Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I earned my Master's Degree from Webster University and am currently a doctoral candidate pursuing a Ph.D. in General Psychology at Capella University. My topic of study is on perinatal experiences, so this is truly an interest for me.
I have been in private practice for five years. I support women who have experienced a variety of childbirth-related challenges, whether it's infertility, anxiety during pregnancy, fetal loss, and postpartum anxiety/depression.
Whether this is your first time exploring the options for therapy or you are seeking to return to the "therapy couch" to work on something different, know I'm proud of you for taking that step!
I recognize that therapy can be a struggle all within itself due to our beliefs, preconceived notions, and busy daily lives. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk beside you with compassion and empathy to achieve your goals.
As a therapist, I have worked in a range of areas, including outpatient substance abuse treatment, with individuals involved in intimate partner violence (survivors and perpetrators), in addition to education-based interventions for anger management & substance use.
Additionally if you decide you would like to meet with me, feel free to reach out if a time slot you would need is not available. I am more than willing to accommodate with advance notice for specific days/times you may need.
My name is Benjamin Miller and I have been in the field of counseling for almost 10 years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specialize in working with adults/late teens who struggle with Drug and Alcohol addiction, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem and Identity Issues, Career Issues, Personal Growth, Depression, or your common day to day stressors. I use an eclectic approach to therapy with my focus methods being Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Grief Therapy, Couples Counseling, Career Counseling, Substance Use and Addiction Therapy and Talk Therapy for your everyday stressors. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy. I am very passionate about empowering individuals to design their lives and remain discipline through adversity.
Are you struggling to reach your goals or feel like 'you', again?
Getting therapy does not mean that hardships are automatically alleviated. It takes strength, hard work, and teaming together to discover the path toward inner growth and positive change. The best part, is that simply by doing research in contacting a counselor, you are accomplishing the first and perhaps most difficult step. Let me assist you in your journey towards a healthier, happier, and more serene you.
I see individuals as well as couples. My main specialties of counseling include: anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, meaning and purpose seeking, first responders and their families, postpartum issues, grief, trauma, stress management, substance use, anger management, parenting concerns, peer relationships, and much more.
I utilize a variety of techniques and methods to aid the client in discovering the path that allows them to feel more positive growth and change in their lives. I aim for the client feeling comfortable and providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment that facilitates this. The client and therapist need to be a great 'fit'!

I graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Psychology, MEd in Mental Health Counseling, and an EdS degree.

I am originally from Chicago and I have called Florida home for over 20 years. I believe that everyone is capable of greatness if they can only get the direction and chance that they need.

My goal is to help individuals any way that I can and I would love to be the catalyst to help you reach your full potential.

Finances should never be a barrier to treatment. Call today and see if an arrangement can be worked out that can meet your needs.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been practicing for over 10 years.

Let's work together!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Saint Leo University and have over 20 years of clinical experience serving children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings: Community Mental Health and School Social Work.
Especially helping clients with stress, relationship issues, parenting, family conflict, addictions (eating disorders and/or substance use), depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, women's issues, trauma, behavioral concerns, and mood disorders.
Be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards a better more rewarding life. It's not always easy to take time away from your hectic schedule to focus on your own wants and needs. However, the outcome can be incredibly rewarding! Together we can cultivate resiliency and bring balance back into your life.
Using a holistic approach, I assist my clients to effectively face life challenges in a safe and connected environment. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and meditation into the session if my client is open to these practices.
Hi, I’m Abby, and I love supporting individuals who seem to have it all together on the outside, yet internally are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, stress, or a sense of disconnection. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning and successful in different areas of life, but beneath the surface they may feel stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer serve them.
My approach is warm, intentional, and deeply personalized. I believe therapy is about more than learning coping skills—it’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level and creating meaningful, lasting change. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns shaping your experiences and work toward greater emotional clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.
I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches. I view symptoms like anxiety not as something “wrong” with you, but as meaningful signals that deserve curiosity and compassion. I strive to help clients develop a healthier and more connected relationship with themselves.
Therapy with me is collaborative, focused, and supportive while still allowing space for deeper healing and growth.

Hi, I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 11 years of experience. I have a bachelor's degree in social work from the University of South Florida and I received my master’s degree from Webster University in counseling. With my work in the hospital I have extensive experience helping people struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, and life challenges become the best version of themselves.
Hello and welcome!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with almost eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master’s degree from Barry University and have a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, school or work stress, or relationship difficulties.
In our work together, I focus on teaching healthy coping strategies, improving communication skills, and finding effective ways to manage emotional triggers. My goal is to empower you to feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your daily life.
Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and playing card games. I’m dedicated to ongoing learning, both personally and professionally, so I can continue to provide the best support possible.
I believe that every challenge offers an opportunity for growth, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and change. Above all, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and want support before things begin to unravel. Perhaps your mind feels crowded with intrusive thoughts, distressing images, or emotions that are hard to manage alone. You may be seeking clarity, emotional stability, and a way to feel more in control of your life. Therapy can help you slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop healthier ways to cope. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you regain balance, think more clearly, and move toward the life you want to live.
I specialize in trauma that affects adults. This maybe a combat trauma, a recent experience that was traumatic, or an early childhood event(s) that continues to affect you. I use a combination of techniques such as EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people move on from traumatic experiences in their lives.
It hasn't been easy, and you've been thinking about how to change. Let us help you in your path to self discovery, and leading a more healthy life style.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of Central Florida and have been practicing since 2022.

