Hi, I’m Stasia Manak. I’ve spent over 9 years working alongside people as they face life’s challenges—whether it’s trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, or just feeling lost.

My goal is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and grounded in your life, one step at a time.

Hello, congratulations on taking the next step in your journey. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I am very passionate about helping people reach their goals and witnessing their growth throughout the therapeutic process. My heart is in helping my community by motivating my clients and assisting them in excelling in the challenges they may face. I provide Person-Centered, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I have helped countless individuals learn coping skills to recover from depression, anxiety, and stress-related issues, as well as assisting them in navigating life transitions. It’s never too late to take the next step; I provide a no-judgment atmosphere. I have immediate availability and cannot wait to begin helping you achieve your goals and create lasting change.

"You are your best thing"-Toni Morrison. Growing through this journey we call life will unfortunately bring things you can't control & it's not always easy to cope & it's not always easy to talk to someone. Going to therapy doesn't "fix" you. It enhances you, it helps you to better understand why you struggle with certain patterns & behaviors & why you feel stuck at times. So, pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself, right now in this moment & for making the right decision to strive beyond where you are. Know you don't have to walk this journey alone. I'm a diverse & creative therapist who is passionate about helping people rise above unfortunate obstacles to help them reach a potential they didn't know they had within them. Yes, you have the potential to be a better version of yourself. It has always been there. It's the inner strength you haven't tapped into yet. Some of my specialties are helping individuals who struggle with: past & current trauma, anxiety, low-self esteem, relationship issues, PTSD, sexual abuse/assault, over-thinking, boundary setting, codependency, depression, low-confidence, self-worth & perfectionism. Ask yourself this one question in this very moment, what's holding you back? Let's walk this journey together. You got this!

Imagine a life where it wasn't a struggle to get out of bed. A life where you feel confident in your own skin. You trust and love yourself for who you are, not who others want you to be. Your relationships are working and you are capable of setting healthy boundaries. Right now, life may not look anything like that. You may feel depressed, anxious, worthless, lost, or even stuck. I'm Kendra, a Licensed Therapist, and I help women who struggle with boundary setting, self-love and relationship issues. If you're a woman struggling with self-esteem, difficulty establishing healthy boundaries within your relationships, or work-life balance, then you're in the right place. My virtual space is free of judgment for women like you. I provide a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach by integrating evidenced based treatment specific for your needs.

​ Do you struggle with feeling bad about yourself, developing and /or maintaining healthy relationships with others? Do you feel down, depressed, feeling you let yourself or others down? Do you experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or trauma? Are these concerns impacting you at home, work, or other places? Seeking therapy can be scary, however, you have made the right decision. I believe individuals are the "experts on themselves" and possess the ability to make the desired positive change in their lives. In the session, we will utilize a Person Center Approach consisting of meeting the individual were they are, actively listening, providing support, encouragement, and validation, as well as utilizing Evidence -Based Treatment Modalities ( such Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Person Centered Approach, and Psychoeducation) Supportive Therapy, Stress Management, and Anger Management. Together, we will work collaboratively to treat the whole person and empower the person to find their way forward.

Originally from Asheville, North Carolina, I moved to Central Florida in 2018 to pursue my graduate education.

I value and approach each individual therapeutic relationship fully and empathize with the different spectrum of emotions that a Client may experience during the course of treatment. I firmly believe each individual has the ability and strength to overcome their struggles, but that sometimes having additional support in the form of therapy can assist one to better identify and recognize the skills, strategies and strengths they already possess.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire and Texas, I am dedicated to fostering healing and personal growth through an integrative approach to mental health. My practice is built on the belief that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit, and this conviction led me to embrace the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method as a powerful tool in my therapeutic work.

The Trauma Conscious Yoga Method not only complements traditional psychotherapy but also enhances my clients' ability to process trauma at a deeper level.

My approach is tailored to meet each client's unique needs, blending talk therapy with mindful movement and breathwork. This experiential method empowers clients to reconnect with their bodies, develop greater self-awareness, and foster a sense of grounding and stability. I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journeys toward healing, helping them reclaim their stories and find peace in their bodies. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life stressors, or the lasting effects of trauma, my goal is to empower you to reclaim your narratives and move toward a place of balance and inner peace. I am here to support you in discovering the strength and tools you possess within. Together, we can embark on a transformative path toward wellness and self-empowerment.

I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), based in Florida. I got my Masters at a holistic-therapy school called California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and I've been practicing for 9 years! I help populations (currently a lot of ADHD, couples, trauma, anxiety, and depression in young adults). I'm here to assist you in gaining clarity into a new chapter of your life - one in which you can identify obstacles in your life and collaboratively find solutions with me.

Hi there, I'm Mentoria. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. 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. I also integrate mindfulness and imagery to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but 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 hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
