At one point, I was held captive by these barriers, but through faith, perseverance, and God's Word, I was able to transform my life.

*Only accepting online sessions* Hi, I’m Charleen. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. I specialize in helping women in their 20s and 30s who may look like they have it all together on the outside, but internally feel stuck, insecure, or unsure of their path. My clients often come to therapy during big life transitions—breakups, career changes, family stress, friendship ruptures, or moments where they’re simply asking, “What am I doing with my life?” Many also struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or patterns in relationships that leave them feeling unfulfilled or unseen. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and offer a safe, supportive space to explore your identity, relationships, and mental health without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I’m here to help you untangle what’s getting in the way, build insight, and develop practical coping tools, while reminding you that you don’t have to figure everything out alone. If you’re tired of putting everyone else first, second-guessing yourself, or just feeling like you’re not “enough,” I’d love to support you in reconnecting with your worth and your voice.

If you suffer from unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health issues, let me help you thrive. I've spent my career working with couples, groups, families, and individuals. If you are seeking in-person therapy around Ormond Beach or on-line therapy throughout Florida call or text today. I accept most national and Florida insurance plans.

I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. As a mental health therapist, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, and emotional regulation, as well as challenges related to communication, self-esteem, and daily overwhelm. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can deepen your self-understanding and learn tools to manage emotions, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. You set the direction, and I provide guidance, insight, and support to help you create meaningful, lasting growth.

Hi, I’m Mikaela, a mental health therapist who works with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, emotion regulation challenges, and difficult life transitions. I also specialize in working with individuals involved in the court system. I use TF-CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy to help clients process trauma, better understand patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping skills.

My name is David Patrick, LCSW. I have 14 years of experience dealing with a wide array of topics that bring people to therapy. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. I see myself and my clients as friends on a journey of discovery about themselves. I do not lead, nor allow myself to be led, I believe we are equals. I listen intently and make suggestions and sometimes assign homework when appropriate. Remember, there are 168 hours in a typical week, and most people only see their therapist for one hour, leaving 167 hours outside the weekly session to practice and explore questions and see if the new results are present. I see us as equals and occasionally I will make suggestions, but ultimately this is a time of discovery for the individual and it is a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a brighter and healthier future! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Florida with almost a decade of experience and a passion for helping others. Whether you're facing long-term trauma or just trying to get through the week, I’m here to help you make sense of things and move forward with more confidence and self-compassion. I am a native German speaker, so am more than willing to provide therapy in German as well, if requested. In my free time, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, traveling, and being in nature.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. Do you ever feel stuck, hopeless, or weighed down by past experiences that still cause pain? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or feelings of not being “good enough”? You don’t have to carry these challenges alone. In therapy, my role is to walk alongside you—helping you process difficult experiences, explore new perspectives, strengthen your inner resources, and build healthier boundaries. Together, we can work toward both your short-term relief and your long-term growth. I have over 10 years of clinical experience, supporting individuals through trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, anger management, self-worth challenges, parenting struggles, and life transitions.

I primarily use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies, and I also integrate EMDR for trauma, anxiety, and phobias.

I have been practicing therapy for over twenty years. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from Florida International University and my PsyD. in Grief Counselling from Breyer State Theology University. I have experience with individuals, couples, and families. Some of my primary areas of expertise are family and relationship conflict, intimacy related issues and difficulty with various life changes and transitions. I specialize in assisting those who may be going through a rough patch in life or have experienced the death of a loved one. It is important to have a strong therapeutic relationship with your therapist and to feel that they are a good match for you. I want you to feel that therapy is a safe and non-judgmental place to share your thoughts, and feelings. I believe that counseling should primarily be solution-focused to help you achieve your goals and begin to see improvement as soon as possible.

Do you feel stuck in your personal or professional life, or are you concerned about a child who seems off track and you’re unsure how to help? I work with men, young adults, and adolescents who are navigating a wide range of life challenges, including emotional struggles, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, direct, and supportive. I focus not only on helping clients process what they’re going through, but also on building real-world life skills they can apply outside of therapy. I believe in meeting clients where they are while also encouraging accountability, consistent effort, and measurable While serving in the US Marine Corps I learned the discipline and strength needed to continue moving forward regardless of what life has thrown my way. I am a Mental Health Counselor and a Professional Life Coach most importantly I am a son, a husband and a father.

~I am currently accepting new clients~ My philosophy is that life is a journey and we can be thrown unexpected difficulties and challenges during the ride. Healing doesn't happen because someone else has all the answers. It happens because, over time, we begin to relate to ourselves with greater honesty, compassion, and courage. I work with individuals, couples, and children. I provide an empathetic non-judgmental environment for clients to feel safe and comfortable while working towards their goals. I have worked with clients on many different complicated issues and relational difficulties. My areas of specialty include, anxiety and depression, couples and communicational problems, infidelity, self-esteem issues, compulsive overeating, adolescent behavioral problems, and LGBTQ challenges. I am very passionate about my career and genuinely enjoy helping clients uncover their strengths and resources to reach their goals to live happier and healthier lives. I work with clients of all different ethnic and economic backgrounds.

THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE — INCLUDING THERAPISTS You're the one others rely on — at work and at home. You show up for everyone. You keep everything running — managing your career and your household, and often growing kids and aging parents at the same time. Somewhere along the way, you stopped making it onto your own list. It's all becoming too heavy — now you're starting to feel it, emotionally and physically. Therapy at Seaside is a space to pause, reflect, and start to feel like yourself again. HI, I'M GAIL — THERAPIST & OWNER OF SEASIDE MENTAL WELLNESS. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nearly 30 years in the field, much of it spent inside the healthcare system, supporting women through some of the most significant moments of their lives. IN MIDLIFE, IT'S RARELY JUST ONE THING. The anxiety that increases in your late 30s. The moment in your 40s when you catch yourself thinking, "I don't feel like myself anymore". A marriage, a career, even your body — things that stop fitting in your 50s. These chapters are part of the same story. The anxiety, the burnout, the transitions, the emotional side of perimenopause tend to arrive at once, overlapping one another. We can untangle this together. SEASIDE IS RECOGNIZED LOCALLY AND TRUSTED STATEWIDE: SRQ Magazine's 2026 Platinum Winner (Best Local Mental Health Service) and 2025 Silver Winner (Best Local Therapist) , plus Guide to Florida's 2026 (Best Individual Therapist) and 2025 Regional Winner (Best Therapy Practice). SEASIDE IS BASED IN LAKEWOOD RANCH, serving women in Bradenton and Sarasota — and across the Gulf Coast, from Tampa to Naples. All sessions are online, so support fits your life, without the traffic, the waiting room, or the time off work.

I am a licensed therapist with 34 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Married for 49 years, I am blessed with three grown children who continue to inspire me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University. My concentration was clinical practice in health and mental health settings. For the past 14 years I have been working in a hospital setting. During this time I have worked with individuals and families facing serious illness, life altering diagnosis, grief, substance abuse, homelessness as well as various other life transitions, depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

Lets awaken a new you! Its time to make yourself a priority. I understand the process that many go through to find a better way to live. I know how hard it can be thinking that there’s no way out of the “mess.” I have found my love and passion for helping others find a way out.

Hi, I'm Dr. V.—a licensed, board-certified therapist with 19 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate intricate emotional landscapes. I specialize in treating complex trauma, relationship struggles, maladaptive coping, life transitions, and the sense of loneliness and isolation definitive of our post-pandemic, digital reality. I hold advanced credentials in trauma-informed assessment and intervention, integrative mental healthcare, and clinical mental health and nutrition consultation. In addition to clinical practice, I work as an Adjunct Professor and Campus Supervisor across various universities, with research lines centering on early psychosocial trauma, Psychological Intimate Partner Violence (P-IPV), and instrument design. In fact, I am lead author of the text "Covert Trauma Across the Lifespan: Viewing Psychosocial Trauma Through a Clinical Lens"—scheduled for release in Fall 2026 via Springer Publishing—the first comprehensive clinical resource of its kind, including a focus on phenomena such as narcissistic abuse, coercive control, gaslighting, parentification, and parental alienation—bridging the gap between clinical practice and contemporary culture. My further contributions to the field include: serving as a volunteer for the Florida Department of Health Crisis Management Team, scripting and acting in educational clinical demonstration videos, and designing, developing, and delivering board-accredited training programs for counselors and psychiatry residents—with a focus on psychoeducation, assessment, intervention, and client-centered collateral care. When off the clock, I kick it savagely low-key. In my opinion, the most sublime luxury in life is a great night's sleep! Otherwise, you can find me fumbling around on the acoustic bass, shamelessly reciting '90s hip-hop lyrics while cruising in the slow lane, binge-watching niche documentaries, attending stand-up shows, daydreaming of summers spent snorkeling in vivid tropical reefs, or expanding my highly curated collections of tiny boxes, rocks, boots, books, cats, and tats.

