Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Puerto Rico based in Orlando, Florida, who blends warmth with structure to help you make real, measurable progress. I primarily work with Hispanic families, supporting parents, partners, and teens to untangle intergenerational patterns, navigate acculturation stressors, strengthen communication, and rebuild secure attachment while honoring culture, values, and family bonds. My style is active and evidence-based: expect a mix of DBT and solution-focused tools for quick wins, emotionally focused and attachment-informed work to get to the root, motivational interviewing to strengthen follow-through, and mindfulness skills to steady your nervous system. The clients often tell me they appreciate that I validate deep feelings without losing sight of action, and that I’m direct while still being kind. I bring a longstanding passion for psychology and a strong sense of fairness; that shows up as advocacy for your needs, thoughtful attention to context and culture, and a steady focus on rebuilding self-trust. I especially enjoy working with women, helping professionals, and busy parents who want both a safe space and a clear plan. When you’re ready, you can book a session directly from this profile.

My name is Keisha Williams. I am human, and I understand that challenges occur in our lives when we least expect it. I am a firm believer that everyone goes though "ups" and "downs"/"negatives" and "positives" at different times in their lives. It is natural to experience these feelings; however, please know that you don't have to stay "down". You can and will bounce back and be better than you were before.

Hi, I'm Kristen. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own, you're not alone.

I am a dedicated therapist who brings a compassionate, steady, and deeply human approach to the work I do. My clinical practice is shaped not only by years of professional experience, but also by my personal journey as a mother and wife navigating the complex realities of children facing serious health challenges. These experiences have strengthened my empathy, broadened my understanding of resilience, and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals through their most difficult moments. I specialize in telehealth therapy, providing accessible, high‑quality care for a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. In every session, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non‑judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and feel genuinely heard.

You look like you're holding it all together—but inside, you're exhausted. A comment, a change in tone, or a moment of silence can send your mind racing. You replay conversations, overanalyze everything, and hold everyone else together while quietly losing yourself. Hi, I'm Eva Chocron, LMFT. I specialize in helping anxious, high-functioning individuals who seem confident on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in painful relationship patterns on the inside. Maybe you've been told you're "too sensitive"—or you've just gotten very good at hiding it. I work with relationship anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, and unhealthy relationship patterns. Together, we'll help you stop second-guessing yourself, calm your nervous system, build boundaries without guilt, and strengthen emotional resilience. You don't want perfection anymore. You want peace. You want to trust yourself again. You want relationships where you can express your needs without feeling guilty, "too much," or afraid you'll push people away. You want to feel safe—not only in your relationships, but within yourself. I also work with couples navigating communication problems, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, trust after betrayal, and rebuilding intimacy—helping both partners feel heard, understood, and valued. I provide online therapy for anxiety, relationship issues, and couples across Florida and Virginia, in English and Spanish.

I help adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, struggling with motivation or focus, adjusting to a major change, or simply feeling like something needs to change, therapy can provide a space to better understand what’s going on and figure out what comes next. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and goal-focused. I want therapy to feel like a genuine conversation—not a lecture or a one-size-fits-all process. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while incorporating practical strategies and other approaches based on your individual needs, personality, and goals. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships that may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing. We’ll also develop realistic coping strategies, strengthen problem-solving skills, and find ways to apply what we discuss in therapy to your everyday life. Some sessions may focus on learning specific tools and strategies, while others may involve slowing down, processing difficult experiences, or simply having a space to talk openly and feel heard. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our approach as your needs evolve. Ultimately, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, feel more confident managing life’s challenges, and develop skills and insights that support meaningful, lasting change.

By actively listening to your concerns, worries, and issues that keeping you from your goals, you and I will get to work on overcoming those barriers.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting teenagers who have experienced trauma, which led me to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I am currently a social worker for a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in both IL and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, road-tripping in the Jeep, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids. I look forward to connecting with you :)

Welcome! I know how hard it can be to reach out for support. If you're here, I want you to know that you're not alone and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I'm someone who believes in the power of feeling seen, heard, and understood. I believe that therapy should feel like a real conversation where you can breathe, think, and be real, not a clinical checklist. I believe you deserve a space where you don't have to pretend, perform, or be "put together". Therapy with me is about helping you feel safe enough to be your real, unfiltered self. The parts that feel strong and the parts that feel messy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and for over 6 years I've helped adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. A lot of the people that I work with are tired of wearing masks- the "strong one", the "fun one", the "reliable one". Underneath, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or disconnected from who they used to be. I help create a space where you can take those masks off without fear. You don't have to know the right words. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just have to show up as you are. Together, we'll work through what you're carrying and build tools that feel realistic and fit your real life. If you're tired of pretending and ready for a space where you can just be real, I'd love to support you.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I am originally from Philadelphia , PA, so I have come to enjoy Florida’s climate. I came to Florida via the military. I am retired military and after serving for twenty-four years, I felt compelled to redirect my life toward caring for others in a more personal and meaningful way. I decided that clinical therapy would best tie into my natural and learned abilities as well as my desire to help people. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University Of Southern California with a primary focus in Children, Youth, and Families. I chose this focus because I believe every aspect of the family is important from the individual to the couple and family with children, and in many cases, the extended family. I am EMDR trained. I am also certified to work with all anxiety disorders. I have extensive experience working with neurotypical and neurodivergent clients living with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page on Grow! My name is Mailyn Paredes. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Sunshine: Florida and now more recently and excitingly, Oregon!

