I have a Master's degree in clinical psychology, and am passionate about what I do. Helping clients reinvent, re signify and solve their own life problems is the best reward to my practice. I believe that the power of a good psychotherapy process lies in its ability to help my clients understand themselves better, address their emotional psychological challenges, and make meaningful changes in their lives. I also believe strongly in the transformative power of connection and communication, and know that psychotherapy is the key to evolve and learn new skills that may be hidden inside someone. I am simply a facilitator of my client's own awareness, their emotional healing, and their growth.

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 Have you found yourself being more withdrawn, hypervigilant, anxious or found yourself relying on alcohol, food or screen time to cope with stress?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.

With 22 years of experience, I’ve worked with people where life happens—in their homes, at their schools, and in their communities. I’ve helped children, teens, and adults navigate life’s toughest moments, from managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression to handling relationships, big transitions, and everyday stressors. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I know that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s journey is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. That’s why I take a client-centered, individualized approach that meets you where you are. I incorporate CBT, DBT, Somatic techniques and practical strategies to help you gain insight, develop coping skills, and create real, lasting change.

I’m Yshkeyna Hamilla (pronounced “EEsh-key-na Ha-mee-ya”), a whole-person-health woman therapist in East central Florida for 20+ years. My favorite things to do are help people : - Reduce stress and anxiety; build confidence, self esteem; - Sort out and heal communication and relationship concerns, with experience as a conflict resolution mediator for a county court in Florida. - Heal successfully & rapidly from loss/ grief/ trauma/ PTSD- past or recent; - Help especially with women’s issues and LGBTQ interests; - I also have a background in guided meditations, yoga, and spirituality for those so inspired. I'm skilled in a wide range of extremely successful therapies, especially the newer advanced ones that facilitate an easier, more successful life shift. These include everything from the old traditional CBT (changing your thinking = have different feelings), to NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), A.R.T. (an eye movement therapy like EMDR, for easier, deeper, more rapid healing), Gestalt, Hypnotherapy, EFT, The Landmark Forum Advance courses, and guided meditations. I have also run recovery groups specializing in helping people from problems due to addiction in their family (self esteem, ACOA and codependency, etc.). In addition to being versed in many different therapeutic approaches over the last 20+ years, I am very holistic, integrating care and empowering your whole self- Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually. As a therapist I have been described as kind, gentle, yet honest, insightful and direct, able to get to the heart of the matter and of what matters the most to you. Our work together can be amazingly encouraging, healing, freeing, and uplifting. Occasionally seeing humor & synchronicity in your life helps too. I work with all ages, usually from 16 - 99, and love helping with the many changes that work, relationships, and life changes bring.

Hello, I’m Davia, and I’m of Jamaican descent. Seeking mental health counseling is normalizing because mental health professionals continue to speak about, advocate for, and accept its presence in our clients’ lives. You are not alone if you seek mental health counseling. In fact, you are courageous and aware that getting help is a sign of indomitable strength. Are you lacking boundaries or wondering why life seems topsy-turvy? Do you function in survival mode but struggle with exhaustion or burnout? I help clients develop mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression while increasing balance and a healthy lifestyle. We will work together to identify areas that are out of alignment. In our sessions together, I will utilize evidence-based techniques along with grace and compassion so you can increase your awareness and confidence. Welcome to your journey of healing!

Do you struggle with making decisions, finding it hard to fall asleep, letting go of the past or overcoming an unhealthy relationship? Poor sense of worth? Hitting to close to home? Well you have come to the right place. I provide a sense of hope that what you are experiencing is not your Normal and that you can get more out of life! I believe in providing a collaborative setting for my clients in hopes that it will facilitate growth but most of all HOPE. Encouraging clients to see their own potential that they already posses, assisting them in identifying their own negative perceptions or unhealthy thoughts that perpetuates the negative beliefs of self. Therapy is an awakening where self-love, honesty and commitment are a triangle that reaches Happiness. We all thrive to obtain our individual Nirvana or Self- Fulfillment, nonetheless we struggle with the motivation or having the lack of resources. I am here to guide and assist you along this journey. We know change can be challenging and sometimes scary. However, with perseverance and assistance from myself (your personal clinical confidant), we can process and achieve these goals together. So tell me, are you ready? If so, I am here to walk alongside you with encouragement and support!

You’ve achieved a lot—but lately, it feels like something is holding you back. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by emotions you can’t explain, or quietly carrying a weight from your past that no longer fits the life you’re building. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled—and you’re ready to change that. I help ambitious, self-aware individuals break free from emotional blocks, old narratives, and burnout cycles. Whether you feel stuck in overthinking, disconnected from your joy, or like you’re constantly pushing but never arriving, our work together will get to the root of it. We’ll release what no longer serves you, recalibrate your inner compass, and build the mindset and habits that align with the life you actually want to live. Think: deeper self-trust, emotional clarity, and the confidence to show up fully—no more shrinking, no more autopilot. You’re not here to settle. You’re here to evolve. Let’s unlock the version of you that’s been waiting on the other side of this growth.

I was once told "the happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts". Since then, I have become a firm believer that we are ultimately the author and master of our own life's story. Have difficult relationships, grief, trauma, world events, family dynamics, or even daily life stressors made you feel otherwise? Let me help you find the narrative threads that will assist you in reweaving the fabric of your life.

Hello! I'm Chrissie and I'm looking forward to our work together. A little about me-I'm Trinidadian (from the Caribbean) and I recognize the impact our culture and background have in making us who we are. My personality and approach is person centered and based on authenticity. I am not perfect and I don't expect you to be. Sessions with me are structured based on what each client needs. I take the time to learn your story, find out what is important to you and what you are seeking. My sessions usually include laughter (when appropriate,) and I always strive to be my authentic self.
