I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I have worked with individuals, groups, and families across outpatient, inpatient, residential, school-based, and crisis settings. My approach to therapy is compassionate, grounded, and goal-oriented — creating a space where clients can show up authentically, feel emotionally safe, and begin working through the patterns, stressors, and experiences that may be keeping them stuck. I primarily work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help clients build practical coping tools, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward healthier, more balanced ways of living — one meaningful step at a time.

Hi there! I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years human service and social work experience - including experience on the frontline working child abuse investigations. I transitioned to clinical private practice 4 years ago. I don’t run a sterile, academic practice. My work is deeply rooted in evidence-based science, but our sessions are designed to feel like a real, natural conversation focused on practical, real-world results. I run a warm, accepting space built specifically for anyone who is feeling completely overburdened and just plain tired of pretending they have it all together. When your daily environment, career, or life stage demands total strength, life's challenges and transitions become infinitely heavier to carry on your own. That’s why my approach is straightforward, honest, and entirely focused on helping you let down your guard so you can focus on your own mental wealth and recovery. I am the right fit for those navigating high-pressure realities. My background includes specialized training in trauma, including supporting military personnel, first responders, their spouses, and other public service workers who carry the heavy weight of frontline cultures. I am equally a match for teenagers and young adults navigating the modern grind—those juggling school, career transitions, social pressures, and the exhausting expectation to have their entire identity figured out right now.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in talk therapy, EMDR, and trauma work. I have been practicing for over 30 years with a wide variety of patients including veterans, terminally ill patients, and individuals with panic disorders. I use an integrated approach to therapy. I use humanistic and self-empowering approaches, along with EMDR, IPT and CBT, to help clients achieve their goals. My belief is that every client is different and no one technique will work for everyone.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to keep going, this is a space where you don't have to carry everything alone. Your feelings are welcomed, your pain is seen, and your story matters. Together, we will explore what you have been facing, ease the heaviness, and build coping skills to support the healing. Little by little, yo can rediscover hope, reconnect with your strength, and begin to feel like yourself again. I work best with clients who are ready for support, even if they are unsure where to start. I help people who feel overwhelmed or weighed down by emotions find relief, clarity and support. Together, we ease the heaviness, explore what you've been carrying, and build coping skills that help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and connected to yourself. You deserve a space where your feelings are heard and your struggles are met with compassion. If you're looking for support, I'm here to offer a calm, judgment-free space to begin healing. When you're ready, I'd honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor (LMHC) based in South Florida. I received my Masters from Nova Southeastern University in Florida and have been practicing for over 20 years. I help people of all ages struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety and mood disorders by assiting them with developing coping skills that they can use to reduce and/or manage their symptoms better.

The “traditional office” approach is not one that I use. We have the option of meeting in an outdoor environment, in places like the beach or a park, if you are within the Palm Beach County area. And there is always the option to meet in a virtual office setting though Telehealth. I believe therapy can and should have a place in our everyday lives. I am trained in CBT, ACT, Mindfulness and trauma informed approaches.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with my PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy in Florida. I received my Masters and PhD at Nova Southeastern University and I have over 25 years experience in working in the mental health and substance abuse fields.

My name is John A. Llauget. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and an Educational Specialist Degree in Counseling from University of South Florida. My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I was licensed in Florida in 1986 as a Mental Health Counselor and have maintained my license since that date. Also I have worked as an employee assistance counselor, school counselor, associate professor at an international university, and court evaluator for guardianship cases. For 20 years I worked as a cancer counselor with oncology clients helping them cope with illness, stress, and emotional distress. Additionally I have maintained a practice and interest in Traditional Okinawan Uechi-Ryu, earning a Masters rank in that system of training. I have used martial training with children & adolescents to develop self-control and self esteem. Later when I began working with an elderly population and clients dealing with physical limitations, I taught Qigong and Mindfulness Meditation as a way to improve their health, well-being, and cope with stress. My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a client, develop trust, and talking more explicitly about issues before making any recommendations. I am a strong advocate of evidence-based treatments and teaching ‘tools’ to cope with stress and emotional difficulties. I have gained training in trauma treatment because we now know that it is prevalent in our life experiences. I value compassion, persistence, and patience in working towards change. I look forward to working with you. I also value your time and want to use it productively in assisting you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Hi there! I'm a therapist who specializes in helping people overcome people-pleasing tendencies and trauma. You might be tired of constantly putting the needs of others before your own, feeling like you're never enough, or struggling to set healthy boundaries. It can be overwhelming to navigate these challenges on your own, but together, we can work towards building your self-esteem, creating space for your own needs, and developing new ways of communicating with others. If you've experienced trauma, it can be difficult to trust others and feel safe in your everyday life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that make it hard to move forward. I want you to know that healing is possible, and you don't have to go through this alone. Using evidence-based therapies like Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I can help you process your experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. It’s no small thing making the decision to sign up to talk to a stranger about the overwhelming and very often draining circumstances that you’re in. I want to highlight how much being on this site, and looking through profiles is such a significant step toward your mental health goals. Anxiety and improving self image are at the core of my work. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from self-criticism and patterns that keep life feeling heavy. The goal of this work isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about learning to navigate life's challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-understanding.

