Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth. By combining psychotherapy and clinical social work theories within a strength-based model, I help clients build coping strategies, discover new tools, and reclaim their sense of well-being. Our work together will focus on developing a trusting, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship—one that is grounded in empathy, respect, and validation, without pity or blame. My practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, all within a behavioral change framework. These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you move forward with resilience, clarity, and hope. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. My role is to walk beside you, providing guidance, insight, and encouragement as you rediscover your strength and reclaim your light.

These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact.

Hello, I’m Chevalene Barnes—a woman of faith and a dedicated mental health professional. For over 26 years, I have been privileged to guide individuals toward freedom from limiting beliefs, empowering them to live confidently, boldly, and free from fear, anxiety, and self-doubt through the transformative power of God's Word. My Personal Journey Having faced my own share of personal traumas—experiencing insecurity, anger, depression, and feelings of inadequacy I understand what it’s like to feel trapped by doubts that challenge your sense of identity and purpose. At one point, I was held captive by these barriers, but through faith, perseverance, and God's Word, I was able to transform my life. My journey of overcoming personal challenges fuels my passion to help others do the same. My success story and healing process inspire my work—reaffirming that hope and restoration are always within reach.

I help adults who are struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem. My approach is structured, practical, and collaborative, combining evidence-based therapies with clear goals to help clients develop effective coping skills, process difficult life experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than two decades in competitive corporate environments where long hours, high expectations, and constant pressure were the norm. After earning an MBA from George Washington University and postgraduate work at Emory University, I witnessed firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and unresolved trauma can affect every aspect of a person's life. That experience allows me to connect naturally with professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and others navigating demanding careers while also supporting adults from all walks of life. Over the past seven years, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, specialized treatment settings, and private practice. Much of my clinical experience has focused on trauma recovery within a court-supervised treatment program, helping individuals process unresolved trauma, build solid recovery programs, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and design personal development plans that focuses on growth and execution. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the effects of trauma, navigating a difficult relationship, or searching for a renewed sense of purpose, my goal is to provide a supportive, structured environment where we can identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to create. I work to create an environment where clients feel safe enough to discuss the experiences they've carried for years while also providing a structured, goal-oriented process that translates insight into meaningful change.

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

You do not have to stay stuck in the thoughts, emotions, or patterns that are holding you back. My goal is to provide a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as you work toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a strengths-based approach that emphasizes what is already working and helps identify the resources and abilities you may not yet recognize in yourself. I also incorporate evidence-based strategies such as acceptance, mindfulness, and behavioral activation to support growth and help clients develop effective tools for lasting change. I have experience working with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. I understand how challenging it can be to reach out for support, particularly when you have been managing difficult thoughts, emotions, or behaviors on your own. My aim is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a practical plan for change.

Going through a change can be very tough and hard to navigate. Whether the changes are good or difficult, they can still be hard to work through. I can help you find a balance with the changes occurring in your life and the peace you hope to feel. Together we can work as a team to locate solutions to find acceptance and work out a plan to help you move forward in your life in a way that brings fulfillment. I use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. Although I can help you work through most changes you might be experiencing, I have many year's experience working with individuals in the Hospice setting, helping patients and survivors find peace during the end of life with dignity. These experiences have been strengthened by my personal journey with breast cancer, which has given me a perspective on the other side. I hope I can use my 30 plus years' experience as a therapist and my personal experience as a cancer survivor to help you learn how to find happiness and peace in your life.

I absolutely love what I do and my life has meaning because I see people I council get in with their life and living in healthy and meaningful ways. I am truly here for you. I could have retired a long time ago but I cannot believe that there is anything more satisfying or fulfilling than helping people when they reach out and ask for it.

