Hello and welcome, my name is Elena, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from The University of South Florida and have been in the social work field for 8 years. I've worked in the medical field where I've had experience working with individuals in crisis, battling health issues, grief, loss, anxiety and depression. I help young adults and elder adults going through life transitions.

My name is Danaisy Victores with over 14 years of experience in guiding individuals and couples through life’s most challenging moments, I bring a unique blend of conventional therapeutic methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an insightful Kaballistic approach to healing. This combination allows me to address both the practical and spiritual aspects of mental health, supporting my clients in achieving lasting transformation. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with adults, couples, and individuals affected by domestic violence, as well as those struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their inner world, gain new perspectives, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with adults, adoptees, and trauma. My therapeutic approach revolves around building a relationship with my clients and establishing the core issue of what is a challenge for them by facilitating a place for them to be transparent with themselves, judgment-free. I have experience working with all walks of life and have held an assortment of different roles in the field working with social services, foster care, adoption, and healthcare. These experiences have made me well-rounded when it comes to addressing cultures and beliefs that differ from my own. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.

We all struggle to get through life. Sometimes it feels like we are sinking instead of swimming and there is no one around to help you keep your head above water. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy more of life and decrease your stress and frustrations? I enjoy helping people who want to succeed in making their life meaningful and fulfilling while decreasing their emotional dysregulation, stress, and feeling overwhelmed with life. I provide the space you need to share your concerns and struggles and work with you to overcome your obstacles.

Each individual presents with unique experiences and challenges. My aim is to meet you where you are at and help you reach the next personal goal you have set whether it be self-discovery or coping with various challenges. I help by bringing humor and empathic listening to every session. I aim to understand your experience in your eyes and feel what you feel. I hope to help you see that others can help you through the challenges that you are facing. My goal is to help bring a strong connection to the time you spend with me in therapy. The connection made in therapy can lead to strong bonds in your personal life and better decision-making. Through a person-centered and solution-focused approach, we will be able to help you process trauma or discover the person you aspire to be.

Most of the time the hardest part of change is the decision to do something different. There are times when we need some help to bring focus, clarity, and peace to our lives. At Purple Heart Counseling, I utilize a mindfulness and introspective approach to help identify your thoughts and feelings. We can focus on your goals and strive towards you living a more optimal and healthy life. I would like to be able to help you create a safe place and a safe space that you feel comfortable to work on the issues that are impacting you. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.

Feeling tense and on edge, restless, ruminating all the time, can't get out of bed, constantly worrying and feeling annoyed and irritable? While these feelings can be quite unsettling I understand just how to help you make the next move to feeling better. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Florida with over 11 years of experience working with individuals on a host of different issues from depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, self esteem and many more. I have worked in a many different setting and all those experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength and I am right there to help you walk through those difficult times. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination by incorporating prayer and the Word along with therapeutic interventions. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless and it is your choice to make. Even an ounce of success is better than no success. Take that leap of faith and start living a changed life.

I am Shamona McFadden, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have over 13 years experience providing therapeutic interventions and consulting in areas where stagnation or obstacles hinder clients from performing at a certain level of normalcy. I believe in a well-rounded approach to wellness specializing in mental health, relationships, family therapy, fitness/nutrition, and much more. It is imperative for clients to understand the process included in therapy to not only feel better, but to also maintain a certain level of health through self-care once sessions are completed.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

John Checkett is the first man in history to earn a master's degree in Women's Studies in Florida. How many times has this happened to you: You've made an innocent remark, and the other person distorts it and blames you for the distortion, not for what you actually said. That's called the Strawman Argument and is a common problem of communication -- communication typically being the single biggest problem couples have. Communication is one of the social sciences, and one of John's specialties, along with Women's Studies, Pastoral Psychology and Clinical Social Work. He helps high-functioning men and women free themselves from low self-esteem and negative thinking. As a former officer in the Theosophical Society and a former professional psychic, he firmly believes in the value of Spirituality to Mental Health. He can also help with exercise and nutrition, to help create a holistically healthy situation for you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship problems, or just feel overwhelmed, Prof Checkett is here to help -- even with time management! You might feel bit nervous about starting therapy, but he's extremely easy to talk to, knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects, and very media-literate. Most people feel better after a session.

My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults.

As a counselor, I have experience working with a wide range of client identified issues including: depression, anxiety, PTSD, low self-worth, anger issues, communication issues, caregiver burnout, life transitions, and childhood trauma. I strive to help clients work through challenges and gain new insight and perspectives. I’d love the opportunity to help you work toward becoming the best version of yourself. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse disorders, adjustment disorders, life transitions, primary caregivers, PTSD, and childhood trauma. I have experience working with, and alongside law enforcement officers, first responders, and veterans. I provide both traditional counseling and equine assisted psychotherapy to adults 18 and older.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been practicing for several years. I work with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered to build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and develop greater self-awareness. Together, we work toward feeling more confident, connected, and emotionally balanced.