I’m a licensed therapist who strives to see families and parents learn new ways, techniques and strategies on how to cope with real life changes and see individuals learn about themselves and begin to process life challenges. I enjoy the traditional Florida lifestyle of exploring nature, the springs, the beaches and all the hiking trails and state parks Florida offers.

I know how easy it is to become the person everyone depends on while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or emotional pain underneath the surface. Many of the clients I work with are high functioning professionals, caregivers, parents, and leaders who are used to pushing through life while putting their own emotional needs on the back burner. Over time, that emotional weight can start showing up in relationships, work, sleep, mood, self esteem, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you no longer feel like you have to hold everything together alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy and work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in helping you heal and grow. Together, we will explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences may still be shaping the way you think, feel, react, and connect with others today. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful experiences so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. With over 16 years of experience in mental health and substance use recovery, I am passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and feel more emotionally connected, balanced, and like themselves again. I provide virtual therapy to clients in Georgia, Florida, and Virginia.

Hi there! Welcome to my practice. What would your life look like if anxiety, stress, or self-doubt no longer held you back? Do you find yourself overthinking, worrying about everything, or feeling emotionally drained? Life can feel challenging at times, and therapy can be a meaningful place to begin navigating those challenges with support. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

I look forward to meeting you and navigating life's challenges together, one step at a time.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals through trauma, addiction, eating disorders, and life transitions. I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, using evidence-based therapies to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I have been fortunate to serve in many different roles ranging from direct clinical care to program leadership across mental health, substance use, and eating disorder treatment settings. These experiences have deepened my understanding of not only the challenges individuals face, but also the systems of care that can support recovery. Whether I’m providing individual therapy or guiding a team of professionals, I am committed to helping each person move toward balance, growth, and a life that feels fulfilling. Outside of work, I enjoy playing video games and spending quality time outdoors with my family.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of dedicated clinical practice, specializing in the care of adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a Master’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Christian Studies, a unique combination that allows me to integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a holistic perspective that honors both psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing. My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, cultivate resilience, and discover their fullest potential. My therapeutic style is compassionate, structured, and client-centered, blending cognitive-behavioral strategies, multicultural sensitivity, and strengths-based interventions. I believe that therapy is not only about resolving difficulties but also about fostering growth, clarity, and purpose. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am adept at working across cultures and supporting diverse populations. My multicultural fluency enables me to bridge communication gaps and create safe, inclusive spaces for clients from different backgrounds. I have extensive experience in cross-cultural counseling, helping clients adapt to new environments, manage identity transitions, and strengthen relationships across cultural divides. My practice emphasizes: - Individual Growth: Supporting adults and adolescents in managing stress, trauma recovery, identity development, and personal empowerment. - Couples Therapy: Helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. - Family Systems Work: Guiding families through conflict resolution, parenting challenges, and intergenerational dynamics. My professional philosophy is simple yet profound: therapy is a collaborative journey toward becoming the best version of oneself. With empathy, precision, and cultural awareness, I empower my clients to embrace change, cultivate resilience, and live with greater authenticity.

You are seeking, that is what brought you here. Sometimes that may be a single event, a crisis, a trauma, or a series of events that have you weary. Life can bring us to a place where we need to do things differently and can't quite sort out what that looks like. My experiences working with community mental health, private practice, trauma, crisis, and critical incidents have equipped me understand how difficult challenges can be for individuals and families. My experience as a Social Worker provides the educational platform to help you explore all of the systems that influence your life. I believe my kind yet practical approach to counseling offers an opportunity for hope and change.

Feeling angry, frustrated or overly sad? Having difficulties in your relationship with family or friends? Changes in employment making staying focused and on task difficult? Have you found yourself being more withdrawn, hypervigilant, anxious or found yourself relying on alcohol, food or screen time to cope with stress? Sometimes we need a little extra support to gain clarity and explore other perspectives. Lets work together to explore healthier coping skills and make these situations feel less overwhelming for you. I believe a respectful, supportive, collaborative, free from judgement relationship is important for therapeutic healing. I am warm, caring and supportive. My specialties include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, parenting, relationship concerns and sex therapy. I work from a mindfulness approach and I am CBT and solution focused oriented. I enjoy working with clients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, gender, and sexual orientations. I believe in the power of choice and each persons ability to achieve their desired goals. I have a dual Masters in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and I’m currently working on my Ph.D in Clinical Sexology.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I moved to Florida from Nashville but have roots in Mississippi and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in April of 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. I used that degree to enroll at Capella University where I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in March of 2021. My passion for counseling started when I was very young. In my teenage years I participated in groups that worked to prevent teen suicide. This interest eventually worked its way into my adult life as a career in the mental health field. My first position after graduating with my Masters was assisting individuals whose substance abuse lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. Building on that, I also have experience with Veterans' issues, grief and loss, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationships, depression, anxiety, social fears and many other mental health diagnoses. I don’t believe that there is a one size fits all approach to an individual’s mental health. I use a wide range of techniques to best help my clients to achieve the goals they set forth during their time in treatment by developing strategies and coping skills to achieve optimal mental health.

Welcome! I’ve been working with individuals, couples and families pursuing counseling for more than over 19 years. My experience has centered around assisting adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting and adapting to the changes they are experiencing in life, grief and trauma. The philosophical foundation of my therapy is based on the understanding that what we think influences how we feel which impacts how we behave. Therefore, to change any behavior or feeling we first need to address our thinking. My goal in the counseling process is to assist you in improving the quality of your life by guiding you in how to manage, resolve, and/or reconcile those issues in your life creating difficulty for you.