I am a Jacksonville, FL native who is naturally passionate and excited about growth, transition, and identity work. After participating in school and gathering knowledge from Clinical Mental Health master's program and obtaining my certification in Life Coaching, I started gardening as a way to return to nature and myself. My time in my garden helps me deepen the lessons the world offers me and in turn it helps me offer my heart to others.

Hello, my name is Ann and look forward to meeting and to working with you. I moved from Pennsylvania in 2019 as I could not handle winter any more and needed to be somewhere warm! I have two Master of Arts degrees from Kutztown University - one in Counseling Psychology ( obtained in 1995) and the other in School Counseling ( obtained in 2004). I started in mental health therapy in 1995, then moved into substance abuse counseling for several years, then school counseling while I raised my son for 18 yrs, and now back to mental health/substance use counseling as that is my passion. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband doing outdoor activities - especially riding the Harley and going out on the water. I love to walk daily and enjoy knitting in my spare time. Everyone in life ( including therapists at times) need someone to talk to in order to help resolve problems, manage stress, process trauma or enhance coping skills. I believe in looking at what you want to accomplish as the goal of therapy and then working on skills to achieve that goal. I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as person-centered techniques and when needed will involve the family if the client is willing and if it will enhance our work together. I believe everyone has the tools inside them to achieve their goals; it is just about unlocking them and utilizing them. I have worked extensively with trauma survivors and have utilized mindfulness exercises. I also have worked extensively with clients who have co-occurring disorders including depression/anxiety along with substance use disorder. I also have work extensively with teenagers and LGTBQ+ community.

My name is Melissa Powell and I am a licensed mental health counselor and master's certified addictions professional in Florida. I have experience in severe and persistent mental health issues, homeless population , criminal justice population and those suffering with addictions. I have worked in a private practice setting for over 12 years dealing with issues related to, but not limited to, substance abuse, codependency, gaslighting, coping skills, issues surrounding self esteem and self confidence, anger, anxiety and depression. My passion is the underserved communities, those that aren't being heard and need someone to listen and understand.

I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and free to be fully honest about what they are experiencing. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported while also being encouraged to look at things openly and directly. I value transparency, curiosity, and practical growth, and I work with clients to help them better understand themselves, build resilience, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience. I am fond of saying that I believe in the healing power of relationships, which is a big reason why I do what I do as a therapist. I have experience working with kids, couples, families, and adult individuals. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am no stranger to helping those in struggling relationships and marriages. I also have an extensive history in working with individuals struggling with many different issues including (but not limited to) anxiety, over-thinking, perfectionism, depression, rejection/abandonment issues, sexual issues, inferiority feelings, panic, and trauma. While my approach is very much evidence based, I often remark that I am more like a tour-guide helping others better understand their own emotional world. You are the one doing the work, I am just making connections and pointing out the interesting tidbits along the way.

I’m a therapist who values honest, collaborative conversations where clients feel heard, respected, and not rushed. My style is warm, grounded, and interactive. I work alongside clients as they make sense of what they’re experiencing and what they want to shift in their lives. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, work-related burnout, and self-esteem concerns, especially during periods of transition or uncertainty. Many of the people I work with are trying to regain a sense of stability, reconnect with themselves, or find a clearer direction in their lives. In session, I focus on helping clients slow things down enough to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, whether that’s patterns in relationships, internal pressure, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. Together, we explore both insight and practical steps forward, in a way that feels manageable and aligned with your pace. My approach is compassionate and culturally responsive, with an emphasis on authenticity, self-awareness, and self-trust. I often support clients in working through guilt, shame, and self-criticism while building healthier ways of coping, communicating, and relating to themselves and others. More than anything, I aim to create a space where you don’t feel like you have to perform or “have it all figured out.” Therapy with me is a place to be real, get curious about your patterns, and begin making changes that actually feel sustainable in your day-to-day life.