Navigating through life can be difficult. Hi! My name is Colette Biondi. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) located in Ocala, Florida.

I've been practicing for 40 years and work with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, active listening and support to help clients gain coping skills and independence.
Everyone deserves to become the best version of themselves, feel good and make healthy decisions. As we get to know each other and figure life out together, we will laugh, talk and even have some fun along the way. Life is too short to take everything so seriously.
Most of the time the hardest part of change is the decision to do something different. There are times when we need some help to bring focus, clarity, and peace to our lives. At Purple Heart Counseling, I utilize a mindfulness and introspective approach to help identify your thoughts and feelings. We can focus on your goals and strive towards you living a more optimal and healthy life.
I would like to be able to help you create a safe place and a safe space that you feel comfortable to work on the issues that are impacting you. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.
Hi! My name is Moriah E. McCarthy. I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness. Treatment with me blends the exploration of the past and the deepening of insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum. I use psycho-education and skills-building to empower clients to support themselves after counseling. Strengths and weaknesses are brought forward to integrate thoughts, feelings and actions into the whole self. I believe in collaborating with clients throughout the process. Clients feel supported and also challenged to take responsibility for their own success. When you work with me, I hope that we partner in your treatment. I value your feedback, appreciate you opening to possibilities, and taking action for greater stability. My approach is best described as client-centered and creative.
I specialize in supportive validating psychotherapy- I have developed my skills working in mental health over 20 years. I am passionate about my work and believe in the power of connection to help promote change in therapy- I use Mindfulness DBT skills and EMDR as my primary helping modalities- I will meet you where you are at and help you remove your blocks to finding happiness. Whether you need to change or learn acceptance- therapy can be a useful tool in this process.
Welcome, I'm glad you're here! While I am relatively new to the Grow Therapy platform, I am a seasoned counselor with over 20 years of experience.

I have a masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Florida. I have specialized training and experience working with people who have disabilities such as medical/health, psychological, learning, physical, and sensory diagnoses.

In my work with clients, I focus on creating a supportive and collaborative space where your experiences are heard and valued. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and strengths, using evidence-based approaches to transform insight into action. I believe that even small steps forward can create meaningful momentum, helping you move towards resilience, healing, and growth.

*In accordance with Florida ethical standards and to maintain appropriate therapeutic boundaries and role clarity, I am unable to accept adolescent clients involved in active custody disputes, parenting plan litigation, or reunification therapy. If the adolescent's parents are separated or share legal guardianship, it is essential that the other parent or legal guardian provide consent to therapy before beginning.
**Furthermore, services provided are strictly therapeutic in nature for adults and adolescents and I do not participate in legal proceedings nor do I provide forensic services, evaluations, expert opinions, testimony, affidavits, or written documentation for use in legal matters or for court use.
I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered. As I often remind clients, our connection to the world is shaped by the people we engage with. Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality
of life.
As an athlete, a family man, and a man of faith, I understand the challenges with adjusting to change associated with leaving a sport or career, you love, before you believe your time is up. I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe in the power of emotional support to build resilience and personal strength during challenging times. It's not always easy to admit we may need help, but doing so is a kind of empowerment all its own. I have 23 years' experience in education (10 as a school counselor) and 4 in clinical practice. My main focus is working with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, and those who have experienced trauma.

I think one of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right "fit". That relationship is key in helping grow, trust and meet any goals that you might have going into the therapeutic process. Let me give you a glimpse of who I am!
I'm Amy, a LMHC, who has been in the counseling world for over 15 years and love what I get to do. I started my career in the community health sector which I learned so much and worked with diverse groups of people with an array of various needs. I have worked in school settings as well as in homes. I have been deep within the community in many of my roles along the way.
I have developed many techniques along the way as not one intervention will work for everyone. Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these.
I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?
With over 20 years of combined experience begining on suicide prevention, DV, and community hotlines, in hospitals & clinics, all levels of mental health and addiction treatment centers, palliative and hospice home care, along with extensive education, certification, & training; I have learned and loved to coach, advocate, educate, counsel, & inspire healing.
I stand by personal and professional values of authenticity, courage, integrity, and compassion. I stand by the ethics of the National Association of Social Work. My Clifton Strengths are Empathy, Positivity, Input, Activator, and Achiever.
As always, it remains my passion, mission, and joy to witness others expand & I am fulfilled by continuing this journey with you. I am always expanding myself too, so I continue to learn, read, and attend extensive continuing trainings.
In personal time, I love taking my dogs for runs/walks/hikes, doing yoga/reiki/meditation/breathwork, dancing, riding my motorcycle, being in nature, and spending time with my loved family, friends, colleages, cats, and farm animals. Lol.
You lost something important to you and your world has never been the same. Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe it happened so long ago, you can't remember the details. Either way, you're haunted by the ghost of a better life. It always seems to be just out of reach. Something needs to change, you can feel it in your bones. But every time you start to move in the right direction, things fall apart. Sometimes you wonder if you're doomed to feel this miserable and broken for the rest of your life.
I've been helping people rescue themselves from trauma, addiction, grief, despair and fear since 2015. Helping them break the cycles of frustration and codependency. Find a way to get out of their own way and find their joy again.
LASTING POSITIVE LIFE CHANGE is possible. Even for people who think they are "too broken." If you're age 18+ and ready for a new perspective: buckle up, my friend! I can't wait to be a part of your comeback story!

