Welcome! I hold a BA in Psychology with a minor in Music from Saint Leo University. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018. Since receiving my masters degree, I've worked in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, and the Department of Juvenile Justice residential programs working with children and adolescents. I've obtained my licensure in mental health counseling in 2024. I believe in making my clients feel comfortable by spreading positivity as well as humor in sessions. My approach to therapy consists of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy. I will tailor a treatment plan based on the client's specific needs.

I also have experience treating clients who are having relationship problems or are going through a difficult situation and need help getting past it in a healthy way. My goal is for my clients to have a good quality of life; I want them to feel that life is not something to get through but something for them to enjoy.

Hey! I am Renata. If you are here, you are probably contemplating change. My favorite quote is "tradition is the enemy of progress." There will not be sustained change without addressing potential problems in the way we have traditionally approached our circumstances. If you are open to stepping outside of traditional patterns, you may be ready for a journey of change.
Welcome to my counseling practice, where we will work together in a solution-focused approach to help you with whatever life-changing events, decisions or issues you have facing you in your life. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and a Florida Supreme Court Family Mediator. It is my honor to assist you in your journey to a better life.
I'm passionate about working with adults coping with depression, relationship difficulties, substance use/co-occurring disorders, complicated family dynamics, career or academic challenges, life transitions, and the effects of trauma. In our work together, I'll incorporate reflection, curiosity, and humor alongside therapeutic modalities such as solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
I'll hold a safe, shame-free space for us where we can explore new ways to address unhelpful patterns, move through uncomfortable feelings, and be kinder to yourself. Therapy does not need to be scary nor dull. My clients would say I come across as competent and compassionate. No one deserves to do life alone. I look forward to being on your team and tackling challenges together one step at a time.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Coral Gables, FL. I received my Masters from Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing since 2017. I help parents whose children are struggling with behavior challenges, emotional regulation, and following directions. Using approaches like Play Therapy and PCIT, I work with families to help children manage big feelings and build a stronger, more connected parent-child relationship. In addition to working with children and families, I have experience supporting young adults navigating life transitions, stress, and emotional challenges, helping them build confidence, resilience, and clarity in their goals. I also work with the geriatric population, providing compassionate support around issues like grief, loss, adjustment to life changes, and mental wellness in later life. I tailor my approach to each stage of life, offering a warm, respectful space for growth, healing, and connection.
My name is Nikki Caravella and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Social Work at Youngstown State University in 1996 and my Master's Degree at Case Western Reserve University in 1998. Since that time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients. Each of them came into service bringing a unique history and presenting with equally distinct needs and expectations of counseling. As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges.
I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events. If you happen to live in or near Ocala and are able to come in person for session, we can utilize a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy to neutralize heightened emotional responses.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve positive change and emotional well-being. With expertise in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My goal is to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where clients can explore their challenges, tap into their strengths, and work towards achieving their goals for personal growth and healing.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle.
As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control.
My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling.
This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.
Hi there I am Yaima,
Do you feel like you are in a funk, anxious, depressed, unable to concentrate and preoccupied with everything going on in your life? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm feelings, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, adjustments to change/life transitions such as a job loss or unexpected medical diagnosis, loss and grief, caregiver issues or stress, codependency, anger management, adjustment to college, or substance use and abuse I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but I can assure you, you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back and not letting you be your best version of yourself. Let's work together!

Hi, I’m Kelly.
I became a therapist because I wanted to go deeper than symptom management and help people truly heal. I work with clients who are tired of just surviving and want to understand the root of what’s keeping them stuck, especially those carrying old trauma, stress, or self-blame that never got a chance to be processed.
I believe compassion is the gateway to real change. My style is warm, grounded, and deeply attuned. You won’t find judgment or quick fixes here. You’ll find someone who shows up fully with you, helps you make sense of your inner world, and supports you as you heal patterns that once felt unchangeable.
Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that developed to survive, strengthen the adult self, and gently work through early wounds using approaches like EMDR, parts work, and early trauma protocols. My clients often tell me they feel understood for the first time. Not rushed, not minimized, but truly seen.
If you’re wanting to feel better but aren’t sure how to get there on your own, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk with you, slowly and safely, toward the life you’ve been trying so hard to build.

I want to start by connecting with you in a safe space. I believe growth comes from the courage to face its truth and challenging circumstances in a safe and supportive environment.
