Hello!

I'm Jim, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Florida and Connecticut.  I'd like to support you in building the life you imagine!

Life can be happy, joyous, and fulfilling.  However, life can also be challenging at times.  Challenges may involve external situations which we're currently facing, they may be internal struggles involving our feelings and thoughts, or both.  During these challenging times, it is often beneficial to work with an empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist who will assist you in taking the steps necessary to deal with such challenges effectively and move forward with your life.

I have 14 years of experience as a therapist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with a variety of issues.  I have worked as a therapist in a nonprofit outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment agency, treating clients with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.  As a primary therapist in an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility, I have supported clients as they begin their journeys of sobriety and recovery.  I have also assisted patients and family members facing end-of-life issues as a home hospice social worker.

About Me
Welcome—I’m Emmanuel Nzuzu.
If you’re here, something within you knows that the way things are… is not the way they’re meant to be.
You may be carrying more than you let on—On the outside, you may still be functioning. But internally, it feels different.
And at some point, you begin to recognize: You cannot keep living this way.
In our work together, you are faced with a powerful choice:
You can continue to think about your life as it is… or begin to see it as it should be.
You can stay anchored in your current reality… or start creating a new one.
You can focus on how heavy things feel… or on how different they could become.
You can keep revisiting the problem… or begin building the solution.
My role is to guide you through that shift—with clarity, structure, certainty, and intention.
I provide a private, grounded space where you can safely confront what you’ve been carrying—without judgment, and without losing yourself in it. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, emotional overwhelm, or internal conflict, we work to help you regain control by taking your power back from the patterns that have been quietly running your life.
Together, we move beyond survival.
You will learn to steady your mind, regulate your emotions, and become guided by a clear vision of your future and not memories of the past.
This is not about managing symptoms. It is about reclaiming your clarity, your strength, and your direction—and building a life that reflects who you truly are. 
If you’re ready to stop living in what is… and begin creating what should be, I’m here.

Silvio Fina

I'm Juan Carlos Martell, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and the founder of Psych Life Incorporated. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation — not a clinical evaluation. When you sit with me, you're not a diagnosis or a case file. You're a person navigating something difficult, and you deserve to be met with warmth, honesty, and genuine understanding. 

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy to help you work through what's weighing you down while reconnecting with what actually matters to you. CBT gives you practical, evidence-based tools to shift the thought patterns keeping you stuck. Existential therapy invites us to go deeper, exploring questions about identity, purpose, and the kind of life you truly want to build. Together, they create change that's both practical and meaningful. 

I work with adults and teens in navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-doubt, and the quiet question so many of us carry: "Is this really the life I want?" Sessions with me are warm, direct, and free of jargon. You'll leave with tools you can actually use — not just insight, but real strategies for your everyday life. 

Outside the therapy room, I'm a published author of The Adventures of Kevin and Friends, a children's mental health book series designed to help families talk openly about emotions like anxiety, depression, and bullying. I'm also the creator of PsychLife on Instagram, where I've spent years making psychology accessible to people who never thought therapy was "for them," and the founder of MindfulPractice, an upcoming mental health app rooted in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. Everything I do comes back to one mission: making mental health real, relatable, and within reach. You don't have to figure it out alone. Be the artist of your own life.

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Do you feel like there are issues seemingly out of your control that are holding you back from living the life you want to live? If you answered yes to either of these questions, I want you to know that help is available! My name is Brian Cooper, and I am one of your local licensed clinical social workers. I come to you with over 25 years of experience and have worked with individuals, couples and groups in a variety of settings.
I am well-versed in assisting clients with issues surrounding, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment disorders, mood disorders, family conflicts, chronic illness, career counseling and male issues just to name a few. I understand on a personal level how internal and external struggles impact our lives and the lives of those around us. I have had the opportunity to help many over the years to realize their full potential and see the beauty in the world around them again. I come from a holistic perspective and understand the mind and body connection. I truly believe everyone deserves help if they are struggling and I want to help you on your journey to wellness.


Brian Cooper

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical.

My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses.

In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships.

When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Hi, I'm David Hobbs. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives in general, dramatically. For the past 5 years, I have incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that  aspect of one's personality in relation to improving their overall sense of emotional well-being. I have recently authored a book, "God is Love, Revelations From Spiritually Transformative Experiences," to help enlighten others  who have questions about God and spirituality, and incorporate these lessons into their everyday  lives.

I want to know if you are tired of feeling anxious or depressed, you've tried, but nothing has helped, it just keeps spiraling? Do you feel confused and conflicted, maybe feeling like you need to change but have no idea how? Are you feeling stressed about a job, a relationship, not having a social life, or like you're functioning at a low level? Are you experiencing mood swings, in relapse mode, or struggling with post traumatic stress? Acknowledging the situation was the first step, that is self-awareness. Now making the decision to seek guidance because you haven't healed or changed on your own, is the second step. You've made progress already.

