Hello, beautiful soul. I know the day-to-day may not be so great for you right now. Life has a way of showing up in a very real way at the most unexpected times, knocking the wind right out of us. In the ever-changing cycles and transitions of life, sometimes, we say goodbye to people we never thought we would, we separate from familiar places and things whether we’re ready or not, and we face the unknown with lingering uncertainty, not quite sure where to go, what to do, or to whom we can turn. Surviving comes at a cost to our overall health and wellness.
I am so grateful you are here – and while it may be difficult for you to believe while you are questioning your self-worth:
You are worthy, breathing and existing as you are.
Progress is subjective.
So is happiness.
So is success.
The recipe for the version of self you can admire most begins here, now.
Let's take a regenerative approach to wellness, together. Let's cultivate humanity.
In our virtual therapeutic platform, my goal as your therapist is to help you:
· Clear unresolved traumas
· Envision and design your Quality World
· Process stressors and how they impact your life.
· Equip yourself with mental and emotional tools to cope and live life on life’s terms.
· Create simple, realistic, and attainable goals to effect change in your day-to-day life.
· Love yourself, find your inspiration, and know your self-worth.
· Develop your ability to change your perspective on displeasing or undesired changes in your life—present and future.
· Improve the quality of your interpersonal relationships.
· Decrease your levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
· Discover and express your sense of self and individuality.
· Focus on your self-love and self-care.
· Explore healthy hobbies/activities/outlets.
· Attain a state of balance, peace, and happiness in your life—the true essence of wellness.

Hi there! My name is Dr. Jillian Baldwin (but please feel free to call me Jillian), and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D.) based in Miami, FL working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults, utilizing relationship-based interventions paired with individualized behavioral plans and skill-building to support clients in reaching their goals. My communication style is accommodating, personable, and at times playful! I strive to work collaboratively and creatively with my clients, emphasizing and building upon their strengths and supporting them in moving in the direction of their values.
What drives me most as a psychologist is a genuine interest and love for people. Every individual has their own story, history, strengths, difficulties, and unique way of viewing the world. I, like everyone, have experienced the sense of relief and the genuine connection that comes from truly feeling heard and understood by someone, especially when it appears that most people do not. As a psychologist, I strive to create this experience by providing a safe and understanding therapeutic environment where my clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 25 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard.
I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself.
I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hi, I'm Shari ... Are you ready to meet your best and most powerful self? Much of our experience in life is fluid and unpredictable. As an Ocean fanatic, I have found that we never know when the next "high or low tide" will ebb and flow. I empower high-functioning individuals to learn to navigate from the "flow", to "ride the waves", or how to "go with the flow". There is time for watching, treading, sailing, surfing, and anchoring.
Where ever you are in the "flow" of life, we can use the tide mark to understand the "flow of opportunity", to create, fine-tune, or protect what you have grown. Together we can create what you need to better your performance. If you are interested in making a greater impact, healing, or planning for personal growth, Today is the Day --A rising tide of opportunity awaits you!

I decided to grow my family before pursuing a career. I decided to pursue a career in the mental health field because of a family member being diagnosed with a severe mental health disorder. I earned my AA in Psychology, then a dual degree in Psychology and Behavioral Science. After my undergrad, I went on to receive my master's in social work.
I have worked with Veterans, homeless, hospice, young adults, children, elders, couples and individuals with severe mental health diagnoses.
In my pursuit to help my family member, I became even more passionate about mental health and reducing the negative stigma attached to it. This passion I share with everyone I encounter.

I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression.
When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more.

I have extensive experience working in individual, couples, family, outpatient, and inpatient settings.
As a person in long-term recovery and a sur-thriver through adverse life experiences, my heart and passion are in helping individuals and families learn and overcome their uncomfortable experiences, reclaim their power, and live a fulfilled, joyful life.

Appointments are available outside of 8-5 working hours starting as late as 7 pm! It takes courage to reach out for help when you struggle or feel stuck. As a therapist, I'm dedicated to creating a secure setting where my clients can express themselves and work through obstacles, adversity, and life changes. Therapy provides an opportunity for clients to question long-held beliefs that may no longer be beneficial to their present lives and make lasting change. In my practice, I work to create a non-judgmental and affirming environment where you can explore, process, and feel.

Welcome! As many of us know the modern world can be a frantic place, one where demands are constant, and space is limited. In therapy you have a chance to pause and take stock, to become more aware of our feelings and to re-examine the choices we are making in a reflective and constructive way. I aim to provide a supportive relationship within which my clients can safely explore and better understand themselves and their relationships. I take an active role in helping people investigate a broader range of options than at first may appear and invite them to expand the limits of their imagination. I wish to encourage confidence and resilience in managing feelings of doubt or despair, and to help find a positive and affirming way ahead.
My clients consist of children, adolescents and young adults experiencing roadblocks from emotional turmoil to family stressors and communication issues affecting that satisfaction and joy we all strive for. Like most people, we want to lead a life of significance and balance, and we know we are meant for more. You don't have to experience this alone with the right support you will learn that happiness is not a mysterious force it is the result of a set of skills that anyone can learn. Working together we will improve on positive emotional well-being and getting to your comfort zone.

Hello, I am a therapist with 30+ years of experience both in NYC and in Florida. I have worked in many mental health and medical services with individuals, families, children and elders. I have always attempted to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and thoughts; gain insight into their behavior and improve their relationships, work and overall, well being. I am part of the therapeutic team (client and therapist), your team to identify the triggers you may suffer with and come to a resolution whereby you do not continue to experience pain/trauma.
I bring to the session not only my knowledge but the experience of accompanying you on your journey as you move forward in your life.

We develop treatment plans for the person collaboratively sitting in front of us.
While we do specialize in certain areas as individual counselors, we are prepared to serve the needs of those who are willing to help in the process.
Below you will find a partial list of areas that we can assist with:
We offer a wide range of services to meet every type of need.
Our counselors see clients who are 18 and above, but in special circumstances, accommodations may be considered for young adults above the age of 14 with parental/guardian consent.
