I am originally from Cuba and have been living in the United States since 2013. My own life transitions, leaving everything behind, facing uncertainty, and adapting to change, have shaped the way I understand conflict, resilience, and growth. These experiences allow me to connect deeply with clients who are navigating challenges of their own. I bring warmth, compassion, and a practical approach to therapy, creating a safe space where you can explore your struggles and begin moving toward healing and lasting change.

Reaching out for support takes courage and I want you to know that you will be met with warmth, respect, and genuine care from the very first conversation. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel safe, brave and truly understood. I am deeply empathetic and listen with care, creating a safe space where you feel truly heard. Together we explore your stressors, obstacles and personal strengths discovering what works best for you. I tailor my approach and adjust as needed to support your growth, insight, and wellbeing.

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've been a clinician for over 25 years, providing evidence-based clinical counseling and clinical hypnosis to those impacted by grief and loss, life changing events, relationship issues, anxiety and stress. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults and specialize in Military and family life issues. We all struggle sometimes. I like to help you build a self help toolbox to cope when life presents us with unexpected situations or events. My goal is to help you help yourself, but also know when to reach out for help if you need to. I want to humanize and normalize situations and events that set us back a bit. I provide a safe place to share difficult situations without judgement. You matter!

I am a LMHC virtual therapist who works evenings and weekends till midnight to help you with either short-term solution-focused support and/or deeper psychoanalytical work, including shadow work, to help you understand the patterns that keep repeating in your life- and how to break them for good. Because many adults need support outside traditional hours, I offer evening and weekend sessions with no long-term commitment, so the sessions fit your lifestyle and meet your immediate needs. If you are going through major turning points- considering divorce, managing elder care decisions, coping with estrangement, or trying to understand the dynamics of a difficult partner or parent. I help you make sense of what's happening, strengthen your internal clarity, and take grounding steps forward.

Hello, I’m Yisbet Miron, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy services in both English and Spanish. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.

Do you want change but are skeptical about receiving therapy? Changes in our lives can be intimidating, especially when we're uncertain about how to resolve our issues or about who to trust for assistance. As a Clinical Mental Health Therapist and (OEF) "Operation Enduring Freedom" Marine Corps Veteran, I not only understand this struggle but have successfully treated various clients who used to feel that same way. Furthermore, I've also learned that more than one approach is often necessary to effectively resolve multiple issues a client may be facing, which is why I use an Integrative Therapy approach. This effective multimodal-approach does the following: 1) Employs various interventions and strategies from multiple psychological perspectives 2) Allows clients the benefit of experiencing a tailor-made treatment that helps address primary and unique concerns they're experiencing and 3) Inclusively treats challenges from various angles so that underlying issues can be resolved in a supportive environment. As we work as a team, you will gain the tools, insight, and support needed to strengthen your resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and unlock your full potential. Through growth, mindfulness, and perseverance, you will become more empowered to overcome challenges, achieve meaningful goals, and create a healthier, more fulfilling quality of life.

Hi! I'm Dr. Lisa Pinder, a licensed mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience helping clients make positive changes. I want to hear more about your current situation and help you develop effective coping strategies. In our sessions, we will explore your current situation, discuss areas you want to focus on and create goals to help you grow. I look forward to working with you!

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

I work with women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, and health. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact. As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation. My training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Florida, South Carolina and Delaware allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and also responsive to your experience.

I consider myself skilled using a variety of clinical interventions (expressive arts with cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and trauma-informed approaches) in three languages: English, Spanish and French. I am a Colombian born immigrant who came to the US to further my education and practice as a psychotherapist. During my years of experience in psychotherapy I learned to incorporate the creative side of the human brain to facilitate expression and better flow the emotional communication. I have helped many people work through coping with life changes, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and other multiple issues... I thrive in connecting with the person and developing trust, hope and faith in the therapeutic -and creative- process.

It takes courage to face our psychological challenges AND to take the first steps towards change, if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you all the way!

I have worked with patients suffering with and recovering from significant medical issues including COPD, CVA, TBI, cancer, diabetes, COVID, and physical injury, assisting them in regaining strength and independence and being able to return home following inpatient rehabilitation intervention. Many people I work with are first responders, have PTSD, or are suffering from Acute Stress Disorder following a trauma. My therapy style varies according to the issues presented, and my role as a psychologist is not to judge but to treat people as individuals and provide needed support. I use cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy and am very much in-line with the humanistic approach in all client care. I prefer to be solution-focused and to provide clients with valuable tools that they can use in the future as needed. Decision making strategies and techniques are emphasized. I provide supportive therapy and try to aid in empowering patients in taking confident, measured steps toward where they want to be next in their life path.

In addition to working with common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, etc., I have broader experience working with children of divorce, trauma, grief and LGBTQAI+ populations. We all have a fundamental need to feel known, cared for and understood and I am honored to have a career in which I can be that person for others.

As we feel known, cared for and understood by not only another but with time, ourselves, it’s a special kind of magic that can bring about deep healing and shifts. A little bit about me; I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and have also lived in Boston, Massachusetts and Boulder, Colorado.

Hello. I am a caregiver by nature and have worked in many roles in healthcare. I love helping and healing.

Therapy works. I have seen it thousands of times at this point in my career. I can only hope that what has helped others will help you meet your therapy goals too.

Hello I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I am also a Qualified Supervisor for LMHC Licensure. I received my Master of Science degree in Psychology from Valdosta State University and have served as a therapist for 19 years. I have worked with a variety of clients with a plethora of challenges. My goal is always to assist my clients in making the improvements necessary to improve their quality of life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where ti turn next. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD/ADD, or stressful life changes, you don't have to go through it alone. 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.
