I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry overseas. I have a prior career before becoming a therapist, working about 12 years overseas. My approach blends practical tools with thoughtful conversation, helping you better understand what you’re experiencing while also building strategies you can use in everyday life. I have successfully worked with adults from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faiths. I have experience treating clients struggling with a wide variety of mental health conditions and stressors including, but not limited to, anxiety/PTSD, and depression. I am trained in many clinical skills such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT to name a few. My ministry experience and training allow me to integrate faith easily into therapy whenever clients believe it will be most beneficial.
Hi, my name is Racquel Williams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Utah and Arizona. Do you feel overwhelmed and pulled in a million directions? Are you struggling to have effective and open communication with your loved ones? Do you find it difficult navigating your way through life? Having conflicts in your marriage?

I work with clients to identify their strengths and how to use them successfully, while navigating through life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including infertility, parenting, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life changes, loss and grief.
My treatment style is laid back but warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, solution focused therapy, and strength-based therapy. I also look at a person’s strength because we are always our biggest critic. I believe everyone has tools in their toolbox to build on. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively, at their pace, to make them feel safe and supported.

I am passionate about offering support, guidance, and empowering individuals on their journey towards improved mental well-being.
It is my honor to welcome you to a safe and understanding space for growth and healing.
I am a dedicated and experienced licensed therapist specializing in adult and couples counseling.

Hi, I’m Shena Moreau, Founder of Valorous Wellness and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping women heal and grow through a holistic approach to mental health. I specialize in breathwork, meditation, and sound healing, blending traditional therapy with mindful, heart-centered practices that nurture the mind, body, and soul. My mission is to help and create a safe and supportive space for women where healing feels whole, and clients can reconnect with themselves and find balance from within.
My name is Ashley Davis and I am a licensed counselor in the state of Georgia and Florida. I have about 12 years of experience working in community mental health with adults and children as well as a private agency. I serve a range of diagnoses and presenting problems. I am very personable, down to earth, and have a passion for what I do.
I am an LCSW and transformational coach. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT and Mindfulness, along with other evidence-based interventions. I work individually with clients to help them reach their full potential and overcome any obstacles standing in their way. It is my absolute passion to inspire clients and give them the ability to triumph over life’s challenges.I provide clients with the tools and coping skills they need to overcome their overwhelming emotions.
What typically surprises people is that I am the 11th of 13 children - all from the same parents. Growing up with so many siblings has given me a great opportunity to learn about family dynamics and effective discipline. My parents did a great job of maintaining a safe and well-behaved home, and I use their example as a template while also incorporating my own experience as a parent for working with families today.
As for my approach to therapy, I use several different theories depending on the need of the client; however, my primary mode is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It just fits my personality. If you are looking for a therapist who focuses solely on your emotions and how you're feeling on any given day, then I will not be a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a therapist who not only does all that but who will also listen to everything you say (as well as the meaning behind what you say) and then challenge your thinking habits to help you find more effective and productive thinking patterns, then I'm on board for that. I learned a long time ago that many clients do not want things "Sugar Coated", but rather prefer their therapist to be respectfully bold and blunt. If this is who you are looking for in a therapist, then let's get to work.

I am an eternal optimist with a heartfelt passion for caring for others, something that has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I feel deeply honored to walk alongside people as they learn to cope, heal, and reconnect with themselves. Supporting clients in regulating their nervous systems and building effective coping strategies is not just my work, but my greatest joy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. My career has taken me across the U.S. and abroad—including New York City, California, and Dublin, Ireland—giving me a broad perspective on the many ways people navigate life’s challenges.
Currently, I provide tele-therapy sessions through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Many of my clients have found this format especially helpful in balancing therapy with their busy or unpredictable schedules.
My areas of expertise include working with issues related to gender identity, sexuality, and non-traditional relationships (including polyamory and open relationships). I also bring both clinical expertise and personal insight into the challenges that arise in connection with personality disorders such as Narcissistic, Borderline, Avoidant, and Antisocial Personality Disorders. In particular, I help clients process and heal from the emotional trauma that often accompanies relationships impacted by these dynamics.
My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. Whether you are seeking support around identity, relationships, or recovery from difficult past experiences, I provide a safe and affirming space where growth and healing are possible.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I find joy in activities that keep me grounded and creative. I love traveling and exploring new places, tending to my garden, playing the piano, working out, and cooking. I also have a passion for interior design and creating welcoming spaces. Most importantly, I value quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Batman, who always manages to bring a smile to my day.

As a passionate and direct therapist, I am dedicated to guiding my clients towards breakthrough moments and empowering them with the tools to navigate life's challenges.

Witnessing my clients achieve personal growth and resilience is not only fulfilling but reaffirms my commitment to facilitating positive change in their lives.
Something feels off, but you can't quite name it. Maybe you're anxious, burnt out, or just going through the motions — doing everything "right" and still feeling disconnected. I work with people who are ready to slow down, get honest with themselves, and figure out who they actually are beneath all the noise.
I'm Shauna — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Yoga Teacher with over a decade of experience in behavioral health. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices, because I believe real healing happens in the body as much as the mind. Sessions are virtual, so you can do this work from wherever feels most comfortable.
I'm also drawn to the deeper questions — the ones about meaning, identity, and what you're really here to do. If you've ever felt like conventional therapy doesn't quite hold all of you, my holistic approach makes room for that — spiritually curious people feel at home here.

I am not here to tell you who to be, but t help highlight the strengths you already possess. Together, we will create a safe, collaborative space where your vice is the priority and your healing is the mission.

I help people sort through stress, self-doubt, relationship tension, and life transitions—with clarity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor.

