Many of my clients are capable and dependable, yet feel overwhelmed, scattered, emotionally drained, or caught in cycles of overthinking behind the scenes. My approach is warm, structured, and practical. Together, we’ll make sense of what is keeping you stuck, break challenges into manageable steps, and build tools that help daily life feel clearer and more manageable. SELF-PAY OPTIONS Self-pay is available for clients who prefer to receive care outside of insurance.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor holding a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Doctorate of Ministry in Biblical Counseling, I am dedicated to supporting my clients through life’s challenges to focus on the possibilities ahead. My belief is that each client’s compilation of struggles requires customized treatment suited to their needs. Regardless of the treatment style, I aim to help every client increase their self-awareness, gain new perspectives, decrease their symptoms, and increase awareness of their personal strengths.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, working through past trauma, or simply seeking a clearer understanding of yourself, I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to help you heal and grow. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who relocated from NY State to Florida and have been practicing for over 30 years. I enjoy teaching (and practicing) coping skills for stress, anxiety and depression. Everyone's journey is different and I see myself as respectfully accompanying one on their own journey, reflecting on experiences along the way.

Hello! I work with people who want help finding ways to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I help people recognize their strengths as we work together to overcome difficulties. Almost all of us struggle with many of the same questions. "Am I good enough?" "Why do I feel like I don't matter?" "Will I ever be truly happy when I seem to make the same choices over and over again?" Do you want to manage anxiety? Do you feel depressed? Have you experienced a trauma? Do you find yourself unable to finish projects or find your car keys? Are the kids struggling? Whatever is going wrong, a safe place to talk, knowing your trust will never be compromised, is a wonderful gift you can give yourself. During the first visit, we'll talk about what you want to see happen. Together will come up with a plan. Lasting change is possible. You can create a happy and fulfilling life.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent two decades teaching and coaching young adults, which means I am fluent in motivation, humor (sometimes sarcasm), and the art of redirecting chaos into purpose. This makes me particularly tuned in to working with veterans, teens/young adults, and anyone who is looking for a unique version of therapy. I blend advocacy, multicultural awareness, and deep compassion to support clients through the hard stuff while celebrating the good stuff.

Hi there, I'm Meredith! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida providing Telehealth services to clients statewide.

Hi, I’m Shari. With more than 26 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, I believe every person has inherent worth that exists beyond their struggles, diagnoses, or life circumstances. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to seeing people through mercy and grace, recognizing dignity beyond dysfunction, strength alongside suffering, and hope even in life's most difficult seasons. These principles shape how I understand each client's story and guide the therapeutic relationship we build together. I recognize that many of the ways people cope with anxiety, trauma, grief, or life's challenges began as creative ways to survive difficult circumstances. Rather than defining people by their symptoms or past experiences, I seek to understand their unique story, honor the resilience that has carried them this far, and help them build healthier patterns that support lasting healing and growth. I also believe spirituality is a source of meaning, hope, and resilience that is distinct from religious beliefs or practices. Whether you identify as religious, spiritual, both, or neither, I respect your values and will thoughtfully incorporate them into therapy only if they are important to you. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and evidence-based. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain insight, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with your strengths so you can move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I don’t believe therapy should be some boring clinical experience that you dread attending. I aim at creating a light hearted space for my clients to face whatever has brought them to my door. (Well technically I don’t have a door since its telehealth but you know what I mean) I talk so casually during sessions that you’ll feel like we’ve met before. I’ll ask you about what’s been going on and how you’re experiencing it. I’ll ask you how your much-needed date night went this past weekend, or how far you made it into that book you wanted to read. I sincerely want to know how you’ve been doing. I’m not afraid to talk about the hard or awkward stuff, and I’m also not afraid to let you know when you’re limiting yourself. Our therapy is a judgment free zone. You don’t judge my cats who sometimes make an appearance and I won’t judge you. I will put in the time and show up and if you will do the same great things can happen! Some of you may be here because you are going through something that is very painful and my idea of ‘fun’ therapy may not seem to fit. I encourage you to give it a chance. We will have the difficult conversations and cry the tears but perhaps my approach will make all of that a little more bearable.

