I am a licensed therapist with over 14 years of clinical experience providing a compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy. I work with young adults, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to foster healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Hello, and welcome. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist dedicated to helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions, and I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My practice is grounded in evidence-based and culturally responsive approaches that honor each client's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside clients to increase self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and foster emotional well-being. As I continue pursuing my doctoral degree in counseling, I remain committed to ongoing learning and providing high-quality care that supports lasting growth and healing.

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.

WELCOME TO GARDEN GROVE COUNSELING AND THERAPY! My entire career has been driven by a desire to help others live their best life. I find inspiration in nature, music, and the creative arts ~ I believe these avenues allow us to connect deeply with our feelings and positively influence our mood and ability to find joy in the simple things life has to offer.  My approach to therapy emphasizes self-care, encourages you to connect deeply with your emotions and feelings, and focuses on growth towards personal goals of well-being and happiness.

I am passionate about supporting clients through times of change and personal growth.

Hi, I’m Jaelah, and I work with individuals who are ready to embrace their journey toward growth and authenticity. I serve clients from diverse backgrounds—especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities—navigating life transitions, anxiety, or identity exploration. My approach is collaborative, empowering you with practical tools like CBT, mindfulness, and culturally sensitive care. The impact? Together, we’ll build your self-awareness, resilience, and clarity—so you can confidently live a life aligned with your values and purpose.

I am a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, including divorce, separation, and shifts in identity or direction. I also support first responders who are managing chronic stress, burnout, and the emotional demands of high-intensity work, as well as individuals who are struggling with the transition into adulthood after high school and finding their footing in independence, relationships, and purpose. My style is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in helping you make sense of what you’re going through without judgment. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, even if they’re doing their best to keep things together on the outside. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, understand patterns, and begin creating more clarity and stability in your life. I integrate insight-oriented therapy with practical, evidence-based tools to help you build emotional awareness, improve coping skills, and make meaningful, sustainable change. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start—our work begins with where you are right now.

I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm find greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I am especially passionate about supporting women who feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work toward rebuilding self-worth, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and aligned with their values. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help clients feel emotionally stronger, more hopeful, and more confident in their ability to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.

My name is Dr. Frank Gorritz. I currently hold 8 years of practice with my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology and my Doctoral Degree in Counselor Education and Supervision.

Hello, I’m Edmundo Carrion. I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences. I bring experience from crisis, detox, residential, outpatient, and rehabilitation settings, which has shaped a calm, grounded approach to therapy, especially during overwhelming or uncertain moments. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered. In our work together, we’ll focus on building practical skills, strengthening insight, and reconnecting you with the strengths you already have. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and capable of moving forward in your life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to self-esteem and personal growth. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a Person-Centered approach, I provide a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and work toward their goals at a pace that feels right for them. Together, we focus on developing practical coping skills fostering personal growth, and helping clients create positive changes that align with their goals.

Hello, my name is Shakira Barbarossa, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My journey to becoming a mental health provider began with a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges. Over the years, I have a combined education, training, and real-world experience to develop a compassionate, collaborative approach that empowers clients to grow, heal, and reach their goals. I love what I do.

I bring nearly a decade of experience in mental health and education and strive to offer an informed, supportive, and non-judgmental space in every session. I help individuals restore balance, manage emotional pain, grow into their full capacity, and move forward toward meaningful life goals and overall emotional well-being with compassionate, steady, and supportive guidance. We will work collaboratively to explore patterns, build resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools you can apply in daily life. My approach honors your unique story, cultural background, and personal values while fostering clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth. Together, we create a safe, respectful environment where healing unfolds at your pace and authentic change becomes possible for you always.

Whether you are navigating grief, loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a space where you can feel safe, seen, and genuinely heard. If you are grieving, I welcome the stories, memories, and love you carry for the people you have lost. During difficult seasons of life, I aim to be a supportive and honest presence as we work through your experiences together. I believe each person already holds the capacity for growth and change within themselves, and it is an honor to walk alongside clients as they reconnect with their strength, resilience, and sense of self. My hope is to help clients rediscover their light, embrace their uniqueness, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and connected.