Mental health care shouldn’t feel intimidating. My goal is to provide a warm, inviting, and judgment-free space where patients can show up exactly as they are. I take a patient-centered, approachable, and solution-focused approach that combines honest conversations with practical tools to help patients move forward. I believe in meeting patients where they’re at, building trust, and creating a safe vibe where people feel comfortable discussing life’s challenges. You’ll be treated with respect, compassion, and authenticity, just as I would want to be treated. Together, we’ll focus on realistic goals, personal growth, and lasting change in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Peace. Happiness. Love. Success. We seek them. We want them. As we see them within reach, we are knocked down by the challenges and difficulties of life. We find, instead, lives that are filled with anxiety, sadness, grief, trauma, loss and failure. I know this too well. I have experienced this in my own life and in the life of my clients. It does not matter where you are in your life. I have had celebrity clients at the top of their field. I have worked with gold medal athletes. I have worked with businessmen and women, housewives, families, adolescents. I have also worked with those who have lost everything to the ravishes of substance use and with men serving life in prison. It is possible to navigate the dangerous waters of life, but you will need a guide. I am that guide. I have excellent education from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have a wealth of experience. I have over three decades of experience as a husband, father, grandfather, youth pastor, counselor and university professor. I have worked in the church, private practice (in Florida and the Bahamas), community mental health (specializing in crisis and families with at-risk-adolescents), foster care, substance abuse, juvenile justice and the prisons. I have maintained my relevance by teaching at the university level, advising a best-selling author on the psychological aspects of his book, and serving as a consultant to other mental health agencies. I have wonderful experience working with anxiety, depression, anger, parenting issues, challenging children and teenagers, grief, trauma, substance use issues, family and relationship issues, LGBT issues, and other issues and concerns. I have helped my clients find peace with themselves, with others and in their situations. I have helped my clients find happiness, even amid loss. I have helped my clients find belonging and love in healthy and supportive relationships. I have helped my clients increase their ability to succeed by changing their thinking. One of the foundations of my life and my work was written by M. Scott Peck in The Road Less Travelled. He wrote, “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths… Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?” Let’s start today to solve some of life’s problems and to begin to grasp peace, happiness, love and success.

While I am physically located in the Florida Panhandle, I provide specialized telehealth counseling to individuals and couples throughout the state of Florida. (I offer a 'fit-first' approach.

Hello. I am Denise Moore, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supevisor based in the Florida area. I am passionate about working with clients who are beginning the steps to healing from trauma. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, unsure of who you are along with trust issues. I am friendly, down to earth and open minded. I complete in person and virtual sessions, I am available some evenings and on Saturday as well.

My individualized and pro-active approach helps create a supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable addressing life’s challenges through a strength based, solution focused and change oriented approach. It also helps people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds develop self-awareness, self-confidence and see life from a different perspective in order for them to believe in themselves and cope effectively with emotional, behavioral and stress-related problems. My therapeutic approach involves understanding how the patient’s past impacts their current level of functioning and then through this self-awareness, help them make healthier decisions today in order to reach their full potential and live mentally, physically and spiritually healthier lives.

Ready to spill? My name is Nancy, (you can call me NJ). I'm a Neuro-Affirming therapist (ADHDers I see you). I offer individual therapy grounded with clinical insight from USC (Go Trojans!), millennial energy, and spices from God's own Country-South India. A little about me: I was raised in the diverse neighborhoods of Queens, NY (yes, just like Spiderman) where I developed a deep cultural competence that now enrich my therapeutic approach. I grew up living with progressive vision loss so I know what it feels like when one bad thing happens after the next. I was night blind by the age of 11 and lost 80% of my vision during my twenties - leading to tunnel vision. Trust me, I know what a Menty B looks like. Growing up also with the Catholic faith helped me develop the strength I thought I never had and inspired me to serve others. Whether you're untangling your identity, spiraling at 3 am, or doom-scrolling your way out of an existential crisis, I got you. My approach blends several therapeutic styles: Psychodynamic Therapy: to uncover how childhood and family dynamics still show up today (yep, we’re going there) CBT: to help reframe those “I’m not enough” thoughts Mindfulness: because sometimes we just need to breathe and not dissociate Culturally Sensitive Trauma-Informed Care: to support deep insight and generational healing Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. We’ll laugh, cry, unpack, and grow (sometimes all in one session) You deserve a space where you don’t have to over-explain yourself, mask your emotions, or code-switch your pain. I bring my full, authentic self into our sessions so you can too. If you're ready for true change and healing or just want to vibe-check a therapist who gets it, book your session now!

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.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

Licensed Psychotherapist | Culturally Sensitive | Trauma-Informed Welcome, I’m Nubia. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right support, it absolutely happens. Whether you're working through trauma, betrayal, anxiety, divorce, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and care. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, or emotional wounds that have been hard to process alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind those patterns — and create space for healing, resilience, and growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These methods help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — and how to gently shift the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. But beyond technique, I lead with authenticity, compassion, and cultural awareness. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that feels safe, honest, and judgment-free. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to it, you are welcome exactly as you are. Clients often tell me they feel more centered, more empowered, and more hopeful after working together. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and virtual sessions, because healing should fit into real life. If you’re ready to begin your journey — whether you’re clear on your goals or still figuring them out — I’d be honored to support you. Let’s take the first step, together. Warmly, Nubia Anacius , MS,NBCC,LPC Licensed Psychotherapist