Hi, I'm Holly, your future therapist who is honored to walk alongside you as you take reign over your life. Sometimes in life we are faced with unique challenges, problematic relationships, burnout and instability. Perhaps you have tried to overcome these struggles before, without success. Whether it's in your relationship with others or in your relationship with yourself, I can help. I assist individuals in building the courage to face their fears and cope with overwhelming stress while providing a safe and welcoming environment. Sometimes life can be challenging, but you don't have to go through it alone.

At the heart of my work is a belief in resilience—the understanding that every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and move forward, even when life feels overwhelming. I strive to create a safe, supportive space built on trust and open communication, where you can explore your experiences without judgment and at your own pace. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. Together, we focus on progress that feels meaningful to you, whether it’s navigating stress, improving relationships, managing emotions, or rewriting unhelpful patterns. I support individuals and couples in building healthier relationships through stronger communication, emotional regulation, and meaningful self-exploration. Whether you’re navigating conflict, feeling disconnected, or seeking greater clarity in your emotional world, I provide a supportive, structured space to develop insight and practice new skills. I view therapy as a journey of growth—one where you don’t have to walk alone. My goal is to empower you to reconnect with your strengths, discover new perspectives, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you want to become. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Are you often unable to take a moment to yourself and decompress? Do the people in your life call on you to handle or ‘fix’ situations?

I would describe myself as a goofy and radically empathetic therapist that struggles with severe ADHD and also anxiety. Not to mention the grief! I am big on being vulnerable myself. We must lead by example. I also am a strong believer in the power of connection. If you cannot connect with your therapist, research says that therapy is not likely to be effective. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship above all else. That is my foundation. That means I pride myself on not being a robot. I cannot believe I have to say this, but many students in therapy have told me that they have had robotic therapist. That is not me. I believe the most powerful therapeutic techniques are empathy and unconditional love, and those are the values I do my best to display consistently. I currently provide individual counseling to students at Miami Dade College and I have found that I really enjoy working with college students that recently graduated from high school. I find that the world treats them cruelly at such an overwhelming time of their lives and they deserve unconditional love, not tough love.

Are you experiencing a time of transition? Are you facing difficulty with a particular challenge that is impacting your mental health? Are you a person of faith seeking to incorporate your beliefs/spiritual practices in your mental health care plan? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want you to know that you do not have to manage your problems alone. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in faith-based ministries and a Master of Divinity (MDiv), I look forward to creating a welcoming virtual space where you can address barriers and create paths for your mental health and overall wellness. I am passionate about providing therapy to: 1. First and second-generation people impacted by im/migration, xenophobia, and racism. 2. Adults who struggle with self-worth, anxiety, and a sense of self due to conflict with family of origin or adverse childhood experiences. 3. Millenials and GenZers coping with crises related to employment, career, finances, relationships, boundaries, self-care, transitions and the daily demands of “adulting”. 4. Persons whose faith tradition and background have an impact on their wellbeing, decision-making, lifestyle, and mental health. Together, we will assess and prioritize needs, identify goals, create a treatment plan, evaluate progress, celebrate success, and make changes as necessary. I encourage you to reach out for support today. Your mental health matters!

Making the decision and moving forward with seeking therapy is a huge step and usually, it's the biggest challenge in therapy. From the moment you walk through my door, you've already got someone in your corner. I take pride in offering a supportive, calm, accepting, and safe environment for my clients. We will work together to identify thought patterns and behaviors, process your emotions, and explore your values and beliefs. We'll build healthy coping skills together. It may not be easy, but it will certainly be worth it. My education and experience has given me the ability to provide counseling in multiple areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, family issues, teen/adolescent issues, child issues, ASD, ADHD, among others.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and reaching out for support is a brave and powerful first step. I'm here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on and begin the process of healing and growth. I was drawn to this work because I’ve always been fascinated by how people heal, grow, and rebuild—even after really tough experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked with so many incredible individuals who’ve taught me about strength, vulnerability, and the power of connection. Being a therapist is more than a job to me—it’s something I feel truly honored to do. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and respect. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), ACT, and DBT to help you work through trauma, manage emotions, and build a more meaningful life. But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—together, we’ll figure out what works best for you.

