I have been a military spouse for 17 years and have worked with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, family therapy and couples counseling. I love seeing the transformation that can happen when those I work with look at life from a different perspective. When things in life are not going the way we would like we have to change something and I love that therapy can be the reason we can start to see those changes. I would love to be the one to help you live your best life.

Hello! My name is Jeremy Brown! Has it been difficult and tough sometimes to talk to others like family and friends? Do you feel like people around you are not listening or hearing you when you speak? Do you struggle with self-compassion and self-gratitude? Have you always turned to other means to cope when stressed such as alcohol or other substances? I help individuals who are struggling with all the above and work side by side with you to formulate a healthier way to communicate and get to the root of your problems. I do so through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy which aims at changing the way we think and view various situations as well as solution focused therapy and strengths based techniques to show you that your are capable and strong to overcome. If you also struggle with substance abuse, I have 3 years of experience helping individuals suffering with alcohol, cannabis and stimulant use disorder find healthier ways to cope with issues than with the use of substances. I want to applaud you for taking the first step in your recovery and healing, this can all feel scary at first but you are on your way to healthier version of yourself! In our upcoming sessions together, I will meet you with compassion and empathy and take a collaborative approach to help you overcome any obstacle in your way. I look forward to working with you!

Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in FL. I received my Masters from Saint Mary’s College of California and have been practicing for 13 years. I have been trained in trauma informed care, and I am a certified clinical trauma professional. I have experience in working with adolescents, young adults, and families with a variety of mental health issues.

Overall, as a clinician my main focus in treatment is helping you increase self compassion, and help gain a new healthy perspective of self, especially after experiencing a situation that may feel like it is life altering.

Hi, I’m Jonathan Beer, a Doctor of Socia work (DSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida since 2017. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping adults work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and life transitions. I use approaches like EMDR and CBT to help clients process difficult experiences and find healthier ways of moving forward. I also enjoy working with couples who want to strengthen their connection. Using Imago Relationship Therapy dialogue, I help partners improve communication, feel truly heard, and build a stronger foundation for their relationship. At the heart of my work, I believe therapy is about creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your challenges, discover new insights, and take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.

Hi, I’m Andrés and if you’re reading this, you might be the one everyone counts on, the one who gets it done, but lately... it’s been feeling like too much. Maybe sleep is broken, work feels relentless, or you snap at people you love and don’t know why. I work with high-achieving, deeply committed people who are tired of carrying the weight alone. Therapy with me is real, practical, and focused we get to the root of things so you can finally exhale, feel lighter, and show up how you want to at work, at home, and for yourself.

As a clinician with ADHD I have experienced firsthand many of the issues that individuals with ADHD face on a daily basis (poor experience with providers, family conflict regarding diagnosis, learning skills to accommodate my specific flavor of neurodiversity, etc). I think of ADHD as my own neurodiverse super power, and source of frustration. To paraphrase, “the ADHD giveth, and the ADHD taketh away.”
