Hi! My name is Kathryn and I'm a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I graduated from Troy University with my degree in clinical mental health counseling. My aim is to listen closely to what brings you to therapy, provide a safe and supportive space to explore personal challenges, and adapt our work together to suit your needs and goals.

Hello! I'm Abigail, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Florida. I received my Masters from Indiana University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help clients and families of all ages, children through elderly, who are wanting to enjoy life more, work through difficulties, and build skills for life and coping in preparation for anything life brings.

Have you lost your balance in relationships and need to recalibrate? Want to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be? Do you feel anxiety or depression robbing you of your own life and need help finding the GOOD? I can help! As a licensed mental health counselor working in private practice, I have experience with children, individuals, couples, and families. As a school district counselor leader and trainer, as well as a fitness instructor, I can help guide you to live your best life through goal setting and goal reaching in nearly every area of your life. It may feel like a big step to try something new, but it will be worth it! I would be honored to support you in unraveling the knots of your heart, mind, and body and help you breathe easily, taking next steps for growth on your unique journey.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience across diverse settings, I am committed to meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique journeys - emotionally, mentally, and situationally. Rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect my approach centers on recognizing and building upon each individual's inherent strengths, empowering them to create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Struggling with relationships or making decisions? Life can often feel out of control. Therapy can help. Finding the right therapist matters so here's a little about me to help you decide. As a teenager, I often wished for someone outside my family or friends—someone who would truly listen without judgment, a sounding board to help me navigate life’s decisions. That experience inspired me to become that person for others. For over 11 years, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist, supporting clients through relationship challenges, anxiety and depression, career transitions, neurodivergence, parenting, burnout, and spiritual or existential questions. Every person is unique, which is why I take a collaborative and compassionate approach—tailoring evidence-based techniques to your specific needs and goals. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You are worthy!

Hi! I’m Dakota. Do you feel as though your life is a struggle and you don’t understand why or how to help yourself? Has your child changed into someone you don’t recognize?

I focus on empowering you or your child with skills and increasing insight so that my clients can move on and heal. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents with any problem but specialize working through trauma and/or abandonment issues. I am uniquely suited to offer therapy to individuals with high IQ’s who may have difficulties connecting with the emotional side of therapy. I love working with the geek population and offer therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons™ services. I am also a trained rehabilitation therapist, so if you’re struggling with what you do with your life/career or have a highschooler wondering what trade or college path is a good fit, I can do career counseling. Thank you for doing the brave thing seeking therapy. I look forward to helping you grow!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida with over 20 years of experience specializing in Adoption Competence and fluency in multiple languages. With dual Master’s degrees in Counseling and Special Education, I integrate various therapeutic approaches, including CBT, Solution Focused, Attachment Theory, Anxiety and Depression, to support individuals facing mental health challenges. My work also focuses on helping at-risk youth and families from diverse backgrounds, with a strong commitment to community outreach and educational interventions.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

Peace. Happiness. Love. Success. We seek them. We want them. As we see them within reach, we are knocked down by the challenges and difficulties of life. We find, instead, lives that are filled with anxiety, sadness, grief, trauma, loss and failure. I know this too well. I have experienced this in my own life and in the life of my clients. It does not matter where you are in your life. I have had celebrity clients at the top of their field. I have worked with gold medal athletes. I have worked with businessmen and women, housewives, families, adolescents. I have also worked with those who have lost everything to the ravishes of substance use and with men serving life in prison. It is possible to navigate the dangerous waters of life, but you will need a guide. I am that guide. I have excellent education from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have a wealth of experience. I have over three decades of experience as a husband, father, grandfather, youth pastor, counselor and university professor. I have worked in the church, private practice (in Florida and the Bahamas), community mental health (specializing in crisis and families with at-risk-adolescents), foster care, substance abuse, juvenile justice and the prisons. I have maintained my relevance by teaching at the university level, advising a best-selling author on the psychological aspects of his book, and serving as a consultant to other mental health agencies. I have wonderful experience working with anxiety, depression, anger, parenting issues, challenging children and teenagers, grief, trauma, substance use issues, family and relationship issues, LGBT issues, and other issues and concerns. I have helped my clients find peace with themselves, with others and in their situations. I have helped my clients find happiness, even amid loss. I have helped my clients find belonging and love in healthy and supportive relationships. I have helped my clients increase their ability to succeed by changing their thinking. One of the foundations of my life and my work was written by M. Scott Peck in The Road Less Travelled. He wrote, “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths… Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?” Let’s start today to solve some of life’s problems and to begin to grasp peace, happiness, love and success.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Orlando, Florida with over 25 years of experience. I absolutely love what I do and take pride in helping my clients flourish and grow. I love helping teens and young adults (and their families) struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression and the pressure and stress of everyday life. I am calm, easy going and want to help my clients become the best version of themselves.

There’s no denying that life isn’t always a walk in the park. While I’m sure you can relate to this as an adult, the same goes for kids, teens, and college-age students. Don’t forget, they’re going through this life without a manual, just as you are. But life is also spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the trials faced during any phase of life can often dim that beauty and hold your child back from living the life they deserve. Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can creep into anyone's life at any age. Mental health challenges can rob them of happiness, self-confidence, and life-fulfillment. I get it. I’ve been in their shoes. As an experienced, understanding, and caring counselor for teens, children, and young adults. I can help support your child, whether they are elementary-school-aged, in the turbulent teenage years, or college-aged. And, because I value being an advocate for kids and an ally for parents, I can support you, too.

Hello! I am an experienced, licensed psychologist who has helped many individuals, couples, and families to navigate various life transitions. I enjoy serving clients who are willing to assess their value systems to determine if their values are still consistent with who they want to be. To some extent, our personal styles are genetically determined. However, I also believe we base our values on early learning, whether that education was positive or not.

I am a national board-certified counselor and Licensed mental health counselor, practicing for 25+ years.

I work with a holistic, evidence-based, trauma informed approach, taking great care to create a space of safety, trust and respect. I will listen carefully, challenge and support you throughout your journey.
