Hello and welcome. I’m Shakis Farmer, and for more than ten years I’ve supported children, adults, and families in both schools and the community. Taking the step toward therapy shows strength, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel safe, valued, and truly heard. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but growth becomes possible when we have the right tools and support. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover solutions, restore balance, and reconnect with the strengths you already carry within you. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can create a path forward that feels empowering and meaningful.

Hi, I’m Katya. If you’re considering therapy, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward—even if you’ve been trying to handle things on your own. If you’ve wondered whether therapy will actually help you, you’re in the right place. I see therapy as a practical, collaborative space where we focus on real progress, not perfection. My approach is strengths-based and grounded in tools that help you understand patterns that keep you stuck, manage emotions more effectively, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Therapy isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about building steadiness, clarity, and self-trust so you can move through life with more resilience. I often think of therapy like a climb: progress isn’t always about pushing harder. Sometimes it means pausing, reassessing, and finding your next steady hold. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, relationship challenges, or ongoing stress, my goal is to help you feel more grounded and supported as you move forward. I work with individuals and families in a collaborative way, meeting you where you are and creating a process that feels practical, respectful, and empowering.

My name is Amanda, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida, Massachusetts, and Nevada. I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a concentration in Criminology. I completed my Masters in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. My training includes various modalities, but my approach is often person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I am always seeking to learn more in all areas, in effort to provide the best support that I can to the individuals that I work with.

I’m a therapist who is passionate about helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds navigate life’s challenges and connect more deeply with their strengths, values, and goals. Whether you're dealing with the effects of trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, managing ADHD, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth are possible. With years of experience in both mental health and advocacy, I bring a social justice and multicultural lens to my work. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment for all clients—regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity; where you feel seen, respected, and heard.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I received my Master's from Saint Leo University and have been in private practice since 2023. Prior to this I have worked in the mental health field for the last 6 years. I help clients of all ages, however work mostly with adolescent and young adults especially within the LGBTQ+ community.

Hello, my name is Tai-Isha. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the social work field. I have a deep passion for supporting women and adolescent girls as they find their path to healing and empowerment. My inspiration and passion for helping others comes from my own lived experiences. I am committed to providing a space where women can truly feel understood and supported.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Mind-Body-Soul Coach, I work with seasoned therapy clients who are ready to take their therapy to the next level and dive deeper. My approach moves beyond the surface of traditional talk therapy to integrate holistic health for the Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul. With specialized certifications in Spiritually Integrated Therapy and Integrative Mental Health, I bridge the gap between clinical expertise and holistic wisdom. Whether we are incorporating your unique spiritual beliefs or exploring natural alternatives for emotional well-being, our work is tailored to your specific path. Because stress often lives in the body, I utilize my Somatic training as a Certified Vagal Toning Practitioner to help you move out of "fight or flight" and release stored emotions and trauma. I will teach you practical tools to balance your nervous system through strengthening the Vagus Nerve, allowing you to build genuine resilience to trauma and daily stressors. Through this deep work, we will identify past patterns that no longer serve you, and we will alchemize your pain into power. By setting intentional, soul-aligned goals, I will help you step into your highest self and live with more vitality and purpose!

Do you feel like you just "can't anymore" or torn between life's happenings, feeling overwhelmed? Have you had those moments of just wishing you can be better? Do better? I empower individuals to overcome these thoughts and realities brought upon depression, anxiety, trauma or just life. This is normal. I strongly believe in our own gift and strength to push through adversities. Resilence. We are humans and it's normal to hurt, and to struggle, but it is also within us to get back up. We can work together to carve out or refine those strengths already within you to propel you toward your goal. I use a person-centered approach and take from the many modalities to best fit your needs, including CBT, EMDR and EFT. Considering therapy is brave. Having that first session is a milestone. Overcoming and functioning through challenges is the goal! I am glad to work together and through what you're experiencing. I am here for you.

I am so happy you are here! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL. I specialize working with teens and adults navigating trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, and/or relationship/friendship/family challenges. I also have specialized experience working with individuals who have lost loved ones to suicide. My approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive space where clients can build trust, explore their experiences, and develop coping strategies to foster healing and resilience. I will help guide and support you through healing from the past, finding the balance you deserve, and becoming the best version of yourself.

I have been a clinical mental health therapist and behavior analyst for children and adults. I have treated and helped people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, problems with motivation and other life issues unique to each person. I have worked in schools, outpatient practices and homes. My experience has led to form a unique and diverse system for identifying and assessing challenging behavior patterns. I value the human experience and understand that just because a problem is identified, change is not automatic. Understanding the patterns that maintain behavior and thinking patterns can take asking the right questions and exploring unique alternatives to those patterns.

