Welcome!
My name is Angie Hamilton and I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist.
Are you tired of life weighing you down? Do you want to get un-stuck? Do you keep repeating the same mistakes?
I specialize in anxiety, PTSD, trauma, self-esteem issues, and also addictions. I use traditional psycho-analytic techniques to get to the bottom of the issues to the root causes. They say it will feel worse before it gets better, but I promise you it is well worth it, and YOU are worth it.
I'm honest and will give you a clear view of what I see is going on! I believe healing is found in the truth.
PLEASE ONLY BOOK APPOINTMENTS ON THE FULL HOUR.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about walking alongside individuals who want to heal, grow, and build healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. Over the years, I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and difficulties in relationships, and I have seen firsthand how meaningful therapy can be when it feels both safe and effective. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel understood and supported while also learning concrete tools to create change in your everyday life. My role is to listen as well as help you gain insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen your confidence in managing stressors. I bring warmth, compassion, and evidence-based strategies to my work so that clients leave sessions feeling both validated and equipped to move forward.
I utilize a key component of self-care and self-love to help clients develop a stronger, more confident self-image. Clients can expect to feel safe & heard, while gaining clarity with interactive homework assignments. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to relationships or life issues. Most of my clients see a gradual decrease of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
I am a bilingual therapist that uses a culturally competent lens to empower individuals. I utilize a down to earth, genuine, and caring approach to help clients build resilience, heal from life’s challenges, and unlock their own strengths.
My parents came from Cuba in order to open up the doors for me to have what they never had the opportunity to obtain. I am the first person in my family to attend college and to this day the majority of my family does not speak English. My family raised me in a culture where family and relationships are highly valued. I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures.
Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc.
Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle?
Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt.
Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin?
Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens. If you’re looking for a therapist who can relate and will interweave authenticity with a refreshingly no-bullshit, direct approach, then you have come to the right place.

I also enjoy working with couples as well as providing parent skills to parents in all different stages of parenting.
You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen. You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate your experience or explain the weight of 'the hustle'—a space where your culture and identity are honored, not just acknowledged.
I provide expert, culturally-attuned support through evidence-based therapy to help you work through barriers and live fully. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s your greatest tool for change. You’ve got the vision—let’s build the path to get you there.
Hi I'm Tammy!

I help clients in all stages of life find their inner strength and empower themselves. I will work with you to fill your tool box with strategies you can use to manage anxiety, depression, and life changes such as parenthood, empty nest, caregiving and end of life. We will use a whole self approach incorporating mindfulness, inner child healing and evidence based techniques to help bring your mind, body and soul back into balance.
You know yourself best and I strive to assist you in healing and releasing what is holding you back from living your best life. Taking this first step can be scary but you are so worth it! I would be honored to be part of your journey. Let's work together!

I have worked with diverse populations on a variety of issues. I love watching people improve in the areas they want to improve in. Let’s work together to make positive changes in your life!
My dream client is someone who recognizes that they deserve to be happy and is genuinely ready to grow. They approach the therapeutic process with an open mind, understanding that motivation and introspection can develop over time. This client is committed to taking control of their life and actively managing symptoms of mental health that hinder their well-being, paving the way for a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.
I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re navigating loss, transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our work together can help you explore meaning, clarify purpose, and move toward a more authentic and grounded sense of well-being. I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and respect, believing it can be a space not only for healing, but also for reclaiming parts of yourself and imagining new possibilities.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida and in Illinois. I obtained my Masters degree from Aurora University here in Aurora, IL.