I specialize in helping you decide what you need, what you want, and finding out how to make the changes that will open doors for the new you. We walk part of your path together; I may be your guide but you are the driver. I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, focused on what you need in your life right now. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that helps clients quickly make changes by accessing the deep roots that keep the negative and painful emotions alive. We access what lies beneath the thoughts and words, making changes in the emotional brain; by the end of the session, you feel empowered, happy, light-hearted.

Hello, I'm Tamesha Wiggins, a client centered psychotherapist passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and understood. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted please know you don't have to go through it alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's weighing on you and begin to heal at your own pace. I work with adults, couples, families, and older adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the deep often invisible wounds left by narcissistic abuse and divorce.

Tamesha Wiggins

My professional path began in high-pressure corporate environments where performance, long hours, and responsibility were expected. After more than two decades in complex global organizations — earning an MBA from George Washington University and completing postgraduate work at Emory University — I saw firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can destabilize both professional and personal life.

For the past seven years, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, Drug Court, and private practice settings. A significant portion of my training involved delivering intensive trauma therapy within a court-supervised program, working with individuals experiencing PTSD, substance use disorders, anger issues, and significant life disruption. That environment required structure, mutual accountability, and advanced emotional regulation skills. It also required the disciplined application of evidence-based trauma treatments while maintaining psychological safety in high-intensity situations.

I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship strain — particularly when the life they have built no longer feels sustainable or aligned with who they want to become.

Hi there, I'm Jenni! 

Feeling stuck and frustrated? Struggling to deal with the loss of a loved one? Trying to find balance in your life while coping with chronic illness? Expecting an upcoming change? Not able to sleep or stay on top of things in your life? I am here to help!

Therapy cannot be effective if we are not meeting your specific needs and goals. I want to meet you where you are and together identify a path forward. I like to understand you, your values, and your background while also giving you solution-focused interventions you can utilize to make changes. If talking it through without homework is the way you want to go, that is fine too! We are all capable of change and moving forward but sometimes it is the dialogues in our head, relationships, or other factors that are getting in our way. Therapy is a great place to work through those and be more connected with what you value in your life. Let's work together!

I use a client/couple/family-centered strength-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on You Shaping You.  The Couple Shaping the Couple.  The Family shaping the Family.

Dr. Martecia Oates

Welcome to my profile. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), my entire career is dedicated to the science of the soul. I support individuals who feel overwhelmed, burnout, overthink, or struggle with self-doubt in learning how to regulate their emotions and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, stress, self-doubt, or relationship challenges. They often feel like they’re carrying a lot on their own and don’t know how to break out of the same patterns.

In our work together, we focus on what’s actually keeping you stuck and give you practical tools to change it. You’ll learn how to regulate your emotions, manage anxious or negative thoughts, set boundaries, and respond differently in situations that usually overwhelm you.

My approach is structured, supportive, and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused strategies to help you create real, lasting change—not just temporary relief. For those who want it, I also integrate a Christian, faith-based perspective.

If you’re ready to do the work and want therapy that is both supportive and practical, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of control in your daily life.

Abey Adams-Adasah

Hello, beautiful soul.  I know the day-to-day may not be so great for you right now.  Life has a way of showing up in a very real way at the most unexpected times, knocking the wind right out of us.  In the ever-changing cycles and transitions of life, sometimes, we say goodbye to people we never thought we would, we separate from familiar places and things whether we’re ready or not, and we face the unknown with lingering uncertainty, not quite sure where to go, what to do, or to whom we can turn.  Surviving comes at a cost to our overall health and wellness.
I am so grateful you are here.
While it may be difficult for you to believe while you are questioning your self-worth: 
You are worthy, breathing and existing as you are.
Progress is subjective.
So is happiness.
So is success. 
The recipe for the version of self and life you can admire most begins here, now.
Let's take a regenerative approach to wellness, together.  Let's cultivate humanity.

James J. Cordiano

Hi! I had been a licensed psychologist for more than 35 years, serving the Puerto Rican population for about 38 years and recently licensed in Florida. I had worked as a consultant, university professor, therapist, health coach and a nutritional coach within the scope of my professional experience. I speak both English and Spanish and love to work with adults. My present practice is as a telehealth psychologist, with Florida clients.

For 38 years I have helped people turn problematic situations and trauma into hope and triumph.  Clients have healed trauma, overcome eating disorders and growth, as they find their best version. I use an integrative approach directed to nourish the body, heal the mind and empowered the spirit.  Therapy goals are set to heal, learn to cope and continue to grow. 

I have professional certifications in Trauma, Eating Disorders, and 
Binging.  I have been very successful treating clients with different Eating Disorders, Binging and Chronic Dieting.

Welcome! I'm Denise Billings. 
Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