I am a therapist who helps build compassionate relationships with the different parts of themselves. I believe that every part, even the ones that feel reactive, anxious, or ashamed, has a positive intention and deserves to be understood. In therapy, I support you in reconnecting with your calm, grounded Self so you can navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that healing becomes possible when we feel fully seen.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I am passionate about supporting teens and young (in age and at heart) adults, particularly those navigating life’s complexities and searching for a path to inner peace and balanced character. With a background in both psychology and health science (earning a double major Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Health Science with concentrations in Social and Behavioral and Biological Health Science from the University of South Florida), I integrate a holistic understanding of mental, social, and physical well-being into my therapeutic practice.

I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience in addiction treatment, acute mental health, and behavioral health care. My background includes years of direct clinical work supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult challenges, with a focus on recovery, resilience, and long-term wellness. As a military veteran who served overseas and a cancer survivor, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process. These personal experiences have deepened my empathy, strengthened my commitment to service, and given me an authentic understanding of what it means to face adversity and rebuild.

My name is Andrea. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the state of FL and NY. I have over 14 years of experience working with children and adults in inpatient and outpatients settings, including corrections. I was raised in NY by West Indian (Caribbean)/Asian parents. I then moved to FL where I earned my BA in Psychology and Masters in Mental Health Counseling. My passion is helping others figure out this crazy thing called life, and learn how to live with more satisfaction. My approach to therapy is person centered. This means it will be tailored to each person's specific needs. I enjoy building rapport with my patients to help encourage a healthy therapeutic relationship and allow my patients to feel as comfortable as possible. So whether it's anxiety, depression, or trauma etc., let's figure this out together!

Hey! I am Renata. If you are here, you are probably contemplating change. My favorite quote is "tradition is the enemy of progress." There will not be sustained change without addressing potential problems in the way we have traditionally approached our circumstances. If you are open to stepping outside of traditional patterns, you may be ready for a journey of change.

Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth. By combining psychotherapy and clinical social work theories within a strength-based model, I help clients build coping strategies, discover new tools, and reclaim their sense of well-being. Our work together will focus on developing a trusting, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship—one that is grounded in empathy, respect, and validation, without pity or blame. My practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, all within a behavioral change framework. These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you move forward with resilience, clarity, and hope. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. My role is to walk beside you, providing guidance, insight, and encouragement as you rediscover your strength and reclaim your light.

My focus is to support individuals and couples in healing as they become aware of their inner strengths. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who have experienced trauma and suffer from addiction, anxiety, grief, or depression. I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), which include identifying and confronting negative thoughts, using guided imagery, visualization, and other coping and relaxation strategies. These techniques have proven incredibly effective in managing a multitude of issues. This is achieved by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and together customizing a treatment plan. The plan will utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, delivered through a client-centered approach, with the client’s needs and desired outcomes in mind. These methods are effective for people struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, anger, PTSD, self-image, and anyone seeking skills empowering you to live your best life.

Hi, I’m Yadiel Muñoz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with six years of professional experience. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma, and issues related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. While every person’s journey is unique, I’ve consistently seen clients begin to experience meaningful progress within our first four sessions together. My goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and strategies you need to thrive—and ultimately reach a place where you feel empowered and no longer need my support. I’m committed to creating a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. In our work together, you’ll find both a trusted partner you can confide in and a guide who will compassionately challenge you to grow.

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 am Licensed Mental Health Therapist for the State of Florida with over 12 years of extensive experience of counseling individuals from all diverse backgrounds. I am originally from Haiti and have found a great passion for my culture and a true appreciation for differences in all people. I have worked as a Psychotherapist in an inpatient Psychiatric setting, Mobile Crisis Response setting, and Outpatient Office and school Based Therapy setting. My philosophy in therapy is Life has many waves and therapy allows the clinician and the individual to find balance in the midst of life's ups and downs. An individual is most likely to achieve positive outcomes in therapy when a trusting, collaborative relationship exists between the therapist and client, accompanied by high-quality therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's unique needs.

Being a mom of four myself, I know how easy it is to put everyone else first and lose sight of your own needs. Life doesn’t pause when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched too thin—and sometimes it feels impossible to catch your breath, let alone take care of yourself. That's where therapy comes in. With over 14 years of experience, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the work I do. I use evidence-based approaches that are proven to help create lasting results.

