Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC based in Florida with 4 years of experience. I want to start affirming you by saying "You are improving your mental health symptoms every day." I'm stating this because you made the healthy choice to seek therapy. As your therapist I will always be on the lookout for strengths and empowering tools that I can use to keep you motivated to stay the course. Why? Because many times our maladaptive responses to our mental health symptoms form habits that require motivation and practice to unlearn. I will be there every step of the way to encourage you to keep moving forward. You got this, but it's nice to have your own personal cheerleader encouraging you and believing in you.

Hi. Welcome to my page. I am Oswaldo Castro but prefer to be called Oz. I am licensed mental health therapist with a plethora of experience. I first start my journey working in neurofeedback which has allowed me to work with a diverse population from children to seniors with issues with ADHD, autism, sleep disorder, anxiety disorders, depressed mood and a plethora of other neurodivergent individuals for about 7 years. 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. If you like what you can read so far, reach out to me and schedule a session. Hope to hear from you so we can start working on those goals that you may have for yourself.

I also specialize in working with clients who are of Indo-Caribbean (West Indian) heritage and/or first- and second-generation immigrants. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where collaboration and empowerment can be achieved. My mission is to listen, draw upon your strengths, and provide insightful support along the way. During the first session, you can expect an easy-going conversation to build a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. "PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Services are provided to clients who are interested in therapy on a short-term (one to three months) or long-term basis. For any requests for administrative services like disability certification, administrative letters, and special accommodations (such as Emotional Support Animals letters) related to a psychological condition, **please seek the services of another mental health provider**. The reason for this policy is to focus on building a therapeutic alliance and allocating resources for clinical services, not administrative tasks. Certain administrative services may be considered for long-term clients on a case-by-case basis and cannot be guaranteed."

I hold a deep respect for each person's unique story. I am passionate about supporting people in finding greater connections with themselves and those around them, and in being more present in their daily lives. Together we can craft an approach to counseling that works for you. I am a bilingual/bi-cultural therapist; able to do therapy in both English/Spanish. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Therapy provides an opportunity to wonder about experiences, emotions, and desires that we may not otherwise have space to explore. This process can deepen our insight into the impact of personal history on our current behavioral and emotional patterns, allowing us a greater sense of self and choice in our lives and relationships. In the course of psychotherapy, we will create a space of non-judgmental curiosity, including space for creativity, playfulness, and humor. I help my patients develop and strengthen their ability to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges so that they can live a more meaningful, mindful, and enjoyable life. I encourage my patients to work hard to grow and change, achieving the life they desire. I seek to develop a caring and supportive relationship with all my patients. You are a unique human being. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Let's talk and see if I am the right fit to help you reach the goals you want for yourself. Together we will work to deepen self-awareness, presence, and sense of possibility. I use she/her pronouns. *** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have a Master's in Social Work (MSW) from Barry University. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities enhance their well-being and overall functioning. As a social worker, I hold a firm belief that every person has a unique and valuable story. Each individual's life is like a book, filled with a series of chapters that encompass a wide range of experiences, emotions, and challenges. Sometimes, people get stuck on a particular page or in a specific chapter of their story, feeling unable to move forward. This can happen due to various reasons, such as trauma, loss, mental health struggles, or significant life changes. It's normal to face difficulties at specific points in life. Feeling stuck might manifest as being overwhelmed, experiencing depression or anxiety, encountering repeated obstacles in relationships or careers, or simply feeling unfulfilled. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward seeking help and making positive changes. My role as a social worker is to help you identify the specific issues causing you to feel stuck. Through empathetic listening and comprehensive assessment, we can pinpoint the root causes of your difficulties, whether they stem from past experiences, current stressors, or underlying mental health conditions. Once we understand the issues, we can work together to develop a range of skills and tools to help you manage these situations.

