If you are looking to work with a “real" person, I will meet you where you are, and you will be encouraged to be your true self, unapologetically. Bad humor (usually in the form of puns or dad jokes), geeking out over the latest Marvel show/movie, and discussing the latest video game releases can be commonplace in your sessions. Additionally, you will receive the time of someone who truly loves to help other people. My passion has always been to help other people heal and grow. Some things you may have gone through might be uncomfortable to talk about, but I will take every step possible to support you through your journey.

Feeling invisible, disconnected, or emotionally numb? You're not alone. As a licensed mental health counselor, many of my clients are overwhelmed with balancing societal expectations with personal and cultural values. Others carry the weight of childhood or intergenerational trauma. Some struggle with feelings of impostor syndrome in their careers and academically. Many struggle to cultivate healthy relationships, both with themselves and others.

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt the need to help others; making a positive change in someone else’s life brought immense joy to my life. Coming from an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military to achieve my educational goals. While in the military, I moved a lot and had the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned how our differences make us unique, interesting, and just wonderful. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside. For this reason, I decided to become a social worker and help make a positive change in the world, one person at a time. It is so hard to try to tell your life story to a stranger, but just know I'm here to help you find the strength you thought you lost but is just hiding deep in you. We will work together to help you achieve your goals. Spanish: Es my dificil contarle su historia a un estrano, pero yo estoy aqui para ayudarle a encontrar su fuerza interior para mejorar.

For two decades, I've helped women heal from narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, and complex trauma. My clients are often successful, high-achieving women who find themselves stuck in patterns of toxic relationships or struggling to reclaim their identity after emotional abuse. Many come to me feeling isolated, doubting their reality, and wondering how they lost themselves along the way. Through evidence-based approaches like EMDR and my intensive group program Woman Redeemed, I help clients break free from trauma bonds, establish healthy boundaries, and rediscover their authentic selves. The transformation I witness in my clients is profound – from walking on eggshells to walking in confidence, from self-doubt to self-trust, from surviving to thriving. Together, we'll work to heal your past wounds and create the fulfilling future you deserve. Would you like to start your healing journey?

Making the decision to receive any form of mental health counseling can be taxing, however, the results are often positive and rewarding. Learning to face your fears in a healthy and appropriate manner is a sign of growth and maturity. It is not an easy task. You will cry, laugh, and maybe feel a little uncomfortable at times. This is just the therapeutic process working to make you emotionally stronger. *Please note that my preference for treatment sessions are individual and group therapy. However, I do provide a limited number of couples or family therapy sessions for special circumstances.

Do you feel like you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings? Are you not sure where to start? Hi! I'm Chelsea and I know that feeling all too well. In my therapy practice, I utilize an egalitarian approach while working with people. This means that the therapist and the client are the experts of their own experience. I believe we each bring preconceptions and values into the relationship and these core values can help strengthen trust. I’m, in general, curious about people and who they are; so I LOVE hearing about interests or hobbies or anything that relates to a person’s individuality. I incorporate harm reduction and motivational interviewing within my work. I believe that people are conduits to change and change is dependent on motivation and readiness. I think it is okay if someone is not ready or is not sure if they are ready; we all start somewhere! I enjoy watching people evolve and grow into their authentic selves; which includes knowing who they are and what they value. I value self-awareness and introspection, for myself, and want to help others on their path to their wellness.

Hello, my name is Elyce, and I’m so glad our paths have crossed. Has life been feeling overwhelming lately? Are there things you’ve been wanting to work through? Do you long to be truly heard and understood? Life can be challenging at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore the difficulties you're experiencing whether they’re related to trauma, phobias, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship struggles, or life transitions. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to heal and grow. It’s okay to take time for yourself, to focus on what matters most to you. I would be honored to walk beside you on this journey. A little about me: I’m originally from New York and now practice in Florida. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years as a special education teacher in NYC, working primarily with students with emotional and behavioral challenges and those on the autism spectrum. I hold an Ed.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Seton Hall University and bring over eight years of clinical experience to my practice. I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating the lasting effects of trauma. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in creating a space where you can reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we’ll work to transform pain into resilience and help you step into the strongest, most empowered version of yourself. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to take that next step I’m here for you.

Hi there, my name is Kristen and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of FL. Do you lack direction in your life? Feel like you have an internal battle of anxiety in your mind? Struggle with feelings of sadness or lack of motivation? Everyone's struggles look a little different, which is why my goal as a therapist is to customize the treatment to fit YOUR specific needs. As a counselor, I act as a guide to help my clients on their journey toward growth and a better future. I encourage my clients to come up with positive coping skills and improve their daily routines as we work together to accomplish their treatment goals. I have several years of experience working with clients who struggle with addiction to alcohol, drugs, and sex. While I specialize in addictions I enjoy helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, codependency, attachment issues, and bipolar disorder. As an intern, I lead group sessions in a treatment facility and also worked with teenagers in a local high school. Once I became licensed I started to focus on building my private practice. I currently work in Maitland FL seeing clients in person and on telehealth platforms.

Having a supportive network, including a dedicated therapist, creates a holistic environment conducive to positive change.

I help high-achieving women and teens break free from perfectionism, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to feel “enough.” On the outside, many of my clients seem successful—but inside, they’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or the weight of past experiences shaping how they see themselves. As a neurodivergent therapist with ADHD, I know firsthand how a busy brain can feel isolating and chaotic. That perspective guides my approach: compassionate, flexible, and tailored to how each person thinks, feels, and processes the world. In our work together, I help clients uncover the patterns fueling stress while giving practical tools to feel grounded and confident. Teens learn to manage big emotions and social pressures, while women release old beliefs, find balance, and redefine success on their own terms. My mission is simple: you deserve more than survival—you deserve to thrive. Let’s reconnect with your strengths and create a life that feels authentic and empowering.
