Hi, thanks for stopping by! The founding principles I have based my professional practice on are: empathy, respect, non-judgement and self-awareness. Very well acquainted personally and professionally with Anxiety, I have developed a specialty in this area. My approach to Anxiety and Mental Health in general, is one of "working with" rather than "fighting against". I have found it effective to start therapy by focusing on where the client is at on any given moment, and together working our way to where the client wants to be. My therapy style is Solution-focused, with emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, also informed by Systems Theory, Humanistic and Psychodynamic concepts. I have always been fascinated with the study of the human mind, especially the unconscious, and the impact personal perspective has on the circumstances we experience.

My goal is to meet you where you are by bringing a compassionate approach backed by formal training and experience and be a part of your goals in the change process. I am very personable as well as professional and I do not believe in one-sided relationships. I have a multidisciplinary, eclectic approach to therapy in which I utilize techniques and principles from a variety of modalities to include Christian based. My counseling is geared toward treating the whole person from a biopsychosocial spiritual standpoint. I view counseling as a calling and not as a career and that it is a collaborative effort in which I learn and grow as a result of every interaction. My clients describe me as a “good listener” and as someone who “makes me think”. Some of the experiences that have contributed to my professional identity and approach to mental health treatment are my formal education at Pensacola Christian College where I received a BA in Pastoral Ministry and Liberty University where I received a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked as a therapist under regulatory agencies for 6 years and have worked in Christian Ministry since my ministerial ordination in 2003. Demographics I have served have included inpatient and outpatient care, private practice, substance abuse issues, psychotic spectrum disorders, gender identity issues, personality disorders, sex addiction, family and relationship issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Spirituality, and men’s issues. My experiences as a combat military veteran, teacher, father, husband, and a person who has experienced my own traumas and failures have contributed to my professional development. I look forward to getting to know you!

Originally, I had dreams of becoming a medical doctor but, always believed that a person's overall wellness is dependent upon both physical and psychological health. However, during the latter part of my undergraduate studies, unexpected life events led to an impactful shift in focus, and I felt called to a more specific purpose regarding caring for people. I then pivoted and shifted my studies, ultimately achieving a Bachelor’s degree from Florida International University where I majored in Psychology and minored in Biology. Always staying true to my heart I executed the shift from biological to psychological health where I enrolled in Graduate school and received a Master’s degree in Psychology from Carlos Albizu University. While at Carlos Albizu I studied a dual major in Mental Health and Marriage & Family Therapy. I completed my Practicum at Milestones to Recovery where I found my passion for treating individuals with eating disorders, women's issues, addictions, and substance use disorders. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and substance abuse treatment. In my pursuit of being part of someone's healing and learning about people, I have held multiple professional roles throughout the years, starting as a primary therapist at the residential, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient therapist at both eating disorder and substance use treatment programs. Later transitioned along the way to lead therapist, supervisor, program director roles, and Chief of Operations. For the past six years, I have served in many clinical roles and lastly as the Chief Clinical Officer for a well-established non-profit addiction treatment center in Delray Beach.

I am here to meet you where you are and as you are. I approach life with the understanding that pain is a natural part of the human experience, yet how we interpret and handle that pain can be a choice. My goal is to assist you in developing strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively. I use person centered and mindfulness based therapy that increases self awareness. Through cognitive based therapy, you can challenge barriers that prevent you from reaching your goals.

Hi, I’m Andrés and if you’re reading this, you might be the one everyone counts on, the one who gets it done, but lately... it’s been feeling like too much. Maybe sleep is broken, work feels relentless, or you snap at people you love and don’t know why. I work with high-achieving, deeply committed people who are tired of carrying the weight alone. Therapy with me is real, practical, and focused we get to the root of things so you can finally exhale, feel lighter, and show up how you want to at work, at home, and for yourself.

Hello! My name is Kathleen Walker. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. In my thirties, I decided to change careers and began my studies and work in the Mental Health field. During the last ten years of education and practice, my love for this work has grown exponentially. I have a deep respect for people who are attempting to work towards bettering their lives, no matter where they are in that process. So much of my experience involves working with those who are fighting addiction and impulse issues. I have also worked alongside individuals with histories of trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and much more. I believe in using evidence based approaches and techniques that most speak to the individual I am working with – in other words, I believe in meeting people where they are in their lives right now. Whether you are battling addiction or depression or simply wanting support in a life change, I look forward to sharing in your journey toward meeting your goals!