My name is Jim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I understand that something in your life has initiated this search for support and you’ve come to the right place.

My Specialties Include: Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use / Addiction, and Trauma
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Qualified Clinical Supervisor, and owner of Storybook Counseling. I empower women in their journey of self discovery and healing. I specialize in helping women and teen girls who feel held back by anxiety, low self-esteem, mood swings, procrastination, obsessions/compulsions and self doubt.
Life transitions can be difficult and as women we experience a multitude of these changes. These difficulties can appear in early adolescence, during pregnancy and motherhood, in the work force, or through health challenges. Feelings of anxiety can present differently for everyone. I am here to walk with you during this journey! Together we can improve your coping skills, explore your purpose in life, and find meaningfulness in each day.
Are you struggling with healthy communication in your relationship or family? I support individuals and couples in healing by helping them identify inner strengths, develop essential relationship skills, and build self-confidence. Utilizing my extensive experience working with clients navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, and depression, I provide a compassionate, safe space to help you thrive. My practice is dedicated to fostering resilience and sustainable emotional wellness.
I provide compassionate, high-quality care grounded in respect, clinical knowledge, and a deep understanding of trauma. Many individuals face emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, or anger that interfere with daily functioning — often rooted in unresolved trauma or chronic stress. My goal is to support you or your loved ones in improving your quality of life and emotional well-being.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy when appropriate. EMDR can be a powerful tool for healing PTSD and does not require ongoing therapy outside of EMDR sessions unless desired.
I strive to make therapy approachable and comfortable, offering a calm, welcoming space where clients feel seen and supported. Whether you’re navigating life stressors, recovering from trauma, or just need someone to talk to — I’m here to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
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.
My name is Christina Herwig and I have been practicing for over 20 years in south Florida . My hope is the help clients better understand themselves and the world around them. Whether it’s your first time in counseling or you are looking to dive deeper than you have before. I am hopeful working together we will help you feel empowered and safe.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance use concerns, and difficult life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and have a particular interest in helping clients process painful experiences and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, respected, and free from judgment. Together, we can explore how past experiences, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and patterns of substance use or other coping behaviors may be affecting your life while developing healthier ways of coping and responding.
I integrate EMDR with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My work emphasizes emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, communication, self-compassion, and practical coping skills. When addressing substance use, I provide a nonjudgmental space to explore triggers, motivation for change, underlying emotional needs, and healthier strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions.
I recognize that trauma, grief, mental health concerns, and substance use can be interconnected. Painful experiences may influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with distress. I approach this work with careful attention to emotional safety, preparation, stabilization, and readiness.
Therapy does not need to be rushed. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences, recognizing your strengths, and making meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand what you are carrying, and support you in building greater confidence, resilience, healthier coping strategies, and trust in yourself as you move forward.

I hold a certification in ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider issued by Evergreen Certification.
Please do not set an appointment with me if you are in any form of crisis or harmful situation, have thoughts to harm yourself or others, contact 9 1 1 or 9 8 8 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to your nearest emergency room. I do not specialize in the treatment of severe depression.
No programe una cita conmigo si se encuentra en una crisis o tiene pensamientos de hacerse daño a sí mismo o a otros, llame al 911 o al 988 (Línea de Ayuda para Crisis), o acuda a la sala de urgencias más cercana. Si busca tratemiento con medicación, debe reunirse con un médico, un psiquiatra o un enfermero especialista en salud mental (PMHNP).
I take two to three weekends off per month (Friday evening through Monday morning). After 6 pm and and on weekends, I do not read nor answer any messages. Messages will be replied during office hours. I take Holidays and weekends off.
I am required under State law to report a suspected abuse of a child, elderly person or individual with a disability. I may have to breach confidentiality if you report a specific plan or intent to cause harm to yourself or an identifiable person.
I look forward to meeting with you and providing therapeutic support.

Hello, I am a clinical social worker who has practiced in multiple setting over the last 18 years and I value the experience of creating trust, empathy and understand in the treatment process. I want each person to feel seen and heard. I believe that healing happens when someone has that experience. I want you to be curious about yourself. It is important to me that you find a way show-up for yourself and others with grace and compassion.
