Hello, I am Fabiola Desire. Thank you for choosing me and you are in great hands! I want to be able to get you through your life challenges. I have provided a safe place you to share the most sensitive moments in your life. Therapy can be difficult as we discussed vulnerable and sensitive events they may have happened in your life. However, seeking therapy can give you a sense of empowerment, freedom, and a place for you to heal and see things from a different perspective. I am here to be along with you during this journey. Clients have been able to share the most difficult events in their lives with me. I provide support, comfortable and safe place for you to share your life.
As a dedicated licensed mental health counselor and wellness advocate, I am passionate about guiding individuals towards holistic well-being through the integration of mental health support and lifestyle adjustments. With a compassionate approach and a commitment to personalized care, I strive to empower my clients to cultivate resilience, achieve balance, and thrive in all aspects of their lives. Drawing upon evidence-based practices and a client-centered approach, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether facing anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, chronic illness, grief and loss, or life transitions, I offer guidance and strategies to promote healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and clinical hypnotherapist specializing in life success for all ages. The more you look into the darkness, the lighter it becomes. This is my life statement. I have seen the darkest times, and the worst of times, and have experienced personal failures in life. When I speak with clients it is from a place of empathy, understanding, compassion, and non-judgment. No one promised this life of ours would be easy, but I can promise to serve you as you work towards healing yourself. I believe that you are the expert yourself, and I am just a guide here to show you some of the tools, skills, and therapeutic approaches I have acquired.
I believe therapy is an opportunity to provide a safe place for individuals to break free of old ideas, patterns and wounds that are restricting their happiness and contentment. I believe therapy can be empowering by providing new ways for coping and dealing with life’s stressors. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, down to earth and compassionate. I have a great sense of humor and an open mind which allows me to quickly connect with others and create a safe therapeutic environment. My natural positive energy helps my clients improve their lives by developing better cognitive and emotional skills.
Ready to spill? You're in the right place! My name is Nancy, I'm a neuro-affirming therapist (ADHD fam I see you) and your future emotional support human (if you want me to be). I offer individual therapy grounded with clinical insight, millennial energy, and spice from South India! I hope you and I can soon spill the chai! Let me go first. I was raised in the diverse neighborhoods of Queens, NY (yes, just like your friendly neighborhood Spiderman) where I developed a deep cultural competence that now enrich my therapeutic approach. I grew up living with progressive vision loss so I know what it feels like when life starts to unravel. I was night blind by the age of 11 and lost 80% of my vision over the years. Trust me, I know what a Menty B, (especially growing up with all the pressures and expectations of the Indian culture). Whether you're untangling your identity, spiraling at 3 am, or doom-scrolling your way out of an existential crisis, I got you.
My approach blends several therapeutic styles:
Psychodynamic Therapy: to uncover how childhood and family dynamics still show up today (yep, we’re going there)
CBT: to help reframe those “I’m not enough” thoughts
Mindfulness: because sometimes we just need to breathe and not dissociate
Culturally Sensitive Trauma-Informed Care: to support deep insight and generational healing
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. We’ll laugh, cry, unpack, and grow (sometimes all in one session) You deserve a space where you don’t have to over-explain yourself, mask your emotions, or code-switch your pain. I bring my full, authentic self into our sessions so you can too. If you're ready to start healing or just want to vibe-check a therapist who gets it, book a consult or book your session now!
I am passionate about humans!

Hi! I'm Dorian.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida - a Jax native with a recent move south to the Space Coast. I received my Masters of Social Work from Florida State University in 2014 focusing on clinical social work.
I approach therapy with flexibility and adaptability, focusing on what will best align with you, the client. But, of note, I do so very casually, honestly, conversationally, and course, hilariously (the latter, though subjective, has been confirmed. By me.) . Opening yourself up to therapy can be intimidating! A bit scary! But there's no requirement stating you must dread it.
Through my views on mental health, self help, and all kinds of therapy - combined with, well, my personality - it seems that I've become adept at a sort of "stealth therapy." Admittedly self-defined, I'd best explain this by saying that sessions are conversational, instead of a "traditional" therapist-role to client-role back and forth.
Just kidding. But, I approach therapy in a way I . I don't speak in riddles, and I won't pretend that I know you better than you know you. I listen, I hear your words -- your input has value and I will never dismiss you or your concerns.
I am a Licensed Mental Health counselor in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, with

advocate. Other areas of expertise include, but are not limited to; PTSD treatment, depression and anxiety,
stress management, ADHD, grief and loss issues, veterans needs and issues.
Please note: I specialize in children and adolescents and only work with this population. If you are an adult seeking services for yourself, please do not book.
With over 16 years of experience practicing therapy with children and adolescents in a variety of settings I have extensive knowledge helping children and families overcome mental health challenges. I believe in making therapy fun and engaging for your child. If they are struggling with difficulties at home or school, I can teach them coping skills so they can help themselves feel better. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, anger, depression, OCD, PTSD, stress management, and parenting.
I believe parents are the key to change. There is no rule book for raising kids or teens, but I help parents navigate behavioral challenges and will work with you to rebuild your relationship with your child. I create a warm and welcoming environment where children, teens, and parents feel empowered and supported. Life is stressful and we all need help from time to time.

I help high performing professional adults, age 25 and older, navigate high functioning anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, emotional eating, career challenges, burnout from career, caregiving and life, relationship issues like communication issues, conflict resolution, life transitions, and burnout, focusing on building understanding, connection, and intimacy. I also assist with betrayal trauma, breakup recovery, and attachment patterns.
Amidst the chaos and confusion, choosing to begin therapy is a powerful and courageous step, and welcome. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. I take an eclectic approach that tailors to your unique needs and goals. I am here to work with you to provide a safe and supportive environment to help guide you through the challenges you are facing. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or managing depression and anxiety, we work together where I empower you with insight to help you get to where you want to be.
Welcome! Thank you for checking out this space. My name is Tammy. If you have struggled with traditional talk therapies and feel like they haven't always met your needs then you are at the right spot. I use several different evidence based modalities to help reset your nervous systems, update the way your mind had been processing information to clear out trauma or lingering emotions that have been stuck on.
I believe we all have had those times where we ask ourselves; why can't I just get myself to start or stop doing (______) fill in the blank. It is because where we are conscious of things is not where things are being caused.
Ready to develop skills and understand yourself in a way that helps you move into the desired behavior you have been wanting, release emotions and energy that no longer are serving a purpose for you greater good. Then let's meet to discuss your personal needs further and go from there!
