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.

Welcome! I'm {Emmanuel Nzuzu}. I want to thank you sincerely for reaching out to me. Congratulations for taking this crucial 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, structured, and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore challenges and obstacles with concerns related to alcohol and drug addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients to regain control by taking back their power from alcohol and drugs. I facilitate client transformation by assisting them to learn how to be guided by a vision of the future and not memories of the past. My clients often find it beneficial to 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.

My journey continues to working at a drug rehab facility where I worked with individuals with substance use disorder for about 5 years. My life then continues to work at a survivor's center where I worked with victims of domestic violence, violent crimes and grief for about 2 years. I also gained experience with the LGBTQIA+ population where I worked closely and ran groups with individuals of the trans experience. Moving forward, I have worked with suicidal children and adolescents that have been under a Baker Act which has given me experience in with family systems for about 4 years.

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 there, I'm Sharon, and I'm passionate about helping individuals rediscover their inner child and embark on a journey of healing the wounds from their past. As a compassionate and creative soul, I offer a unique approach to processing and addressing emotions. Through my work, I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your feelings, particularly those affected by addiction and co-dependency. I firmly believe that art, not in the traditional sense but as a personal expression of one's emotions, holds the key to authenticity and self-discovery. My focus is on the process rather than performance, making it a soulful and liberating experience I call "soul art." As part of my commitment to excellence, I am currently pursuing my certification in Creative Journaling Expressive Arts with the CJEAItm. This additional training allows me to integrate journaling and expressive art techniques into our sessions, offering you a dynamic and creative approach to healing and personal growth. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, exploring your emotions through the creative lens, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to nurture your inner child and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life.

Feeling angry, frustrated or overly sad? Having difficulties in your relationship with family or friends? Changes in employment making staying focused and on task difficult? Have you found yourself being more withdrawn, hypervigilant, anxious or found yourself relying on alcohol, food or screen time to cope with stress? Sometimes we need a little extra support to gain clarity and explore other perspectives. Lets work together to explore healthier coping skills and make these situations feel less overwhelming for you. I believe a respectful, supportive, collaborative, free from judgement relationship is important for therapeutic healing. I am warm, caring and supportive. My specialties include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, parenting, relationship concerns and sex therapy. I work from a mindfulness approach and I am CBT and solution focused oriented. I enjoy working with clients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, gender, and sexual orientations. I believe in the power of choice and each persons ability to achieve their desired goals. I have a dual Masters in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and I’m currently working on my Ph.D in Clinical Sexology.

Are you looking for a space to process current stressors? Maybe a space to unwind and share your thoughts or emotions that are getting heavy to carry on your own? Or looking to address mental health diagnosis/symptoms while creating a coping skills toolbox? Hi! I'm Maryam, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida (born and raised) of Venezuelan descent (bilingual in Spanish). I graduated from USF with majors in Psychology and Health Sciences and then obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from FGCU. Since then I have been able to have diverse, unique experiences with a mobile crisis unit, outpatient counseling, addiction treatment, and tele-health therapy. I make sure to create a non-judgmental, safe, and welcoming environment where we can address your treatment goals at your own pace. I like to take a holistic approach while also integrating an array of interventions from art/music therapy, challenging negative self-talk, solution-focused, "care-frontation," and more. I suggest "tasks" and "food for thought" as supplemental work between sessions. Let's embark on this healing journey together!
