to integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a holistic perspective that honors both psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing. My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, cultivate resilience, and discover their fullest potential. My therapeutic style is compassionate, structured, and client-centered, blending cognitive-behavioral strategies, multicultural sensitivity, and strengths-based interventions. I believe that therapy is not only about resolving difficulties but also about fostering growth, clarity, and purpose. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am adept at working across cultures and supporting diverse populations. My multicultural fluency enables me to bridge communication gaps and create safe, inclusive spaces for clients from different backgrounds. I have extensive experience in cross-cultural counseling, helping clients adapt to new environments, manage identity transitions, and strengthen relationships across cultural divides. My practice emphasizes: - Individual Growth: Supporting adults and adolescents in managing stress, trauma recovery, identity development, and personal empowerment. - Couples Therapy: Helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. - Family Systems Work: Guiding families through conflict resolution, parenting challenges, and intergenerational dynamics.

My name is Flemens Casimir, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with six years of experience providing counseling services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and demographics. In addition to my work in general mental health, I also have extensive experience in substance abuse treatment, supporting clients who struggle with addiction and co-occurring disorders. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is enhancing my ability to support clients in addressing trauma that often contributes to ongoing mental health and substance use challenges. My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes meeting clients where they are in their current stage of life.

My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered and respected as they work toward healing and growth.

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.

Often the biggest obstacles lie within, and my goal is to enable you to free yourself from problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you may strive for your ideal version of yourself. Personally and professionally, I pride myself on my rapport with everyone that I encounter. I have genuine and unconditional respect and patience for others. I remain objective and non-judgmental, while still developing close working relationships that are productive and challenging. I specialize in improving thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and outcomes. I enjoy working in music production, and share music therapy exercises often. I look forward to delving into any interests that you are looking to pursue. It is very important to discover your talents and develop confidence in articulating and communicating thoughts and feelings. These can be great coping skills, recreation, or even a potential career.

I have known I wanted to work with people since I was in elementary school. By my psychology class in high school, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. When I was getting my undergraduate degree, my grandparents, whom had been a major emotional support for me, had been diagnosed with dementia. I learned firsthand the stress that can create for individuals and families. My next step was graduate school where I began to learn the skills and strategies to work with people and help them. Since then, I have worked with individuals and families during some of their more stressful times to process and identify their thoughts and feelings while implementing helpful change.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted from constantly caring for others while neglecting their own needs. If you’re caring for an aging parent, spouse, or another loved one over the age of 18, you don’t have to carry that stress alone. My name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I specialize in supporting caregivers of older adults and individuals with disabilities over the age of 18 who may be struggling with burnout, anxiety, guilt, stress, or feeling emotionally drained. As a former primary caregiver for my father, I understand firsthand the emotional and practical challenges caregiving can bring. Balancing medical appointments, family responsibilities, work demands, and the emotional weight of supporting a loved one can leave little time to care for yourself. Since 2011, I’ve worked alongside caregivers and families to help reduce burnout, build healthier boundaries, improve coping skills, and create more balance in daily life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on practical tools you can use outside of sessions. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and supportive therapy to help clients manage stress, navigate difficult emotions, and reconnect with their own well-being. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. The first session is simply an opportunity for us to talk about what’s been weighing on you and explore whether working together feels like a good fit — with no pressure or expectations. If you’re ready for support, I’d be honored to work alongside you.

I have a diverse area of focus that includes trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life adjustments and transitions, and a variety of other mental health concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences. I utilize a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy, working collaboratively with each individual to help them achieve their personal goals, strengthen coping skills, and navigate the stresses of everyday life. I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool for growth, healing, and self-discovery, and that we all have the ability to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

I have two decades of experience treating clients with mental health and/or substance abuse problems. I also have experience treating clients who are having relationship problems or are going through a difficult situation and need help getting past it in a healthy way. My goal is for my clients to have a good quality of life; I want them to feel that life is not something to get through but something for them to enjoy.

