Motherhood is a profound journey marked by both beauty and upheaval. Whether your path to this moment has been long-anticipated or unexpected, the transition into motherhood often brings a whirlwind of emotions. Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period are more common than many realize, with maternal depression being the leading complication of childbirth. The shift from your pre-motherhood identity to caring for a newborn can be one of the toughest transitions you’ll ever experience. As a dedicated mental health professional, I am passionate about supporting individuals through some of life's most significant and challenging transitions. I offer various approaches, including talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness and meditation practices, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These methods are designed to help you express your feelings, redefine your identity, and find a sense of balance and well-being in this new chapter of your life.

I am a psychotherapist with 16 years in private practice, seeing families, individuals and couples. I have dual master's degrees in both mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy. Since 2010 I have been providing holistic care from both CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Jungian traditions. Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health. The goals include integration, stability, hope and even joy. Holistic does not mean 'alternative', yet I am experienced in adjunct healing modalities like acupuncture, nutrition and yoga. I like to collaborate treatment in a team approach for my clients when able.

Whether through mindfulness, cognitive strategies, or self-discovery, I help clients find clarity and emotional balance during times of transition and growth.

Finding a therapist you can identify with, feeling heard & accepted can be a challenging feat. Therapists are not one size fits all. We are people with problems, just like you. I offer you over 20 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment world. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology (2001) and a graduate degree (2006) in professional counseling. With working 10 of those years in a hospital setting, I also have a decent handle on possible medical issues you might need to be referred for. After more life experience, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2016 and opened my private practice. I can't tell you all the answers to life's problems, but together we can come to what the best decision will be for you in particular. Your goals and values are worth exploring. Your likes and dislikes matter. Your happiness is not selfish.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and want support before things begin to unravel.

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you regain balance, think more clearly, and move toward the life you want to live. I specialize in trauma that affects adults. This maybe a combat trauma, a recent experience that was traumatic, or an early childhood event(s) that continues to affect you.

It hasn't been easy, and you've been thinking about how to change. Let us help you in your path to self discovery, and leading a more healthy life style.

Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

Hello, my name is Lauren Behr. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Hello, my name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I am passionate about working with older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers. In addition to being the primary caregiver for my father, I have supported this population professionally since becoming a social worker in 2011. I also specialize in helping individuals build self-esteem, as low self-worth often contributes to anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. As confidence grows, many clients find they are better able to face life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Life transitions can leave people feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from who they once were. Whether you are adjusting to aging, caregiving responsibilities, disability-related changes, or another major life shift, therapy can provide a space to regain stability and direction. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients learn how to navigate difficult emotions, stay present, and reconnect with their values so they can move forward in ways that feel meaningful and authentic. I also work with clients struggling with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, and low confidence. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and build lasting self-worth. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on giving you tools you can use in everyday life. Many clients begin therapy unsure of where to start — that’s completely okay. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel understood while building the skills and confidence needed to move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I would be honored to support you.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I'm experienced working with individuals, groups, couples and families.

Hi, my name is Sylvia Barra, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I earned my Master’s degree from Florida International University after spending many years working in the mental health field. I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life adjustments, school-related stress, self-esteem challenges, and the daily pressures that can feel overwhelming at times. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create lasting change. I also take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what is already within you and helping you reconnect with your inner resilience.

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have trained as a professional life coach. I have been working in this field since 2009 and had been a special education teacher for 13 years and am currently working as a school social worker in high school in Tampa, Florida for the last 8 years.

The therapeutic process is hard to explain and better to be experienced. 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, my name is Whidden Flores. I am an LCSW who is a Certified Traumatic Stress Specialist, Grief Recovery Specialist, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, and former Crisis Prevention Instructor. I specialize in helping people through crisis and hardship so they can come out feeling empowered while avoiding all worst case scenarios. For the past 5 years, I've worked with complex clients ranging from 12-75 with a focus on complex trauma, schizophrenia, self harm/severe depression, chronic illness- and any combination of diagnosis that requires more than "average" anxiety management. I also specialize in Narcissistic Abuse & Betrayal Trauma Recovery. I believe in being the therapist that you need and meeting you where you are at. As a consumer of mental health services and a professional, I acutely understand all aspects of recovery on a personal level and will also model health recovery values. I believe I have to earn your trust each time we meet and will work hard to show up solid and supportive regardless of situation. Therapy shouldn't just be about managing a diagnosis, it should be about transforming all aspects of your life to make you better prepared for what the future holds. We all get hit by hardship and there is no shame in seeking out help or better ways to cope. I am LGBTQA+ friendly and supportive of all alternative lifestyles. Let me create a safe space for you so you don't have to go through the worst moments of life by yourself. I very much look forward to meeting you.

When life feels overwhelming, guidance and support can make all the difference! Together, we’ll work through the challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression, (aka living) with evidence-based strategies — not just to manage symptoms, but to create lasting changes. I have worked with a wide variety of populations; including college students/emerging adults, those in transition from separation/divorce, children, adolescents and their parents including children who have experienced trauma.
