I have more than 15 years of experience in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health, with a specialization in system improvements. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a track record of leading innovative programs aimed at supporting children and families. Previously, I served as the CEO for the Children's Advocacy Center on the Treasure Coast and as the COO for Hibiscus Children’s Center, where I successfully implemented the Sanctuary Model, an organizational change model grounded in trauma theory. During my time at Hibiscus, I held multiple roles, including Director of Mental Health Services and Program Coordinator for the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program. My commitment to providing transformative care and my dedication to advancing the mission of mental health advocacy have been the driving forces behind my work. I currently serve as the Clinical Director at Remedy Therapy, where I continue to utilize my expertise in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health. In this role, I am dedicated to overseeing the implementation of effective therapeutic interventions and ensuring the provision of high-quality care to our clients. My focus remains on driving positive outcomes for individuals and families while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment within the organization. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University, and an MBA from Liberty University, which I obtained in 2017. Additionally, I am a licensed mental health counselor and qualified supervisor for registered mental health interns seeking licensure. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am also a devoted wife to my husband Preston and a proud parent to our 8-year-old daughter named Penelope. Our family is completed by our beloved Aussie Doodles named “Goose” and "Maverick".

*Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy.* I am ready to help you! I have been a therapist for 10+ years and my mission is to help you find balance in your life. I view therapy through a holistic standpoint, in which I use the mind and the body to help you get to the wellness that you so deserve. I became a therapist because I wanted to help clients navigate the stresses of work and life and make meaningful changes that would improve their mental well-being. At the first session, you can expect a non-judgmental and an easy-going conversation to build up a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I received a Master's degree in family psychology, in 2010, from Hardin-Simmons University in Texas. I engage others by helping them feel comfortable while also being solution focused. I prescribe to a Cognitive behavioral approach which helps others see life's problems and solutions in a better light. I work with individuals ages 5-100, families, adolescents, marriage or relationship counseling, premarital counseling, and parents who need some guidance raising their children. Some areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, bipolar, problem solving, relationship specialist, communication skills, anger management, coping skills, relaxation exercises, and panic attacks.

Hello, I’m Yolande Maxius, a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in various therapy techniques, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). If you’re struggling with mental health issues, I’m here to offer my assistance and support. Navigating through life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and it’s important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. As a trained professional, I provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. With EMDR, I utilize a specialized approach that can be highly effective in addressing past traumas, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health concerns. EMDR therapy helps to reprocess distressing memories and experiences, allowing for healing and positive change. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, we can work together to promote resilience and foster emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or the aftermath of a traumatic event, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies.

Hi! My name is Glenda mostly known as “Gigi”. I am a highly energetic and motivated Licensed Mental Health Counselor in South Florida that thrives to help others reach their undiscovered potential. I have over 15 years of experience working in mental health with diverse populations and demographics ranging from community mental health to private practice. I have a desire to innovate how mental health is perceived and facilitate treatment. My approach emphasizes the mutual development of goals for therapy and the provision of ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic process. I seek to create an integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to treating mental health through evidence-based practice and techniques. FACTS: 1 in 5 U.S. adults and 1 in 6, aged 6-17, experience mental health each year (NAMI 2020) You are not alone. Help is available! Don't let depression or anxiety get in the way of becoming something more. Let me help you overcome the obstacles getting the way of living your best life. My training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Play Therapy, and Crisis Intervention. Make your mental health a priority today. "PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Ms. Gonzalez limits the services provided to you to those that are clinical in nature. Any requests for additional administrative services like disability certification and special accommodations (such as Emotional Support Animals letters) related to a psychological condition will have to be provided by another mental health provider. Short-term disability certification by Ms. Gonzalez will be limited to a period of time not to exceed 4 weeks, at which time those determinations will also have to be made by another mental health provider. The reason for this policy is to avoid having the performance of administrative functions interfere with your therapy."

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
