As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Texas and Florida) I’ve worked with Individuals, Couples, Families of various sizes, with a plethora of sessions on parenting. Nearly 20 years later, it is still a privilege to work with individuals, couples in various stages or phases of their relationship and families of all sizes. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy". I daydream of going on cruises with my wife, occasionally think about bringing our children along. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movies. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Clinically, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy, with attributes of Narrative, Structural and/or Strategic. *** I do not provide animal support letters or ESA documentation, disability-related paperwork, and fit for work evaluation documentation. Additionally, court-mandated evaluations, divorce or custody agreement related paperwork would be out of the scope of my practice, therefore is not something I engage in at this time.

Peace. Happiness. Love. Success. We seek them. We want them. As we see them within reach, we are knocked down by the challenges and difficulties of life. We find, instead, lives that are filled with anxiety, sadness, grief, trauma, loss and failure. I know this too well. I have experienced this in my own life and in the life of my clients. It does not matter where you are in your life. I have had celebrity clients at the top of their field. I have worked with gold medal athletes. I have worked with businessmen and women, housewives, families, adolescents.

I have over three decades of experience as a husband, father, grandfather, youth pastor, counselor and university professor.

I have wonderful experience working with anxiety, depression, anger, parenting issues, challenging children and teenagers, grief, trauma, substance use issues, family and relationship issues, LGBT issues, and other issues and concerns. I have helped my clients find peace with themselves, with others and in their situations. I have helped my clients find happiness, even amid loss. I have helped my clients find belonging and love in healthy and supportive relationships. I have helped my clients increase their ability to succeed by changing their thinking. One of the foundations of my life and my work was written by M. Scott Peck in The Road Less Travelled. He wrote, “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths… Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?” Let’s start today to solve some of life’s problems and to begin to grasp peace, happiness, love and success.

Welcome! I know how hard it can be to reach out for support. If you're here, I want you to know that you're not alone and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I'm someone who believes in the power of feeling seen, heard, and understood. I believe that therapy should feel like a real conversation where you can breathe, think, and be real, not a clinical checklist. I believe you deserve a space where you don't have to pretend, perform, or be "put together". Therapy with me is about helping you feel safe enough to be your real, unfiltered self. The parts that feel strong and the parts that feel messy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and for over 6 years I've helped adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. A lot of the people that I work with are tired of wearing masks- the "strong one", the "fun one", the "reliable one". Underneath, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or disconnected from who they used to be. I help create a space where you can take those masks off without fear. You don't have to know the right words. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just have to show up as you are. Together, we'll work through what you're carrying and build tools that feel realistic and fit your real life. If you're tired of pretending and ready for a space where you can just be real, I'd love to support you.

My career started as a classroom teacher and school counselor. I currently have over 20 years of experience working with students and families. In addition to my school counseling career, I am a crisis clinician in a major hospital in the DFW metroplex and work in over 32 emergency rooms providing on-call patient care. We all face unexpected challenges which sometimes leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. I believe that we have the ability to make healthy and appropriate choices regardless of the circumstances in which we may find ourselves. My role as a therapist is to assist and support clients as they learn new ways of coping and adjusting to life’s challenges. Counseling will vary depending upon one’s personality, stage of life, strengths or particular concern. Getting started can feel overwhelming. You have no idea where to even begin. You’ve been putting off therapy because you’re afraid it won’t help. More than anything you’d like to be able to feel happy again. You’d like to be able to put yourself out there more and to create deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You want to have the courage to be your authentic self without hiding behind a mask.

Whether guiding individuals through the process of self-discovery, assisting couples in navigating relationship challenges, or supporting families in enhancing communication and cohesion, I am deeply invested in helping clients navigate life's complexities and achieve their therapeutic goals. My approach is characterized by compassion, authenticity, and a steadfast commitment to empowering clients to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

My name is Hope Kleckley, and I am a licensed mental health counselor and a Certified School Counselor with extensive experience in the field. I have made it my mission to empower and support children, families, senior citizens, and individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves, ensuring that they receive the guidance and care they need. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice from Shaw University, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding societal structures and issues. My academic journey continued at Webster University, where I obtained my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, equipping me with advanced counseling techniques and knowledge. Throughout my career, I have specialized in a range of areas, including trauma-informed care, behavioral disorders, and ADD/ADHD. I also focus on social-emotional learning, recognizing its critical role in the development and well-being of individuals, particularly children. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients reframe negative thought patterns, as well as person-centered therapy that emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I incorporate mindfulness techniques and play therapy to create an engaging and effective therapeutic environment. With a deep commitment to fostering resilience and personal growth, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I work with, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive.

Hi, I’m Maria. Do you ever feel pulled in too many directions — juggling relationships, work, and your own well-being — yet never feeling caught up? I specialize in helping high achievers and busy professionals manage anxiety, prevent burnout, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you and create sustainable ways to restore balance. My approach is holistic, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. I often integrate mindfulness, yoga, and creative expression to help you build self-awareness and self-compassion. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I offer a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. With empathy and evidence-based techniques, we’ll work toward meaningful change—so you can feel grounded, fulfilled, and confident again.

I'm so glad you're here! I'm an LICSW with over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of clients. My background includes extensive experience serving children, teens, young adults, parents, and families in an outpatient setting. I bring a casual, down to earth approach to therapy with a focus on making the process feel approachable and positive. If you're someone who is feeling hesitant to start therapy for yourself or your child, or you’ve struggled to find a therapist who is a good fit; know that my first priority is to make it feel comfortable, natural and so much less daunting than you might be thinking. Just book a session and show up. Leap and the net will appear! A little more about me: I'm a Minnesota native currently living in Florida. I spend a lot of my time as a sports mom on the sidelines at soccer and volleyball games, watching professional hockey (especially the MN Wild!), and being hopelessly bad at gardening in Florida.

I am licensed in Florida with over 22 years of Clinical Mental Health & Wellness experience.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier quality of life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I congratulate you on taking this step on your journey to overall wellness and optimal health.