I am doctoral-trained therapist who integrates evidenced based clinical practices in ways that can meet your unique needs/challenges. For instance, I will utilize your strengths, resources and culture in order to explore problems from multiple vantage points. And, I will develop a treatment plan that incorporates co-existing issues. Whether you are experiencing family problems, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or another issue, I will facilitate conversations where solutions to the problem become more accessible and visible: I believe my clients have the capacity and agency to take actions that are right for them. These are times of uncertainty and challenges for many people. Each person, relationship and family is impacted differently. I am trained to work with individuals, couples, children and families; hence, I am prepared to offer you or your family comprehensive and holistic recommendations. This can be that first step toward an experience where the destination will be determined by each of you. If this speaks to you, I invite you to contact me and schedule a consultation.

Hello, and welcome. I'm Kanilina Clerge, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of KC Counseling and Wellness. We specialize in helping adults and couples navigate the impact of trauma on relationships, emotional well-being, and daily life.

I work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, stress, self-doubt, burnout, unhealthy coping patterns, or emotional overwhelm and want practical tools and deeper change.

Therapy here goes beyond symptom management—it’s about helping you heal at your own pace, reclaim your voice, strengthen emotional connection, and rediscover purpose.

Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the 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 and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and/or self-care, just to name a few. I focus on helping clients 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. I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker based in Miami, Florida. I earned my graduate degree from Florida International University in 2010 and have been licensed since 2016. My career began at Banyan Health Systems (formerly Miami Behavioral), where I worked as an adult mental health case manager back in 2004. After gaining my Masters degree, I continued to work for Banyan as a Child outpatient therapist and intake specialist. As a mother of three, I am deeply committed to family and believe that "family over everything" is the foundation of my personal and professional life. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, spending time with my husband and three children, going to the beach and embracing the vibrant energy of my Miami roots.

Our mission is to empower women who have been let down in relationships to rediscover themselves without ever sacrificing who they truly are. We support women in reclaiming their sense of self, embracing their femininity, and creating a life filled with joy and meaning. Through personalized therapy and a warm, supportive space, we’re here to walk alongside them on their journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Our goal is to provide holistic, evidence-based interventions that honor the unique experiences and challenges faced by women, fostering a community of empowered individuals who uplift and inspire one another to live authentically and boldly. Together, we strive to break down barriers, challenge societal norms, and pave the way for a future where every woman feels empowered, confident, and truly happy.

You’re a high-achieving woman who appears successful on the outside, yet internally feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly unfulfilled. You know how to perform, push through, and hold it all together, but patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, or chronic self-doubt continue to limit your sense of ease, confidence, and fulfillment. You may have a strong career, financial stability, a home, and a life that looks “together” from the outside. Your responsibilities are handled. Your bills are paid. You show up for others. And yet, there’s a persistent sense that something is missing. No matter how much you accomplish, the relief is temporary and the internal pressure quickly returns. You tell yourself you should feel satisfied, but instead feel stuck in cycles you can’t seem to outthink or outwork. My work is designed for women like you, those who are capable, self-aware, and ready for meaningful change. Together, we move beyond surface-level coping strategies and address the deeper roots of self-sabotage. Through a highly personalized, one-on-one approach, we uncover the unconscious patterns driving these behaviors, strengthen self-trust, and build the internal safety needed to create lasting change. This is not about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about helping you feel grounded, confident, and fulfilled in a life you’ve already worked hard to build, without burning out or betraying yourself along the way.

Hi! I am Luis Gonzales, a licensed mental health counselor and certified rehabilitation counselor working out of the Tampa area. Having gone through a tragic life altering experience at a young age, I know what it’s like to feel lost and hopeless about the future. When I was 21 I suffered a spinal cord injury that left me paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. Through my journey of recovery I learned firsthand, just how much our thoughts and emotions can become our biggest obstacles in life.