Overwhelmed? Trouble saying "no" to people? Do you sometimes feel like you're making decisions based on other people's opinions/wants/needs/expectations over your own? Are your feelings and needs getting neglected? Or maybe talking about feelings is just really difficult for you, as it is for most people. It's common to avoid communication all together because it just feels like conflict. I am an openly a queer person, running a private practice since 2021, but practicing therapy full-time since 2018. I focus on trauma work, anxiety, shame, identity exploration, and boundaries/setting limits! When I say trauma work, sometimes people always assume the most extreme - but with all clients I find it beneficial to reflect on impactful or very painful past experiences and how it shapes our relationships and present-day life. I can offer you a better understanding and education of your body's nervous system, because the mind and body are connected, and trauma is held within our bodies. My goal is to work with you on improving self-awareness, understanding your automatic reactions, and having direct coping tools based on your specific experiences and mental health symptoms, so you can enjoy the present and feel more free and in control. I’ll help you identify your unmet needs and your emotions, and practice better communication and conflict-resolution often, too. However as educational, direct, and action-oriented I try to be, I also work from a place of compassion. Therapy is very vulnerable! I am ultimately giving you the space and time to get any current worries off your mind, and I try to always work from a place of patience, empathy, and flexibility, too. I've been in the client's chair many times, and I know exactly how important it is to feel free to talk without being judged.

My name is Jeffrey Meltzer, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I graduated with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida and have been providing therapy services for 7 years. I aim to deeply understand your challenges and goals while striving to provide a space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Here, you will be able to better understand yourself and gain evidence-based tools to navigate the various challenges life presents. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, reading, and spending time with my wife and our two pugs.

Hello, I'm Rhoda Donnelly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Life Coach and Hypnotherapist with over three decades of experience. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Georgia in 1990 and have been blessed with a variety of interesting jobs which allowed me to work with children, adults, families, and elderly, including refugees, and the US military. I would be honored to collaborate with you to work towards your goals and achieve positive results. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to feel heard and understood. We will work to find solutions so you can achieve greater peace and personal power.

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood, so you can begin to feel relief knowing your healing journey is underway. I want you to feel proud of yourself for taking the step to prioritize your mental health; it truly matters. My style is warm, patient, encouraging, and direct in a way that supports growth without feeling harsh or overwhelming. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida with a Master of Social Work (MSW), and I work with teens, young adults, couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and evidence-based strategies for anxiety and emotional well-being. In our work together, I focus on helping you better understand yourself, process what you’re going or have gone through, and build practical tools to manage anxiety, trauma, depression, and life’s daily challenges. I believe in supporting healing from a trauma-informed lens while also empowering you to recognize your own strengths and growth along the way. If you’re feeling nervous about starting therapy, I often remind clients: Life will always bring challenges, and we all need support in navigating them. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed or afraid of; it’s a meaningful sign of strength and growth. Plus, there is a world of possibilities on the other side of your fear. Outside of sessions, you’ll usually find me laughing or trying new foods; ideally both at the same time, but I’m not picky.

Are you feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of self-blame? Do your relationships feel disconnected or fall short of the depth and quality you desire? As a specialist in EMDR therapy, I help individuals heal from the root causes of emotional pain, including depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. EMDR can shift the narrative you've been living, helping you build empowered self-esteem and develop more adaptive, resilient thought patterns—replacing racing, draining thoughts with clarity and calm. Through grounding and coping skills, you’ll gain the authentic pause needed to reclaim your life. It’s time to bloom. You deserve to thrive.

Hello, I'm Rose-Marie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Life can be stressful at times and it can be hard to cope with the everyday changes and curve balls thrown at you. Sometimes we don't think about the importance of our mental health. We struggle with adjusting to the changes life sends our way and may end up becoming anxious or depressed. In today's busy world we find ourselves playing multiple roles that require a lot of our time. We may even find it hard to communicate our feelings, emotions, wants and needs in our various relationships. As a result we may neglect to take care of ourselves or may focus more on one of our roles while neglecting the others. As a working mother of two, I totally get this and I am passionate about helping other parents navigate these demands. I can help you explore and find ways to cope. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help address the thoughts that led to depression and increased persistent anxiety. I also use Solution Focused Therapy to look at what worked and how to do more of it. The great thing is that you took the first step by seeking a therapist. This can be scary, but I believe in creating an open and safe environment for you to share issues and feelings without feeling judged. I work with you at a pace you feel comfortable with while building the therapeutic relationship.

Salutations, and welcome. I invite you to join me on a healing journey where you can feel seen, supported, and safe. I am a licensed mental health counselor, EMDR-trained clinician, and registered art therapist with more than a decade of trauma-informed experience. My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and deep respect for you as the expert of your own life. I use a person-centered style and integrate a variety of approaches, including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, solution-focused methods, sand tray work, and traditional talk therapy. This allows me to tailor sessions to your unique needs, goals, and personality. I find great joy in walking alongside clients as they grow, heal, and create the version of themselves they wish to become.
