Hello. I am excited to guide you in taking your power back. If your life feels more challenging than it should, I can help you uncover and discover thoughts and behaviors that may be blocking you from living in the light so you can enjoy life to the fullest. Do you sometimes feel stuck with little to no options in dealing with challenging situations? Do you tend to react by fighting, fleeing, shutting down, or using mind-altering substances when you feel emotional distress? And soon after experience negative self-talk about the way you handled the situation? If you relate to this, I would love to teach you the reason humans tend to repeat patterns and explore alternative ways to find solutions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have a Master's in Social Work (MSW) from Barry University. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities enhance their well-being and overall functioning. As a social worker, I hold a firm belief that every person has a unique and valuable story. Each individual's life is like a book, filled with a series of chapters that encompass a wide range of experiences, emotions, and challenges. Sometimes, people get stuck on a particular page or in a specific chapter of their story, feeling unable to move forward. This can happen due to various reasons, such as trauma, loss, mental health struggles, or significant life changes. It's normal to face difficulties at specific points in life. Feeling stuck might manifest as being overwhelmed, experiencing depression or anxiety, encountering repeated obstacles in relationships or careers, or simply feeling unfulfilled. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward seeking help and making positive changes. My role as a social worker is to help you identify the specific issues causing you to feel stuck. Through empathetic listening and comprehensive assessment, we can pinpoint the root causes of your difficulties, whether they stem from past experiences, current stressors, or underlying mental health conditions. Once we understand the issues, we can work together to develop a range of skills and tools to help you manage these situations.

A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time. Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.

Hi. I'm Pam and I am a mental health counselor. I enjoy working with people from a holistic approach specifically focused on the mind, body, and spirit connection to effect and attain harmony in one's life. I utilize a combination of techniques such as guided meditations including imagery and visualization, breathwork, and other relaxation techniques coupled with other Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT) that are effective in managing a multitude of issues. I have found it is especially effective for people coping with depression, stress, and anxiety, difficulties manifesting a positive self-image, and attaining a balanced life. I have been told I "provide action-oriented and goal-directed services that effect change." and that I have "a way of presenting information that is gentle and compassionate." I believe we all need gentle compassion at some time in our lives. I enjoy working with people who are vested in self-exploration to see how they can respond differently to challenges in their lives to effect positive outcomes.

*Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy.* I am ready to help you! I have been a therapist for 10+ years and my mission is to help you find balance in your life. I view therapy through a holistic standpoint, in which I use the mind and the body to help you get to the wellness that you so deserve. I became a therapist because I wanted to help clients navigate the stresses of work and life and make meaningful changes that would improve their mental well-being. At the first session, you can expect a non-judgmental and an easy-going conversation to build up a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I received a Master's degree in family psychology, in 2010, from Hardin-Simmons University in Texas. I engage others by helping them feel comfortable while also being solution focused. I prescribe to a Cognitive behavioral approach which helps others see life's problems and solutions in a better light. I work with individuals ages 5-100, families, adolescents, marriage or relationship counseling, premarital counseling, and parents who need some guidance raising their children. Some areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, bipolar, problem solving, relationship specialist, communication skills, anger management, coping skills, relaxation exercises, and panic attacks.

Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.

I have spent years working with individuals and helping them through addiction, trauma, anxiety and every day troubles. Often co-occurring disorders such as codependency and depression live just under the surface and make it hard to sustain a life of meaning and purpose. When these issues are addressed, true healing is possible. I love to assist people in discovering their true self by working through their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My practice incorporates the behavioral sciences by utilizing techniques such as cognitive behavior therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in order to promote emotional healing and spiritual wholeness. My goal is to provide the client with the coping skills needed to face life's challenges without turning to outside sources.
