After spending a year in the field, I continued my education at Nova Southeastern University, earning a Master’s of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I began my counseling journey after realizing that many people are struggling to find their way through the difficulties of life. Whether the difficulties begin with stress, anxiety, depression or a traumatic event, I am dedicated to providing a confidential and collaborative approach to your treatment.
Hello. I want to start by saying, "Thank you for deciding to show up for yourself by seeking support." As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Grief Coach, retreat facilitator, and transformational speaker. I meet individuals all the time who share with me that making the first appointment is hard, but grateful they did once they start counseling. My life calling is to create non-judgmental spaces for broken hearts to be healed and purposeful living to be restored. I look forward to creating a nonjudgmental space of guidance and healing.
Hi, I’m Jessica Aubuchon, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore life’s challenges, gain insight, and build the tools needed to create meaningful change.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and issues related to self-esteem and personal growth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic, and somatic approaches.

I work collaboratively with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, men’s issues, and relationship concerns, including marital difficulties. I provide neurodivergent-affirming care in a supportive environment where clients feel understood, respected, and accepted as they are.
Using an integrative approach that blends Somatic, DBT, CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic techniques, I help clients gain insight, build practical coping skills, and break patterns that no longer serve them. My focus is on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, strengthen resilience, and cultivate self-compassion.
Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m here to guide and support you as you navigate life’s challenges, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward greater balance, connection, and well-being
I’m a passionate and experienced therapist committed to empowering adults through compassionate care, active support, and mutual respect. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where trust can flourish and healing can begin.

Together, we’ll take it one day at a time, setting realistic goals that help you move toward greater freedom, emotional wellness, and the best version of yourself. I’ll be here to guide and equip you with insight and practical tools to help you grow, heal, and thrive.
With over 30 years of experience serving individuals and families from multicultural backgrounds—and more than 20 years as a first responder in crisis intervention and mental health diagnosis—I bring a deep understanding of human resilience and the tools to foster transformation.

Hi, I'm Clarisa, a licensed therapist (LMHC) based in Florida. I was born in Venezuela and grew up in Miami, and I work with a lot of clients who are navigating identity, family expectations, or the push and pull of straddling two cultures, because I've lived that too. Outside the therapy room, you'll usually find me working out, cooking recipes I see on social media, spending time with friends and family, or unapologetically binging a TV show. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, currently finishing my Doctorate in Psychology, and I also have a background in psychological evaluations, but what matters more day to day is that I show up curious, warm, and genuinely in your corner, not just taking notes.

I strive to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, gain deeper self-awareness, and develop practical tools for lasting change. My goal is to empower clients to strengthen their relationships, establish healthy boundaries, embrace their authentic selves, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy, based in South Florida. I believe the families and communities we grow up in shape nearly everything about who we become — how we love, how we trust, how we cope, and how we show up for the people who matter most to us.
I have a deep appreciation for the richness and complexity that culture, identity, and lived experience bring into the therapy room. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, and I have a particular heart for first-generation individuals and families who are often holding the weight of two worlds — honoring where they came from while finding their footing in where they are.
My specialty is working with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of early experiences. Whether you are carrying something you have never said out loud, working through a relationship that feels stuck, or simply sensing that something needs to shift — you have found a space where you are welcome exactly as you are.

I am a licensed mental health counselor providing therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a supportive and collaborative environment. My practice is grounded in a person-centered approach, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for change.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. In sessions, I support clients in exploring their thoughts and emotions, gaining insight into patterns that may be contributing to distress, and identifying realistic and meaningful goals. Using CBT, we focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while also practicing coping skills, cognitive reframing, and emotional regulation strategies.
Through a Solution-Focused lens, I help clients recognize their existing strengths, resilience, and past successes to guide goal setting and create forward movement. This approach encourages clients to envision their preferred future and take small, achievable steps toward positive change. By combining these approaches, I tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs and experiences.
My goal is to empower clients to increase self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in managing life’s challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where clients are active participants in their growth.

Hello, I'm Kristen Price, an LCSW with experience helping individuals navigate life's most challenging transitions. My background in medical social work has given me extensive experience supporting people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I utilize evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients gain insight, identify practical solutions, and move toward their goals. It is my belief that therapy should be a supportive space where clients feel heard and understood in addition to being challenged to grow.
I work with teens and adults who want a space where they can breathe, feel understood, and not have to explain the parts of themselves that already feel heavy. Many come in sorting through identity, mood shifts, trauma, or the realities of living with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. My approach is rooted in empathy, deep listening, and genuine connection. Together, we move toward healing, steadiness, and a life that feels more like your own.

I help clients better understand their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
I approach mental wellness as a spectrum of being that will regularly ebb and flow for all people. We all have "good" days and "not so good" days; we all need someone to talk to and to listen to us when days are harder, and we all need a compassionate voice to tell us that we can work through this. Menatl health work is manageable when it is education and information based, which helps us to make our problems seem more manageable. I like to help my clients feel comfortable about talking through their thoughts and obstacles, and finding real, simple solutions to problems. I have worked with people of all ages; my youngest client was 3 years old, and my oldest client was 84; I am proud to say that I can adjust to meet clients' needs. This is due to my ability to listen and to collaborate actively with clients to help them have a say in their care and healing.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You can cry. You can sit in silence. You can struggle to find words. You can just be.
There is no judgment here, only honesty, patience, and room to breathe.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own.
My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you.
Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice from Shaw University, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding societal structures and issues. My academic journey continued at Webster University, where I obtained my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, equipping me with advanced counseling techniques and knowledge.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in a range of areas, including trauma-informed care, behavioral disorders, and ADD/ADHD. I also focus on social-emotional learning, recognizing its critical role in the development and well-being of individuals, particularly children. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients reframe negative thought patterns, as well as person-centered therapy that emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I incorporate mindfulness techniques and play therapy to create an engaging and effective therapeutic environment. With a deep commitment to fostering resilience and personal growth, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I work with, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive.