Hello! I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor based out of Davenport, Florida doing virtual therapy. I have been practicing for 14 years working with men, women and couples.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

Hello there! I chose to become a counselor because I saw a gap in services for those from the LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergent communities. As a member of these communities, it was incredibly important to me that they have the same opportunity to receive quality, knowledgeable services as their straight, cisgender, neurotypical peers. As someone with a background in theatre, I enjoy bringing my creativity into session and believe that the arts can be incredibly healing. After receiving my master's from the University of Central Florida in 2020, I started my private practice and have continued to grow since then. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. and hope to educate future counselors and conduct research regarding counseling practices for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience working with diverse individuals in the community, private practice, and residential substance abuse treatment. Never in a million years did I ever think providing counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups, would be the career to captivate my heart….but it is! My specialties are working with clients who may be suffering from traumatic incidents, substance abuse, various forms of anxiety (PTSD, stress disorders), depression, self-esteem, and gender identity. Making the decision to receive any form of mental health counseling can be taxing, however, the results are often positive and rewarding. Learning to face your fears in a healthy and appropriate manner is a sign of growth and maturity. It is not an easy task. You will cry, laugh, and maybe feel a little uncomfortable at times. This is just the therapeutic process working to make you emotionally stronger. *Please note that my preference for treatment sessions are individual and group therapy. However, I do provide a limited number of couples or family therapy sessions for special circumstances.

I received my Master's from the University of the Cumberlands in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and my Master's from the University of The Cumberlands In Addictions Counseling.

Hello, it will soon be great to meet you as you visit my Grow Therapy Provider Profile. I'm Jacqueline Gibb, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I work with all ages in the Tampa FL area. You can meet with me for an in-office visit or teletherapy. I enjoy working with clients who feel they struggle with a wide range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, focus and concentration issues, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder to name a few. It can be frustrating when an individual is struggling emotionally with more negative than positive feelings and it can keep an individual feeling stuck in their emotional pain. I have diligently studied the understanding of the amygdala in the brain and how the amygdala and hippocampus interprets emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that can keep a person feeling that they can't break free from the negative memories of their past. Also, these painful memories will continue to remind individuals of the traumatic event(s) they went through. Remember, you're not alone and you are valuable. The trainings that I've received can move you forward toward your life goals and the good news is that you and I working together to reduce the negative thoughts and feelings you have had to suffer through. Now, you can obtain the sense of belonging and joy you deserve in this life without negative thoughts and feelings popping up in your head when you least expect them. I also believe psychoeducation is an important part of the healing process. This helps you to understand certain types of thinking patterns and behavior reactions the human brain does and how you can reduce and stop those type of negative feelings as you move forward with healing. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating individuals with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I work with all faith denominations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

There is one thing I am gifted at and that’s touching the lives of others through therapy.

Anxiety spiraling? Stuck in survival mode? You’re not broken—just burnt out. I’m Stacey, a licensed therapist who helps adults break free from substance use, anxiety, and emotional overload. Using proven tools like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, we’ll build real-life coping skills that actually work. No judgment, just support. Let’s take the first step toward feeling grounded, clear, and in control again.

I have worked with children and families covering a variety of issues including grief and loss, adoption and foster care, attachment, parenting skills, communication skills, divorce, and adjusting to changes in life and environment. I am knowledgeable in treating the following but not limited to grief, adjustment disorders, ADHD, anxiety and self esteem issues. I have extensive experience working with, and supporting, our military connected members and their families. My current focus is working with individuals of the adolescent and adult population.

Going through a change can be very tough and hard to navigate. Whether the changes are good or difficult, they can still be hard to work through. I can help you find a balance with the changes occurring in your life and the peace you hope to feel. Together we can work as a team to locate solutions to find acceptance and work out a plan to help you move forward in your life in a way that brings fulfillment. I use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. Although I can help you work through most changes you might be experiencing, I have many year's experience working with individuals in the Hospice setting, helping patients and survivors find peace during the end of life with dignity. These experiences have been strengthened by my personal journey with breast cancer, which has given me a perspective on the other side. I hope I can use my 30 plus years' experience as a therapist and my personal experience as a cancer survivor to help you learn how to find happiness and peace in your life.

You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of being heard. You are worthy of healthy, nourishing relationships. You are more than your mistakes or challenges. Sometimes life circumstances and events can cloud the ability to believe this. Deciding to take a chance on therapy is a significant and, often, daunting step. But you are not alone! The past 7 years of my life as a clinician have been enriched with countless opportunities to help others discover the greatness that is within them. I have served in a variety of capacities, including as an outpatient substance use treatment counselor, a trauma and attachment-focused therapist for adoptive families, and as a behavioral health therapist in a primary care clinic. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship difficulties, I am here to walk alongside you. We'll take a holistic approach on this journey together, where you will be empathically supported in a truly non-judgmental manner. I am here to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to make positive change for a more fulfilling life. I would be honored to partner with you! PLEASE NOTE: My current schedule openings are Mondays and Fridays 6:15pm-8:30pm.

We are on this journey toward healing, change, growth, forgiveness, and understanding. Even though you are the main participant in your story, many times in life we lose sight of where the way is, or even how to find it, so I invite you to join me on this path. Humbly, without judging you or even assuming that I know more, allow me to lend you a different perspective and hopefully see the pain transformed.