Hello and welcome. I’m a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult moments. If you’ve arrived here feeling overwhelmed, lost, or exhausted, I’m truly glad you’re here. Navigating emotions can be draining, and it’s easy to feel discouraged, but you don’t have to lose hope. Whether you’re dealing with stress, grief, anxiety, lack of motivation, emotional numbness, self‑criticism, doubt, guilt, or frustration, there is a path forward. I offer Christian counseling for clients who prefer a faith‑based approach, and I also provide fully secular therapy for those who do not. Your values and beliefs guide the direction of our work, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are. My approach is grounded in realistic, practical strategies that help you reconnect with yourself, rebuild confidence, and rediscover joy. You already carry the strength needed to grow into the best version of yourself. If you’re willing to take that step, I’m honored to walk alongside you and witness your transformation.

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.

My approach to therapy is solution-focused, compassionate, and centered on helping clients build lasting skills. Rather than simply helping someone get through the current crisis, I want to equip them with the tools they need to navigate future challenges with greater confidence and independence. I focus on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that drive recurring patterns, whether that's unresolved childhood trauma, deeply held negative beliefs about oneself, or other core experiences. My goal is to help clients process those experiences, challenge unhelpful cognitions, and develop healthier, more adaptive beliefs about themselves. While it's important to acknowledge and address what's happening in a client's life right now, I believe lasting change comes from understanding and working through the deeper patterns that contribute to those challenges. I strive to balance supporting clients through present-day concerns with helping them create meaningful, long-term change.

Hello potential client! You are hurting in some way if you are here reading this. Maybe you feel like you are getting more and more stressed out and just one more stressor would be too much for you to handle. Maybe you worry all the time about everything and can't stop. Maybe you are sad all the time and don't enjoy doing things that used to be fun. Maybe you are feeling helpless or hopeless about what to do. Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience or are grieving. Maybe you are thinking the way you have been using substances is causing you problems. You have tried your best to help yourself but nothing has worked the way you hoped it would. You don't know what to do but you do know you can't keep going the way you have been. This is where I come in! I help people who are ready to change for the better! My heart is for helping hurting people and I strive to treat all of my clients with the compassion and respect I believe they deserve. The most important part of positive change in a therapeutic relationship depends on just that - the relationship between the therapist and the client. I also use a variety of resources to help my clients. These include evidence-based types of therapy, worksheets and measurements. I also offer Christian counseling to those who are interested and am also happy to work with people of other spiritual beliefs. I offer free consultation calls so we can both decide if working together would be a good fit for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you if I sound like I would be your kind of therapist!

I am an ordained Minister with a heart to ensure I bring the unadulterated word of God to assist in healing in areas of mind, body, and Spirit. I have experienced working with children suffering from physical and sexual abuse. I am trained in trauma-focused, along with many other evidence-based psychological treatments. I have been working with hurting women, men, and children for over 20 Years. I recognized my calling while volunteering at a shelter as an advocate. My passion is to guide women, men, and children who are hurting from abuse to empower them to realize they are no longer victims but overcomers. It's time to assist in restoring the order of the family as intended from the beginning.

Have you been able to follow through on your personal goals and aspirations? Maybe what is needed is a deep dive into why you keep choosing the same old same old. Maybe it’s time to finally choose peace instead of survival. Unresolved trauma need not interrupt your life and your personal relationships. I specialize in working with first responders and veterans. I use a multi-model approach to fit each client's style and needs. I specialize in Client Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. The mind's only job is to protect the body, our fear inducing thoughts that keep us in a constant state of alarm serve a purpose. Together we will question the mind's beliefs and start to sort the beliefs that serve us in the goals that we have established.

Hi there! My name is Natalie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the mental health field for 12 years. I would say my strong suit is working with clients dealing with: mens Issues, military populations, prenatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, low self- esteem, and social anxiety. My passion is working with people going through their toughest moments and watching them transform into the best version of themselves in the process. I really believe that each client deserves individualized treatment, not just a "cookie cutter" approach. I take my time building trust with my clients so they feel safe to be vulnerable in sessions with me. My ultimate goal is to create an environment where healing can happen.
