Hi, I’m Jessica. I’m a therapist with a passion for helping others recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and live up to their full potential. Much of my experience has been working with children, adolescents, and families within child welfare settings, where I developed a strong interest in trauma-informed care, relationship dynamics, and emotional wellness. Outside of therapy, I’m a proud dog and cat mom who enjoys spending time at the beach, soaking up the sun, and practicing yoga. I value balance, personal growth, and meaningful connection, and I hope to someday live on an island where life moves a little slower and more intentionally.

Hi there! I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years human service and social work experience - including experience on the frontline working child abuse investigations. I transitioned to clinical private practice 4 years ago. I don’t run a sterile, academic practice. My work is deeply rooted in evidence-based science, but our sessions are designed to feel like a real, natural conversation focused on practical, real-world results. I run a warm, accepting space built specifically for anyone who is feeling completely overburdened and just plain tired of pretending they have it all together. When your daily environment, career, or life stage demands total strength, life's challenges and transitions become infinitely heavier to carry on your own. That’s why my approach is straightforward, honest, and entirely focused on helping you let down your guard so you can focus on your own mental wealth and recovery. I am the right fit for those navigating high-pressure realities. My background includes specialized training in trauma, including supporting military personnel, first responders, their spouses, and other public service workers who carry the heavy weight of frontline cultures. I am equally a match for teenagers and young adults navigating the modern grind—those juggling school, career transitions, social pressures, and the exhausting expectation to have their entire identity figured out right now.

I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders—anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and related challenges. I recognize these aren't simply about food; they're deeply intertwined with emotional complexity, cognitive patterns, and questions of self that demand thorough, empathetic treatment. Through my specialized Modified DBT training, I help clients navigate overwhelming feelings while building healthier ways of coping. I also frequently work with those facing debilitating anxiety—whether it shows up as persistent worry, panic attacks, or avoidance. My practice includes young adults in transition, working professionals dealing with performance stress, and adolescents managing social and academic demands. Beyond this, I support people experiencing depression who want active, goal-oriented approaches to confront negative thinking and rediscover purpose. I work with trauma survivors prepared to work through painful experiences, individuals with mood disorders seeking greater equilibrium, and those navigating identity questions tied to life changes, relationships, or core values. What my clients have in common is readiness—they're committed to actively participating in their healing. They're looking for more than a listening ear; they want actionable tools, collaborative exploration, and proven methods that lead to real transformation. If you're willing to engage fully and commit to your own development, I'm ready to partner with you on that journey.Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

I grew up in South Florida with four sisters and two brothers. I was very independent at a very young age and willing to help out wherever. I am a musician starting with piano in elementary school, then clarinet in middle school, and bass clarinet and bassoon in high school. I love music and find it beneficial in every aspect of life. 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.

Maybe you just want to feel like yourself again. You might think--is this depression? Or am I just really low right now? It could be that your relationship is shaky, to the point of you wondering: "Should I leave my marriage?" Counseling helps you find clarity so you feel more calm, confident and peaceful. I offer research-based therapy (CBT, Gottman, DBT), and I offer faith-based counseling. Are you feeling anxious about your relationships? I walk with you as you make the tough choices.

Hi, I’m Jose, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is deeply passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Florida International University in 2019 and became licensed in 2022. I have several years of experience in community mental health, working with children, adolescents, and families, as well as providing crisis intervention for individuals at high risk of psychiatric hospitalization. I also work with adults navigating work-related stress, financial strain, PTSD, and trauma connected to their careers. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions. I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, grow, and create lasting positive change.

I am passionate about trauma and helping others who have suffered from trauma in the past. The impact of trauma is largely unrecognized and can last a lifetime. Additionally, symptoms of trauma masquerade as many other diagnoses. For example, thousands of children are diagnosed each year with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, when their symptoms are actually due to trauma. Trauma disguises itself as anger management issues, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks ... the list goes on and on. For me, treating trauma and helping others overcome its devastating effects is intensely rewarding.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 26 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with teens, young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

I have found that describing myself had never been a skill I have mastered throughout my years of experience. It just feels awkward, so I embrace the awkward. I would say that is how I approach the therapeutic relationship as well. I laugh at the absurd and try to make the awkwardness a friend. I name it so we can work with it in an authentic nonjudgemental manner. I always ask my clients to give therapy a chance and the therapist a chance as well. I say move on if by session three you are not "feeling it" with the therapist. It is okay if you don't like me as a therapist. This is your journey and I am your guide. The journey needs to be with someone who you connect with.

Are you having a difficult time getting through your day because your mind is wondering or you feel so down that you do not have any motivation? Do you feel confused because your mood is up and down? It may seem that it is never going to stop and I will always have these issues but I want you to know there is help out there and I can help you learn what it is that you are going through and teach you skills that help manage the feelings so you have more great days than low days. I will add some humor into our sessions because sometimes our emotions get to be too much and we need to just laugh once in a while. I love mixing different therapies because therapy techniques are not cookie cutter and one technique may work for one person but not another person. We will find what works best for you. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the concerns you have that are holding you back. Let's work together.

Hi, I’m Janelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply trying to adjust to a new season of life. I have a special interest in supporting women through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. These experiences can bring a mix of emotions that are often difficult to carry alone, and I strive to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered throughout the process. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and IFS while tailoring therapy to each client’s individual needs and goals. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-based counseling that incorporates Christian principles into the therapeutic process. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to be honest, explore patterns, build healthier coping skills, and move toward meaningful growth. I value a growth mindset and work alongside clients to help them develop resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create lasting change in their lives and relationships. Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate things alone. I look forward to being part of your journey.
