Welcome, I’m Sam Moglen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy for individuals throughout California, Idaho, South Carolina, and Florida via online sessions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your daily life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and attuned to your nervous system. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and nervous system-based approaches to help you process difficult experiences and shift patterns that no longer serve you. Rather than just talking about problems, we’ll gently work with both your thoughts and your body’s responses so you can experience lasting change, not just temporary relief.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kristen Montiel. If you’re here, chances are something in your relationship, or within yourself, feels harder than it should.
You might be:
-Overthinking, anxious, or needing reassurance in relationships
- Feeling disconnected from your partner, even when things seem to be going okay
-Trying to repair after a betrayal or affair and unsure how to move forward
- You are a high-achieving, self-aware person who’s frustrated that insight hasn’t led to change yet
I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals and couples, including those navigating affair recovery, parenthood, anxiety, and relationship disconnection. I know searching for a therapist can be a daunting process but I'm so glad you're here!
With over 15 years of experience and training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving their experiences and how to actually change them. My goal is to help you feel more secure, connected, and confident in your relationships and in yourself.

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

Hello there you beautiful human!
My name is Krysta and I am most excited and passionate about helping humans find their whole magical selves. Whether you're struggling with a lifelong diagnosis, traumatic experiences that are interfering with your life, a recent crisis or setback, or are struggling to find your place in this life, I would be honored to work with you and help support you in all the next steps you are made to take. Life is hard enough as it is, throwing anything else on top of that can not only be overwhelming but often times incredibly lonely. You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and reminded that you aren't alone.
I specialize in helping women of all ages find their power and voice as well on growing in their ability to see their value and gifts. In addition, I also specialize in working with ADHD women looking to enhance their own identity as a neurodivergent and powerful individual. As a neurodivergent human myself, it is a gift to get to meet and work with individuals looking to better understand their own magnificent (albeit creatively chaotic) brain. I offer a quiet space that is designed entirely around you and what you need.

Hello, my name is Jacob Price, LMHC. I've been licensed in the state of Florida since 2013 and running a solo private practice since 2017. It's my belief that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. Opening up in therapy can feel vulnerable and scary at first so it's important that the environment is one where the client feels understood and not judged. When a person is able to clearly express themselves and process how they feel in a supportive environment, they have more clarity in understanding themselves and their life circumstances.
During therapy, we'll use what we learn about you to help us figure out which evidenced based therapies and coping skills might benefit you the most. Just like anything that's of worth, therapy requires patience, effort and a willingness to try new ways of thinking and being. If you're wanting an empathetic, warm environment where you feel heard so we can work on helping you accomplish your goals, I'm hear for you. Feel free to schedule an appointment.

Welcome! I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a variety of challenges including: anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions/adjustment issues, complex trauma, and attachment issues. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you have been in therapy before, it is important to choose a therapist that you feel connected to and has experience in treating the areas that align with your needs.
Therapy is an intimate experience, a collaboration between you and the therapist. I take that role seriously and understand that to do my best work, I need to understand each client holistically. I feel like my biggest asset is the ability to see a client's strengths, empower them to achieve their goals, and support them throughout the therapeutic process.
Therapy helps uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow you to deal with the challenges that arise in life. A successful therapy experience does not mean a person is cured, it means the person has the inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life. My goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to successfully deal with life, on your own terms.
With warmth, compassion, and a bit of humor, I aim to create a safe, supportive environment to help foster personal growth and healing.

My path to becoming your therapist is somewhat unique compared to others in the field. Over the years, I have built a diverse professional background that began with a career in sales. I then transitioned into the Long-Term Care Industry, where I served as both an Admissions and Marketing Director and a Director of Social Services. In addition to these roles, I have been actively involved in my community, working as an HIV/AIDS Intervention Specialist and a Substance Abuse Counselor. For a decade, I also had the privilege of serving as a Licensed Pastor.
On a personal level, my life has been enriched by becoming a husband, a father, and more recently, a grandfather. Throughout my journey, I have experienced many of life’s joys and victories. At the same time, I have learned valuable lessons from self-inflicted setbacks and from dealing with the consequences of choices that cannot be changed.

You may have reached a point where you know it’s time to figure out what comes next, even if you’re not sure how to begin. Maybe the past still shapes how you see yourself, how much you trust your own judgment, or how connected you feel to who you are.
I’m Norlan McKenzie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, working with adults affected by childhood abuse and abusive relationships. In our work, you don’t have to rush, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we slow things down and listen to the parts of you carrying self-doubt, fear, or inner criticism, and you decide how much to share and when.
My British Caribbean roots shape how I think about family, culture, and identity, and how they influence the ways people learn to get through things. In my practice, this means honoring the unspoken expectations of resilience you carry, like the pressure to keep going, keep quiet, or keep everyone else okay. Together, we can untangle the coping patterns passed down in your family, so you can decide what still serves you and what it’s finally safe to set down.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at the University of South Florida. I’ve worked in mental health since 2012, supporting people across Florida and the Caribbean, and I now offer telehealth sessions.
My hope is that you begin to trust yourself again and build a life that feels like your own.