I specialize in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, life transitions, and grief, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. As a bilingual therapist, I especially enjoy working with individuals from Hispanic backgrounds, women, teens, and those seeking Christian counseling that integrates faith into the healing process. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, find clarity, and move toward emotional and personal growth.

Hi! I had been a licensed psychologist for more than 35 years, serving the Puerto Rican population for about 38 years and recently licensed in Florida. I had worked as a consultant, university professor, therapist, health coach and a nutritional coach within the scope of my professional experience. I speak both English and Spanish and love to work with adults. My present practice is as a telehealth psychologist, with Florida clients. For 38 years I have helped people turn problematic situations and trauma into hope and triumph. Clients have healed trauma, overcome eating disorders and growth, as they find their best version. I use an integrative approach directed to nourish the body, heal the mind and empowered the spirit. Therapy goals are set to heal, learn to cope and continue to grow. I have professional certifications in Trauma, Eating Disorders, and Binging. I have been very successful treating clients with different Eating Disorders, Binging and Chronic Dieting.

I am a licensed therapist in Florida with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, supporting them through issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, and self-esteem struggles. I believe you are the expert of your own story. You hold the inner strength needed to overcome obstacles—and with the right support, change is absolutely possible. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and empowerment as you take the courageous steps toward growth and healing. Seeking help takes strength. The fact that you’re here is already a powerful first step. I’m honored to support you on your journey.

My name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked with various populations with mental health and substance abuse struggles. I also provided Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to adolescents and their families who were living in homeless shelters and were in the court system. I have also worked with women with Post-Partum depression and struggling with substance abuse. Two of the modalities that I work with are Brainspotting and EMDR. Brainspotting focuses on identifying specific eye positions (“brainspots”) that connect to unprocessed material in the brain. By maintaining focused attention on these spots, clients are able to access, process, and resolve underlying issues at a deeper neurological level. This approach is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation, allowing for profound healing in a safe, attuned, and client-centered space. I also specialize in EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help clients process and heal from trauma, distressing memories, and negative beliefs. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I guide clients through structured phases that use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming experiences. This allows painful memories to lose their intensity and supports the development of more adaptive, empowering beliefs. EMDR is highly effective for trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, offering deep and lasting relief in a safe, supportive, and client-centered environment.

As an LMHC specialized in trauma, I work with both children and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional pain, difficult life experiences, and relationship challenges. I believe that healing begins when people feel truly heard, understood, and supported. My approach to therapy is compassionate, grounded and collaborative. I have over 14 years experience working with clients that have experienced PTSD, including first responders, military families and individuals that have had an abuse experience. I am a mother, practicing Catholic, runner and philanthropist. I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal and grow. I look forward to collaborating with you and helping you on your journey.

I’m Omilys Marambio, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping children and adults navigate life’s challenges with confidence and compassion. I specialize in anxiety, emotional regulation, and parent-child relationships. My approach is collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused therapy.

I specialize on anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and Couples Counseling. I am Bilingual in English and Spanish. Being a therapist is my calling and my passion. My mission is to create a safe and supportive space where you will feel comfortable working on your overall well-being.

I am a warm, empathetic, non-judgemental therapist. I am certified in EMDR. I honor and respect each individual's challenges. I encourage you to take the first step and reach out. Looking forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals.

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 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 professional philosophy is simple yet profound: therapy is a collaborative journey toward becoming the best version of oneself. With empathy, precision, and cultural awareness, I empower my clients to embrace change, cultivate resilience, and live with greater authenticity.