I’m Kendall Barron, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background in school‑based mental health, now dedicated to supporting clients through telehealth. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, which has shaped my ability to understand patterns, listen deeply, and offer practical tools that truly help. I create a supportive and collaborative space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and build the confidence needed to move toward meaningful change.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am a former school counselor who spent over 20 years helping students and their families work corporately to identify and manage feelings and behaviors that impacted daily functioning. I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in teaching and completed my graduate work in counseling at Florida International University and Barry University. My passion for being in this field comes from believing that every individual should have a safe space to work through life challenges while feeling supported.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with almost eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master’s degree from Barry University and have a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, school or work stress, or relationship difficulties. In our work together, I focus on teaching healthy coping strategies, improving communication skills, and finding effective ways to manage emotional triggers. My goal is to empower you to feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your daily life. Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and playing card games. I’m dedicated to ongoing learning, both personally and professionally, so I can continue to provide the best support possible. I believe that every challenge offers an opportunity for growth, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and change. Above all, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

Hi, I’m a therapist with 5 years of experience in the mental health field, including time spent working in a women’s correctional facility and supporting adolescents as a school social worker for the past 3 years. These roles have given me deep insight into the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing.

My name is Michael and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. As a psychotherapist, my vocation is supporting individuals, working together on your journey toward self-discovery, healing, and learning to thrive from the comfort and convenience of your home or office, and when it is most convenient for you. My work commonly addresses individuals experiencing difficulties in life due to problems stemming from difficulties early in life, anxiety, depression, major life changes, academic challenges (undergrad, graduate, post-graduate studies), the discomfort of feelings that go along with hypervigilance, procrastination, and perfectionism. Sometimes, we need help from someone new, experienced with developing collaborative relationships to find strengths we take for granted, and to embrace that we can be the person we’re meant to be. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or major life changes? Let’s talk! I do not prescribe medication, and I do not see clients under the age of 18.

I want to start by connecting with you in a safe space. I believe growth comes from the courage to face its truth and challenging circumstances in a safe and supportive environment. My role as a therapist is to respect your life experiences and explore the support you need for individual internal growth. My therapy approach provides unique ways to identify what changes you want to embrace and assist you in tapping into your inner strength. My intrinsic style is a genuine humanistic approach, and I encourage clients to take advantage of their ideas through individual reorientation. I want my client to visualize that their therapist has a big flashlight so they can navigate their potential to have a more balanced approach in their everyday life.

I provide a calm, collaborative space for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, self-doubt, life transitions, or feeling stuck who want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My approach is thoughtful and reflective, helping clients explore patterns, build self-awareness, and gain clarity about what matters most to them. I do not provide psychological evaluations, disability/FMLA documentation, emotional support animal letters, or medication management.

Hey there, I’m Dr. Gittelson (you can call me Dr. G. for short) and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. I know how difficult it can be to start therapy, and if you are reading this then you have already taken a step to getting started and that is a huge win! Whether you are seeking therapy in-person or from the comfort of your couch (pet cameos are always welcome), I aim to create a space that is grounded, supportive, and free of judgement. I am so glad that you are here! If you’re interested, below is a little more about how I developed my clinical background and areas of training: My path in psychology began at Florida International University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I later completed my Psy.D. at Nova Southeastern University, with training in neuropsychological assessment as well as clinical work in foster care and the dependency court system. During my doctoral internship at the Mental Health Center of Florida, I worked across community mental health, family court, and private clinical settings with a wide range of individuals and families. I went on to complete my postdoctoral fellowship at Alliance for Psychological Services, where I provided therapy and psychological assessments in forensic and high-intensity settings, including court-mandated work involving family court, dependency court, and the Department of Corrections. Today, I provide both therapy and psychological assessment. My clinical work often centers around anxiety, depression, trauma histories, life transitions, and complex family dynamics. I also have a strong interest in sports and performance psychology, particularly in supporting athletes and high-performing individuals who want to strengthen the connection between mental and physical performance.