My name is Michael Hutchinson - though I go by Hutch - and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been working in the field of mental health since 2012, and actively practicing with individuals, couples, and groups since 2018. At the core of my practice is a constructivist approach, treating individuals as experts on themselves as we work to apply the theories of change I endorse to create meaningful/ values-congruent improvements wherever indicated. In my individual work I aim to scaffold skills, concepts, and techniques to ensure that distress is resolved and change is promoted across any number of domains of life. I strive to promote self-determination, and to develop the perspective that all emotions are carriers of information that deserve proactive plans or reassurance through context.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by a world not built for your brain? I work with neurodivergent individuals of all ages, including those with ADHD, high functioning Autism or AuDHD often late-diagnosed, who are tired of 'trying harder' and ready to start 'trying differently. I provide a space where you don’t have to mask to be heard.
I also help older adults distinguish between 'senior moments' and the lifelong patterns of ADHD. If retirement has removed the structure you once relied on, making it harder to stay organized or present in conversations, we can work together to find clarity. It is never too late to understand your brain and reclaim your focus. I treat Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Anger and Relationship Issues.
Hey hey, I'm Lex!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals and couples build healthier, more connected relationships. Over the past 12 years, I’ve supported clients in breaking destructive patterns, improving communication, and creating relationships rooted in respect and understanding.
I believe that when relationships struggle, it’s often because of conflicting expectations, unmet needs, or repeated behaviors that no longer serve us. My role is to help you recognize these patterns and choose new ways of communicating that create connection instead of conflict. I use a holistic approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit, helping you grow not just in your relationships, but as a whole person.
Hello, hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida where I graduated with my Master of Social Work degree from the University of South Florida. I have been working with clients since 2020 and enjoy providing a safe space for my clients to address their concerns while providing them with the tools they may need to empower them towards growth.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years of clinical and leadership experience, licensed in Florida and Alaska. My background as a CEO and Behavioral Health Director informs my approach, blending executive-level insight with hands-on behavioral health expertise. I am dedicated to helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose, and I prioritize creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected.
👋 Hi, I’m Don Patton, I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the patterns that keep people stuck despite wanting to change. My background is primarily in residential treatment, where I’ve worked closely with individuals in early recovery navigating high risk transitions, emotional instability, and repeated relapse cycles.
That experience has shaped how I approach therapy. I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone is not enough. Many of the people I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but continue to struggle when it comes to applying that awareness in real-life situations. My work is focused on closing that gap.
I tend to be direct, structured, and practical in session. I will challenge thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck; while also helping you build tools that are realistic and usable outside of therapy. At the same time, I understand that change requires trust, consistency, and a space where you can be honest without judgment.
My goal is not just to help you understand yourself better, it’s to help you create measurable, sustainable change in how you think, respond, and move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with adults, adoptees, and trauma. My therapeutic approach revolves around building a relationship with my clients and establishing the core issue of what is a challenge for them by facilitating a place for them to be transparent with themselves, judgment-free. I have experience working with all walks of life and have held an assortment of different roles in the field working with social services, foster care, adoption, and healthcare. These experiences have made me well-rounded when it comes to addressing cultures and beliefs that differ from my own. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.
I am passionate about trauma and helping others who have suffered from trauma in the past. The impact of trauma is largely unrecognized and can last a lifetime. Additionally, symptoms of trauma masquerade as many other diagnoses. For example, thousands of children are diagnosed each year with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, when their symptoms are actually due to trauma. Trauma disguises itself as anger management issues, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks ... the list goes on and on. For me, treating trauma and helping others overcome its devastating effects is intensely rewarding.
My professional path began in high-pressure corporate environments where performance, long hours, and responsibility were expected. After more than two decades in complex global organizations — earning an MBA from George Washington University and completing postgraduate work at Emory University — I saw firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can destabilize both professional and personal life.
For the past seven years, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, Drug Court, and private practice settings. A significant portion of my training involved delivering intensive trauma therapy within a court-supervised program, working with individuals experiencing PTSD, substance use disorders, anger issues, and significant life disruption. That environment required structure, mutual accountability, and advanced emotional regulation skills. It also required the disciplined application of evidence-based trauma treatments while maintaining psychological safety in high-intensity situations.
I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship strain — particularly when the life they have built no longer feels sustainable or aligned with who they want to become.
Hi, I’m Cyndi Oberdan, and if you’re reading my page, I can tell that no matter what you are going through right now, you have COURAGE. Maybe you don’t feel brave, but it takes COURAGE to ask for help, and Courage to venture “into the unknown.”
I would be honored to journey with you on this new adventure of yours.
I have been serving people for over 15 years. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in 2006 from the University of Florida in Recreational Therapy. Later, in 2013, I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Adelphi University.
Over the last 15 years, I have had the privilege to work in a variety of settings. I started off working with individuals diagnosed with a developmental or intellectual disability and their families. I had the privilege of running a family respite program, and later the honor to manage a Community Habilitation program where I assisted individuals ages 13 to 60+ with achieving their goals. (These goals varied from basic life skills, to enhancing academic skills, to developing coping skills, all while increasing socialization and connection). Later I worked in Child Welfare, as a Child Protective Investigator; investigating allegations of abuse/neglect and ensuring child safety. I have also worked with families, assisting them with getting to the root of their issues while strengthening the family unit. Lastly, I have worked as a medical social worker, both in the hospital and in the outpatient Clinics, as well as in the Emergency Department. I provide crisis intervention, case management, and counseling services; assisting patients with trauma, adjustment disorder, grief and socioeconomic barriers.
I use an eclectic approach to meet the needs of each individual client. Treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.