I hold a deep respect for each person's unique story. I am passionate about supporting people in finding greater connections with themselves and those around them, and in being more present in their daily lives. Together we can craft an approach to counseling that works for you. I am a bilingual/bi-cultural therapist; able to do therapy in both English/Spanish. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Therapy provides an opportunity to wonder about experiences, emotions, and desires that we may not otherwise have space to explore. This process can deepen our insight into the impact of personal history on our current behavioral and emotional patterns, allowing us a greater sense of self and choice in our lives and relationships. In the course of psychotherapy, we will create a space of non-judgmental curiosity, including space for creativity, playfulness, and humor. I help my patients develop and strengthen their ability to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges so that they can live a more meaningful, mindful, and enjoyable life. I encourage my patients to work hard to grow and change, achieving the life they desire. I seek to develop a caring and supportive relationship with all my patients. You are a unique human being. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Let's talk and see if I am the right fit to help you reach the goals you want for yourself. Together we will work to deepen self-awareness, presence, and sense of possibility. I use she/her pronouns. *** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***

I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re navigating loss, transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our work together can help you explore meaning, clarify purpose, and move toward a more authentic and grounded sense of well-being. I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and respect, believing it can be a space not only for healing, but also for reclaiming parts of yourself and imagining new possibilities.

My role is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools to create the life you want. As a mom of two, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing personal, family, and professional responsibilities. My perspective as both a parent and a clinician helps me connect deeply with my clients as they navigate life's transitions. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and have over a decade of experience as a social worker in school and community-based settings. This background enriches my current work as a therapist, allowing me to blend clinical expertise with real-world understanding.

I understand that the therapeutic process can be painful and it takes courage to take the first steps therefore I utilize some humor and unconditional positive regard to encourage clients feeling safe and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I would hope clients can achieve their goals and reach their version of their best self. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida (MT 3746). I am tri-lingual in English, Portuguese and Spanish and understanding my cultural privilege has helped me to connect with clients and their families under a non-judgement, strength-base, very collaborative and supportive lens.

Together, we’ll explore what’s been bothering you, clarify your goals, and build a path toward meaningful growth.

With over 30 years of public service and a strong foundation in military and clinical care, I bring deep experience, compassion, and understanding to my work as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My journey began in the U.S. military, where I served as a medic in hospitals and clinics across the country. There, I witnessed firsthand the impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges—an experience that inspired my lifelong dedication to helping others heal. Following my service, I spent over two decades in crisis intervention, responding to and supporting individuals in crisis. These years reinforced my belief that empathy, patience, and listening can change lives.

Welcome! I'm Ryan. Are you feeling the waves of life? Some waves are gentle and predictable, while others seem to come out of nowhere and knock us completely off balance.

Relationships can become challenging to navigate when we are experiencing such waves. I will meet you where you're at to help you achieve a feeling of wellness.

I will make clinical judgments about how to proceed in certain situations, but you are an expert on yourself, even if you don't feel that way.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, understanding the challenges that arise from navigating different perspectives and references. I help clients address a variety of issues, including anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, addiction, and codependency, supporting them in achieving lasting change and recovery. My approach focuses on creating a therapeutic space centered around reflection, honesty, and emotional safety, where we can work together to overcome obstacles and reach your goals. Through the therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a safe space for deep listening and reflection, where we can explore how our connections with others, and experiences from our past, continue to shape our lives and decisions.

My name is Irisdomar Santiago and I'm a bilingual (Spanish/ English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. My experience as an Outpatient Therapist in the community mental health provided me with the opportunity to work with diverse populations and mental health conditions. I also worked for five years with people with physical conditions to help them navigate resources in the community to help them achieve their independent living goals. My approach in therapy is guided by offering a non-judgmental space, where you can share your story. I believe that each person deserves respect in their unique process, and if you allow me to, I can meet you where you're at with compassion and understanding. My therapy style- is warm, encouraging, accepting, and dynamic

I'm a licensed provider in both South Carolina and Florida. I am passionate about mental health, and providing care to those in need. My goal is to provide knowledge, perspective, and tools to work toward building clients to become self-sufficient and understand what they are experiencing. I come from a background of providing inpatient services to psychiatric hospitals, residential centers, and in a detox level of care. I have transitioned to taking my experience and knowledge to provide services in an outpatient level, and make lasting changes in lives of clients. I serve with a "scaffolding" approach, where clients may lean on me in the beginning, but similar to training wheels, we will work out challenges and dilemmas with a solution-focused manner, that identifies what may be more effective approaches. Change is uncomfortable, but I work to make change fun, less scary, and obtainable.