I am a compassionate and client-centered therapist who works with individuals, couples, children, and families. I believe therapy is most effective when it is personalized, supportive, and collaborative. Because every person’s experience is unique, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, goals, and emotional readiness. My focus is always to meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I am an LCSW and transformational coach. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT and Mindfulness, along with other evidence-based interventions. I work individually with clients to help them reach their full potential and overcome any obstacles standing in their way. It is my absolute passion to inspire clients and give them the ability to triumph over life’s challenges.I provide clients with the tools and coping skills they need to overcome their overwhelming emotions.

Healing is a Journey—Let’s Walk it Together I believe everyone deserves a life defined by more than just their struggles. As an LCSW with 14 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping adults move through the fog of anxiety and depression toward a place of clarity and purpose. My approach is deeply rooted in the outpatient model, as it allows us the time and space to observe your progress in the "real world." Whether you are facing a long-standing challenge or a new season of difficulty, I am here to offer a steady hand and clinical expertise to help you build a future you’re excited to live in.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am a proud veteran of the US Army. I completed my Masters Degree at Wake Forest University and have been providing services for the past 9 years. I love working with clients to help identify what's happening "behind the scenes" in their lives so they can live the healthy and fulfilling lives they deserve.

I want to know if you are tired of feeling anxious or depressed, you've tried, but nothing has helped, it just keeps spiraling? Do you feel confused and conflicted, maybe feeling like you need to change but have no idea how? Are you feeling stressed about a job, a relationship, not having a social life, or like you're functioning at a low level? Are you experiencing mood swings, in relapse mode, or struggling with post traumatic stress? Acknowledging the situation was the first step, that is self-awareness. Now making the decision to seek guidance because you haven't healed or changed on your own, is the second step. You've made progress already. I specialize in helping you decide what you need, what you want, and finding out how to make the changes that will open doors for the new you. We walk part of your path together; I may be your guide but you are the driver. I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, focused on what you need in your life right now. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that helps clients quickly make changes by accessing the deep roots that keep the negative and painful emotions alive. We access what lies beneath the thoughts and words, making changes in the emotional brain; by the end of the session, you feel empowered, happy, light-hearted.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse world. I recently retired from the Department of Defense and I'm ready to build a caseload.

I am well-versed in assisting clients with issues surrounding, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment disorders, mood disorders, family conflicts, chronic illness, career counseling and male issues just to name a few. I understand on a personal level how internal and external struggles impact our lives and the lives of those around us. I have had the opportunity to help many over the years to realize their full potential and see the beauty in the world around them again. I come from a holistic perspective and understand the mind and body connection. I truly believe everyone deserves help if they are struggling and I want to help you on your journey to wellness.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Credentialed Addiction Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through anxiety, depression, mood-related concerns, substance use, family conflict, and life stressors. I became a therapist because I value creating a space where people feel safe, heard, respected, and supported while working through difficult emotions and life experiences. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs and goals. I believe meaningful change begins when clients feel comfortable being honest about what they are carrying without fear of judgment. In therapy, I help clients better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and coping strategies so they can make changes that feel realistic and sustainable. I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. I also support clients in building emotional regulation skills, improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, strengthening self-worth, and developing coping tools they can use outside of sessions. I have over 14 years of experience working with individuals affected by substance use and addiction. I support clients navigating recovery, relapse prevention, emotional triggers, co-occurring mental health concerns, and the impact substance use can have on relationships, self-esteem, and daily functioning. I understand that recovery is not always linear, and I approach this work with compassion, accountability, and respect for each client’s individual journey. I am also currently completing EMDR training and consultation. I integrate EMDR-informed principles within a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, with careful attention to preparation, stabilization, pacing, and client readiness. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental and emotionally safe space where clients feel supported while making meaningful and lasting changes. I strive to help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and move toward greater emotional wellness and stability.

My approach is integrative and person-centered, drawing from talk therapy, expressive arts, and body-based (somatic) awareness to help clients reconnect with themselves and make sense of what they are carrying. You do not need to be “creative” to work with me. Expressive and reflective tools are used gently and always at your comfort level. I believe healing begins with being seen, understood, and supported—rather than being rushed to fix or change yourself. If you choose to have sessions with me, you will be truly seen.