I’m straightforward and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are without judgment, help you challenge what’s keeping you stuck, and walk alongside you as you make sense of what’s working—and what isn’t.

I have been in the mental health field since 2007. I was informed when I first started in this field that the average time for people to stay in the field is two years. I am still in the field because helping others is more than a career choice for me, it is my passion in life. Helping others is a personal goal of mine. I look forward to the opportunity. I enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, children, adolescents and teens, from various cultures and backgrounds. Each case and each client is unique in their way and each client is important.
My particular areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling and family counseling. I refer to myself as a "simple-minded therapist" which means we will explore simple ways to address the presenting concerns because many times the solutions are so simple they can be easily overlooked. I am a firm believer that holding a conversation is more productive than expounding on theoretical approaches.
Hello There, I'm Jeff.
Do you ever feel feel lost, down, frustrated, confused, or simply scared. Or that your life can be just simply be difficult, but could it be different?

The answer to these questions are all a resounding yes!
Finding a way to look at life and its challenges differently is what therapy and change is really all about. For over a decade now, I have been helping others through a variety of life challenges of growth including trauma, post traumatic stress, depression, loss, anxiety, life transitions, spiritual crises and anxiety as a counselor and life coach.
I am committed to working with success minded individuals to find ways to help you open up, connect with a more authentic you, declutter your life, and simply work towards the life you seek. Together, we can envision your purpose driven, meaningful life and explore how to change patterns that are holding you back and simplify your approach.

As an LMHC specialized in trauma, I work with both children and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional pain, difficult life experiences, and relationship challenges.

I have over 14 years experience working with clients that have experienced PTSD, including first responders, military families and individuals that have had an abuse experience.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Florida. I received my Masters from St. Thomas University and have been practicing for 24 years. I help adults and families in developing tools to address individual and/or family concerns and assist with personal growth and healing.

Hello, and welcome. I am Alberto Tcah, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress-related difficulties. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences.
My therapeutic approach is individualized and evidence-based, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other supportive interventions to help clients build resilience, improve coping skills, and create meaningful emotional growth. I also have experience supporting caregivers and families coping with dementia and other medically related emotional challenges.
Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression.
I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.
Florida Therapist for High-Achieving Adults: ADHD, Burnout & Trauma Recovery
I'm Michael Blake Edwards, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida, working with driven adults — executives, entrepreneurs, first responders, and veterans — who look like they have it together from the outside but feel scattered, on edge, or disconnected on the inside. If you've built the career, stayed disciplined, and kept pushing, and something still feels off, that's not a character flaw. It's usually a sign your mind and body are asking for something you haven't addressed yet.
My work focuses on the root causes behind distraction, restlessness, and burnout — often unrecognized adult ADHD, chronic stress, or unresolved trauma hiding underneath a high-functioning exterior. I integrate EMDR (trained through the Trauma Therapist Institute) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with a practical, goal-oriented approach, so sessions build tools you can use immediately — not just insight you sit with.
Areas of focus: adult ADHD assessment and coaching, trauma and PTSD (EMDR/ART), high-functioning anxiety, burnout and nervous system regulation, men's issues, and military and first-responder mental health.
With 14+ years of clinical experience, I hold licensure as an LMHC, plus certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional (CMIP), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). I've also completed Harvard Medical School Executive Education in Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching and trained in Mindful Hypnosis.
I offer secure telehealth sessions across all 67 Florida counties and work with most major insurance plans, so cost doesn't have to be the barrier to getting real help. New clients are currently welcome.
This isn't about becoming someone different. It's about clearing out what's in the way so the version of you who already knows how to lead, adapt, and perform under pressure can actually feel steady doing it.
Are you feeling stuck, unworthy, unmotivated or hopeless?
You have goals and you try to move forward, because you know you have a lot to offer, but something always seems to get in the way of your career and your relationships.
You feel like you are never enough, like you don’t belong.
You wonder how things would be different if you were white, straight, able-bodied or cis-gendered. Every piece of self-help advice you read must be filtered through the lens of being marginalized and having less privilege. You wish someone could understand you.
You know logically how you “should” feel and you try to cope, but you find that you just can’t change by willpower alone.
It is not that you lack the willpower at all, it is something else. How you talk to yourself matters.
A few logistical things to mention. I'm not currently taking new clients, but will open up at some point in June. Please remain in communication with scheduling. If you book yourself, be aware that I may need to change the appointment to find a time if I'm not free. (Grow calender isn't always up to date with my other calenders.) Please complete any intake paperwork prior to your appointment.

I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, domestic violence, criminal justice issues, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I am a firm believer that you are the expert of your story!

Great to meet you! Self-care is something I wholeheartedly believe in. I hold a master's degree in counseling psychology and have been helping others since 2009. The fundamental aspect of therapy is helping others to overcome life toughest seasons; addressing issues that may become a stumbling block. Life challenges can eventually lead to mental discomfort. Helping others for many years, I apply different treatment modalities that will assist you in reaching your therapy goals.
As a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a warm, culturally responsive space where clients of all ages can feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and deeply person centered, grounded in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and intentional growth. For clients who desire it, I also thoughtfully integrate faith-based perspectives into the therapeutic process.
Therapy with me is more than simply talking through challenges. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, break free from cycles that no longer serve you, and create lasting emotional change. Together, we will explore the roots of generational patterns, navigate intrusive thoughts with compassion, and deepen your understanding of how emotions, relationships, and life experiences shape your story.
Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 5 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.
I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up. I have a deep commitment to building trust, honoring each person’s unique journey, and empowering them to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