Hi, I'm Cinthya! Here’s a few things I believe that I emphasize with my clients. 1. Perfectionism doesn’t exist. 2. You are stronger and more resilient than you think, AND give yourself credit for. 3. No one has lived your life for you. No one else really knows your life. Only you know your truth. 4. Everyone is capable of attaining their goals and finding that peace in their life they deserve. 5. It takes a lot of courage to admit we even need help sometimes, let alone take the steps to find it. 6. Change begins with awareness. 7. There are many ways to see the same thing, so challenge your perspective. 8. It’s okay to make mistakes. You’re human. 9. Emotions are valid even if they’re “wrong.” It’s what you do with them that really matters. That said, I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. I am here to help you figure out what you want out of your life and takes steps to get there. I look forward to working with you!

As a Christian who is a counselor, I feel compelled and honored to walk alongside those who are hurting, create a gentle and safe space for them to be vulnerable and honest about where they are, and find healing. I know how it feels to be hurting and needing someone who can help you work through your own struggles, and I look forward to walking with you through this journey of healing. It takes a lot of courage to taking this first step towards mental/emotional wellness and I am happy to work with you.

Empowering Your Journey to Mental Well-Being: Counseling with Michael Thompson Creating a Safe Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment: Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path. I specialize in helping people with addictive behaviors, depression, personality disorders, severe mental illness, anxiety, major life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and finding their identity as adults.  Tailored Approaches for Your Unique Needs: I use a variety of approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, where we focus on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences. I also believe in motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation and inspiration to make positive changes.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. My work over the years dealing with all these issues and more have met with tremendous success. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.

*Please email me prior to setting an appointment for the most accurate availability* Instead of unintentionally boring you with all my credentials and training, I wanted to switch things up a bit and be transparent. First and foremost, I identify as a woman of color, a mother, wife, and counselor. I acquired licensure to counsel in the state of Florida and through personal experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and miscarriage was steered in the direction of becoming a Perinatal Mental Health Trained Counselor. I strongly believe that my experiences and passion for mental health led me to this field of working with mothers and providing them with the help and support I longed to have when I was in need. My training as a Perinatal Mental Health Counselor has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to serve mothers on their journey to conception, pregnancy, miscarriages, childbirth and beyond. The women of the world are life sources and nurturers, they deserve to be heard, and supported. They deserve to be well. Although I am a counselor that specializes in Perinatal Mental Health, I am just as passionate about counseling individuals for all backgrounds who are seeking healing and inner peace. As a woman of color, mother, wife and counselor, I am here to empower all individuals to believe they are worthy of care and wellness is possible. It’s time to say “Yes” to wellness. Contact us today to set up your appointment. Help is only a click away.

I have been practicing therapy for over sixteen years. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from Florida International University and my PsyD. in Grief Counselling from Breyer State Theology University. I have experience with individuals, couples, and families. Some of my primary areas of expertise are family and relationship conflict, intimacy related issues and difficulty with various life changes and transitions. I specialize in assisting those who may be going through a rough patch in life or have experienced the death of a loved one. It is important to have a strong therapeutic relationship with your therapist and to feel that they are a good match for you. I want you to feel that therapy is a safe and non-judgmental place to share your thoughts, and feelings. I believe that counseling should primarily be solution-focused to help you achieve your goals and begin to see improvement as soon as possible.

My name is Eric Lopez. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I studied psychology at the University of Florida and earned my Masters of Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. I am client centered in my approach to therapy and believe empathy and understanding are key to the therapeutic relationship. Having over 15 years of counseling in the state of Florida, over the years I have worked with people suffering from depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, homelessness, and juvenile delinquency issues. The clients I have worked with have been between the ages of 5 and 85 from all races, ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, political beliefs, and sexual orientations. The key to counseling and the client receiving true help, in my opinion, is having an open, empathetic, and trusting therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe, heard and understood. With the client being the expert on their life, therapist and client together can bring clarity to thoughts, emotions, values, priorities, situations, and decisions. I integrate cognitive, behavioral, motivational interviewing, solution focused, existential and other approaches into counseling that is tailored to the client's needs and personality. Helping clients overcome problems and function at their best is my goal and honor. I hold a current License for Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida.