Whether you are navigating emotional challenges, relationship or family conflict, questions surrounding gender identity or sexuality, attachment and codependency concerns, or the effects of trauma, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
As a therapist, I bring compassion, curiosity, authenticity, and an affirming approach to the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy should be collaborative and individualized, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. I strive to meet you where you are, help you understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and empower you with tools to navigate emotions, establish healthy boundaries, and build more fulfilling relationships.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and diverse relationship structures navigating unhealthy or abusive relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, codependency, and unresolved trauma. I am particularly passionate about helping clients break unhealthy patterns, rebuild self-confidence, and develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.
I also provide sex-positive, affirming care to sexually and relationally diverse populations, including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships, as well as individuals and relationships involved in kink, BDSM, and consensual power exchange (CPE).
My therapy space welcomes individuals, relationships, and families of all backgrounds, identities, sexual orientations, races, and cultures. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. My hope is to help you heal from past hurts, navigate present challenges, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Hello, I am Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry, a licensed psychotherapist in Florida and New York. With over ten years of clinical experience and more than twenty years in education, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, educational insight, and genuine compassion to my work with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families.
While my education and credentials (Psy.D., M.S.Ed., LCSW, CAGCS) have prepared me for this work, it is my ability to connect with people, see beyond their immediate struggles, and recognize the strengths they may not yet see in themselves that gives my work its deepest meaning. I believe everyone has a unique story and deserves a safe, compassionate space to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
Having walked school hallways, partnered with parents, and supported families through real-life challenges, I understand the quieter struggles young people often carry. Central to my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that children do not heal in isolation. Meaningful change often involves strengthening relationships, empowering caregivers, and supporting the entire family system.
My work also extends to adults navigating anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family conflict, depression, and life transitions. Whether supporting a child struggling with emotions, a young adult finding direction, or an adult facing personal challenges, my commitment remains the same: helping each person discover their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and move forward with confidence and hope.
My therapeutic approach is creative, experiential, and relational. Therapy goes beyond conversation and may include expressive techniques, guided role-play, storytelling, and developmentally appropriate activities. Each approach is tailored to the individual's needs, fostering meaningful connections, personal growth, and lasting positive change.

I bring over 20 years of experience working with individuals across all ages—adults, young adults, teens, and children. Throughout my career, I’ve supported people navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, faith-related concerns, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, substance use, men’s issues, self-esteem struggles, decision-making difficulties, and grief and loss.
My path into counseling began with a master’s degree in pastoral counseling. Over time, I felt called to serve a broader community, which led me to pursue a second master’s degree in counseling psychology. This training allows me to integrate both clinical expertise and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, supported, and safe. My primary goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing, or painful—without judgment or pressure.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify what feels most helpful for you and build a path forward that supports your growth, clarity, and well-being.

As a Florida native based in Pensacola, I primarily offer online therapy sessions, with a focus on evening and weekend availability. I understand that these times often provide greater convenience for clients balancing busy schedules, and I am committed to working flexibly to find a session time that best suits your needs.
With over 18 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds. My practice is dedicated to providing caring, effective, and solution-focused therapy to those navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship complexities, chronic conditions, and significant life transitions.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a blend of Rogerian (person-centered) principles and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I integrate clinical hypnosis (when appropriate) and mindfulness practices to foster deeper insight and facilitate positive, lasting change. My aim is to weave these powerful techniques into a seamless, purposeful conversation, tailored specifically to your journey.
Through our collaborative work, we will clearly define your personal goals, identify the most effective strategies for your unique situation, and reinforce new skills to ensure the changes you make are sustainable and deeply integrated into your life.

Life can be a lot sometimes. Between work, relationships, family expectations, social pressures, and trying to figure out who you are and where you're headed, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Maybe you're constantly overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, feeling emotionally drained, or wondering why you feel stuck even when everything seems fine on the outside. You might be the person everyone counts on, but rarely give yourself the same care and attention.
I'm Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional, and I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or pretending you have it all figured out. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, build healthier patterns, and create meaningful changes that actually feel right for you.
I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in their own thoughts, or caught in the cycle of putting everyone else first.
You don't have to wait until you hit rock bottom to prioritize your mental health. You deserve a space to work through what's weighing on you, reconnect with yourself, and figure out what moving forward looks like, one step at a time.

My name is Carlos Izquierdo, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and other difficulties that may leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
I believe that many psychological struggles are not signs of something being “wrong” with us, but rather the result of patterns and strategies that may have once served a purpose but are no longer helping us move forward. Therapy can provide an opportunity to understand these patterns, develop new perspectives, and discover more effective ways of responding to life’s challenges.
My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore what is holding you back, recognize your strengths, and develop more flexible and creative ways of navigating difficult situations. I see challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as opportunities for greater self-understanding, personal growth, and meaningful change.

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 happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy 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.
